ginger and cinnamon. Wet the pudding
bag in hot water, -four il and fill half
full with the mixture, tie 1t tight close
to the top Of the bag, as the pudding
will swell. Boil five hours. Dried
whortleberries added, say two teacupsful,
or stoned raisins with four sweet apples
chopped fine are a great improvement
or, il little acid is liked, four sour ap-
pies, instead of sweet, chopped fine
would make it sufficiently tart. Serve
with cream or hard sauce.


A baked Indian pudding may be made

cup and half yellow Indian meal, one
tablespoonful, or less, Of ginger. Let it
stand and soak in the scaded milk half

Question:" Can you tell me how to
make the best fish bills?"


Answer. Receipts were given for this
dish sometime since, but we gladly give
other directions. Any fish can be picked
up free from bones that has been left
over from dinner, either fresh or salt,
boiled or baked. For fresh fish use equal
parts of potatoes, season, moisten with
little of the gravy left over, make into
neat round balls, and fry In boiling lard,
Or clarified dripping, in the same manner
and with the same care you would use
in frying doughnuts. II salt fish, pre-
pare In the same way, only use,two-thirds
potatoes. Dessicated Goldfish found great
favor until it was spoiled by mixing all
rsfus, lish together but shredd d Goldfish,
a new and entirely different rticle, after
A fair trial and getting irie Ids to
try it in their famlnts we
are prepared to pronounce per-
feet. The shredded fish is made from
the very best Georges Bank goldfish, and
Is shredded by the only process that does
not destroy the fiber or affect the flavor,
and In its preparations gives none of the
odor in cooking usually 10
troublesome. One pound of this shred
ied Goldfish is more than equal to two
pounds of fish not prepared by this pro-
cess and can be ready for the table in
fifteen minutes. We copy the directions.
For fish cakes: Wash in cold water
never in hot water) just to remove the
salt, strain through coarse cloth to free
from water, add potatoes to suit the
Taste, and fry in butter or in kettle of
aId as you would crullers.


For CREAM FISH Prepare as above.
then TO one cup of fish add two cups of
milk, one ounce of butter. Boil one
minute, then add one egg and half tea.
spoonful OF corn starch rubbed smooth in
milk. Serve hot. Served on toast il is
an excellent breakfast dish. If cream is
plenty, use cream instead of milk, and
less butter. We have tried this faith
fully and are confident it is worthy of all
praise From the Christian Union.
