How to Make Southern Stewed Fish.

Take 6 pounds of Etriped bass, cut in itenkß, use bones of tbo same, 0 yolks of eggs beaten together, 8 whites of eggs beaten together, juice of 3 lemons, an onion, butter, salt and cayenue. Cut the fish into steaks, reserving all the bones, which you put down in a quart of boiling water with the onions fried slightly in butter, pepper and Bait In this boil the fish steaks, which remove whsri firm to a platter. Strain tbo liqnpr in which the fish bones, etc., have boiled, squeeze into it the lemon juice, add a little cayenne to taste, and then very carefully add tho beaten eggs. The safest way to do this successfully Is to remove the boiling liquor from tho fire, let it stand a moment, have a little cold water mixed with your eggs and pour theae gently into the hot liquor, stirring briskly all the time. Return to the fire until it thickens, but without boiling, stirring constantly. Pour this over the fish and set away to cool. Dress with neatly out strips of beet or Md pepper and trim the edge with small lettuce leaves. This makes a delicious sa|ad when served oold. but is one of the finest preparations of hot fish dishes.
