in boiling any kind of fish salt
should be put in the water, and if salt
sea water can be had they are of even
better flavor. After the water has come
to boil allow it to simmer and take
the scum from the water as fast as it
rises. Another way is to soak the fish
in salt and water for five or ten min
utes before boiling. By this method
salt need not be put in the water, and
there is, consequently, not so much
scum on the water. The fish should be
about half covered by the water, and
when it boils cover with a lid and leave
it to simmer. 1t will be frmer and of
much better flavor than if it is drowned
in water.-Boston Budget.

Of meat from the carcasses of pair of

duced to one pint. Chop the meat fine,
wet with the gravy. if any, and one
third as much bread crumbs or cold
boiled rice, season to taste and mix
with beaten egg. If there was no
giblet gravy left from the day before
use any kind of stock or gravy, failing
any of there, cream or milk to moisten
the crumbs and meat. Make thin
batter with two eggs, a gill of milk and
prepared -four and having made up the
mince into tiny balls, dip them in the
batter and fry in boiling dripping.
