FOR THOSE FOND OF FISH.
Here Are Shown the Best Methods Of
Preparing and Serving.

Fish as food contains much the
same proportion OF nutriment as
butchers meat, only in much lighter
form. II is best to choose the kind
of fish that is in season, for II is then
more plentiful
Fish to be boiled should be put into
boiling water and cooked gently. It is
done when the fish comes readily from
the bones.
Steaming is better than boiling. and
especially for the more delicate kinds
of fish. Fish roeS take longer to cook
than the fish itself, and should. there
fore. be put on before the latter.
Always fry fish before applying bat
ter when frying, and never use In.
ferior or rancid fat.
Mackerel should never be washed
when intended for broiling. but merely
wiped clean and dry. Open at the
back, and turn well over while cook
ing. Fresh fish have the eyes bright,
the gills red, the body stif: but one
of the surest guides is the smell.

Similarity Of Lead and Steel.

Lead when reduced to very low
temperature in liquid air, is said to act
much as steel at ordinary tempera-
lures. 1t will serve as helical spring,
for example. Just as iron is soft and
inelastic at high red color, so lead
is dull and soft at ordinary tempera-
lures, for 1t is then already well on
its way to be melted.

How Tiny Creatures Live.

The microscope has opened to the
eye Of man a wonderful world Of tiny
creatures. Careful watching has dis
closed the fact that bits of life, so
small the naked eye cannot detect
them, suffer pain and experience pleas

phant. In this realm of smallness
there is a struggle for existence, the
sama as with men. =

A Cure for sciatica.

"Some years ago, while STOPPING

left hip, from which was laid up,
helpless, for over six weeks" writes
Mrs. Julius Scott, of 10s25 Columbus
Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio. ''I could
not lie on my left side, and my left
leg was swollen and became 80 much
shorter that I had to have five lifts
put on my left shoe.
EVERY winter for number of
years was laid up in this way and
suffered excruciating pain. I tried
everything and all the consolation I
got from people was that sciatica
could not be cured.
CATER trying everything else, as a
last resort I got dollar bottle of
Sloan's Liniment and was amazed
when I found that it gave me relief.
I used second bottle and the swell
ing went out of my leg and it was
only necessary for me to use a part
of the third bottle.

done wonders for me, and if you wish
to refer to me you can do so."
