Among the many omelets made with
eggs, the most economical are those which
gain in bulk from the addition of some
ingredient cheaper than eggs; for in
stance, if a cupful of cold salt fish is on
hand, melt together tablespoonful each
of butter and flour, gradually stir in
cupful each of milk and water, or use a
pint of water; add the cold fish free from
bones, three eggs beaten for minute,
and high seasoning of salt and pepper,
stir the mixture over the fire until the
eggs arc cooked TO the desired degree.
and serve on toast. The dclicacy OF this
dish may be increased by separating the
yolks and whites and beating the latter
TO stiff froth, stirring them in lastly.
With cold boiled rice favorite Southern
omclet can be made: Mix a cup of cold
boiled rice with three eggs, salt and

BREAD FRrrrfRs.

Soak two cupfuls of stale bread
crnmbled into bits over night in pint
OF milk. In the morning add two beaton'
eggs, and as much flour as will make the
batter drop from spoon. Sift little
baking powder through the flour. These
may be made thin like pancakes il YOU
prefer, in which case add handful of
cerealiue or Indian meal. Serve these
with link sausagcs that have been split
and broilod. This is an unusual way of
cooking sausagos, bht il deserves TO be
better known. They are more dlgestible,
and quite free from fat. A few drops of
orange juice sprinkled over them is n de-
hcious addition.-Amcriom Agriculturist.
