sist of a dessertspoonful of chopped
parsley or an ounce of chopped cooked
bacon or ham or a tablespoonful OF
grated cheese. Melt an ounce of butter
in the pan, and if it has not been clari-
fed, skim it. as any salt left in Will
spoil the omelet.
When the better is quite hot, pour in
the egg mixture, and stir vigorously
from all sides, so as to mix the butter

to set, leave off stirring, and when the
omelet is slightly colored on the SIDE

fold it over in half. and place 1T ON a
hot dish. Sometimes the bottom colors
before the top is set. In that case,
hold the pan before a good fire tor
second or two, but remember the top,
which will be the inside of the omeiet

This is a much easier way than that

that there is something in the natural adj
vantages of the State particularly IA
vorabe to supplying to the horse
strength, endurance and speed. the three
qualifications most necessary for an ideal
horse.
The many establishments in the State
devoted exclusively to breeding Of the
gentleman's driving horse, and the trot-
ter, show the interest in this industry,
as well as that many thousands of dol
lars are invested in it.
The height of the horse breeding indus
the great panic affected this branch of
business more disastrously, perhaps, than
any other in this section of the country
Conservative judges estimate that during
the most fiourishing years this industry
has brought into the State more than a
half million of dollars in a single year
The business is improving, and it is the
opinion of those best qualified to speak of
this matter, that the time is near at hand
when breeding of horses in Maine will
regain its lost vantage.
The annals of the development of the
horse breeding industry in Maine form
an account both interesting and impor-
tanr in the history of the State, and the
following facts and figures have been
carefully compiled, and are believed to
be as nearly correct as it is possible to
make them.

only another way of saying that as we
grow Older we care less for the glamour
of life, and more for the comforts, and so
we read the little epigram, with a smile
and sigh. II was all the loss and gain,
the price we pay for achieving common
sense.
Undoubtedly by the time woman has
learned TO appreciate a sensible gift she
has gained enormously in knowledge Of
how to make herself comfortable. says
the New Orleans Picayune. She has
found out, for one thing, that every joy
is cVanescent, that rapture is measured
by a moments Span that the rose with
ecs in your hand even while you gloat
over its lOveliness. but that, on the other
hand, there are many commonplace pleas
ures and a long time in which you can
be reasonably contented and happy
When she has learned to prefer beef
steaks TO chocolate creams, a new frock
To a jewel that has purely personal sig
nilcance, when she attains the point
when she would rather have new hand
kerChief than bunch of violets, she has
achieved common sense, and may con-
gratulate herself having passed the
whirlpools of life and being likely to
have calm sailing the rest of the voyage
Above all she has learned To take life
as she finds it, and not worry over the
inevitable. To young girl everything is
final. If anyone disappoints her she is
ready to believe friendship myth If
her new gown Is failure she feels that
life is a hollow mockery If she cannot
go on an outing, there is nothing else
worth living for. The older woman
makes no such mistakes. She knows that
a person may be a very agreeable ac-
quaintance, and afford her much pleasure
without being a model for a Damon and
Pythias friendship. She knows that ii
the thing one wanted to do IS not posi-
BILE something else will come up equa ly
as agreeable. She is seldom disappointed
in people or things, because she has
learned not TO expect the impossible.
But one cannot have ones cake and
eat it too. II one learns to appreciat.
sensible gifts one must pay something for
the knowledge. There was time WI en-
a tiascl favor il the german was rar-
ture when a jewel could span the world
with a rainbow of glory. when a flower
from the hand we loved breathed the
perfume of Araby and flooded the word
with joy. What could now give us such
pleasure? And our tired hearts answer

youthful rapture, the enthusiasm and we
know that if we have lost our ability TO
suffer we have also LOST our capacity for
enjoying. The thrill. the rapture, the
glamour and the encnantment, all belong
to the days when we didn't appreciate
sensible gift.

THE BACHELOR CROP.
Statistics Showing That Old Maids
Need Not Despair.

Heretofore bachelors have been con-
sidered choosers of their fate; old maids
its victims.
But the latest statistics reveal the
astonishing fact that there are 576,G ,G35
unmarried men in New York, and only
49, O62 unmarried women.
Cupid likes to practice on the tender
hearts of the young. He SHES but few
arrows al wtll-seasoned hearts. Be
tween the ages of seventeen and twenty
four 10 per cent of women marry, says
the New York World.
Between the ages of twenty and twenty
five there are for;y-onc unmarried men
to every twenty-s-Ven unmarried women.
That is the time when a woman may
have her pick. but ii doesn't last. Be
tween the ages of twenty-five and thirty
there are only twenty three available
men for every twelve women
Between the ages of thirty and thirty
five the list of bachelors who might sue
for her hand is only thirteen to every
seven women.
Then, when she gets TO be between
thirty-dve and forty-five. her possible
suitors are getting very scarce. There
are only nine men 10 every five women.
Afr forty-five 1t is case of nip-and-
tuck, as things are then about equal.
There may still be a poor. lorn bachslor
ready to lay his heart at the feet Of the
woman who nears her fiftieth milestone,
but he Is hard to find, and no statistics
will vouch for his existence.
If there are not enough eligibles here
to suit the New York girls fastidious
taste, and she wants more TO pick from
she can go to Idaho or Wyoming. In
those States there are ten bachelors to
every maid, while Arizona and Wash
ing,on have almost as many poor crea-
lures Of circumstances. who couldn't get
married if they wanted TO.
In these statistics divorced people,
widows and widowers. and all young
people of both sexes under seventeen, are
lef; out
From these tables il is plain that the
prevailing impression about widows IS
also true. They are dangerous rivals
for any girl, for one in every nine of wild
ows, between the ages of twenty and
thirty-fve, remarries. and the govern
ment annals show that widows between
twenty and ,wenty-four remarry much
oftener than spinsters of any age.
