soil or of leached wood-ashes.

in buying Paris green to destroy
the potato beetle and other insects, buy
that which is heaviest and honestly sells
at the highest price, The great demand
has led to much adulteration with high
er and more soluble poisOns, which are
less safe to use. London purple, which
many regard as equally effective, is
much cheaper and more bulky, and
hence is not so likely to be adulterated
as Paris green.
One of the best ways to cook black
bass, that favorite fish with so many
people, is to broil it. You need wire
gridiron 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 a whitefsh do not let it lie on the
bottom of the dripping-pan; put tin
plate under the fish in such a way that
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.

ripe and soft peaches, leaving whole.
Arrange closely together in the bottom
of buttefed baking dish. Make a

very light, ten teaspoonfuls of sifted
flour, a tablespoonful of melted butter, a
little salt and two teaspoonfuls of baking
powder sifted with the flour. Bake in a
quick oven and eat hot with cream and
sugar or hard or liquid sauce. Straw
berries, cherries, raspberries, or black
berries may be substituted for the
peaches.
