Baked Blue Fish
Slit the fish's head at the gills
and draw out the intestines, but
do not cut off the head. Rinse
thoroughly. Mix half a pint of dry
bread crumbs with a tablespoonful OF
melted butter, a dash of pepper and
some salt. Pack this into the fish and
sew the head down. Scatter bread
crumbs thickly over the fish. baste with
melted butter and pour around IT In the
pan half a cup of boiling water in
which teaspoonful of butter has been
melted. Bake about an hour, basting
every ten minutes. BE careful not to
break the fish in lifting it from the
pam At any housefurnishing shop may
be bought a long, thin paddle or knife
which comes for this purpose. Gar
nish all fish with parsley and lemon.
Serve with il mashed or creamed po-
tatoes and crisp cucumber salad.
Southern cooks use pork with baked
fsh, buying salt larding pork for the.
purpose. The pork is cut in long slen-
der strips and gashes are cut in the
fish about two inches apart, reaching
from side to side and touching the
bone. These gashes are filled in with
the pork. which gives the fish a very
rich flavor.
Boiled Oregon Salmon
This is a most palatable and attrac-
tive dish. Buy steaks two inches or
more in thickness. Wipe clean and dry,
and wrap each one in piece of cheese

increase of salary for members of the
Presidents cabinet and Congress should
respond to the effort. It is abhorrent to
the democratic ideas of this country that
all but rich men should be debarred from
serving in the cabinet because the com.
pensation offered is insufficient to permit
of poor mans accepting cabinet
place, and yet it is absolutely impossible
for member of the cabinet to live on
the IS, 900 year which cabinet position
pays. A member of the cabinet cannot
rent suitable house in Washington for
less than s., 500 year and they are hard
to find at that. Most members of the
cabinet, unless they own their houses, pay
$4,000 or $1,000 year rent, and the re-
mainder of their salaries goes for SER
wants and official entertainments which
they are bound to give, the result being
that they must practically have enough to
live on over and above their salaries.

Perhaps the most ingenious and the
most original of all schemes for pro-
curing autographs was from lady in
a western town. She was raising funds
for the building and support Of public
library, and she had conceived the idea
of issuing a volume to be called 'The
Authors Recipe Book" Authors from
all over the country, the most distin-
guished of authors-always authors
with capital A-had been good enough
to send her list of the favorite dishes
of their own construction, with their
method Of making them.
The cookbook was one Of the many
forms of literature to which the recip-
tent had never turned his attention. He
had no more idea of cooking than he
had Of milking cow or Of Harvesting
a horse or of setting hen or Of build
ing a dynamo. He did not even care
what was cooked for him SO long as 1t
contained none Of the ingredients Of
tripe and none of the essence Of toma-
to. But he was asked to contribute
paper, which she would have repro
duced in facsimile, stating what he
could prepare. most to his liking upon

COTTON IN A FABRIC.

How to Tell If Wersted or Wooden
Cloths Are Adulterated.
Worsted cloths are less often adulter-
ated than woolens and are more easily
detected. A cotton worsted is lie on
the face Of 1t, for the cotton stands out
with prominence. But often a cotton
thread is twisted with a worsted
thread, and to determine its presence
1t is only necessary to take the twist
out Of the thread and then examine its
component parts.
Cotton, having long staple, can be
carded and combed with wool to be
spun into worsted yarn. This is done
to cheaper the cost Of production. Cot
ton is carded and spun with wool and
shoddy, not so much to cheaper the
yarn, for cotton is generally as expen-
sive as some shoddies, but is intro
duced to give strength or spinning
qualities to the stock. In many cases
the shoddy is of such short staple that
1t would not stand the drawing in
spinning, and, as it would make the
cost of the yarn too high to put in
enough wool to give that lacking
strength, cotton is put in for this pur-
pose.
The percentage of cotton In a fabric
can be determined in this manner:
Take small piece of cloth and weigh
1t. Now boil 1t for five minutes in a 5
per cent solution of caustic soda. Take
out what is left. and, If any, it is all
cotton. The wool will all be dissolved.
The percentage Of shoddy cannot be de-
termined except by experience.
A cloth or yarn with shoddy in 1t is
easily detected by its feel. Cloth made
Of all new wool is softer feeling than
one containing shoddy, for the latter
has lost that new. soft. springy feel
peculiar to wool.-Amerfcan Wool and

himself of one particular and peculiar
delicacy in the evolution Of which he
could safely trust his reputation as an

Our Legislature will convene next
dnesday-January 1fth-a week
from to-day. or course. what it will
accomplish remains to be seen. Much
more is expected of 1t no doubt than
Will materia1ize. This has been true
of all Legislatures. But as there will
be a large majority of Republicans,
and as Republicans are noted for do
ing things. they can be relied upon to
do few things. Among these will
be the perfecting of the tax bills.
These viii receive attention before
anything else is attempted. Uni
4 ted States Senator is to be elected,
but fortunately this will occupy but
little time of the session, as there will
be no contest whatever and probably
not even a shadow of opposition to
Senator N. B. Scott. Probably the
thing that will require more time
than all else will be the liquor legis-
1atfon. This is to be expected owing
as to which is the better way of hand
ling the Standardization by the dispen-
sary plan or putting it into the hands
of a commission. The latter is fast
gaining popularity and it may be the
plan that will he agreed upon. The
South Carolina law makes the State
the purchaser of the liquor through
one lone agent. Many object to this,
believing our State is as deep in the
business as it should go. The COM
mission suggested. to consist of three
persons. would only have the granting
of the licenses to look after. taking
this altogether out of the hands or
county courts and municipal councils.
It looks like this will be preferred by
the lawmakers to the dispensary
plan.
