Fish should never stand in water, as it spoils the flavor. Fish should never be fried in butter. It should always be used while fresh. Plain boiled or mashed potatoes should always be served with it. Squash and green peas go very well with fish also. Always save all that remains after a meal, and warm up, to help out another dish. The remains of boiled fresh fish can be warmed up in a butter^ pepper, salt, and water, as you would stew lobster. Cold fried and broiled fish can be placed in a tin pan, and set into the oven ten minutes, when it will be found to be hot enough. Fish balls can be steamed for ten or fifteen minutes, and then set into the oven to get crisp. If you have a large piece of boiled fish, which you wish to serve whole, place it on a plate, and set into the steamer, and steam twenty minutes. If you have drawn butter to warm up, do not stft it on the fire, but put it into a bowl, and set the bowl into hot water. Cook butter as little as possible, as by cooking it becomes oily. When you do use it, alwaj's add it three or five minutes before taking the dish from the i©lfFS.

fine any kind of cold meat (before chopping dredge with is always the best manner of seasoning hash, as by this means all parta»will be seasoned alike). If you have cold potatoes, ckop fine and mix with the meat, if they are A'oi, mash. Allow one third meat to two thirds potato. Put this mixture in the frying-pan with a little water to moisten it, and stir in a spoonful of butter, or, if you have nice beef drippings, use that instead of butter. Heat slowly, stirring often, and when warmed through, cover and let it stand on a moderately hot part of the stove or range twenty minutes. When ready to dish, fold as you would an omelet, and all the trimmings and pieces that are left of all kinds of meat, and have a hash once or twice a week. It does not hurt a hash to have different kinds of meat in it. Avoid having a hash (or indeed any other part of your cooking) greasy. It is a great mistake to think that seasoning anything highly with butter improves it; on the contrary, it often ruins it by disguising the natural flavor, and giving you an unhealthy dish. I have nothing to say against a moderate use of butter in cooking, but I do strongly protest against the immoderate use of it in soups, gravies, hashes, stews, and on meats and fish of all kinds. I do not know of one kind of soup that is improved by the addition of butter. Observe, when you let steak stand in thS oven or on thfe hearth a few minutes after buttering, you will find that the butter has become oily, and you have neither the flavor of the meat or butter, but an unpleasant oily flavor. I have given only the simplest modes of cooking meats in this department, and many may think, perhaps, that have been too minute; but I have not forgotten the time when these little, hints as to how to put things together, as well as the quantities and kinds to take, would have been of untold value to me; and I know that every day there
