CHAPTER II.
A Meeting of the Cabinet.

8 At this time, the principality of
Graustark was in a most prosper
GUS condition. Its affairs were
under the control of an able min
istry, headed by the venerable
Count Halfont. The duke OF
Perse, for years a resident of St
Petersburg, and a financier OF
high standing, had returned to
Edeiweiss soon after the distress
ing death of the late Princess Ye-
tive and her American husband,
and to him was entrusted the
treasury portfolio. He at once pro-
ceeded to endear himself to the
common people by tie advocacy
of a lower rate of taxation; this
meant the reduction of the stand
ing army. He secured new and
advantageous treaties with old
and historic foes, putting Grau-
stark's financial credit upon a
high footing in the European
capitals. The people smugly re-
garded themselves as safe in the
hands of the miserly but honest
old financier. If he accomplished
many things by way of office to
enhance his own particular for
tune, no one looked askance, for
he made no effort to blind or de-
ceive his people. OF his honesty
there could be no question; of his
financial operations, 1t is enough
to say that the people were sat
isfied to nave their affairs linked
with him.
The financing of the great rail-
road project by which Edelweiss
was to be connected with the
Siberian line in the north, fell to
his lot at a time when no one
else could have saved the little
government from heavy losses or
even bankruptcy. The new line
traversed the country from Ser
ros, capital of Dawsbergen,
through the mountains and can
yons of Graustark, across AK
phain's broad steppes and low
lands, to point at which Russia
stood ready to begin a connecting
branch for junction with her great
line to the Pacific. All told, 1t
was a stupendous undertaking for
a small government to finance; it
is well known that Graustark
owns and controls her public
utility institutions. The road,
now about half completed, was to
be nearly two hundred miles In
length, fully two-thirds of which
was on Graustark territory. The
preponderance of cost of con-
struction fell upon that principal
ity, Dawsbergen and Axplain es-
gaping with comparatively small
owing to the fact that
they had few mountains to con-
tend with. As matter of fact,
the Dawsbergen and Axplain ends
of the railroad were now virtually
built and waiting for the compile
ton of the extensive work in the
Graustark highlands.

CHEESE AT BREAKFAST.


There is a use of cheese at breakfast
that should be more frequent than it is
namely. with eggs. and prefera bly, in the
form known as Swiss eggs. This was
the favoTite supper dish of the celebrated
Brillat SaVaTin- To make it you take Of
cheese-by preference Swiss cheese-a
quantity of the size of an egg; of butter
a quantity half the size of an egg, and
of eggs take three. This should be enough
for two people Put the eggs in a bowl
and add a tablespoonful of water for each
egg, as though to make an Omelette. Put
the butter in an omelettC pan and when
melted add the cheese in fragments and
allow it to melt in the butter. Stir the
eggs well and pour into the pan and stir
then until done. which should take only
a few minutes. Season with salt and
pepper. preferably papTika. This seems
to please almost everyone and has great
success as a breakfast dish.
Another use of cheese for breakfast
that should be popular is of the kind
known as sap sage. made in little cOnical
form and having a green color. The Ger
man name for this article is kreUter kase,
or herb cheese 1t is made in the canton
of Glarus. in Switzerland. from a mix
ture of skinned milk of the COW and the
goat together with buttermilk. The curd
for this cheese is brought down from the
mountains in bags by the herdsmen and
the little cheeses are finished in the val
ley. To each 100 pounds of the curd three
pounds of the powdered leaves of blue
mellotis. a fragrant plant akin to sweet
clover, is added. Tt is this herb that gives
the cheese green color and the peculiar
taste. It is said that more of this kind
of cheese is shipped to the United States
than to any other country. At breakfast
YOU put this cheese grated upon bread and
butter. and you will find 1t viii fill a
long-felt want 1t is improved, however,
by sprinkling the bread and butter so pre-
pared with fresh water cress cut up fine
~ by pair of shears. You will not re-
greet this simple breakfast dish.

SENATOR HEPBURN FAMOUS.

Senator Hepburn of Idaho has

He is now known as 1.-THE long-dis-

Wesley Gaines of the upper house. The
Tennessee member having been retired
from service at the other end of the

to himself in the way of attracting
attention to himself by making speeches
upon everything that comes up for con-
sideratiOn. As an example of the ex-
tent to which he INDUCES i'm this prac-
tice it is stated that wagers were laid
that his name would appear, in the Con-

firm the cabinet appointments of the

minutes The individuals who wagered
their money that the Idaho statesman
would manage to break into the pro-
ceedings I'm some way, shape or manner

Of the Sixtieth congress. Senator Till

opportunity to get into the Record pre-
