One of the best ways to cook black
bass, that favorite fish with SO many
people, is to broil it. You need a wire
gridron with long handle, so that you
can hold it over the Goals and not let the
edges get scorched or BACKED. Serve
with lemon sliced on the platter. When
baking whiteiish do not let it lie on the
bottom of the dripping-pan; put tir
plate under the fish in such way thai
the oil will drip off into the pan. The
fish will be less greasy and the dressing
will not absorb so much of the fat.

After keeping house a year l yer
tured to ask an old hOusekeeper wha
she used for mop, and found to m
,dismay that.it was. a question open t
much discussion. After various exper
meHtsi i find that the best material is oil
knit wrappers, cut in convenient strips
1t is best not to make the mop yer
large, as it is then so heavy when VIZ
that it is burdensome, and although 20
would get along faster you would b
more tired and very likely strain you
hands in wringing it. Have as littl
space left to mop as possible; carpC
just as much of your kitchen floor as
consistent with perfect neatness, or be
ter still, one oilcloth--it is so much MOI
easily cleaned; grease does not sink il
to it to render you desperate. The haI
py law of compensation may hold goo
here, but do not see in what way, con
mensurate with the expenditure of tim
and strength, n woman can be repaid c
have it made good to her for havin
scrubbed away so many of the hours {
her youth and middle age. There
something hopeless about it; after ev,
rything else is done there is always tn
kitchen floor to clean; it is dangerous {
dwell upon; it needs, as Mr.. Emerso
says, "all the force of an idea" to Ii
the load from off your mind.--N.
