prisinG that a dish SO easily prepared and
so delicious as omelet has come into use to
so small an extent in this country there
are extensive districts where it has never
been heard OF, and many housekeepers
who meetwithit in their travels never
have it upon their own tables, because
their cooks do not know how to prepare it..
Omelet is simply egg beaten and fried in
butter. Break three trest eggs into bowl
add n little pinch of salt and teaspoonful
Of waiter, and beat the eggs thoroughly
Then put tablespoonful of good butter
into a fiat frying pan, and hold the pan
over the fire with the handle little eie.

"NAKEp TRUTH."-- The eccentric John
Holmes used frequently in his addresses
20 different juries to explain the meaning
of the phrase "haked truth" by relating
the following fable:
Truth and Falshood travelling one warm
day, met at river, and both went to bathe
at the same place. Fal.ebood coming first
out of the water, took his companion's
clothes and left his own vile rairnent, and
then went his way.-Truth coming out
of the water, sought in vain for his own
proper dress Truth started al naKeo
