Lenten Dishes for Breakfast.

We suppose every one can make
a plain omelet. If only chopped
parsley is added, it makes change,
or chopped cold boiled ham. This
is especially a dish that will relish;
or chopped lobster or cold boiled
halibut or salmon, or little chopped
onion, o few spoonfuls of the solid
part of a can of tomatoes, some
grated cheese, some raw oysters or
some chopped CLAIMS that have been
cooked three minutes, or bits of
cauliflower, cooked, or the delicate
tips of cooked asparagus or green
corn, or even cooked scallops, chop
ped or dried beef, these added to
our omelet or our scrambled eggs
surely give variety and substance to
our morning meal.
The Italian style of cooking is
quite different from any other. Rub
together smoothly two spoonfuls of
flour with four ounces of butter in
saucepan, stirring continually.
When thick, stir in little boiling
milk, and season with salt and pep
per; add three ounces more of but
ter, and a little chopped parsley,
worked well together. Have ready
eight hard-boiled eggs, sliced, add
to the sauce, and serve hot.
A very ornamental dish of eggs
for the breakfast, or even the sup
per table, is made as follows: Care
fully separate the yolks, whole,
from the whites, beating the latter
to stiff froth, and piling it in sew
eral pyramids on a platter. With
a spoon make a depression in the
top of each pyramid, and carefully
lay in the yolk. Brown delicately
in the oven few moments, and
serve at once with dish of butter
ed toast, serving an egg upon slice.
There is no end to the number or
variety Of omelets a French chef
can make and serve in a short time
from the proverbial "nothing."
One spoonful of milk to an egg,
and Gone for good measure" is his
rule; so is "twelve strokes of the
spoon, and no more;" but the wee,
dainty bits of fish and meat and
such like edibles that he can utilize
is really marvellous, but he always
brings out something inviting and
that tastes delicious as we'll.

AFTER MANY YEARs.-A letter
undelivered after a lapse of over
eighty years was the odd find of Miss
Catharine Mahon, of Lenni, Della
ware county. While looking over
some old family papers recently Miss
Mahon came across a package of
letters that had belonged to her
grandmother. Among the collec-
ton was an old envelope, yellow
with age, which bore the superscrip.
ton "For my son, Hiram, should
he ever return" This was signed:
"Thaddeus Mahon," and as the
flap of the envelope bore large red
seal it could not be opened without
destroying the wrapper. Miss Ma
hon showed the letter to her father.
who remembered having heard his
father speak of a brother who had
left home suddenly during the war
of 1912. He never returned, and
before dying, old Thaddeus Mahon
had written the letter which Miss
Mahon had found. They decided
to open it, and, doing so, discover
ed note which read as follows
"July 18th, 1912.
"My Son Hiram Since you have

The inaugural Address.

The Inaugural address of Mr. Nc
Kinley has no particular merit. 1t is
fairly well expressed, but beyond his
statement that tariff taxes must be
laid at once, and his announcement
that he would call an extra session of
Congress for that purpose on the 18th
OF March, there is nothing definite and
certain in it. He did Tot mention
Cuba, and he made no statement as to
what would be his financial policy.
He has q word to say against trusts,
hit this uIterance will be the last
heard OF those platitudes. 1t is strange
with platform pledged to assist the
Cubans and the republican procHvity
for the annexation of territory, be
should not have mentioned the name
of that island. We therefore fear that
Mr.. Mckinley will not prove a strong
man, that he will occupy the same re-
tired and retiring attitude he mani
tested during the campaign. and will |
have managers and allow those mana
gers to shape the course of his move |
ments. Mr.. McKinly is blind enough |
to think his tariff views elected him,
when the money agitation overshadow
ed everything, and was really the only
issue in the campaign. If he succeeds
in having the tariff raised to Nc I
Kinley rates or anywhere near them,
the end of his term will see his pet
scheme the most dispised measure that
ever eminated from Congress, it will
be more odious than the stamp act,
and may cause a revolution greater
than that act caused. Taxation never
brought happiness. nor did it ever
cause prosperity, though many think
because the country was prosperous
under u high tariff. tariff led to The {
prosperity But if the object of Major {
Mckinley is to raise revenue sufficient !,
