lighted his cigar and sat down to his

Mrs. Bowser dared to say:
''The boys on the street were having
a SNOWFALL fight today, and one of them
broke our window"

On other occasions Mr.. Bowser would
have jumped a foot high and vowed by
the great horn spoon that he would
hunt that boy to his tomb and sue his
father fourteen times over. but he new

a,1oW TO PLANK sHAD.

\
lThes Proper away to Prepare This
SavOry Dish.
There is no srecord when planked
shad.was first discovered. 1t was prob
ably. one Of those cases where necessity
was the mother of Invention, and that
itSwas in use before Columbus landed
in america is. established by the fact
that mention is made of the Indians
Cooking the fish upon logs on the
banks of the river says the Brooklyn
Eagle. They had no broilers or frying
pans, and since they could not eat raw
shad it is a self evident proposition
they must have cooked it upon logs be-
fore the fire, for the oily nature of the
shad would have burned and smoked
If it was suspended over the fire. 1t is
fair, then, to argue that planked shad
was the first way shad was cooked,
and ii is now becoming the most sensi-
BILE, easiest and best way to prepare
the, fish for the table.
There are many who have never
tried it, however, and suppose planked
shad must be prepared before the fire,
as the old timers used to- do. The eX-
PLANTATION of the process and the why
of it is as follows: In all woods there
is an acid, which can be recovered by
distillation or heat, different woods
different acids, in the same class OF
woods, as oak, different acids; this
difference is the cause of the different
kind of apples, and yet they all grow
on apple trees. The cause is in the
acid that is in the wood. After trial
of all kinds of wood, white oak grown
on the hummocks of southern Florida
has been found to contain the acid of
just the right kind, a pyroligneous acid
that, uniting with the oil of the shad,
makes a gas that imparts to the fish
luscious, sweet and pleasing flavor.
The, plank is made about II inches
wide, 16 inches long and , inches thick,
well battered on the ends to prevent
checking, for wood is not expected to
stand fire and heat and lasts only
limited time in this service.
The plank should be heated and the
top lightly buttered lido not use bacon
or salt pork. for it counteracts the deli
cate flavor, the shad split down the
back and laid upon the plank skin side
down, the roes being placed in their
naturak position, one on each side,
slight spread of butter over the shad
and roes and n sprinkling of salt and
pepper. The whole should be placed in
hot oven. In from thirty to forty-tive
minutes, according to the size of the
shad, it will be cooked. The whole
plank and shad should be brought on
the table.
