gested pou p. When this soup is served at a 
dinner where more than two courses are on 
the bill of fare, the crackers may be omitted 
and small tender crackers or bread croutons 
instead be passed srcund. 
Ring Haddock. —A three-pound haddock, 
one and a half ounce of salt, one quart or 
three pints of boiling water. Clean, cut off 
the fins and wash the fish quickly in cold 
water. Turn the tail into its mouth and place 
some strings across a tin di§h or a granite- 
ware kettle in such a way that they may be 
used to lift out the fish. Now put in the fish 
with the l ack uppermost. Sprinkle with the 
salt and pour over the boiling water. Cover 
and cook gently in the oven or on the top of 
the range 30 minutes, and twice during that 
time dip the water over the uncovered part of 
the fish. When done, lift carefully onto a 
warm platter. Place a bouquet of parsley 
where the fish is joined. Serve with triple 
sauce, either poured over the fish or in a sepa¬ 
rate dish. 
Triple Sauce.— Four ounces of melted 
l utter, three eggs boiled twelve minutes and 
finely chcpped. two tablespoonfuls of finely 
chopped parsley. Put the parsley in* a sauce¬ 
pan, pour over it one-half cup of boiling 
water, add the melted butter and chopped 
eggs. Stir together and serve before the par¬ 
sley loses its color. 
Haddock Soup. —For the soup strain the 
fish-w'ater and add to it all the fish that was 
left from dinner, picked clean from bones and 
skin, having llie flakes as whole as possible. 
Add also the sauce left over and a saltspoon- 
ful of white pepper. This may be kept several 
days in a cold place. When wanted add one 
tablespoonful of sugar, one ounce of butter 
(or less, according to the amount of sauce 
previously added) and heat to boiling. Heat 
also tw o quarts of milk in a double boiler. 
Split and warm 1(1 butter crackers, but do not 
brown them. Boil three eggs 10 minutes, 
shell and chop them coarsely. Put the crack¬ 
ers in the tureen, pour the hot milk over them, 
add the hot fish-water and the chopped eggs. 
Mix carefully and add more salt and pepper, 
if wanted. Serve immediately. If no sauce 
was left for the soup a little fine chopped par¬ 
sley may be added. The amount is sufficient 
for seven persons. 
CINNAMON BREAD. 
This was one of the delights of my child¬ 
hood, but has never tasted quite the same 
since. However this is my mother’s recipe 
which I give for the children to whom it will 
probably prove as delicious as it once did to 
me. On baking day when the dough is light 
and cracked over the surface, take out a piece 
weighing two pounds. Melt a quarter of a 
pound of butter in half a pint of warm milk, 
and add this with three beaten* eggs to the 
dough. Add also a salt-spoonful of soda dis¬ 
solved in a little warm water, and make the 
dough into a round loaf. Let it stand again 
until light; make deep cuts all over it and fill 
these with a cinnamon paste, closing the dough 
with your thumb and finger to prevent the paste 
running out when hot. For the paste work a 
cup of brown sugar, with two heaping tea¬ 
spoonfuls of powdered cinnamon, to a stiff 
paste, using as much butter as may be neces¬ 
sary to effect this. A. G.

A BATCH l OF GOODIES. 
SOME COOKING RECIPES FROM THE COOK-BOOK 
OF A LITTLE CALIFORNIA GIRL. 
I have among my friends on this Pacific 
Coast, a dear little girl named Bijou, who pos¬ 
sesses a love for cooking that is likely to spare 
her many an unhappy hour. Although she is 
only twelve years old, she has a sensible 
mother, who indulges and fosters this liking 
of her little girl, and many a delightful din¬ 
ner have I eaten prepared by the tiny hands 
of this “jewel.” 
The other day the dear child brought me 
a mat little manuscript, tied with a rose-col¬ 
ored ribbon, and with many blushes offered 
them to me for my department of the Rural, 
saying that she had herself tried everyone of 
them, and knew them to be excellent. These 
I herewith send, hoping that if my kind friend 
the Editor, does not relegate them to the 
scrap basket, they may prove an incentive to 
some other little girl to go and do likewise.

Have You Heard 
What Ayer*s Cherry Pectoral has 
done and is doing for thousands in the 
cure of Colds, Coughs, Pneumonia, 
Bronchitis, and even Consumption ? 
For this class of complaints, Ayer’s 
Cherry Pectoral stands far ahead of 
all other specifics. 
George W. Dick, of Newton, Mass., 
says : “Two years ago I took a severe 
cold, which, being neglected, was fol¬ 
lowed by 
A Terrible Cough. 
I lost flesh rapidly, had night sweats, 
and was soon confined to my bed. A 
friend advised the use of Ayer’s Cherry 
Pectoral. I began to take this medicine 
and, before finishing the first bottle, was 
able to sit up. Four bottles effected a 
perfect cure.”
