No. 199) in Borough Hall on Wednesday , afternoon, and all are saying it was the ; a beat ever. t By reason of the illness of the Wojfby £ Master UeweUyn Hildreth, Past Matter , Prank & Bate of Fishing Creek preai- , ded. Other officers in plaoe or anting , were, Overseer, Joseph Gamp; Steward, ( Truman Hickman, Asst. Steward, Shep- ( ard Taylor; Lady Asst.

Letskus, Will Jungkurth, , Theodore Salverson, George Meade, Leon < Herbert, Alden Moore, Thomas Larsen, j Patience Bichter, and Charles M Her- ( man and wife, of Stone Harbor. , Reports from the seven subordinates of , the county showed all to be gainging , In membership and prestige end in all , the order stands for. Mrs. Bisley, Mas- | ter of the Stone Harbor, announced the ] greatest gain in membership since the , last Pomona. Its meetings were every < Saturday night and with invited guests < for the "afterwards." The present ef- j fort was in forwarding the community ( spirit, making newcomers to the town welcome and giving them a chance to become acquainted. Last Saturday was Young People's night, and with many ( Easter visitors made glad. Cold Spring . was making a success of -monthly open meetings under the lecturer's care. South Seaville held its meetings the second and fourth Tuesdays, and the worse the weather the better the attendance. Members on the sick list were sister Wilbraham and Mrs. Robert Hand of j - the Cold Spring; UeweUyn Hildrith of the Bio Grande, and Mrs. Ereklel Corson of the Palermo. Expressions of sympathy were expressed for brother and sister Herbert in the death of their mother. The executive committee through Minnie Bate, its chairman, report-d upon ' delinquents. Action taken upon it was 1 to extend the days of grace to the next meeting. Other business was to name Frank I Swain as delegate -to the meeting for organizing the State Board of Agriculture to be held in New Brunswick, May - 18; to accept Avalon's invitation to hold -a picnic in its Casino in August, and to name Frank Swain and Clarence Wescott to act with the executive commit- j tee in forwarding the arrangements for ( it; and to accept the invitation of Henry Young, master of the Palermo grange, j to be its guests for the autumn meeting of the Pomona. * The banquet was held in the Assembly Boom of the new school building thus j giving the visiting members tbe chance : to see what Stone Harbor is doing for j its children. The menu included roast turkey, potato salads and chips.Velishes. Jellies, fried oysters, dessert, coffee and ' tea. Tiff story of the exemplification of the fifth degree work, ft the presence of Worthy State blaster Gaunt and of the j Lecturer's Hour will be told next week. A resolution from the Stone Harbor Grange favoring the Camden and Philadelphia bridge presented by Reese P. Ei»ley was "adopted.

The thousands of people who viewed ' the Treasury Department's exhibit at the San Francisco exposition were doubtless much impressed by the splendiferous bars of gold bullion which typified the solidity of onr fiscal institutions. We say "typified" with deliberation — for it now appears fbat these 1 bars, which are being shown for a time , in Washington, are not .bullion at all . but are of lead, covered with gold leaf. This deception, we any, exactly typifies the manner in which the nation's finances are now being conducted by Mr. McAdoo and his assistants. Faked exhibits of bullion go well with tinkered statements of the condition of the Treasury "URIC ACID NEVER CAUSED jyjEUMATISM"

AN EPICURE'S DELIGHT A general idea is that ths . oyster crab s "baby soft shell," but she (for the edible oyster crab is always a female) an entirely digerent species from the blue crab, which is the "soft shell" of commerce and after-theater sappers. She lives only in association with tbe oyster and carries her eggs into the oyster shell, her young being hatched there and evicted by the oyster only whehthey become so numerous and lively as to he a nuisance to the foster-mother. The , males then assume s hard shell and a dirty brown color and shift for themselves as best they can. The female crabs, of a dainty pinkish white hue, I scurry about to esdape. their enemies until they can find a friendly oyster to take them in and care for them until ! they reach a Broadway restuarant via the oyster dealer. I This protected life makes the shell of the femsle oyster crab degenerate into mer membrane, and her legs become so weak that she cannot get about or survive at. all away from the friendly companionship of the oyster. Whether it is true that she is a scavenger for and caterer to the oyster is a question the scientists art divided over. At all events she becomes a dainty omrsel and shrinks in the cooking processes that it does not seem as if you were getting much for your money when your order an omepatty or salad of oyster crabs. But what you do get is a sublimated reminder of the daintiest shrimp you ever ate, with about the same relationship in flavor that a mushroom has to a Brussels sprout. — Marine Journal.
