dishes, and placing two eggs in each,

ing 1t for granted that chickendom has

Ing IS not among the lost arts, and fresh
eggs are still to be had, the followin g
recipes are excellent:
Fricasseed Eggs.-Boil six eggs for fit
teen minutes, then lay them in cold wa
ter Tor half an hour. Put a tablespoon
full. of butter in a saucepan and when
melted add half teaspoon of chopped
onion. Let this cook until lightly
Drowned, then put in tablespoonful of
flour which must be mashed and stirred
until smooth and free from Jumps (do
not let it BROWN, then add gill of wa
ter and enough sweet milk to make it the
consistency Of rich cream. Let the sauce
boil up once, add the eggs cut in quar-

salt and pepper; put in a little chopped
parsley and serve on hot platter.
Poached Bggs.-Put large sized pan
on the stove with plenty Of water, slight
ly sailed, and in it place as many muffin
rings as there are eggs to be poached.
Make ready some thin S. ices of buttered
toast cut into uniform squares and ar
range them on hot platter. When the
water is simmering, drop the eggs from a
cup, into the rings; as soon as thew are
cooked, (not too hard) take up both muf-
tin ring and egg with the skinner, and
slip it on piece of toast; then the ring
may be removed, leaving the egg in a
nice even shape. Sprinkle very lightly
with salt and pepper, first basting the
egg with little melted butter if desir-
ed. An epicure would garnish poached
eggs with sorrel.
Plain 0melet.-Put the frying pan on
to heat. Break SIX eggs into pan; sea-
son with pepper and salt, then oeat them
briskly until the yolks are we'll broken,
but not until they are trothy. Put a
small tablespoonful Of butter into the
hot frying pan and as soon as it is boil
ing pour in the eggs. Shake the frying-
pan gently with the left hand, and use a
knife in the right to loosen the edge of
the omelet so that all the eggs may be
cooked to creamy consistency without
being any overdone, then tip the pan a
little, turn one half over the other and
loosen the bottom by shaking gently; let
stand for moment longer and toss it
over on hot platter or slip it out with a
pancake turner.
! French Omelet.-Melt heaplng tea
spoonful of butter in half cup of hot
milk and turn it over half cup Of very
light bread crumbs-baker's bread is
best-add salt, pepper, and the yolks of
three eggs beaten to foam. Cut the
whites Of the three eggs to stiff froth,
lay them over the yolks and mix lightly
together. Melt two teaspoontuls Of but
ter IN smooth frying pan-and be care
full not to burn il; put in the omelet, as
soon as it is ready, and cook until we'll
done Out not until tough and leathery)
then turn it together in the shape of a
half moon, and slip or toss 1t onto hot
platter. A very nice variety may be
made by emitting the bread crumbs,
milk and butter, simply beating the
eggs separately as before directed. In
both these preparations the whites must
be put over the yolks and mixed only
lightly together, and the omelet must be
cooked in hot spider as soon as ready
with butter enough to prevent sticking
! Pits VS.. Root Houses.
Throughout all the newer portions of
the west, root crops, from the lack of Gel
lars, occasioncd from the want of drainage
are often imperfectly wintered. That
| there should not be cellars is not so much
from tie want of fall to some natural
outlet, as from the fact that in building
the house, the lack of stone, and the want
of time to cut drain, and the necessity
of tilling the same prevents this impor-
tant adjunct, a good cellar, being made.
Thus, from year to year the family sup
plies Of vegetables and roots must be
kept either in pits or caves, otherwise
termed root houses. In many cases the
land is such that easy drainage IS not
feasible, SO that an underground cellar is
not possible. In this case the sooner a
secure root house is built the more will
