FILLETs OF BLACK BASS

Black bass is now in season, from June
lst until January. 1t is one of the choic-
est of fresh water fish, and simple way
of cooking it is in tillets. A fish weigh
ing a pound and a half will give hand
some fillets. Let it be carefully cleaned
and skinned. Cut off the head and
flanks, and remove the solid meat from
the bone. in one piece on each side. Sea-
son these fillets generously with salt and
pepper and bread them. Lay them in
a frying basket and immerse in boiling
fat, hot enough to brown bread instantly.
Let them cook for three minutes. Lift
them out, drain in the basket, and lay
them OH coarse brown paper, to absorb
any surplus fat. Serve the fish with
tartare sauce. Break the yolks of two
perfectly fresh eggs into an ice cold bowl.
Add tablespoonful of mustard, tea
spoonful of sugar, salt spoonful of pep
per, one teaspoonful of salt and one of
onion juice. Add finally, drop by drop,
half cupfull Of oil. The mixture should
be as thick as whipped cream when the
oil is all in. Then stir in three table,
spoonfuls of strong table vinegar, one
tablespoonful of chopped capers and one
of chopped cucumber pickles. While the
oil is being added the bowl should stand
on cracked ice. This is delicious sauce
to serve with any fried or boiled fish or
with fried chicken.
Striped bass, halibut or founders, usu-
ally called at first-class restaurants "sole"
may be cooked and served in this way.

BIG COST TO COUNTRY

The effect of the county finances of the
operation OF the capitation tax law is
shown in figures furnished by President
Philemma Chandler, of the Levy Court.
In the four years in which John P. Dona-
hoe and Lewis Dickey were the collectors,
MIR. Chandler estimated that the comfy
paid in salaries and for the necessary
books, $4,000; whereas the collections
amounted to $139.
In the past two years, when John W..
Mccoy and saac S. Bullock were the COL
lectors, they received $4,000 in salaries
and the cost of the books was about S2,-
500 total of $500; the collections
wee less than 500.
In Mr.. Chandler's view the places were
originally created for political purposes.
Voters object to paying the capitation tax
besides the registration fee required for
voting, and since those failing to do SO
were not arrested and compelled to pay
in times past. President Chandler thinks
it later late to start new. He believes
the taxpayers will agree with the wisdom
OF allowing the law to become a dead let
ter.

USEFUL THINGS TO KNOW

A box of unslacked lime kept in the
cellar or in pantries will prove sweeten-
ing to the atmosphere, absorbing all i'm
purities. This should be renewed at least
once in ten days.
Refuse cans should be thoroughly
cleansed, especially in warm weather,
every time they are emptied, with diluted
carbolic acid or chloride of lime.
Calar windows should be left open at
night and closed in the daytime during
the summer months. The hot outer air
combining with the damp or cold atmos-
phere of the cellar will produce moisture
conducive to rust.
If in hammering nail you by mis-
take hit your finger or thumb, hold the
injured member in water as hot as you
can bear for few minutes. This draws
out the Inflammation and relieves the
pain in wonderful way.
If new tinware is rubbed over with
fresh lard, then thoroughly heated in
the oven before it is used, it will never
rust afterward, no matter how much it
is put into water. If the teapot or coffee
pot is discolored on the inside, boil it for
a short time in strong solution Of borax,
and all its brightness will return.
Where walls and ceiling have be.
come discolored from smoke, wash off
well with a solution of alum and water
before kaIsomining. This is APPLICABLE
for removing smoke or SCOT discolorations
from lamps also.
Grass stains will be removed by rub
bing kerosene or alcohol we'll into the
spot before putting the article in the
wash.
Borax or small broken bits of licorice
sprinkled on shelves will Danish ants.
Turpentine is the only satisfactory
medium for separating any article from
sticky fly paper.
Fresh cut flowers will always last longer
if the stems be cut off little each day
when renewing the water, to which lit.
tie salt or few drops of ammonia may
be added. Fading leaves or flowers
should always be removed speedily.
Never allow cut flowers to stand in the
sun.
To clean glass decanter, put into it a
few Jumps of soda and spoonful of vine-
gar. Shake well, but leave the top open,
or the decanter may burst. Rinse with
clear water and turn down to drain.
A little ammonia slightly diluted makes
a capital cleanser for greasy coat collar.
Velvet collars may be treated in the
same way, and the pile raised by hold
ing close to hot iron as soon as the
cleansing operation is completed.
Six drops of olive oil rubbed into the
throat and under part of the chin is
treatment recommended by some to stave
off those first throat and chin wrinkles
that all women dread 60 much. Stroke
the oil in firmly but gently, using the
tips of the fingers. The next morning,
wash off with hot water, but no soap.
If every third night is found to keep the
skin greasy, make it every fourth or fifth
night.
