Who stops to think about using a

one that is sharp as a razor for re-
moving the scales of bass or perch,
while perhaps the smoke from the
camp smudge is proving futile bar
rier to the myriads of mosquitoes

Behold now what skill, even art,
may be in dressing the perch. Note
that the head is firmly grasped by
the hand and how few swift, steady
sweeps have scaled the body clean.
Look at that triple line of scales just
below the gills. There the grain of
the scales shifts, and they must, for
sooth, be cleaned away by the point

Fousht a Duel with Melons.

Two men fought a duel with melons
at Bloomfield avenue and Orange
street, Bloomington, N. j., the other
afternoon in the presence Of a large
crowd, which cheered the combatants.
Frank Spaulding and Leo Kahn fought
for half an hour, and the victory was
Spalding's. The latter was passing
Kahn's store when an overripe musk
melon caught him in the back of the
neck. He looked around and saw Kahn
at one end Of stand loaded with 800
melons. Taking positions at either
end of the stand they pelted each other
until every melon was gone. At the
end neither was recognizable. Both
were badly bruised and Kahn had
Spalding arrested for assault.

how many anglers and very honest
men, really enjoy fish prepared by
either the camp cook or the guide.
All over the wilds of the country and
in lake regions where nothing is very
wild except the poison ivy there are
seekers after the pleasures of the
sport of angling. The fnny prizes
that are captured from the cold
depths of the lakes and rivers are
for the most part cooked and eaten
by the vacationers. But how many
times do the ''hewers of wood and
builders of the camp fres," to say
nothing of the cooks at the summer
resort hotels, follow the correct rules
of dressing fish for the spit or the
pan? There is a right way of pre-
pairing the fish for the table, just as

and pushed hard to the angle OF body
and fin.
s'Truly there be few of anglers and
of cooks not many VINO will thus
scale clean. Some do skin the perch,
i'll voting that the skin itself is fair
to the tooth, and in cooking holds in
the flesh, the juices. Such doth their
own folly punish
Ingenious to a degree is this happy
thought of clothing useful informa-
ton about the preparation of the fish
for cooking in the quaintness of the
style of the competent Angler" But
truly the angler who with one slant
stroke of the knife cuts away the
ventral fin, the pectoral fms and the
head often thinks that he has cut off
half of his fish. However, inspection
of the head shows that with it went
little but bone and hard cartilage.
Instead Of cutting off fat the dorsal
fin, thus leaving the sharp spines in
the flesh to be bitten into, it is we'll
to cut deep slit on each side of this
fin and draw it out with every spine
The remaining fin may also be treat
ed this way, and when you next cut
open the fish and wash it with lib
eral supply of water the toothsome
dainty is ready for the pan. Before
the fish goes to the pan it should
be scraped once very quickly to re-
move slime. By leaving on the tail

there is a correct way Of getting the
gamey fellows from their element.
How often has the city chap rowed
in after dark with his rural friend to
the country home after dark and
heard the bucolic but good-natured
caterer to summer boarders" say:
'Well, now, for fixin' the mess SO
that they viii cook up fine for break
fast?" The chances are that the big,
ruddy-cheeked fellow has never heard
of Walton, and it is safe to say that
he never looked upon series Of pic
ture plates showing the way to dress
perch, bass, pickerel, etc., for the
table. Yet he can make that mess
of perch, croppies, small bass and
young pike respond to the treatment
under his pocketknife SO well that
when in the morning the good farm
er's wife brings in heaping platter
of finely fried fish the whole crew
of summer boarders will try to eat
her out of house and home. Every
one will be surprised that the perch

to dress the fish. Without having
studied the anatomy of the fish, he
has learned how to remove the OBJ

It has remained for Clarence Dem
ing to tell readers in Outing some

about dressing fish. Adopting the

St. Paul as a Center Of
the Fine Fur Trade -
The Great Fur Houses SAVIOR of the Early
s#s#x4 Pioneer Days.
Pioneer Days.

o ENTER one of the great fur
houses of st. Paul is to feel at
once in touch with the stir
rang romance period of the west,
when pioneer history was in the
making and traffic IN peltries was the
commanding phase of commerce on
the Mighty Missouri and lesser
streams traversed BY the light-draft
stsamers the batteau, the buffalo
skin raft and the dugout of trader
and .trapper, and the shapely canoe of
the proving savage.
A crea tnre-odor greets the nostrils
makes the atmosphere of the vast es-
ADJUSTMENTS one with that of the
haunts of the shy animals which have
Z been sacrificed to clothe with wind
proof rafment the cattleman and the
farmer of the prairies, the city car
driver and teamster, and to adorn the
social belle of the metropolis with
robings that would have been coveted
by queens in the days when the
trader first began to ply his perilous
craft in the remote regions of the
Rockies and the Cascades.
There is no place within the bounds
of civilization so close to the old
pioneer days, so near to the untrod-
den wilderness of the west as are the
fur houses of ST. Paul.
The first thing which the visitor
sees on entering one of these mann
moth establishments is a mountain
of hats. Battalions of counters are
stacked almost ceiling-high, with hats
of all shapes and forms which bear
the approval of that whimsical auto
. crat, Dame Fashion. The man who
passes his hand caressingly over the
smooth, firm surface of his new hat
seldom pauses to reflect that the fine
. texture of this most conspicuous ar
ticle of his apparel is due to the fact
that into it have been compressed
thousands of hairs from the soft
coats of furbearers which have been
taken by intrepid trappers from can
yons and streams beyond the sound
OF the steam whistle and remote from
tle habitations of man. Such, how

the choice food is ''graced bit in
the dish" Every bone save back
bone and ribs has been dressed away
! quired to do this thinning" without
getting mean wounds. But happy is
the cook who can do it nicely, and of
course happy are they for whom the
fish is cooked.
Pickerel and roach-variouslyc called
the sunfsh and pumpkin seed-are
prepared for the pan as are the
perch. If a great pickerel is to be
baked the savory dish seems much
more substantial if dressed with the
head and tail on. Trout, that excel
lent eating fish, needs but opening
and washing, while the sucker, often
pronounced unfit to be eaten, has
dressed soon after capture. The thick
skin gives rise to the custom of skin
ming this fish rather than scaling it.
The ''gamesome and coy" black
bass, when small, is easily dressed in
perch fashion. When the catch is big
it should be split, and then it is pre-
pared for broiling. Use the point of
the knife well and scrape the fish's
skin well to rid it of slime What of
the bullhead? This fish is much fan
cied by the particular minority. To
dress the bullhead properly it is nee
essary to slit his skin in half moon
on the back across just below the
head, then from the middle of the
cut the knife should be drawn to the
tail, doubling the back fin. Draw we'll
down the two corners of the skin
and cutting the backbone, draw it
and the body of the fish from the
skin. Skillfully dressed, the bullhead,
like the channel catfish, has made
many fine meal for the young peo-
pie camping out near river. Thou
sands of people each year spend the
summer months in households on
American rivers, and it is dollars to
old hooks that they know how to
serve the choice white meat of the
bullhead.
Any cook book will give recipe
for frying the fish. If you are with
in reach of civilization, of course you
may use plenty of cracker crumbs or
Indian meal. But if away out ''miles
from nowhere anything in the way
of a broil or fry is good enough. You
do not need to be particular about
browning the fish in flour or meal.
Hunger is such sauce in those cir
cumstances that it brings its own
relish. Besides, the romantic fea-
lures of the camp life add so per cent.
to the flavor of the camp-cooked fish.
The accompanying illustrations show
ing the way to remove the trouble
some fins and bones are almost self
explanatory. Try your hand while
away fishing this season at tightening
the cooks load by dressing the catch.

holding bundle of precious pelts.
The expert detaches from it's hook a
bundle of sleek sable skins, and ex-
claims: 'sAren't those beauties?
Worth hundred dollars apiece and
there are so of them in the bundle!'
AS he brushes his hand caressingly
along the skin, from tail to head, re-
vealing the softer hue of the under
fur, the visitor makes quick mental
calculation which shows that one of
IT, bins contains furs valued at thou
sands of dollars-and then attempts
to count the chests in the long lines
that cut the floor into narrow aisles.
But this bit of mental arithmetic
runs into money so swiftly that it
is speedily abandoned.
Not in the chests of the big open
floor, however, are the choicest gems
OF the fur house stored. Every estab-
ishment of this kind has private
room in which are collected the rarest
fur specimens that are assembled
from the wilds of the American con
tinent. Here are the skins of the
black and the silver gray fox; the
magnificent sea otter, the sable and
other superb varieties of exquisite
texture and coloring. Only the privi-
legged guest or the patron who does
not hesitate to pay hundreds of dol
lars for tiny pelt little more than
large enough to make him a purse
is taken into the private room for a
view of the gems.
From the time a skin enters a fur
house until the garment of which it
forms a part has passed into the
hands of the wholesaler, retailer or
private patron, it's history is minute
II recorded. A ticket" showing each
process to which it is subjected and
the name of every person into whose
hands 1T passes accompanies the ..lot'''
or bundle Of furs when taken from
stock and delivered to the cutting de-
partment. The latter is separated
f-om the storage space by woven
wire partition similar to that which
divides the manufacturing from the
selling department of cigar factory.
Here the first task is that of match
ing the skins--a very delicate one by
reason Of the fact that quality and
color must both be considered in as
sembling the skins for fine gar
ment.
Then is made up the piece from
which the garment is to be cut. This
implies a problem in patchwork suf-
fcient to tax the patience Of the old

ever, is the case. While the processes
of converting the coat of an animal
into a modern hat are complicated,
they are sufficiently suggested by the
statement that the hair is literally
chewed into pulp and compressed
into forms familiar to commerce.
Expert knowledge is the keynote
of success in this traffic. Unless the
man who buys, sorts and grades the
furs is a skilled connoisseur failure
is inevitable. Almost any layman
of average intelligence can easily dis
tinguish between a skin of low quail
ity and one Of high grade; but to tell
a pelt of rare quality-a gem of its
species-and one which represents a
high standard of commercial excel

lenee, demands both a natural gift
of perception, trained eye and a
cultivated touch. When a certain
standard of quality has been passed
difference imperceptible to the UNI
schooled observer sometimes implies
difference of several hundred dol
lars in the value of a single pelt.
Therefore, upon the Judgment Of the
fur expert, who buys, sorts, puts a
valuation upon the high grade skins,
hangs a possibility scarcely less
than that which rests upon the man
who buys gems and jewels.
Most Of the buying IS done in the
