ToorHsoME LENTEN DISHES.


Not only the old monks, who were
wont to grow fat on diet of fish and
eggs, but numberless more humble fol-
lowers as well, have learned that meat
is not essential to we'll spread table.
Accustomed as we are to flesh food and
and to serving it in abundance, the
Thought of total abstinence comes at
first with s)me questioning as to healtb-
fulness as well as to the palatable quail
ity of dishes made with no element of
the sort. But just little re.ear CHI will
prove satisfying in the former direc-
tion, and little study of possibilities
will set at rest all doubts of the latter
sort. Given cheese, eggs, and milk
alone, one might easily devise a long
list of toothsome dainties, and with
fish added there is, indeed, no room for
complaint. Not only the allotted forty
days, but many more, might easily be
passed without criticism, and with i'm
proved rather than impaired health;
it is an acknowledged fact that we
Americans are quite dissipated in the
matter Of meat, and indulge therein
rather more freely than our climate act
.ually demands. For the Lenten sea-
son at least it is we'll to devise other
dishes, and to follow such regimen
as is recommended from hygienic
standpoint as we'll as from that of self
denial.
To make as tempting dish Of cheese
as the most exating epicure need ask,
it is only necessary to follow the rule
for Swiss pudding and to exercise
care in selecting the principal inered-
lent. Good American dairy cheese is
all that is required; but it should be
good, and Of the sort sold as ''sharp,"
although it is in reality mild and
creamy. Crate one.half pound with
All equal bulk of bread crumbs: then
add to batter made If four eggs and
quart of milk. Season with salt and
pepper, and pour into an ordinary pud-
ing dish. Bake in moderate oven un-
til nicely drowned and firm without be-
ing hard. For eiiher luncheon or sup.
per it will Prove both delicious and
nouriahipg-far too satisfying to allow
of serving with other hearty food.
Eggs are altogether too little priced,
and are served in too few ways. AS
matter of f.ct they will themselves
p provide variety sufficient 10 tempt
the most pampered palate for a goodly
number of days.

die He was removed to the Sunbury Hos

Mitchelrs body was brought to his late
home in this city.
The wrecked locomotive came out of the
shops Saturday, after an overhauling, and
the railroad officials cannot account for the
explosion. The boiler was blown $50 feet
and alighted Ln a mountain side, which
rises at an angle of sixty degrees from the
track. The trucks were thrown into the

dozen other towns. His travelling COM
panion will be Senator Thurston of Ne

The senator appears to have made a sue

manuscript or notes, and. indeed. he speaks
TO all appearance entirely without previous
preparation. AS a matter of fact, the only
guide to his speech that he uses is to con-
slider .!ell the points he intends to cover
before he goes to the meeting. He COM
mits nothing to memory, and frequently
striking an unexpected vein of thought, di-
verges altogether from what he originally
intended to talk about. He really made a
new speech every day he was gone
The senator's campaigning has only Just
begun. and a good deal of 1t will be the
hardest kind of hard work, but Mr.. Hanna

for the state ticket and a source of
strength to it as well as in the interest of

sioner of patents. in accordance with the
new rules promulgated by Commissioner
Butterworth. Applications to be registered
are coming in daily. In several instances
applications to register have been denied
by the Office. When these applications are
received they go to the chief clerk of the
patent Office. who verifies the statements
made by applicants regarding their past
practice before the office. When this is
done they are sent to Assistant Commits
sioner Greeley, who finally passes upon the
merits Of each case, and where the right of
an applicant to be registered is doubtful
further information is called for
1t is the intention of the officials of the
patent office to allow only the names of
attorneys whose standing before the Office
is of unquestioned character to be regis
tered. 1t is likely that further legislation
will be required at the hands Of Congress,
in order to confine the business of the pat

as proper to prevent a pauper, insane per-
son or criminal from reproducing his kind,
as it is to punish him.
