fish should be put into boiling water.
By putting flaccid and watery fish into
cold water it is rendered still more soft
and watery, but the boiling water sets it
and renders it firmer; on the other hand,
the cold water penetrates and softens
the fish that is of a firmer texture and
makes it more tender and delicate.
Keep the water skimmed while the lish

it leaves the bone easily. Be sure to

Lunches.
the Many Courier-Journal, housekeepers arc at a loss, says
to know what to fix
for children who must take their dinners
to whose school, or the husbands and sons
lunches must be eaten from home.
The following dainties will be found ex¬
cellent for such:
* Sandwiches—Cut slices of fresh bread,
from which remove the crust. Take the
fat from slices of cold ham, and chop the
lean very fine. To every teacup of
'Chopped French mustard ham add and ha the f a teaspoonful of

pounds Chopped Spiced Beef-Chop two
oi raw beef and a small piece of
suet; season with pepper, salt and a lit
tie bunch of dried sweet herbs. Add
two eggs, half a teacup of bread crumbs
and a tablespoonful of butter; mix and
work in a roll, with a little flour to
make stick together. Bake in a pan;
let get cold and slice for lunch.
Jellied Veal—Cut a knuckle of veal in
pieces; putin a kettle and cover with
cold water; boil gently for two hours,
then add an onion, six pepper cones, a
dozen cloves, half a teaspoonful of ground
allspice, and a blade of mace, with pepper
salt, and simmer one hour longer,

pick liquor to pieces and put in a mold. Boil
the down, stiain and add a teacup
of vinegar; pour it over the meat and let

turn out and slice very thin, and eat
with bread and butter.
Pressed Chicken—Take a large, well
grown chicken (an old one will answer);
pluck and singe; put in kettle with cold
water to cover; place over a moderate
fire and simmer gently for two or three
hours, or until the meat falls off the
bones. When done pick to pieces; put
the bones and skin back in the kettle
and boil until the liquor is reduced one
half; then strain and season with salt
and pepper; mix with the chicken; pour
the whole in a square mold and stand
aside over night. When hard and cold
turn out and slice thin.
The Volapuk Craze.
Carl Vogt, the German Richard Proc¬
tor, ridicules the Volapuk mania, an.d
predicts that the boom of the “universal
language” will collapse at its first at¬
tempt to compete with the advantages of
a time tested world speech, like English
and Spanish. “Parson Schlever,” says
the all-round scientist, “commits the
mistake of the Chinese alphabet makers,
who hoped to simplify writing by mak
ing a single character represent a whole
word, but forgot that the studen s of
the absurd method had to memorize
twenty-two thousand numbers, instead
of two dozen.” Lof, for instance, means
“to love,” shortening by German equiva¬
lent (“lieben”) just one half. But the
idea of changing the word eight times to
express the amatory affection of male,
already female, single* and plural persons, seems
poor policy, and the absurdity
becomes glaring if we are asked to
memorize seventy-two' variations to in¬
dicate the past, present and future emo¬
tions of all sorts of he and she lovers.
An architect might as well try to simplify
house building by getting brick makers
to consolidate a cart load of bricks into
a single the block. And the unwieldliness
of preposterous conglomerate is even
exceeded by its want of euphony. Wit¬
ness such words as “peglumoel,”
“loefols,” and “aelofobo,” the useoi half
a dozen anything but international
vated German diphthongs being well all aggra¬ words
by the rule to accentuate
on the last syllable. — Yankee Blade.

follows to the London Daily Telegraph:
“I especially have a pleasant remembrance
of the ship’s doctor—a very experienced mari¬
time medico indeed, who tended me most kind¬
ly during a horrible spell of bronchitis and
spasmodic asthma, provoked by the sea fog
which had swooped down on us just after we
left San Francisco. But the doctor’s prescrip¬
tions and the increasing warmth of the tem¬
perature as we neared the Tropics, and in par¬
ticular, a couple of Allcock’s Porous Plas
sers clapped on—one on the chest and another
between the shoulder blades—soon set me
