H0tp to Cook Fish.

A fish cook gives a wee bit of advice
about the cooking Of that delicate food.
Clean your fish carefully. slit 1t low
enough so as not to have any blood
on the backbone. but do not make too
large a cut So as to spoil the look Of the
fish. The sound adheres to bone and
must be left, 80 must the hard and soft
roes: care must be taken not to break
the liver, which in most fish Is re-
placed: great care must be taken not
to break the gall. for 1t would make the
fish bitter; never fry fish In butter: fry
them In good dripping or lard; oil Is
best, but 1t Is very expensive.

Handsome Garter CTasDs.

Garter clasps are really works of art in
these days. They flash as many Jewels
as the pendant which milady wears sus-
pended from her throat. The latest
novelty is a Roman gold snake wound up
in a fiat coil, with its head thrust out in
an angry for the special purpose
of displaying the brilliancy of its dia-
mond eye. The garter to which 1t is at
tached Is a wide piece of black silk elas-
tic. A new set of silver garter clasps
are heart-shaped, framed in turquoise
The garter itself matches the color Of
the stone. The sensible woman clings
persistently to the side elastics. In COLI
oring they are as gay as her fancy die
tates, and the s~afety-pin and f%astenings
are In sterling silver.

it let down to its extreme limit. I have had ex-
fishing sloops. with five years on a pilot boat. and
