HOW TO MAKE AN oMELET.


eff it were my privilege to examine
all the cooks in the city," says Mrs.
Rorer, 81 should first put them to
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 be 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. If not, put into
it teaspoonful of salt, AID then with
piece of brown paper scour it thor
oughly. Do not wash it after, simply
turn the salt out and put in piece of
butter the size of walnut. Break
four to six eggs into bowl, and with
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
mir cells. which expand rs the pan is
heated and cool as the omelet is turned
over for the table, thus making a 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
full of boiling water to each egg as soon
MS they are beaten. Put in a piece of
butter the size of q hickory nut. Now
put the frying pan over the fire, hav-
ing already placed in it piece of but
ter the size of a walnut, and as soon
as it is melted, not brown, pour in the
eggs. Place over n quick fire, shake
as soon as the omelet begins TO have u
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 jellylike 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 | 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
tender, delicious omelet. One more
caution, the omelet should not be a
dark brown, as it destroys the flavor
of the egg.

FRUIT GROWING FOR PROFIT.

The best land for fruit growing is II
loan with some gravel in it, but good
drainage is indispensable for success.
Plums and pears will do better on
heavier soils than other fruits. There
is no doubt of the profit of either of
these two fruits, but both are difficult
of culture, and skill and extreme care
are necessary to succeed. Both are
liable to diseases and attacks of injuri-
ons enemies that must be most care
fully guarded against. Then either
fruit may pay several times as much
profit as any other common kinds. The
spring IS the best time to plant these
fruits, but apples may be plantedfin
the fall quite as well as in the spring.
In choosing varieties it is we'll to con-
suit the nurserymen from whom the
trees are purchased, as they will know
the best kinds for the locality and
soil. Otherwise any experienced fruit
grower of the neighborhood may be
consulted. AS rule, it is best to
procure the trees from the nearest
nursery, and thus avoid the risks of
delay in transportation. Pears are
set twenty feet apart, and plums need
about the same space. 1t has been
found profitable to set out dwarf pears
between the rows of the standard trees.
as they will begin to bear the third
year, and by the time the others be-
gin to bear they will have repaid all
the cost of planting, and, under
favorable circumstances, a respecta-
BILE profit. When the planter has the
experience and skill needed, there is
no more profitable agricultural enter
prise than fruit growing. New York

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 q more local
reputation.
Plstillate varieties, when properly
fertilized, are mere 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 pistillnte 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 APP
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

YOUNG CALVES MUST BE PROTECTED.

The first year of calf's life deter
mines to great degree its value as an
animal for profit. If it is permitted
to run with the COWS, steers and
older cattle, where it will be jostled
about and made to stand back from
the feed until such time as it can
get to take up the refuse left after the
stronger have their choice, an ,un-
profitable, stunted calf will be the re-
suit. t.-Western Plowman,

Eccentricities In Palaces.

late reports, has had a palace construct
ed which he can submerge in the sea at

sort.

the memory Of the ice palace built by
the Russian Empress Anne, who pun
ished several of her dainty courtiers by
compelling them to pass the night in
this great chamber of state, where they
were almost frozen to death.

The Parsees will not burn or bury
their dead, because they consider dead
body impure, and they will not suffer
themselves to defile any Of the elements.
They therefore expose their corpses to
vultures. One sees nothing but the
quiet, white robed procession white is
mourning among the Parsees) following
the bier to the Tower of Silence. At the
entrance they look their last on the dead,
and the corpse bearers-a caste of such
carry it within the precincts and lay
it down, to be finally disposed of by the
vultures which crowd the tower.
Meanwhile, and for three days after.
the priests say constant prayers for the
departed, for his soul is supposed not to
leave the world till the fourth day after
death. On the fourth day there Is the
Uthanna ceremony, when large sums Of
money are given away in memory of the
departed. The liturgy in use is series
of funeral sermons by Zoroaster
OF superstitions the Parsees have had
more than they retain. Connected with
burial is the popular conception as to the
efficacy of a dogs gaze after death.
Dogs are sacred and supposed to guide
the souls of the dead to heaven and TO
ward off evil spirits; hence it is custom
airy to lead a dog into the chamber of
death, that he may look at the corpse
before it is carried to the tower.-Nine-
teenth Century.

lHOMPSONVILLE sept. 20.
To the Edit0r:-Will once more give
the readers of the best paper in old Van
Buren, county little history of our city
and its surrounding country.
Only three and a half years ago this
place was dense forest, where now
live, move and have a being 1900 people
of intelligence, with the push and ener-
gy necessary to build cities and clear
farms. We have good class of mer-
chants and tradesmen, and all goods
are sold here that can he found any
where i'm Michigan. We have M.D.'s,
sionally Hon. Geo. Covell comes down
the monotony We have in operation
three good sawmills, two single mills,
one planning mill, one factory for turn
ing out cant-hook stocks, one for cut
ting paving blocks, and room for sew
eral factories to work up our surplus
timber Farms are being cleared, and
crops are as good "a the average in
Northern Michigan. We have had "A
drouth, the same as other places, but
no worse, and not so bad as in some
localities. We are favored with good
climate, good water, and very small
crop of Democrats, the past year hav-
ing been very hard upon the Demo
party here as well as elsewhere. Occa-
sionally Populist springs up, but only
for short time, AS the soil is too rich
to grow anything but straight Republi-
cans. Our postmaster is good Demo
crgt, one of Growers appointees, gen
tleman otherwise. We have lots OF
land for farming, cheap and good, some
of which can be purchased for less than
the actual worth-some farms already
cleared and dwellings thereon, some in
the rough. We welcome any and all
good people To our place and extend
the right hand of fellowship to all who
come for the purpose of helping TO build
up a farming country. We have all the
brotherhood and sisterhood orders here
in good, healthy working order. Our
school is flourishng, the number of
pupils gradually increasing, and the
building of addition to the rooms has
begun. Churches are built and our
people attend divine worship and Sun
day schools. Last, but not least, is our
newspaper - The NeoOS "a paper pub
lshed in the interest of the people of
this place, thoroughly alive to the fact
that Thompsonville is destined to be the
leading city of Benzie county, and doing
all in its power to upbuild the place.
The only drawback to our progress
now is the lack of money to work up
our timber, clay for brick and tile,
and shale for earthenware, of which we
have an unlimited supply of the best.
OF course, the hard times laid blight
ing hand upon us, and although we are
living, it is not as il would have been
had the good times. of 80 and 81 con-
tinued.
To all seekers for homes we would
offer cordial welcome, and will assist
all to see our place any time they may
come over into Macedonia.

Triple Pillar Saw Frame.

Among the recent mechanical con-
structions of note is a triple pillar saw
frame, conveniently designed to occupy
a space not much wider than an ordina-
ry vertical log frame. In carrying out
this plan the cross girder, which carries
the saw frame and the crank shaft bear
ings, is in one piece, the whole being
supported on three turned pillars, on
which by means of screws connected by
suitable gearing they are raised and
lowered together. In order to limit the
distance between the pillars as much as
possible, the connecting rod is attached
to the saw frame that is farthest from
the crank shaft. There is a bell crank
and fiywheel at each end of the crank
shaft, which enable the machine to work
steadily at high speeds without excessive
vibration.-New York Sun.
