Some of the New York hotels have
bills of fare with the fly leaf covered
with cards of various business houses.
An Oregon man recently took a seat
behind one of them, when a waiter ap-
peared with "What will you have, sir ?"
To the utter confusion of the waiter,
he leisurely remarked, "You may fetch
me new set of teeth, in gutta percha;
an improved sewing machine, with
patent lock stitch; box of Brandeth's
pills, and a pair of number seven
French calfskin boots" Inamoment
the waiter replied, "We do not furnish
those articles" ssThen what the devil
have you got it on the bill of fare for?"

meat much. When this is finished
remove the frying pan from the fire,
take up the ham, pour off the fat into
a cup. and wipe the pan till it shines
like mirror, without a single speck
to mar the polish. Then put in a
spoonful of the clear part Of the fat,
break in the eggs, and set the pan in a
place scarcely hotter than boiling wa
ter; cover it and let the eggs cook as
slowly as possible for four or five min
utes, taking them up as soon as they
can be lifted out. Place them around
the ham, and do not pour any Of the
fat on the dish. Eat with mashed
potatoes.-Coasatry Gentleman.
