OMELETTE.

Take well-flled ears of sweet corn
and with a linen cloth remove all
the silk between the rows Of kerr
nels. Cut the corn down the centre,
being careful not to, loosen them
from the cob, and then take out the
pulp by pressing downward with a
knife. To three tablespoonful of
the green corn pulp add the we'll
beaten pulp Of three eggs and a little
salt. Beat the whites of the eggs to
a stiff froth and mix with the corn
and the yoiks and pour into a hot
frying pan with little butter; cover
Immediately and set it where it will
cook but not burn. When set, fold
over the omelette and serve on a hot
dish Immediately. @
Take equal weight of peeled and
cored sour apples, peeled tomatoes,
seeded r~aisins, brown sugar and salt,
half the weight of ~capsicum and gin
ger, quarter the weight Of peeled
and minced shallots and bruised
garlic, enough lemon juice and vine
gar in equal quantities to render the
mixture the consistency of cream.
Beat the ingredients separately in a
stone mortar, then mix them
together adding the vinegar and
lemon juice. Turn the mixture into
an unglazed jar and let it stand in a
sunny window or by the fire for
a month, stirring well every day.
at the end Of that time strain the
liquid and bottle it, and put the
thick part into glass jars. The sauce
is used with cold meat or with fish
and the thick part or chunty is
eaten as a pickle.
HALIBUT CREAM PIE
Cut three pounds of halibut steak
into inch-square pieces, leaving out
the bones; pack it into a pudding
dish, sprinkle with pepper, salt and
chopped parsely and intersperse
the layers with a dozen oysters,
minced fine, and as many chopped
mushrooms. Scatter bits of butter
among these as you go on; add half
a cup of cold water and cover with
a good crust, cut a round hole in
middle of the pastry; cover and fit
over this a larger round the shape
of a tea biscuit; bake three quarters
of an hour, covering with white

paper tor thirty minutes; draw to
the oven door; remove the central
piece and pour into the hole "a sauce
made by "drawing" Il tablespoon III
of butter rolled in the same quantity
of -four in half cup Of boiling milk
mixed with four tablespoontuls Of
cream then cook for three minutes
replace the round Of pastry and
serve. The cream sauce should be
boiling hot when poured into the
pie.
WHOLE FAC PIE.
Choose large ripe peaches Of equal
size, says Marion Harland. Peel
carefully. Line a pie plate with Il
good crust, lay in the peaches, a
double layer, and packed closely
together; strew literally with white
sugar, owe with crust, u in the
centre the outlines of peach leaf,
veins and stems included, and bake.
Eat fresh with cream or cold with
the accompaniment of grated cheese
and iced milk. In either case sitt
powdered sugar over the surface OF
the pie. Whole peach pie is par
ticularly nice if the top be spread
while hot with meringue made by
whipping light the white of an egg
and a tablespoonful of rich cream,
then beating in four tablespoonfulS
Of white sugar. Lay thickly on the
crust and set on the upper grating
Of Il hot oven to harden. Peach pie
Is the queen of summer pastries.

DON'T WEAR YOURSELF OUT
WITH UNNECESSARY WORK.

Don't toll and drudge to bake and
cook luxurics for everyday Use. Is
It necessary to have pie and cake
on the table ut every meal? God
pity the poor animal Eve will not
call him a MANI who can't be salts
fled with good, plain hearty food
bread, meat. potatoes, milk, etc.
Must a woman drudge from morn
till night to make deIicacies often
injurious to the health of the eater?
Away with such folly!
Many heaIthful delicacies, how
ever, are easily made, and any reas-
enable person will be satisfied with
them. For instance, a plain, light
cake is not bad, especially if it is fla
vored with some extract. A deli
cious chocolate cake is made by stir
ring grated chocolate into the batter
of an otherwise plain cake. Graham
or oatmeal mush with cream and
sugar ought to be good enough for
anybody. Raw sweet apples, sliced
and eaten with cream r very nice,
and a delicious syrup is made by
melting white sugar and favoring
with vanilla. Any woman of COM
mon sense will readily think of many
such simple and toothsome eatables
and if she is Il woman Of common
sense will stop here and not work
for hours over Il hot stove at tire
some and unnecessarybaking. Fruit
is a healthfnf luxury and should be
freely eaten, either raw or cooked.
But, in cooking it, no useful purpose
is served in putting it between the
crusts of a pie or layers of cake.
Those who cannot eat it in any
other shape + too good for this
cruel world and should be allowed
to starve on plain food and take
for Paradise. They will be
surprised to find how much Of such
starvation it will take to kill them.
Then there is the ironing. Where
is the sense in ironing towels ard
many other things? "But how will
they look if not ironed!"some will
say. How does an ironed towel
look after it has been used once o.
twice? AS bad or worse than if it
had never been smoothed. but il
doesn't take long and everybody
else does So" No matter about
others-do right yourself: These
wasted half hours can be employed
in doing something really useful.
your work will be done sooner, you
will find more time for needed rest,
and night will not find you SO worn
out and discouraged. These few
minutes Of added toll are what break
you down, ruin your health and
make life a weary burden. Rather
use such time to preserve health
and improve the mind by reading
good books and papers. If it is
summer, 90 out and, get the fresh
air and sunshine. Gather the bios
SONS of the despised weeds and
buttercups, daisies,
and others. Make a bouquet
Of them and put it on the dinner
and see how these humblest
Of natures gifts will do more to
make a pleasant and happy home
than the best pie ever made. If you
a mother, teach your children
what will make them good men and
women. Let them wipe their faces
On a clean but rumpled towel, and
you will do better and be far hap
pier than if you neglect the children
md kill yourself to iron the towels.

The Apache situation is in a worse condition than at any time in the past year. After Geronimo's conference with Crook, says an ex- change, he has evidently become satisfied that he will receive no len iency from the government and when he and his twenty-one bucks and thirteen squaws left Lieutenant Maus' camp on the morning of April 2Sth, he did so with the de- termination to fight to the bitter end, and as his band is we'll armed, and plenty of ammunition and has left to the guardianship of our army all of his encumbrances of old women and children. It will be hard to bring him to terms again, as the course he took south indi- cates he will go into the Sierra Madre mountains and make his headquarters in their impenetrable fastnesses, from whence he can swoop down on the unprotected portions of Arizona and New Mex leo at pleasure, and steal our prop erty and murder our people at his own sweet will, and if Gen. Miles pursues the same policy that Gen. Crook did, the country may expect to have this Apache curse hanging over them for a year or so yet.

So IT appears that Charlie Kin. near, during his fugacious sojourr in Fl Paso, entertained the wish tc return to Apache county and il- luminate the mysteries of the war rant raising business, in which a few thieves in the community gloated and waxed fat for two years, and at which the honest citizens of the county have been swearing and blushing for the last twelve months. It also seems that the deplorable absence from his pocket-book of $30 was all that stood between him and the illumination enterprise in which he wished to embark in St. Johns. We trust when he again wants money to defray his travel ing expenses in this most right eous cause that he will notify the HERALD, which through its fnan- cial bureau will supply the requis- ite funds, and through it's ecclesi- astical department will grant him total absolution.

The defeat of the Bland bill f

The defeat of the Bland bill for free coinage, says the Globe-Demo- crat, may be said to have settled the silver question for this session. There will be no legislation upon the subject. and silver dollars will continue to be coined at the pres ent rate for another year. It is to be hoped that the country will be able in some way to avoid the worst effects of this continued ac- emulation of currency for which there is clearly no use; but there is much reason to fear at the same time that another year of such folly will precipitate the crisis which has so far been averted only by the ability of the Government to main tain a false standard of value.

THE great labor strike which h; s prevailed upon Gould's Southwest t System in it's practical situations and relations remains unchanged Grand Master Powderly has writ ten long letter to Gould, in which he indulges bitter personal refec- tions, and strongly intimates an organized effort will be undertaken by his order to crush and ruin him, and despoil him of ill-gotten gains. He threatens to carry his cause in to the courts, and by a series of litigations to bend the stiff-necked pride of the money-king. Gould answers the letter in a spirit which indicates a firmness unyielding to the last. The situation is also un- changed in St. Louis and marked by sporadic outbreaks of lawless- ness, intimidation and attempts to commit incendiary acts. We earn estly hope the pending d ficulti, s may reach some satisfactory solu- tion at an early day. A suffering embarrassed country, and millions of honest people in every avoca- ton of life, who by this strike are threatened with distress and ruin demand it's settlement for in it they are the innocent and involuntary victims. The question now is 'the stricken many against the striking few"

IN SPITE of the frantic efforts of the gold bugs, says the San Fran cisco Chronicle, to make the peo- pie believe the country is on the point of being denuded of its gold, the stock is constantly being added to. The statement of imports and exports for the twelve months end ing February 18th shows a net gain of nearly $6,O0O,0OO. It is a pretty safe prediction to make that as long

BARRY MATTHEWS,
THE New York Herald has q lei

THE New York Herald has a let. ter from Las Vegas saying that 90 per cent of the pre-emption and homestead entries during the last five years in New Mexico are of a fraudulent nature, and by this means hired perurers, cattle barons and land-grabbers have secured whole counties.
The St. Johns herald., 1886-04-22

THE letter of Charlie Kinnear to E. D. Johnson, which was embodied in the minutes of the Board of Su- pervisors, and published in the last issue of the HERALD, sheds no lit tie light upon a subject over which 8 half dozen persons in this coun- ty affected to be prostrated with a grievous and rabid indignation. Of course 1t is conceded on every hand that the half dozen Timber legged buckers, who with their tails at half-mast, boiled over and flew into print some two months ago were tied to Kinnear by those fer vent and kindred bonds of guilty complicity, which run around like corral fence and enclosed this in dignant half dozen in intimate and conspicuous companionship, and the public we'll know and appre- ciate too, the very discreet motives which induced this delft fingered association to discountenance and obstruct in every possible way the return of Kinnear. Even a savage instinctively knows that self-pres- ervation is a right belonging to every man, and one to be called in- to energetic exercise whenever cir cumstances warrant or demand it.. Every civilized community under stands that self-protection and pre- servation is not only a right almost divine, but its first and chief duty. Therefore no sane and honest man can object to any measures design ed to protect the interests and vim dicate the fair name of his county. The good people of Apache coun- ty not only expected, but demanded of the Board of Supervisors every effort to secure the return of Kin near, to the end that his interesting revelations might be utilized in al- lowing no guilty man to escape, and the Board we'll knew that to have failed in this high duty would have been recreance to the solemn trust which the people have con- fided to them. It is, therefor, manifest that $2S9 was expended for the purpose of procuring the evidence of Kinnear to save the county $S,000, and to bring to jus tice handful of public plunder- CTS who had despoiled the county treasury. We have reason to be- lieve that, at the proper time, the Board will publish the manner in which other sums have been ex- pended in the righteous attempt to protect the interests of the county and the property of it's citizens.
The St. Johns herald., 1886-04-22

SECRETARY LAMAR, of the Inte- rior Department, rules that the same man may avail himself of the pre- emption and the homestead act. In other words, settler who has ta- ken 16O acres under the pre-emp- ton act cannot be prevented from securing 16O more under the home stead laws.

AN exchange says Geronimo and his band are supposed to be head ing for the Nacosari country to join Mangus and his band who have been committing so many depredations in that locality lately.

MIR. MORRISON has reported a resolution in the House, from the Committee on Rules, asking that a committee of seven be appointed by the Speaker to investigate causes, conditions and extent of present labor strike.
