TO MAKE AND COOK OMELETs.
Some Directions Which May he New
to Most Young Housewives
and Cooks,

Omelets may be considered as of
two kinds, omelets and omelet sour-
fles. In the first whole eggs are
used; in the second the whites are
separated and added in froth. The
omelet pan should be of fairly thick
material with rather sloping and
shallow sides, so that knife can
easily be slipped around; it must be
kept exclusively for the one purpose,
if taken for indiscriminate frying
the omelets suffer. 1t should be kept
clean by wiping while still hot with
paper, and then a dry cloth, but
should never be washed, as water
renders it more liable to catch and
burn, says American Queen.
The butter used for frying is incor-
porated during the cooking with the
eggs; it should therefore be unsalt-
ed, and must not be allowed to be-
come overheated, as the slightest
browning of the butter will spoil
both appearance and taste. Salt but
ter is more liable to burn, and also
gives rough and rather bitter taste,
anu III ali SWtGb OlHt1tbS, dU any
rate, the salt is in excess.
The eggs for the omelet require to
be well beaten, but not overmuch, as
if much froth is formed it separates
from the liquid too easily and the
mixture does not set sufficiently for
folding. If the omelet souffle, how
ever, the yoll<s require little beating,
hr,t No nh l..
stiff They must be freshly whipped
and used at once. The mixing of the
yolks and seasonings with the whites
is point on which special care must
be taken, for if roughly handled the
whites are broken and watery, while
if not thoroughly blended they sepa-
rate and cook in tough pieces, UNI
pleasant to taste, and leaving the
omelet unaffected by their light
ness.
Both kinds should be quickly
| cooked, but the omelet soutfle re-

STORY FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
One Time When Lord Kitchencr's
Quick Judgment Was a Little
nj Fault.

A story that illustrates the danger
of making overhasty judgments OF
men is told in the Navy and Army IL
Illustrated. 1t may or may not be strict
ly true, but nj any rate it is amusing.
1t seems that Lord Kitchener, about
year ago, made trip along the rail
road between Johannesburg AND
Bloemenstein, fitting out eXtemporary
columns of mounted infantry to chase
away the enemies who We're threaten
ing his communications At one of the
stations, NredfoFt Rad, he found
some waits and strays from various
regiments, who seemed to have pQth-
ing particular to do; and as this was
a state of things of which he strongly
disapproved, he decided to send them
into the field at once. Going to the
waiting-room, to look for officers,
he found there only one man--n smart,
well-dressed individual, who found i'm
mediate favor in the eyes OF the COM
mander in chief.
'Nouwill command a corps OF mount.
ed infantry I've just formed" said
Lord Kitchener, who is of all things q
man of quick judgment and prompt
action.
Very good, sir; what will my duties
be?"
Don't you know your duties?"
Eyes, sir-my own"
"Then don't argue. What is your
regiment?"
"Blanishires, SIR"
what rank?' -
Master tailor, sir"
Lord Kitchener suddenly discovered
that he had business elsewhere.
