What Is Good for Breakfast.

A delicious breakfast omelet is prepared
by mixing the Ingredients in the usual
way and then placing whole apricots in
the golden envelope before it is rolled.
Another that was born beneath Spanish
skies is similarly made, with the intro
duction of sliced bananas laid in the COM
pound after being delicately Drowned in
the sweetest Of butter, then turned in the
omelet. This has been discussed with APP
probation by the writer at the table of a
Spanish friend. Leigh Hunt, who was a
mild epicure in his way, protested against
other food for breakfast than toast, ham,
tea or coffee, eggs, and always something
potted. In our climate it may be added,
and always fruit, the year round. For
breakfast eat fruit. The earth and sky

shine, needs no human basting. Its veins
are sweet with fragrant dew formed into
life by soft signing winds. The ardent
kisses of the summer sun paints blushing
cheek of the velvety peach, and fills with
wine the purple grapes ensphered in purple
luxuriance, that drop through the leafy
root of trellised arches. Such breakfast
is patriarchial. 1t has flavor of Area.

Lincoln and Stanton.

Among all the sturdy heroes of the war
who were mentioned in speecb and song
at the late reunion of the Grand Armv oil
mention of Edwin M. Stanton Tincoln,s
secretary OF war, was omitted by orators
and writers. AS an evidence Of the high
esteem in which he was held by the
President it is related that during the
early part OF the war the western men. as
they were then called, had a poor opinion
of the fighting qualities of the men of the
East, and, headed by Owen Loveiov of
Illinois, devised a scheme which thew
thought would prove this theory and he
at the same time of immense service to
the army of the east. Armed with all the
details of the plan, committee, headed
by Lovejoy, proceeded to Washington
and, calling upon President Lincoln, uu-
folded to him the wonderful scheme of
transferring sixty Thousand eastern troops
to the army of the West and supplying
their places with An equal number of
western men. Their eloquence and plau.
sible arguments convinced the President to
the extent that he gave an order to Score.

Lovejoy explained the scheme as he had
before done to the President, but was met
with flat refusal by the secretary. "But
we have the Presidents order, SIR" said
Lovejoy. "Did Lincoln give you an order
of that kind ?" quoth Stanton. "He
did, sir" "Then he is a fool" said the
irate secretary. "Do YOU mean to say

Illinoisian betook himself at once to the
President and related the result of the

recital. "He did, sir. and repeated it,

A Startling Adventure.

A party of sight-seers had thrilling
adventure on the newly constructed North
ern Pacific line across the main range of
the Rocky Mountains, at Mullan Tunnel,
fourteen miles west of Helena, Montana,
recently. The part of the road referred
to is known as the Overhead line
Overhead of Mullan TunneD, and crosses
the summit at an altitude of about seven
thousand feet above the sea level. 1t was
built in order that track-laying from the
east might not be brought to standstill
ut that point. while awaiting the compile
ton of the tunnel, which will not be &C.
complished for several weeks yet. Being
only intended for temporary use, the over
head line is very steep and crooked, and
the strongest of locomotives are required
for pulling the trains over the mountains.
As yet only construction trains cross, and
these, when the steepest points on the line
are reached, have to be divided and taken
over in sections. Professor K. I'll. Howey
of Helena, accompanied by his wife and
five friends, went out to the tunnel on the
construction train for the purpose of going
over the overhead line. Such trips, de-
spite the danger, are quite popular with
pleasure-seekers, on account of the SPLEEN
did view to be had from the summit. No
accident occurred in crossing to the west
side, but while coming back over the
range the party had an experience which
they will remember till their dying day.
About half way up the mountain the ca
boose occupied by the party was left
standing with locked brakes on the main
track, while the remainder of the train
was taken over the mountain, it being
the intention to send special locomotive
back after the excursionists. While wait
ing portion of the party climbed on top
of the caboose to get a better view of the
valley below. While thus engaged a
Swede appeared on the bank above and
began, shouting at them in an excited
manner in his native tongue. Professor
Howey rushed out on the uphill platform
and saw rounding curve not more than
hundred yards up the mountain, run
away train coming down from the sum-
init. 1t was composed of locomotive
weighing eighty thousand pounds and
eight fat cars heavily loaded with rail-
road iron. 1t was coming like an ava
lanche. There was no time to get the
ladies out of the caboose, and to be struck
by the runaway train could have but one
result, the hurting of the caboose train,
which stood at sharp curve in the road,
into the gorge below. Professor Howey
sprang TO loosen the brake, and the Swede,
who had scrambled down the bank,
grasped it at the same instant. The
caboose, now free OF restraint, started
down the mountain. This was done so
quickly that there was still an interval of
perhaps one hundred yards between the

MY SUNBEAM.

There are two sunbeams on the floors
Two sunbeams fair to see;
And one belongs to skies above,
And one belongs to me.
NV sunbeam lifts her tiny hands
Her playfellow TO grasp,
When 10, a shadow and the beam
Eludes my darlng's clasp.
Rut once again II comes; and ace,
II lies now here. now there;
1t kisses baby's dimpled cheek
And nestles in her hair;
Makes golden every little curl,
Upon the precious head,
TIL, like dream, again its light
From baby's side has fed.
oh! wondering baby eyes, which weep
At shadows left behind,
Fear not, the cloud will lift. and you
The vanished beam shall find.
Look even now upon the wall
1t climbs, then tumbles down
To shine at baby's feet ere 1t
Once more her head shall crown.
God grant, dear little one, that heaven
Its brightest beams may lay
Upon the paths your feet must tread
Throughout life's little day.
Full many beam Of purest gold
Your hands will strive to clasp;
Full many a shadow stern will snatch
The sunbeam from your grasp.
But even ere you cease to grieve,
Behold. the clouds roll by.
And where the shadow dwelt before,
A hundred sunbeams lie.
Look always for the brightest spot
As you through life shall go,
And Hope and Faith shall lll your heart
With heavens purest glow. Select
