To Dress Fish. Pish must be put into cold or boiling Plaice, Water according haddocks to its firmness of flesh. and other soft fleshed 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 is boiling. Fish is cooked enough when it leaves the bone easily.

One of the most important articles of kitchen furniture is the refrigerator. Every housekeeper must have one aiSi in a very short time its cost can be saved. in Some keeping housekeepers their refrigerators experience trouble sweet and clean : A practical housekeeper recently told a reporter for the New York Mail and Express how she kept her refrigerator clean; She said she always selected a cool is low. day for this work, and when the ice All the articles of food are taken out and placed in a cool place, and the ice is wrapped in a woolen cloth. She then takes out the chambers, shelves and ice rack and washes them thoroughly with soap and water—a little ammonia in the water will soften it. The shelves and rack must be well wiped dry, and then it is a good thing to place them in the open air. Wash the inside of the refrigerator well with ammonia and water, the crevices. using a Wipe pointed stick to go into every part well with a dry cloth and leave all the doors and lids open until the inside is perfectly dry. Vinegar and water will take any stains off the zinc. To keep a re¬ frigerator sweet, food that has the least tendency to spoil should not be placed in it. Take care that the inside is well aired and thoroughly dry before re¬ placing the shelves and racks and put¬ ting back the ice. Never put anything warm injure into the sensitive refrigerator, it is of sure to some article food. Don’t let the refrigerator be without ice. Keep it in a cool place away from fire and sun. 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 mashed of a hard-boiled egg; mix well together, Butter the bread; spiead with prepared meat and roll up tightly. Potted Ham Cut some slices from a cold boiled ham; mince very fine, and to every d pound f of lean meat allow half a £° u “ ° P° and all together in a 3 Z hne l )a ste > Squally adding . podded mace, m n all the ingredients well mixed. Put away in small jars, and spread on buttered bread when wanted for lunch. 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, Take out the meat, remove the banes, pick liquor to pieces and put in a mold.

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.

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 right.” betting Matt Quay.in connection $109,000, with a syndicate, won on election. “Give Him $3, and Let Him Guess.” We once heard a man complain ailed him. of feeling A hu¬ badly, and wondered what morous friend said: “Give cutting, a doctor satire $2, and let him guess. ’ It was a right. on some You doctors, who don’t always guess food need not guess what ails you when your don’t digest, when your bowels and stomach are inactive, and when languid your head aches fatigued. every day, and you are and easily Pleasant You are bilious, and Dr. Pierce’s Purgative Pellets will bring you out aU right.
