The individual fish planks are not
so practical as the large ones. The
large plank has everything to COM
mend 1t. and ii is surprising that 1t
has not come into more general use.
1t is. however, better known than it
was. AS yet, though, it is confined
almost entirely to families familiar
with camp life, with fashionable res
taurants, or which have trained chefs.
Shad. cooked in this way, is at it's
best. as are white fish and others sim
liar to it. Roe shad should be selected.
The fish is arranged as described
above. with the roes at each side.
After the whole is brushed with butter
and placed in a hot oven, from thirty
to forty-f1ve minutes will be wanted
for the cooking. according to the fish.
In many families where the plank is
an old story the fish is removed from
the plank to a hot platter before it is
sent to the table. But the old way of
to commend it.
Roasted Fish.-For the first outdoor
spring banquet prepared over an open

cleaned, but not split open. Roll it

the skin will come with it-and there
will be found white, fiaky flesh with a
flavor fit for the gods. This is the
way John Burroughs, the naturalist,
prepares the first course of the meal
which he provides for Vassar girls and
other fortunate visitors to his summer
study, "Slabsides." The fish is cooked
under the Goals in the big fireplace
which he built himself.
In book on old New England life
the writer recalls with delight pig
killing" days, when the pigs tails were
turned over to the children to be
treated in their own way. This was
to wrap them up tight in coarse brown
paper and bury them under the Goals
of the fireplace until they were thor
oughly cooked. Roast pork, with
every accompaniment known to the
epicure, could never hold a candle
to this primitive cookery of my child
hood days" says the writer. For the

WAR WITH ENGLAND.
It Is Looked Upon as Probable at
Russian Capital.

Paris, Feb. 19.-The Figaro this morn
ing publishes a telegram said to be
from a high Russian official and sent
from the frontier, saying that Won
Schenk, the commander of the Emperor
Alexander regiment of the German
guards, of which the car is honorary
colonel in chief, was received by the
car on Monday and handed to his
majesty an autograph letter from En-
peror William on the war in the far east
and especially on the subject of Great
Britains attitude. Continuing, the
Figaro informant says official circles in
Russia continue to count on Germany's
unreserved support, and discuss openly
the possible change of the equilibrium
of Europe which might result from the
grouping together of Russia, Germany
and France, taken in connection with
the anti-British feeling.
This increasing possibility of war
with Great Britain is discussed without
reserve in Russian military circles.
Rear Admiral Rojestvenski, chief of
the general staff of the navy has said
it was impossible, according to the Rus
sian official who telegraphed to the
Figaro, to send to Port Arthur all the
naval officers who want to go there,
because they may be required in the
Baltic In conclusion this official says
the whereabouts of Viceroy A1exief
has been unknown for three days past
and that the official kilograms are re-
ceived without signatures.
