FISH FOR THE TABLE
ITS PROPER SELECTION, COOK
ING AND SERVING.
Almost lnnumerabIe Are the Ways II
Which They May Be Prepared
Either Broied or PIanked
They Are Delicious.

In 1851 Miss Beecher wrote: "In
selecting fish take those that are
firm and thick, having stiff fms, thick
scales, the gills bright red and the
eyes prominent and full. When fish
are long out of water they grow soft.
and fms bend easily, the scales are
dull and soft, the gills grow dark and
the eyes sink and shrink away. They
should be dressed as soon as caught.
sprinkled with salt and cooked the
same day"
AT Saturdays remarkable market
was heard: Fish at five cents a
pound Is surely remarkable bless.
Ing without any disguise, hut how do
you cook fish,"
Well, they can be fried, broiled.
baked with stuffing, crimped. faxed
and in balls, and soSsf1es and creamed
and an occasional chowder.
One thing the cookery books direct
you to do Is. ITO put the fish into as
much or more water as will cover
them. We never drown ours, for too
much water is bad. If you want to
boil the fish little more water than
will half cover is sufficient Keep the
lid OF the saucepan we'll down and
simmer gently, it eats much richer
and has finer flavor than the book
way, which soddens it and takes
away the fine firmness we prize.
And how shall l tell when it is
done?' was the next query. When
the f1let. or thick part next to the
backbone, can be easily drawn away
from the bone with knife.
Steamed fish is firmer and finer
than fish baked or boiled. The MAX
ing of filets and the baking of fish
requires more care in the cookery and
richer ingredients that is usually
given to fish cookery in the home.
and the excellence of these dishes
depends upon the sauces after all
One fish dish we think well of is
made with mushrooms and sweet
peppers, quantity of melted butter
and some lemon juice The fish may
be broiled or planked and then gar
nished; the long chill peppers are
more slightly than the large sweet
peppers. Cold fish faxed and mixed
with salad dressing and trimmed with
capers and served on a bed of crisp
lettuce always pleases. For season
ing, lemon juice is always popular,
and vinegar, either tarragon or the
ordinary sort, is acceptable.
salt is the stuff that spoiled the
fish when you did not put any on, "
so salt the fish when starting it to
cook and serve celery salt and pap
rika with it at the table.-Henrietta

Madison.-Since the establishment
of the State Hospital for the Insane

escapes of patients. In the official
reports they are said to have
''eloped." At the Northern hospital
there were sixty-nine "elopments"
since the opening of the institution
in 1878, total OF 167 in the two
state hospitals. In nearly every case
the patients were captured. There
has not been an escape from the
state prison at Waupun in fifteen
years, when Frank McHue broke out
At the state industrial schools, where
the inmates are given the freedom
of the grounds under the parole prin-
ciple, escapes have often been at

followed.
Kenosha.- Out in the little village
of New Munster, west of Kenosha.

TOO RICH FOR HIS TABLE
Despite High Position, Washington
Seems to Have Had Remarkable
Sense of Frugality.

Early in George Washington's
school days his master gave him a
book that he kept all his life. 1t was
entitled the Youths Companion"
and Il contained receipts, directions
for conduct and manners, how TO
write letters" and-what most pleased
the methods for surveying land
BY Gunter's rule. and all manner cf
problems in arithmetic aud mathe-
mates, as well as methods of writ
ing deeds and conveyances."
Washington was then about four
teen years old, but young though he
was. the practical side of his nature
was awakened by the book. which es-
tahlished the habit OF doing things
systematically and economically. for
which he was generally respected
and sometimes laughed at

Troops Act as Escort.
Frederick's body was conveyed from
the Hamburg Hof hotel to the railway
station with full military honors. A
company of the Seventh Imperial Ger
man infantry had been provided for
an escort and the soldiers were accom-
panied by the regimental band. The
troops carried cased colors Of the
regiment in honor of the dead. The
streets were lined with solid masses
of humanity. Many stood with bowed
| heads as the cortege passed.
Flags upon all the buildings In the
city were at half-mast.
The kings body had been inclosed
in coffin of steel and oak, in keeping
with the simplicity of his life.
King Frederick VIII, accompanied
by Queen Louise and their aides and
attendants, was on his way to the Ri
veria, where physicians had advised
him to go to recuperate from the eff
fects of a severe attack of influenza
and incipient pneumonia, of which he
was recently the victim.
A long motor ride through the damp
air is believed to have brought on re-
lapse, and his insistence on walking
through the streets in the chill night
air. despite the entreaties of his at
tendants, is thought to have aggra-
waited his condition
Queen Louise Hysterical.
When Queen Louise was informed
that the body of a man of rank, richly
dressed, had been found near the wa
ter front she became hysterical and,
with a strange premonition of evil, de-
clared that it was the king. No de-
scription of the body had been given
and members of the suite ridiculed the
idea that the body found almost at the
entrance of the docks was that of
+ their sovereign.
The body had been carried to pub
lie hospital ward, and after life was
declared extinct search revealed doc
uments identifying it as that OF Count
Kronberg. This, although the local
authorities did not know it, was one of
the kings titles and was adopted by
him as an incognito.
The instant that the queen entered
the barely furnished ard she recog-
nized the corpse as that of her hus-
band, and in a paroxysm OF grief
threw herself across the cot on whfch
the body lay
Physicians fastened to her side and
she was led, sobbing, from the room.
Restoratives were applied and when
she became more calm she ordered
that the body be removed to the HAM
