Minced salt Mackerel.

This is a nice way Of using pieces
of mackerel left from a previous
meal: Free the fish from skin and
bones and mince fine. Make cream
sauce of two tablespoonfuls each or
flour and butter. When bubbling add
cupful of thin cream. cook until
smooth and thick. season with a lit
tie onion juice and salt If needed.
Place the fish in the sauce until
heated. Serve in mashed potato nests
sprinkled with chopped parsley.

In the canninu Season.


Look up the choice recipes that you
were anxious to try, make a list Of
them, then in the stress of the sum
mer work, important things win not
be forgotten. This Is the month for

cook who was an artist in canning
peaches always prepared them the
night before and let them stand Gov

had richness no other method gave.
Can as usual. Here is q recipe which
many may like to try while the cucum.
bers are in their prime:
Cucumber catsup.
Choose fresh green cucumbers Of
the size and quality used for slicIng.
Reject those that are ct all bitter peel
and CRATE them. Put into bag and
drain them. or sieve may be used.
To every quart of pulp add half cup
full of grated horesradish and half a
cupful of grated onions, two table
spoonfuls of sugar, one tablespoonful
Of white pepper and two Tablespoons
fuls of salt. Add quart of cold cider
vinegar and seal In air tight jars.
Plum catsup.
Boil the plums with as little water
as possible until soft; rub through
colander and to every i've pounds Of
pulp, add two and half pounds Of
sugar. cupful of cider vinegar and
level tablespoonful each OF cinnamon
and cloves. Cook half an hour, stir
ring steadily. and seal boiling hot.
This is especially fine with beef. veal
or ham.
To Pickle Plums.
Gather green plums before they be-
gin to turn: make pickle Of mustard
seed and salt with vinegar enough to
cover the fruit. Boil and pour over
the plums three mornings in success
sion. They may be used in place Of
olives.
Grape catsup is prepared the same
as plum catsup and is a choice relish
to serve with ham. venison or any
game.

rapids make a spectacle second in in
tereSt and beauty only to the falls.
One Of the best descriptions OF the
whirlpool rapids. through which the
contestants in the coming race are
asked to pass. is that by william Dean
Howells:
The impression OF force is over
whelming The surges did not look
like the gigantic ripples on a rivers
course. as they were, but like a pro-
cession OF ocean pillows. They rose
aloft in vast bulks OF clear green and
broke heavily into foam at the crest

maniacal patience"
The conditions Of the coming contest
call for a passage by a motorboat from
q point near the Canadian landing Of
the Maid Of the Mist (the little steam
er which takes tourists into the face Of
the American and Canadian falls),
down to and around a turn about half
a mile below Queenston dock, thence
to Pitts dock at Lewiston Thus the
boats will have to pass under the ia
nous suspension bridge. through the
whirlpool rapids and the great whirI-
pool itself One OF the boats which
will attempt the feat is the Rabbits
Foot shown in the illustration.
One motorboat authority, deprecating
the idea Of so perilous a contest, de-
clared that he, with others, had lent
and would lend no countenance 10 the
affair. asserting his belief that 1t was
not a proper test Of motorboat, no
matter how strongly built. to subject
1t TO the strain of passing through the
widest stretch Of water on earth"
While this opinion Is sustained by
many authorities on motorboets and
their capacity. the promoters OF the
contest, among whom Is the proprietor
Of INCORPORATING magazine OF Cleve-
land. o.. assert their belief that the
passage Of the whirlpool rapids will
give an Incompatible opportunity OF
demonstrating that power boats are
not merely toys and pleasure craft de-
signed for calm waters, but vessels
capable Of the toughest service.
