THE TOOTHSOME SHAD,
How TO Plank This Delicious Fish,
Proper Way to serve.

There is no better method of cooking
Il delicate fish. such as shad or Spanish
mackcrel than that method known as
planking. The plank itself is q matter
of great Importance, not that it need be
| of one special sort of wood, for the
choice lies between cedar, oak, ash and
hickory. some authorities recommend
ing one, some another. The general
consensus of opinion seems to point
toward n white oak board about an
inch and a half in thickness. Its 9th
or dimensions should of course be out
side the limits of any fish which shall
be cooked upon it.
a new board-that Is, one that has
still wpOdsy flavor clinging to it
may not be used. Time must have
ripened it, or, i'll other words, it must
be well seasoned. Round about the
edge of the upper surface Il groove
should serve the purpose Of catching
the juices from the cooking fish. For
the first and the second and even the
third cooking the plank somehow fails
to live up to its reputation. 1t is only
when from repeated BOOKINGS the board
has become enriched with the juice
of fish that it imparts the required
flavor to the fine shad intrusted to it.
Months are none too short time to
give to this seasoning of the wood.
Once brought to the proper state, how
ever, it remains perfect for years and
years.
The fish are not only cooked upon
the plank, but served upon it as we'll.
Never wash the fish plank. Rub it
with a dry cloth and sandpaper it;
some powdered lemon rind. Soap and
water would be disastrous if applied,
for the mixture of tlavorS would be
far from good. In preparing II shad
for planking split it open, wipe it dry
and If possible remove the backbone.
Now place the fish. skin side down,
upon the plank and tack it down.
Spread the fish with butter and season
it with salt and pepper. 1t should
cook ia hot oven or before Il very
hot fire. With the gas broiler that
cooks from above it is very easy to
broil the fish, putting board and all
under the blaze and leaving it there 20
minutes. If baked, five minutes lon
ger should be allowed.
When it IS done, add some bits of
butter, little more salt and sprin-
Killing Of paprilia, one tablespoonful of
minced parsley and two tablespoonfuls
of white wine. Remove the tacks. Place
the plank on japanned tray Il few
inches larger than the board itself and
serve with the fish Il cucumber sauce.

Another Pole Hunter.

Captain Joseph G. Bernier, the
French Canadian who has announced
his intention Of seeking the north pole,
has recently been in Europe making
preliminary arrangements. He has
two plans in view. Besides thinking Of
proceeding by the route undertaken by
the Jeanette, he has also considered
the expedency of making Franz-Josef
Land his base of operations. AS yet he
las not decided which of these pro-
grammes to follow. Partial arrange
mcnts have been completed for the
construction Of a ship which in
strength and equipment is expected to
be superior to the English and German
vessels now building for antarctic ex-
p,oration.

NATURES CLAY IMAGES,

In the claybeds of the valley of the
Connecticut are found wonderful and
beautiful concretions, specimens Of
which, sent to England, excited the
interest of the Royal Society as long
ago as 1870. Mr.. J. M. Arms Sheldon,
who has written a book about them.
says that the concretions appear in
four principal types: disk-shaped, cyl
indrical, botryoidal Resembling grape
clusters), and limitations of animal
forms. The latter are the most strik-
ing, the forms initiated including
fishes, birds, ant-eaters, elephants,
dogs, babies feet and so forth. A
remarkable fact is that each clay-bed
has form of concretion peculiar to
itself and the principal types are
never found intermingled in the same
bed. The beds are composed of strait
fed. river-drift clays, or "Champlain'
Gays. $3.50
