FONTS In Cooking Fish.

The first thing to learn about fish
cooking is that an underdone fish Is a
fish ruined-an offense to the palate,
an indictment against the cook. The
second thing to bear in mind is, that
the simplest methods give the most
enjoyable results. Elaborate fish dish
es we may well save for formal en-
tertaining for our social enemies (cr1t-
ics) to dazzle the eye and excite envy
Of skill; reserying for the home table
for our intimates and the gustatory
wise among our guests the perfection
of simple broils, etc.
Never bone" fish, as by such mu-
tilation of the tissues the natural
juices are lost, leaving the flesh dry
and fiavorless. Boning is quite COM
monty practiced, but never by cooks
who are fitted by instinct and by the
best intelligence for the duties OF their
Office. How to clean and treat the
many varieties Of fish preliminary to
cooking, may not here be entered into,
space forbidding, and instruction from
ones dealer or butcher is therefore ur-
gently recommended.-Ella Morris
Kretschman, in Good Housekeeping.

Savory Poached Eggs.

Break an egg very carefully into a
coffee cup and sprinkle it lightly with
salt and pepper. Have ready small
stewpan containing some boiling beef
tea which has been nicely seasoned;
carefully slip the egg into the pan
and poach it in the usual way. When
it is done place it on rather thick
round of buttered toast; thicken
small quantity of beef tea quickly with
little corn -four and pour 1t over
the egg. Another way Of serving
poached egg is as follows:
Break new laid egg into.a buttered
teacup, season it with salt and pepper
and place the cup in the stewpan con-
tanning sufficient boiling water to reach
to rather more than half way up the
cup; as soon as the egg is set turn it
carefully on to piece of hot buttered
toast. During the time the egg is
cooking boil a small quantity Of cream
in a saucepan, season it with little
celery salt and pepper and add tea
spoonful of chopped parsley to it; pour
the cream over the egg and serve at
once

Caught q Queer Fish.

A curious fish, which is said to be
unknown in these waters, was captured
by Foreman Henry Wagner at the Co.
lumbar Iron works. The fish was
seen swimming in the dock and its Pc
culiar motions attracted the attention
of the foreman, who lost no time in
catching 1t. The fish is about IL inches
long and of dark grayish color. The
mouth strongly resembles that of a
shark and on it's head is small bump
which some of the watermen at the
works declare is the bump Of knowl-
edge"
On either side of the fish are two
wings, one large and the other small,
which were seen opening and shutting
like fan while the fish was in the
water. Below the wings are four legs
on either side. resembling those Of
crawfsh. On the back are large fins,
tapering toward the tail. The fish was
Immediately placed in a glass jar filled
with alcohol, and was attentively ex-
amined by a number of men at the
works, who had followed the water all
their lives, but had never seen any
thing like it-Baltimore Sun.

English Cycling Industry in Bad Way.

The cycling industry Of England Is
at present in a critical condition. The
majority of the companies have not
paid any dividends during the past
year, and the outlook portends worse
business in the future 1t is estimat-
ed that no less than s100,000000 are
sunk in the cycle industry in England.
During the past four years no less than
fifty companies aggregating a capital
of s25,O00,000 have disappeared. The
main reason for this crisis is over
capitalization, combined with reckless,
dishonest trading, while the cycle, al
though a popular means of locomotion,
is being rapidly supplanted by
the motor car. The cycle firms
at present in a fiourishing con-
dition make this industry only rami-
fication of an extensive business. so
that any loss incurred by cycle manu-
facture is compensated by the financial
success OF other specialties.
