PREPARING THE SHAD ?DELICICUS FISH MAY BE SERVED IN MANY WAYS. Planked !s, of Course, the Most Pop ular, and P"-5uauly the Best- Never ?. S.no-id Be Fried-Salads to Go With lt. There is no moro templing cr deli cious dish than shad. S iad muy be prepared in many ways; probably the most popular is p?ai:.i?'d shad. Many housewives think such a dish cut of the question, but all that one needs is a gcod hot fire and a plank. He sure, however, lo sea- ? son and garnish your fish before it j is placed on the table, or it will not j bo a success. You ask how eau I get a plank? j j\ carpenter will make you one of oak ttbeut two inches thick for the small ?sum of 50 ceuts. It can be used in definitely for the constant charring of the v.ood, only adds to the flavor of the fish. To plank shad first wash and wipe the whole fish thoroughly. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then fill it with this stuffing: Two cupfuls of bread crumbs or mashed potatoes, a grating of onion, a tablespoonful of parsley, butter the size of an egg. With a shar?) knife cut three or four slits in the upper side of the fish, aud put a thin slice of bacon in each open ing. lt should be baked in a mod crate oven for ul? minutes. If you cook with gas bake it for part of the time in *he oven, then brown and liu ish under the flame. Tl proper salads to serve with shad are watercress and tomato, cu cumbers and onions, or a salad of radishes cut thin aud laid on lettuce leaves. Hroiled shad may be accomplished with the ordinary broiler, but great care should be taken lest the tish is seared, if it is cooked over the open coals. Wise housewives never fry shad, as it is apt to absorb the grease and it loses much of its dainty fiavor. if prepared in this manner. An unusual recipe for shad is to put it in a sour pickle, and let it remain there for a day or so, then serve for a light supper. The shad should be cut in tipiares about three inches square, then boiled for 20 minutes. Heat some vinegar, season with pep per and salt, and crush some allspice in it. Pour this hot over the tish | and keep it tightly covered for several j hours before serving. It is delicious.

Li'g;-,t From the Earth. The darkes part cu' the sky is al ways aglow. The earth itself gives off a lot of light. Scientists of the Franklin institute have measured this earth light and have found that it is of the order of one-tenth part of the intensity of a star of the first order of magnitude. It is attributed, at least partially, to a permanent aurora bore alis which is revealed by the charac teristic green ray observed on ob scure nights in the whole heavens. Bad News. Small Peter, disguised as a district messenger, was delivering play tele grams to his sisters, who were im provising dispatches of a more or less startling nature. When it came Lil lian's turn, she read aloud from her bit of yellow paper, amid finely simu lated wails of woe: "Railroad wreck. I was instantly killed; Your loving husband." Soldier's Mest Trying Position. The average soldier linds the most terrifying position to be that of staud inj motionless in the front rank, ex posed to the enemy's fire without be ing able to reply. The order to ad vance or to charge with fixed bayonets is then received as a release from agony. Movement, even into greater peril, distracts the mind and greatly reduces the mental anguish.
