Hints on the Preparation o! Fish |

Perhaps no other vegetable baa been so much abused as to reputation and in preparation a* has tbe very excellent and deiidous cabbage. matter of fact, its bad reputattcu is not due to any inhetent quality of its own. but to the wrong method of cooking 1L A yellowish, flabby mass of cabbage leaves is neither pleasant to look at nor to eat. ana. moreover, It is highly Indigestible. First of all. to boll cabbage correctly, select a sound white bead, heavy for Its size, and soak in wellsuited water for an hour or longer. Then cut tbe vegetable Into quarters tnd take out tbe hard stems. Have ready a Urge kettle of actively boiling water, salted to taste, and 11 the cab.age is not absolutely fresh add a little sugar to snake up for the lost sweetness In the vegetable, quarter of r. teaspoonful of baking soda. Plunge the cabbace Into the water, out- piece at a time, so that the boiling Is not wrested. When all Is In. bell for exactly 25 minute#—no longer. Do not cover tbe kettle at any time during the process; and not only will tfc:! cooking be accomplished more rapidly, but there will be scarcely any odor from the vegetable while cook-
