noM ro MAKE AN oME1Er.

'1f it were my privilege TO examine
all the cooks in the city" says Mrs.
Rorer, II should first put them tC
making omelets. as nothing would be-
tray more quickly the skill or ignor-
ance of cook than the handling of
the breakfast omelet" And then she
explains how it should he made
Have an omelet pan about eight in
ches in diameter-one made from sheet
iron preferable. The bottom should
be as smooth as glass. II not, put into
it teaspoonful of salt, aad then with
piece of brown paper scour it thor
oughly. Do not wash it after, simply
turn the salt out and put in a piece of
butter the size of walnut. Break
four to six eggs into a bowl and with
n fork give twelve to fifteen vigorous
beats, not enough TO make the mixture
light, but to thoroughly mix the white
and the yolks of the eggs. Beating
either together or separately robs eggs
of their flavor, and also makes small
air cells, which expand as the pan is
heated and cool rs the omelet is turned
over for the table, thus making heavy
rather than light and tender one.
Do not add salt or pepper TO the ONE
let until it is nearly done. Salt
toughens the eggs Add one teaspoon
ful of boiling water to each egg as soon
as they are beaten. Put in piece of
butter the size of hickory nut Now
put the frying pan over the fire, hav-
ing already placed in it piece of but
ter the size of walnut, and as soon
as it is melted, not brown, pour in the
eggs Place over a quick fire, shake
as soon as the omelet begins to have n
set appearance; with timber knife
lift the eggs, allowing the more liquid
part to go underneath. thus forming
layers, as it were, being very careful
not to tear the omelet, or it will have
the appearance of scrambled eggs.
Now sprinkle the omelet with salt and
pepper, and continue lifting until the
whole has been put in iellylike con-
dition. If the pan is perfectly smooth
the omelet will not stick. When done
and set, not hard, slip knife under
the omelet-that part next the handle
of the pan-roll it over, then turn
gently on to heated dish; serve at
once. 1t is better that you should
wait five minutes for your omelet than
that your omelet should wait one min
ute for you.
You will notice l have used water in
preference to milk. Milk contains a
small amount of cheese, toughens in
cooking and spoils the omelet. Neither
should you use thickening of any kind
--cornstarch or flour. Simply take
the egg and water and you will have a
tender, delicious omelet One more
caution, the omelet should not be q
dark brown, as it destroys the favor
of the egg.

than the labor required to make the
cuttings and plant them Currants,

The Camel in War.
Tho camel is q good soldier.

The camel is a good soldier.
II may be stupidity and it may bo
bravery, but a camel is as steady under
FIRE as a tower The Persisns mounted
small cannon on the backs of their
camels, and called them zamb-wahs or
"little wasps." This fashion was
adopted in India, and after the battle
of Sobroaon 2000 of these artillery
camels were captured. In the Indian
mutiny the British had a camel corps
of $50 beasts and on the back of each
camel sat Scotch Highlander in his
kilt. In 1s45 Sir Charles Napier had
a camel corps in Sindh, and in one day
he marched seventy-ive miles, de-
feated n brigand chief and marched
home again In 1873 the British used
camels against the Afghans and the
Government paid for $4,000 camels
that died in those campaigns. Many
of these were driven to death 10y their
owners in order that they might claim

The Christian Safeguard mentions bright
woman who has hit upon new, and what
has proved TO be an effective, device for the
restraint and reformation of a drunken hus-
band. She and her children were only too
painfully familiar with his disgusting APP
pearance when intoxicated. She thought he
had bat a very imperfect idea himself OF the
sorry picture he presented when in that con-
dition. She resolved that he should know.
When he next came home drunk and fell into
n maudlin sleep she sent for tho photogra-
pher, and had him photographed as he sat
in the chair. The photographer did his work

beside the husbands plate at breakfast.

1RRreAr1oN AVID TREE cur.rrRr.

The necessity for tree culture is
equally imperative with irrigation,
and the arid lands question will never
be satisfactorily settled without the
recognition of this principle in its
solution. America can i'll afford to
ignore the experience of other Nations
in this respect, and forestry should
receive equal consideration with irri-
cation.
It has been estimated that within
historic times some seven millions of
square miles along the shores of the
Mediterranean, once highly fertile,
have been changed into worthless
deserts, and for nearly two thousand
years the inhabitable portion of the
earth has decreased at the average
rate of $500 square miles. This has
been produced by the direct agency of
man, the evil being chiefly due TO
river floods caused almost exclusively
by the destruction of land protecting
forests.
1t is right that America should set
the example of reclaiming desert
lands, and thus increase the earth's S
capacity for supporting the human
race. Irrigation and tree culture
must go hand and hand in this work.

Broad Making MACHINES.

Tn the manufacture of the bread
making machines of the last few years
the great object has been TO obviate,
MS far as possible, the handling of the
dough. The materials themselves,
having sort OF life impaired to them
in the process Of fermentation, require
entirely different treatment from that
to which other materials are subjected,
while necessitating machinery of
powerful construction to obtain
thorough and rapid mixing and the
stretching and folding motions essen
tial TO the increase in elasticity of the
dough and the development of the
gluten in the flour An improved
machine possessing all these features
has been constructed Its various
movements are controlled by the turn
of n hand wheel. In the working of
the mixers the materials are brought
from each of the four corners of the
receiving trough to the centre of the
machine, incorporating the flour and
liquor thoroughly by evenly intermix-
ing them, but without rubbing them
against the side of tho trough. The
machine has two speeds - ono for
breaking the sponge and for quickly
mixing the materials, and the other
for the kneading operation. The gear
ing for producing these speeds is sctu-
ated by means of a hand-wheel, which
acts quite Independently, without
stopping the machine. The arms OF
the machiae upon one side are made
to act in the opposite direction to
those upon the other side, or to work
in the same direction by the simple
movement of hand lever. The trough
can be tilted while the beaters are
either in motion or Mt rest. All the
shafts revolve in split gun-metal bear
ings, and the kneading arms are pro
vided with cone bearings of specia
construction. The gearing and work
ing parts are carefully covered so as I,

ABSOLUTELY PURE
New Solution OF the Tramp Problem.


Salem has originated novel scheme.
With the citizens of the capital city
the tramp problem is on fair road
toward being solved. A huge rock
pile has been formed on the vacant
ground just south of the intersection
of Liberty and Ferry streets. A large
shed has also been built. Hammers
are in abundance. Hereafter when
aid is asked for 10y the tramps they
will be referred to certain we'll
known firm, who will issue to the
tramp or tramps ticket admitting
them TO this rock pile free of charge.
Each of these tickets will be signed by
the person issuing it. At the pile is
stationed man who is overseer and
who collects the tickets issued. When
the tramp presents his ticket at the
pile he is supplied with n hammer and
obliged to put in his best licks on the
rocks. After an hours labor, the time
designated by the board, the overseer
signs the ticket and the tramp is en-

ESSENTIALS IN STRAWBERRY GROWING.

Professor Lazenby, before the Co
lumbus Horticulture Society gave the
following summary of essential points
to be kept in mind:
The most profitable varieties for the
commercial grower are those not cas-
lily influenced by differences in soil
and climate. Those which succeed
well on wide areas are usually better
than those which have a more local
reputation.
Pistillate varieties, when properly
fertilized, are more productive than
the sorts with perfect flowers.
The value of a variety for fertiliz-
ing pistillate flowers does not depend
so much upon the amount as upon the
potency of its pollen.
The flowers of pistillate varieties are
less liable to be injured by frost than
the flowers of perfect varieties.
Varieties that are neither very early
nor very late in point of maturity, are
the most productive and have the
longest fruiting season.
As a rule, varieties that have the
most vigorous and healthy foliage are
the least productive, while those with
a weaker growth of foliage and a
greater susceptibility to leaf blight
are usually the more prolific.
Winter protection may be dispensed
with upon well drained soils, but ap-
pears to be a necessity upon heavier
ones.
The leaf blight may be checked by
using the Bordeaux mixture, beginning
just as soon as the leaves appear, and
continuing the application every few
weeks throughout the season. Col

or spring. The cuttings that are
gathered in the winter should be tied
in loose bundles, and be set in damp
sand in a frost proof cellar where they
will keep until needed in the spring.
As soon as the soil dries out in the
spring they should be planted.
The young shoots of last season
should be selected for these cuttings,
and they should be cleft from the
main bushes so that they will be about
one foot long. These are nearly all
buried in the spring in deep, rich soil,
leaving only four inches of the tips
above the ground. The soil must be
trampled down firmly around them.
They will begin to start almost i'm
mediately, and young orchard of
trees or shrubs will soon prove great
blessing. Not only fruit bearing trees
will succeed in this way, but nearly
all shade trees. 1t is probably the
easiest way of starting young trees
that can be devised.
Ounce orchards should be started
every few years if a good crop is ex-
pected annually, and there is no easier,
quicker and surer way than selecting
the cuttings in the winter months,
when there is plenty of time, and then
starting them out early in the spring.
Meanwhile, the land on which they
have been started can be planted the
same as usual for season or two af-
terward. American Cultivator.
