ANCHOVY SAUCE. — Chop one or two anchovies, without washing, put to them some flour and butter, and a little water✪ Anchovy Sauce ; stir it over the fire till it boils once or twice. If the anchovies are good, they will dissolve. ANCHOVY TOAST. — Bone and skin six or eight anchovies ; pound them to a mass with an ounce of fine butter till the colour is equal, and then spread it on toast or rusks. Another way. — Cut thin slices of bread✪ Anchovy Toast into any form, and fry them in clarified butter. Wash three anchovies, split, pound them in a mortar with some fresh butter, rub them through a hair- sieve, and spread on the toast when cold. Then quarter and wash some anchovies, and lay them on the toast. Garnish with parsley or pickles. ANDERSON’S PILLS— Con- sist of Barbadoes aloes, with a propor- tion of jalap, and oil of anise seed. In ANG *9 ANI general they are safe, except the patient has piles ; and in pregnancy it is better to use other purgatives. ANGLING. — The rod ought to be light and taper, and from 4 to 6 yards long. The line in strength, should be according to the fish you angle for. When shots are used fasten them about 1 foot from the hook. For your float take two goose quils, cut the head off each, about 1% inches long, put a pill of shoemaker’s wax in the end of each, to keep out the wet, then shut them to- gether like a needle-case, and fasten the joint with the same kind of wax ; cut 3 caps from a larger quill, to slip on each end of the float, after you have passed the fine through them. Some anglers use cork floats ; bore the cork with a red hot wire, into which insert a small quill, on which you must fit two caps, to attach it to the line. Have your tackling in good order, go to the river, provided with a panier, a landing net and a penknife, &c,, then look for a place with a smooth gravelly bottom, and about 3 or 3 yards in depth, cast in your line and await the result. For ground angling bait your hook with a corn and use it only morning and evening, in hot sunny weather, if cloudy, then at any time of day. In winter, choose the middle of the day, and where the sun is on your face warm, bait with a little white-tailed worm found in rotten thatch. Eyes of fish are a good bait. For angling after a shower, have the wind on your back, coming from the south or west, sun in your face. When the earth is hot and dry, it is no use angling ; or after sudden showers, or when the north or east winds blow cold and strong. The best time to angle is, when the weather is calm and clear, or cool and cloudy, with little wind. The best months for fly-fishing are from March to June. For carp or tench fish from sun-rising till 8 or 0 In the morning, and from 4 in the afternoon till night. They bite best after a gentle shower of rain, when the water is not muddled. Salmon bite best at about 3 in the afternoon, from May to September, the water should be clear, and a little wind. Barbel bite best in the early mom, from May to August. Pike bite best at 3 in the afternoon in August and September, and through the winter all day ; and at early morn from April to July. Perch bite all day in cool cloudy weather, from 8 till 10 in the morning, and from 3 till 5 in the afternoon.
