Breakfast Dishes.

New York Tribune.
Now that eggs are unusually expensive,
and not at all reliable as to quality, even
when a high price is paid, many people who
ordinarily use them for breakfast are try
ing the various kinds of smoked fish as
substitutes Some of the most popular of
these are smoked sturgeon, salmon and
herring. Nearly all the smoked herring Of
fered in the markets are too salt for use
without some 'freshening," and a good
way to prepare herring or bloaters is the
following:
Broiled Herring: Cut off the head and tail
of the fish. and split it. Loosen the skin
near the neck with a knife, and holding
it firmly between the knife and finger, pull
it off. Split the fish with a sharp knife and
remove the backbone; then soak the pieces
for half a minute in water that is nearly
at the boiling point. Drain this off and
broil the pieces over a glowing fire.
Dreamed Smoked Haddock: ingredients:
one medium-sized paddock, one pint OF
milk, flour to thicken, butter the size of
an egg, salt and pepper to season and toast
to serve.
Boil the haddock for five minutes, then
remove the skin, backbone and small
bones and break the pieces of fish into
flakes
For the cream sauce heat the milk in
double boiler, thicken with -four, add sea
sOnng TO taste and stir in the butter. Put
in the flakes of fish, and when thoroughly
heated serve each portion on a round
toast. Some persons like smoked or salt
mackerel prepared in the same way.
Smoked salmon is too oily to lend itself
well to creamed dishes. 1t is usually cut
in thin slices and broiled. A better way
is to heat it in a sauce of melted butter,
which prevents it's drying and gives the
fish a more delicate flavor.
Smoked sturgeon should be cut in thick
slices and is good fried or brOiled. This
fish is sold in large pieces, which can be
sliced to any desired thickness. In Sc
lecting a piece care should be taken that
ii has a moist appearance inside. This can
be ascertained by cutting off one slice.

Officers Taylor and Dulin had a lit

which occasionally enters into the life
of a policeman to give it spice and
break the monotony incidental to the
patrolling of a beat.
The day before Mr.. Taylor arrested
a man named Haker for committing a
nuisance and locked him up. The
prisoner had a friend who gave a cash
bond of SIS for his appearance and at
ter being kept in confinement for a
little over an hour Haker was releas-
ed, with the understanding that he
was to appear the following morning
for trial. The man who went his Sc.

was the possessor of some teams and
other property, but subsequently he
said he had been informed that Hakel
had disposed of his belongings and
would probably try to leave the city

PHILIPPINE GOODS
Mr.. Gage Thinks Prevent Tariff Law
Needs Little Revision.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The cabinet meet
ing to-day was principally devoted to a
discussion Of the insular decisions handed
down yesterday by the suprem court. 1t
is believed the majority opinions of the
court were in most respects satisfactory
to the administration. 1t was pointed out
that the ultimate results of the decisions
are in measure speculative, except that
the customs duties collected in this coun-
try on goods shipped from the Philippines
since the ratification Of the Paris treaty
will have to be refunded. 1t is not
thought, however, that the aggregate will
be large, and Secretary Gage expects that
it will be less than million dollars.
He called attention to the fact that the
great portion of the imports from the
Philippines are admitted free under our
general tariff laws, notably hemp, which
is leading staple.
The present Philippines tariff, Mr.. Gage
thinks, will need little or no revision
1t was prepared after the most thorough
investigation and is said to be highly
satisfactory to the business interests of
the islands. The preparation of tariff
on Philippine importations into the Unit
ed States, however, Is expected to con-
sumo considerable of the time of congress,
but there is expectation that, pending a
final settlement congress by Joint resolu-
tion may continue the duties imposed by
the Dingley tariff and thus, cut off food
of imports which might follow the an
nouncement that all duties were removed.

ton and Montana will probably cooperate.
and 1t may be thought best to bring Diff
ferent sort Of action in each state, to in
crease the chance of success.
Governor Van SAINT goes to Chicago to-
night to attend the convention Of the Ma
tional Live Stock association. He Is on
the program for an address. He will re-

likely that legal proceedings will begin
for a week or ten days.
