LADY DUFFERIN IN INDIA.

1t is said that the devotion of the late Lord
Dufferin to his wife was one of the most beautiful
things imaginable. At a public meeting in Belfast
he once said, speaking of India: Lady Dufferin
ruled supreme indoors and shared considerable
proportion of my authority outside. 1 am bound
to say, however humiliating the confession may
be. that if there is thing more certain than
another it is that the memory of Lady Duferin
and the beneficial results of her laborS will still
live in India when the mere fact of my having
ever set foot there will have been forgotten"

OMELETS.

Omelets furnish one of the most wholesome and
satisfactory methods of serving eggs, but too few
housewives have learned the secret Of success in
perfect omelet cooking. for everything depends
upon the cooking. a frequent cause of failure is
in the use OF too many eggs at time. Four eggs
make an omelet easy to handle. II more are
needed II is better TO make second or even a
third one TO make a plain omelet, beat the eggs
thoroughly, not separating whites and yolks. Add
a tablespoonful of milk and satspoonfu of salt
for every egg Put teaspoonfu of butter on the
end of knife "a palette knife is best, but case
knife will do) and oil the omelet pan thoroughly
on bottom and sides. Turn in the egg mixture and
keen the pan in motion a hot part or the stove
so that one part will cook faster than an
other. When the eggs have become sufficiently
firm on the bottom of the pan run the knife care
fully under and loosen the omelet so that It VIII
easily slide TO and fro. Then cover for a minute
or two and raise the pan trihe from the stove
so that the bottom viii not scorch while the top
is setting" Slide the knife under fold the ONE

MANY people like the fluffy, snowlike appearance
that is given when the whites and yoks are beaten

as possible and fold them into the beaten yoiks.

A Stevenson Ghost Story.

An Indian named Timothy beat an.
other named Silas so severely at Cheno-
with last week that it was believed at
the time that the latter would die.
Sheriff Totten arrested Timothy and he
is now in jail awaiting theiresult of the
injuries. The trouble was over a salmon
Timothy believed Silas stole from him.
The blow was terrific. The weapon used
was square club about 3x3 and was
used with such force that it was splint-
cred by the blow.
Timothy don't like to be in Jail and
says he thinks when he gets out he will
have Silas arrested to see how he likes
it himself. Timothy says he is good
man, but that Silas is a confirmed
thief.
While lying in Jail Monday night Tim
othy says he was visited by the spirit Of
Green, who was hung in the jail yard
several months ago, He says the spook
first whistled softly and then lay down
on the foot of the bed, but when he
reached for him he could feel nothing.
The motion, however, disturbed the un.
easy ghost and it retired to one of the
little rooms adjoining. Ell. Green, who
was the next occupant of the Jail, and
who is spiritualist, said the murderer s
spirit would return, but he never claimed
to have seen it himself. The sheriff
takes no stock in the spook story and
says he will sleep in the jail some night
himself if Timothy complains about any
more visitations.-P Pioneer.

qeachers Meet for Pleasure and Profit.

To the Glacier THE Hood River
teachers association met Saturday, Oct.
Is, at the Barrett school. The associ-
atinn haying invited The Dalles teach
ers' association to meet with them, a
num0sr OF The Dalles teachers came
down to enjoy the day. A morning and
an afternoon session were held. Pro-
fessor A. ?. Armstrong Of the Portland
Business College gave two lectures on
educational topics which were much ap-
preciated. Artistic violin duets by the
Misses Lewis, followed by short busi-
ness session, closed the work of the
association. But the social features OF
the day will long live as pleasant memo
ries. At the close of the morning ses-
sion the teachers were ushered into one
OF the rooms previously y reserved. Those
indefinable feelings that creep over a
person when in the presence of rare
enjoyment mingled with the assurance
that "all good things are ours" as the
eye gazed on the dainty luncheon spread
before it. The luncheon table, in the
shape Of the letter 'T' was tastefully
decorated in pink and white with a
green background; tea roses and ferns
being chiefly used Hand painted china
held the good things until Superintend-
ent Gilbert started the sampling. All
principles of dieting were laid aside;
hungry appetites spiced with true good
wit meted no stingy justice to so de-
licious spread. The inner man being
appeased, the social hour was extended
in viewing the nice building and grounds
and absorbing anew the charms of Hood
River sunshine and scenery. Principal
J.. +. Bridges and assistants, Miss Cop
pie and Miss Markley, received the
hearty response Of appreciation from
those whom they had so delightfully."-
entertained
Besides their valuable social features,
these pleasant meetings are doing much
toward drawing our teachers into a.close
bond of unity in endeayor, and the new
force thus engendered finds its express
sion in the new life-blood OF the school,
The guests of the association were the
Misses Minnie Michel, Clement:ne
Hutchinson, Matte Mathews, Julia
Hill, Emma Roberts, Charlotte Roberts
and A. May Sechler, of The Dalles,
Professor A. p. Armstrong of Portland
and Superintendent Gilbert.
The next association meeting will be
held in the Hood River school Saturday,
October 25 at p. m.
