the  back  of  the  stove  where  the  water 
will  keep  hot,  but  will  not  boil.  Just 
before  dinner  move  the  vessel  forward 
and  let  the  water  boil  for  perhaps  two 
minutes.  Drain  the  fish  and  serve  with 
Dutch  sauce. 
Dutch  Sauce. — Put  in  a  small  saucepan 
a  tablespoon  ful  of  butter;  when  melted 
add  a  teaspoonful  of  flour,  and  stir  until 
smooth.  Add  gradually  a  piut  of  boiling 
water  ;  season  with  a  saltspoonful  of 
salt,  and  a  quarter  of  a  saltspoonful  of 
white  pepper.  Let  it  boil  once,  then 
take  from  the  fire,  stir  in  the  yolks  of 
two  eggs,  three  tablespoonfuls  of  butter, 
one  of  lemon  juice  or  vinegar,  and  the 
stiffly  beaten  whites  of  the  eggs 
Codfish  a  i.a  Creole. — Boil  as  above 
two  pounds  of  salt  codfish,  drain,  and 
place  in  a  baking  dish.  Have  ready  a 
quart  of  stewed  and  seasoned  tomatoes, 
with  which  has  been  cooked  a  large  onion 
minced  fine.  Pour  the  tomatoes  over  the 
fish,  cover  with  fine  bread  crumbs,  and 
bake  gently  half  an  hour. 
Salt  Codfish  a  la  Florentine. — 
Soak  the  fish  overnight.  In  the  morning 
cut  it  in  pieces  and  put  in  a  stew-pan 
with  three  tablespoon fuls  of  olive  oil  to  a 
pound  of  fish  ;  add  some  parsley  and 
onion  minced;  season  with  pepper,  and 
stew  slowly  about  half  an  hour.  This  is 
excellent  for  breakfast. 
Stewed  Salt  Codfish. — Soak  the  fish, 
then  put  over  the  fire  for  10  minntes  in 
boiling  water.  Drain  off  the  water,  add 
to  the  fish  a  tablespoonful  of  butter,  a 
tablespoon  ful  of  flour,  and  a  generous 
cupful  of  milk.  Season  with  pepper,  and 
serve  with  slices  of  hard  boiled  eggs  on 
top. 
Salt  Codfish  Pie. — Take  a  cupful  of 
cold  boiled  fish,  and  the  same  quantity 
of  macaroni  boiled  tender  in  milk.  Mix 
together  and  put  in  a  baking  dish. 
Sprinkle  with  a  third  of  a  cupful  of 
grated  cheese  seasoned  with  Cayenne. 
Cover  with  bread  crumbs,  and  put  a  few 
pieces  of  butter  on  top.  Bake  a  light- 
brown. 
Salt  Codfish  Balls. — Take  a  pint  of 
raw,  soaked  fish,  picked  very  fine.  Pare 
a  pint  of  small  potatoes.  Put  the  pota¬ 
toes  in  the  pot  with  the  fish  on  top  and 
boil  half  an  hour.  Drain,  and  mash  the 
potatoes  and  fish  together  until  light. 
Add  a  piece  of  butter  the  size  of  an  egg, 
a  little  pepper,  and  two  beaten  eggs. 
Have  a  kettle  of  boiling  fat.  Dip  a  table¬ 
spoon  in  the  fat,  then  take  up  a  spoonful 
of  the  mixture.  Drop  into  the  boiling 
fat  and  fry  until  brown.  Dip  the  spoon 
into  the  fat  every  time  you  take  a  spoon¬ 
ful  of  the  mixture.  These  are  excellent. 
Salt  Codfish  in  Potatoes. — Six  large 
potatoes,  one  pint  and  one  cupful  of 
milk,  two  tablespoonfuls  of  butter,  a 
small  slice  of  onion,  one  pint  of  soaked 
salt  codfish,  salt,  pepper  and  one  large 
tablespoonful  of  flour.  Peel,  boil  and 
mash  the  potatoes.  Add  the  salt,  pepper, 
one  tablespoonful  of  butter,  and  the  cup¬ 
ful  of  milk,  which  has  been  allowed  to 
come  to  a  boil.  Beat  thoroughly  and 
spread  a  layer  of  the  potatoes  on  a  hot 
dish.  Heap  the  remainder  about  the 
edge,  making  a  wall  to  keep  in  the  fish. 
Prepare  the  fish  by  boiling  the  pint  of 
milk  with  the  onion.  Mix  flour  and  but¬ 
ter  together,  and,  when  well  mixed,  add 
two  tablespoonfuls  of  the  hot  milk.  Stir 
all  into  the  boiling  milk,  remove  the 
onion,  add  the  fish,  and  cook  10  minutes. 
Salt  Codfish  with  Tomatoes. — Soak  a 
pound  of  fish  all  night.  Put  in  a  stew- 
pan  three  tablespoonfuls  of  olive  oil, 
add  a  small  onion  chopped  fine,  and  fry 
for  five  minutes,  not  letting  it  brown. 
When  Baby  was  sick,  we  gave  her  Castorla, 
When  she  was  a  Child,  she  cried  for  Castorla, 
When  she  became  Miss,  she  clung  to  Castorla, 
When  she  had  Children,  she  gave  them  Castorla 
Add  a  scant  pint  of  stewed  tomatoes  and 
the  codfish  flaked  ;  season  with  pepper, 
and  cook  slowlj7  15  minutes. 
Salt  Codfish  Curry. — Flake  half  a 
pound  of  soaked  codfish.  In  a  frying 
pan  put  a  large  tablespoonful  of  butter  ; 
when  melted,  add  half  an  onion  minced, 
and  fry  until  tender,  but  not  brown. 
Then  add  a  generous  half  pint  of  stewed 
tomatoes  and  the  fish.  Cook  slowly  five 
minutes,  then  add  curry  powder  to  suit 
the  taste.  It  is  impossible  to  give  the 
exact  quantity  of  curry  powder,  as  tastes 
differ,  some  liking  the  curry  hot,  others 
wishing  only  the  flavor  of  the  powder. 
Cook  10  minutes  and  serve. 
Salt  Codfish  au  Gratin. —  Soak  two 
pounds  of  fish.  About  an  hour  before 
dinner  put  it  on  in  cold  water.  Stand 
where  it  will  heat  quickly,  but  do  not 
boil  it.  Make  a  white  sauce  the  same  as 
Dutch  sauce,  omitting  the  eggs  and  lemon 
juice.  To  this  add  four  ounces  of  grated 
cheese.  Drain  the  fish,  break  in  small 
pieces,  put  in  a  baking  dish,  cover  with 
the  sauce,  sprinkle  bread  crumbs  on  top. 
Bake  to  a  light  brown. 
Salt  Codfish  Chowder. — Soak  two 
pounds  of  codfish.  Slice  and  fry  half 
a  pound  of  pork ;  peel  and  slice  a  gen¬ 
erous  pint  of  onions.  When  the  pork  is 
fried,  take  it  out  of  the  drippings,  put  in 
half  the  fish  and  half  the  onions,  then 
the  fried  pork,  then  the  rest  of  the  fish 
and  onions.  Cover  with  cold  water  and 
boil  30  minutes.  Soak  four  sea  biscuits 
in  cold  water  for  five  minutes  ;  add  them 
to  the  chowder,  and  boil  five  minutes. 
Season  with  salt  and  pepper  before  serv¬

An  Appeal  to  Parents. 
THE  children  of  a  community  usually 
represent,  in  miniature,  the  life  of 
their  elders,  and  a  teacher  can  readily 
see  what  sort  of  persons  she  has  to  work 
either  with  or  against.  The  local  preju¬ 
dices  are  shared  alike  by  parents  and 
children  ;  and  snubs  and  slights  are  fre¬ 
quently  given  by  one  child  to  another, 
where  perhaps  policy  or  some  other  mo¬ 
tive  restrains  the  parents  from  exhibit¬ 
ing  a  similar  feeling.  In  the  same  way, 
the  parents’  opinion  of  a  teacher  descends 
to  the  little  ones  ;  and,  if  unfavorable, 
then  by  so  much  does  the  teacher  lose 
her  influence  for  good  over  the  child. 
Parents  should  be  careful,  therefore, 
how  they  give  opinions  regarding  the 
school  and  its  teacher  in  the  hearing  of 
their  children. 
The  fact  that  children  who  come  from 
families  where  obedience  and  courtesy  are 
important  principles,  are  so  very  much 
easier  both  to  govern  and  to  teach,  goes 
to  prove  that  where  the  home  is  not  of 
this  kind,  the  manners  and  morals  are 
committed  by  default  to  the  teacher  for 
development.  Every  parent  who  seriously 
thinks  of  this  from  a  teacher’s  point  of 
view,  must  agree  that  this  is  hardly  fair 
to  either  party.  Just  try  to  realize  for 
a  moment  what  a  small  proportion  of  a 
child’s  time  is  spent  under  a  teacher’s 
eye  in  comparision  with  the  time  spent 
with  you.  Not  over  six  hours  a  day,  only 
five  days  in  a  week,  and  only  40  weeks 
in  a  year  at  the  most,  and  in  many  dis¬ 
trict  schools,  not  so  much  as  that ! 
Precept  is  all  very  well  in  its  place, 
but  for  a  lesson  in  manners  or  morals 
to  leave  its  impression,  it  must  be  put 
into  practice.  This  it  is  obviously 
impossible  for  a  teacher  to  do,  and, 
while  she  may  never  so  carefully  lay  down 
precepts,  an  hour  at  home  may  dissipate 
all  her  teaching.  For  instance,  a  teacher 
may  show  from  precept  and  illustration 
the  importance  of  habits  of  tidiness,  and 
the  child  may  even  become  enthusiastic 
on  the  subject  while  in  school,  but,  on 
entering  his  home  after  school,  he  finds 
everything  in  disorder,  and  discord  the 
rule  of  the  house.  Of  what  avail,  then, 
are  all  the  teacher’s  words  ?  The  child 
is  discouraged  at  the  outset,  and  dis¬ 
couragement  should  have  small  place 
in  a  child’s  emotions. 
One  of  the  first  requisites  of  a  true  par¬ 
ent  is  the  ability  to  discriminate  between 
the  child’s  present  preference  and  its  real, 
permanent  benefit. 
It  seems  to  me  that  harmony  of  parents 
and  teachers  is  the  only  remedy  for  much 
of  the  existing  trouble  in  the  teaching 
and  governing  of  country  schools.  Be¬ 
come  acquainted  with  the  plans  of  the 
teacher,  as  well  as  give  her  or  him  an 
opportunity  to  talk  with  you  about  your 
children.  Do  not  wait  until  something 
occurs  to  find  fault  with,  but  give  the 
teacher  the  satisfaction  of  knowing  when 
she  pleases  you,  as  well  as  when  she  dis¬ 
pleases. 
Another  way  to  aid  the  teacher  is  to 
ascertain  whether  or  not  your  child  is 
dull  in  any  study,  and  if  so,  to  give  drills 
in  that  study  at  home,  thus  saving  the 
teacher  from  taking  the  time  of  the  whole 
class  to  drill  one  pupil. 
Every  mother  should,  unless  some  ex¬ 
cellent  reason  should  prevent,  take  her 
child  through  a  primer  before  sending 
him  to  school.  Better  yet  if  a  First  Reader 
is  completed,  and  some  knowledge  of 
numbers  obtained.  It  is  next  to  im¬ 
possible  for  primer  and  First  Reader 
pupils  to  keep  in  good  order  for  a  whole 
day  and  the  teacher  is  obliged  to  be 
lenient  with  them.  Older  pupils  do  not 
realize  that  they  should  maintain  any 
better  order  than  the  younger  ones,  and 
are,  consequently,  much  harder  to  govern 
in  such  cases. 
It  should  be  borne  in  mind  that  tardi¬ 
ness  and  absence  seriously  retard  a  pu¬ 
pil’s  progress,  and  ought  to  be  guarded 
against  unless  positively  unavoidable. 
By  absence  a  pupil  loses  instruction, 
drill,  discipline,  and,  finally,  interest  in 
his  studies.  Every  reasonable  teacher 
will  make  due  allowance  for  severe  storms 
and  other  real  hindrances,  but  many  pu¬ 
pils  are  detained  at  home  for  very  trivial 
reasons. 
Good-will  and  common-sense  will  sug¬ 
gest  many  other  ways  of  lightening  the 
teacher’s  burdens,  and  these  may  vary  in 
different  localities.  Instead  of  pulling 
in  opposite  directions,  let  parents  and 
teachers  work  together  for  one  great  end 
— the  education  of  men  and  women  in 
the  truest  sense  of  the  word.  When  this 
is  done,  and  not  till  then,  shall  our  coun¬ 
try  schools  occupy  the  proud  position  of 
being  the  intellectual  and  moral  centers 
of  our  rural  communities.
