ers know how to fry fish Why will
they persist IN frying them brown or
hard and sometimes to a coal2 A. per-
son must have the delicaoy of taste of
the ostrich and Its digestive powers,
too. to eat such fearful prepai alton.
Fish, when large enough, including
rockfsh, bass. perch, trout, salmon,
etc., should invariably be boiled, If one
desires the full flavor of the fish IN It's
most delicious form, when it is highly
nutritious and Wholesome. But there
are certain hsh too moist to boil, such
as the shad, whitefish, Spanish maokereI,
etc. These should be broiled carefully,
and they are in perfection. Certain
persons think that this con be done
olly oyer hickory Goals, or on n plank.
l formerly thought SO, too. but haYe
got over this fastldiousness, after trial
upon trial, fortified by the opinions of
those who have dined with us many
times. On two occasions we had five
pound shad cooked, one by wood coals
on plank, and the other over anthra-
clte GOALS, in common range, aud no
person present was able to tell the differ
ence. 1t is oil nonsense to go to the
trouble to provide hickory Goals and
plank for shad or whiteiish, when the
an hracite Goals and common gridiron
will answer just as well. One thing
should be borne in mind, that no Dsh
should be cooked until it is ready to be
eaten. Let fish stand fifteen minutes
TO half an hour after being cooked, and
1t is literally not tit to eat, the flavor
being gone.
PAINT FOR FLooRs An economical
paint for floors is made by soaking g
ounces of good, clear joiner's glue over
night in cold water. It's dissolved and
then added (stirring constantly to
thickish milk of lime, heated t, tie
pound Of quickl:mc. Into the boiling
limo Is poured (the stirring st IL contin-
ued) as much linseed oil MS becomes uni
ted with the lime, and when the oil no
boiling point and prepared from ono lon,
ger mixes there is no more poured in. If
there happens to be too much oil added,
1t must be combined by the addition OF
some fresh lime paste. For the quanti-
ty above indicated about half pound
OF oil is required. After this white,
thicklsh foundation paint has cooled, a
color Is added which Is not affected by
lime, and In caso of need the paint is
diluted by water. For ycllowish- brown
or brownish-red shades about n fourth
pnrt of the entlro bulk is added of n
brown solution obtained by boiling
shellac and boraX with water This
mixture Is specially adapted Tor painting
iloofs, where thcro Is a rug in tho centre.
For floor which IS i'll constant use. tho
most durable paint is that composed OF
hnseed oil varnish. which penetrates
into tho wood and makes it water. resist
ing, Its properties being thus of Il nature
to compensate for It's hiaher cost.
CuEEsE FRlTrERs.- Take three ounces
or thrce tablospoonfuls of flour. one

LINES FOR DIrHrnERIA IA promin-
cnt physician of California has fouud
the Juice OF lines II most valuable remo-
dy for diptheria. His mode of APPLYING
IL rs follows: AS soon ns l take charge
OF n case OF dlpthora, l order lines to
DO administered rs freely as possible.
IN any mannor tho patient can DO pre-.
vailed upon to take them, especially in
tho form of hot lemonade. swectencd
with sugar or honey, or cut in slices
with powdered whlto sugar. Besides
limc-juice (Which L suppose acts by
lmpartlng IN excess Of oAygen TO the
circulation, and thereby prevents for
nation OF vibriones, etc., and so has
aimost SPECIFIC effect on the discase), L
prescribe whatever drug may be indica-
ted TO relieve symptoms as they develop,
and lmpart strength by appropriate
stimulants and nourishmout.
a New VARIETY OF CAKE.-Bakc in II
largo tin one cake which, when risen
and baked, shall be not moro than two
inches deep. Take from the tin care
fully, and frost thickly over tho top
with boiled frosting in which, directly
alter taking it from the stove, you have
stirred English walnut meats. Chop
tho meats not SO fine, however, that
they may not be readily distinguished.
Cut IN pieces about two inches wido
and four long. For tho cake itself use
any good whito cnko receipt. Flnyor
with lemon or vanilla.
EVENING ADJUSTMENTS To apparent-
ly burn water, ill IL glass lamp with
water, and put into it tor wick piece
OF gum-camphor. The lamp should not
be quite full, and the camphor may bo
left to float upon the surface of the wa
ter. On touching q lighted match TO
tho camphor, 1t shoots upa Clear, steady
lame, and seems to sink below the sur
face OF the water, SO that the flame is
surrounded by tho liquid. It will bur,,
Tor long time. If tho camphor be
ignitcd In largo dish of water. it will
commonly float about whilo it burns,
COFFEE FOR PLANTS "A lady of San
Francisco lato)y received somo plants
from Mexico, and with the plants came
the advice to fertillze them with wast,
coffee grounds. This was done, and tho
results were so satisfactory that the
