Fried Catfish-The catfish, hitherto
unappreciated by the public at large,
is now declared by the United States
Fish Commissioners to be the most
intellectual of the finny tribe" While
this may add nothing to it's delicacy,it
is well to let virture meet its own re-
ward. Those already familiar with its
excellences do not need to be told
that it is far and away one of the very
best of pan fishes. Its meat is crisp,
white, juicy and of superior flavor, in
ferior only to white fish and trout.
Soak in cold water for a half hour
before cooking, to draw out the blood
and any suspicion of earthly taste.
Then roll in fine Indian meal or a
mixture of meal and -four, and fry in
fat salt pork drippings or olive oil un-
til brown and crisp on the outside, and
white, delicate, and sweet within.
Serve with baked or stuffed potatoes
and cabbage and celery salad.
smelts Baked in Paper.-Select
large smelts, split up the back and re-
move the bone. Season the inside with
salt and paper, brush with olive oil,
close the fish and lay cornerwise on
squares of stiff note paper. Fold the
paper over, pinch the edges together
and lay in a buttered baking pan.
Place the pan in a hot oven and bake
twenty minutes. Serve in the cases
in which they were baked and pass
sauce tartare with them.
Roasted Smelts.-Wash and bone
large smelts and rub the inside with
salt. Make a good forcemeat by chop
ping half dozen oysters very fine and
adding to them a half cup of stale
bread crumbs, a tablespoonful of but
ter, little lemon juice, teaspoonful
of chopped parsley, the beaten yolk
of an egg, salt and paprika and enough
oyster juice to make a smooth paste.
Poun these ingredients together in a
bowl, then rub through a coarse sieve.
Stuff the fish, bake in hot oven about
ten minutes, and serve with maitre
d'hotel butter.
A variation in the forcemeat may be
made by using almost any cold fish
pounded fine and mixed with the
whites of eggs, a little cream and salt
and pepper to season. Bass makes a
specially fine forcemeat. Stuff the fish
and cover with a sauce made of a cup
of brown sauce, two onions minced
fine, a tablespoonful of minced ham, a
teaspoonful of butter, and glass of
Madeira. Basic often and serve with
the sauce and slices of lemon.

it is an Austrian glass in the shape
of an inverted lily pod.
An elaborate bronze piano electrolier
shows a Bacchante upholding grape
vine. The leaves and tendrils are in
bronze. while the green grapes are Of
Austrian glass. The fruit hangs in
clusters, and skillfully hidden in each
bunch is an electric light. When turn
ed on, the light glows softly through
the green grapes, and makes them
stand out in bas relief as naturally as
in life.
This same idea is carried out in elec-
trio light shades, which are simpler
and less expensive. Instead of glass
grapes, wax ones, which are as realis-
tic, are used. These come in red and
green. They are suspended around a
liberty silk shade to match, and clip
ped to the electric light bulb
One of the prettiest conceits in the
electrolier line was seen recently at a
luncheon. From the center of a bowl
of tulips on the table glowed as many
electric lights through the yellow
transparency The tupils We're arti-
fetal. but they looked real. both in
texture and coloring. A baby bulb
about the size of an egg was used in
side each tulip. and the effect was
charming with the yellow and white
decorations.
Drop electroliers for over the couch,
or the cosy corners are great con-
venience as are also those which can
be suspended from a hook on the wall
wherever most NEEDED. The latter can
be carried about from one room to an
other and attached where it seems
desirable.
People who live in hotels and apart
ment houses, and suffer from lights so
high that they can scarcely see to read
by them will appreciate the electrolier
fixtures, which need not be left behind,
but can be packed away in the trunk
when migrating to new quarters.

The Indian solution OF the Mother
fn-Law Problem.

From Everybody's Magazine.
The one great worry Of a Hindu
woman's life may be an aged bore of
a mother-in-law. 1t is amusing to
find that the mother-in-law Is really
one of the seven jokes of the world
She is found everywhere, even in most
ancient Sanscrit and Arabic literature.
The Mohammedan says: THE best of
rnothers-in-law is like a large boil;
while the subtle Hindu declares:
However good a mother-in-law may
be- she is nevertheless a nother-in-
law" With certain sects Of Vaisnna-
vite Brahmins the daughter-in-law,
though living in the same house, is not
allowed to speak to her husbands
mother. This is the only way to solve
the problem. When she has anything
to communicate she does 1t by signs.
When orders are given she replies only
by an inclination of the head. 1t Is
said. however, that at times she makes
I'M for her enforced silence by spirited
and expressive gestures, and that her
dumb repartees often cause her moth
er-in-law to boil with rage; and that
we NAV expect much when the Hindu
woman steps over the footlights. Bibi
knows az this; but in time she VIII be-
come q. nother-in-law herself.

HOW TO SELECT AND
COOK THE LENTEN FISH

changed several times during the in
terim.
Broiled Sardines.-Drain the oil
from large sardines, place in a fine
wire broiler and hold over a clear
hot fire long enough to become thor
oughly heated through, but not dried
Have in readiness finger pieces of hot
toast, lay a sardine on each, rnoisten
with some of the oil that has been
heated and place on each fish a tea
spoonful of sauce tartare. This makes
an excellent relish for a Sunday night
supper, or the 'savoury bout" which
the English use to precede the dessert.
Herring or herring roe may be used
on toast In the same way.
Fish Roes.-The most highly es-
teemed roes come from shad, but
those~froh haddock, pickerel, carp and
nackeral are all to be desired. The
preliminary treatment of all roes is
the same. Parboil ten or fifteen min
utes in boiling salted water to which
a tablespoonful of vinegar has been
added, then let them cool in the liquor
in which they were cooked. This les
sens the tendency of roes to plop and
splutter In the face of the cook. When
read to cook, wipe dry, brush over
with melted butter or olive oil, season
with salt and pepper and broil over a
clear fire. Or, split. dip in -four and
fry In hot pork fat. and serve with
lemon, cress, sauce tartare or mayon-
naise.
Baked Roes.--After parboiing and
cooling, wipe dry, brush with butter
or olive oil-preferably the latter
season with salt and pepper and lay
on a well buttered plate. Dredge with
flour, place the plate In the oven and
bake about twenty minutes, basting
frequently with equal parts OF melted
butter and hot water, seasoned with
salt and pepper. serve very hot with
maitre d-hotel butter and potatoes per-
sillade.

CHICAGO PROFESSOR OVERTURNS
THEORIES REGARDING TYPHOID

Do Not Thrive in Impure Water---Strong
Point For Chicago

Chicago, Feb. An important dis
OOvery concerning typhoid germs,

court. was announced when Professor
Edwin q. Jordan, of the biological de-
partment of the University of Cbica-

of the injunction case of the state of
Missouri against the state of Illinois
and sanitary district was resumed aft
or a delay of some weeks. Profes-
sor Jordan announced that he had dis
covered that typhoid germs will not
live above two days in sewa ge-polluted
water and will not live above ten days
in ordinary pure water.

He testified that the mere fact that
the water was polluted with sewage
was in itself positive aid to the puri-
fication of the water from typhoid
germs. The discovery. besides being

tion of the water supply of inland

THE toxic solution thrown off by the
Saprophytic organisms is sufficient to
kill all such parasitic organisms as
typhoid fever germs declared Pro
feSSor Jordan. In my experiments I
examined 1856 colonies of bacilli
which appeared in the cultures and In
only three cases did any typhoid germs
develop after two days. Those three
cases came after ten days and are
easily explained by the fact that the
germs. on being poured out of the
parchment sacks in which the infect
ed water was held. dried on the sides
of the neck and later washed out when
water was taken from them. In one
case I examined water which I had
polluted with typhoid germs to the ex-
tent of $4,000 to each cubic centimeter
and after two days every one OF these
germs had disappeared
