keep under the pickle, after taking out
the head. The small head to kit is
the one to remove If the pickle should
get below the fish, fill up with more

Be sure that the mackerel are kept I'M

place in which you have no fire and an
even temperature, is the best place to
keep them, also all kinds Of picked fish
For boiling, soak "a hours for broil-

avoid the unpleasant taste which many
persons experience, of the rising up in
the throat after eating, skin the mack

substance will be found, which adheres
to the skin, and which contains this
strong taste. --E

Work Remaining Undonc.
The work OF raising the Upland, which has been
doing such valuable blockading duty during the
past weeks in the river bottom, front OF the
dry dock gate at the Navy Yard, was commenced
yesterday forenoon. The dredge boat Atlantic,
under the superintendent OF Engineer r. G.
Packard proceeded to get up the coal, which it
raised at the rate OF about two tons an hour.
The operation was viewed by the Dors with facial
expressions OF delight, and it awoke anticipations
OF early release from their hated position in the
dock. 1t is expected that the coal will all be up in
the course Of ten days, and that the barge can be
raised without injury to the Upland. The dredgers
worked away with q will yesterday and did SO to
the following improvised refrain which the Span
