Fish as Food.

Fish has been a favorite food of man.
kind since the remotest periods of
history. About the earliest records. how
ever. which go into any detail as TO the
value of fish as food and AS to the proper
cooking thereof pertain to the period Of
Athens supremancy. That city was pre-
eminently one of fish eaters. Its cooks
were famous for their knowledge Of the
hest modes Of preparing fish for table.
Writers Of that day have left US many
recipes for preserving fish in salt, oil or
herbs An Athenian law provided a pen
atty for the fishmonger who sat down be-
fore he had disposed OF all his stock The
reason assigned for this curious decree
was that standing position made the
vender more submissive and less inclined
to sell at an unreasonable price
The Romans. too. were very fond. Of
fish. In the rations Of Rome's soldiers
and even on the bill Of fare Of its ssn-
erals fish figured largely Senators veee
epicures in fish. and emperors exercised
their ingenuity in devising new means
for the cooking Of fish:
That famous epicure, Lucullus, caused
a canal to be cut through a mountain
near Naples for the sole purpose of bring
ing up the sea and its fishes to the very
center of the gardens of hts magnificent
villa. In those DAYS the red nullet waA
held to be the best of all deIfcacies. A
sauce called sarum. derived from the en-
trails and blood of mackerei and other
fishes. brought high prices. and ,prt1es
were offered for a similar sauce to be
made out of the liver of the red rnullet.
In more modern times certain fish have
been given q royal standing. During the
reign of Edward II. in England. sturgeon

enemies leaving in the rescued boats.
Had he delayed them long enough:
AS matters stood, he could not carry
away the treasure. He must have help,
an armed force of men he could trust.
On the mainland were Ahmed and the
loyal keepers; behind were three men
who wanted his life as he wanted
theirs. The only hope he had lay in
the cupidity of the men on the sloop.
If they could be made to stand by him,
there was fair chance. Once he was
of a mind to heave the basket over the
rail and trust to luck in finding it
again. But the thought tore at his
heart. He simply could not do it..
Perhaps he could start revolt, or
win over the chief of the village. He
had known honest men to fall at the
sight of much gold. to fight for it, to
commit any crime for it-and. if need
be, to die for it. But the chief was
with his enemies. Finally he came to
the conclusion that the only thing to
be done was to carry the treasure di-
rectIy into the chiefs hut and there
await him. He would bribe the men
with him sufficiently to close their
mouths If Ahmed was on the shore,
the game was up. But he swept the
mainland with his gaze and discovered
no sign of him.
