WITH FLAVOR OF. BANANA
Omelet That 10 Somewhat Different
From the Kind Ordinarily
Served.

To make three-egg banana omelet,
separate the yolks and whites OF three
eggs and beat each separately. 1t is
easier to manage if one of the whites
is left out. Beat the whites to stiff
froth and season with a pinch of salt
and pinch of sugar.
In the meantime have in the frying
pan over a gas burner, turned down
almost to its lowest place, two table,
spoonfuls of sugar spread over the
bottom, except around the outer inch,
and on top of this one banana cut in
very thin slices.
AS the sugar commences to boil and
the banana to brown, lift from fire and
turn each slice Of banana. After this
has cooked a little on the turned side,
pour in the beaten yolks, and prick
them while they set, as in the case of
any omelet Then spread the whites
over them, and let cook about three
minutes longer before folding and
serving.
Just before the yolk is put to cook
some butter may be added, about a
teaspoonful, but, II carefully handled,
this will not be needed. The difficulty
is in keeping the sugar from burning.
II Just caramelized, 1t is delicious.

beautiful memory; better that than
bitter feelings.
On the other hand, there IL NO use
In brooding over the Happiness which
might have been. The realities Of life
are never what we have pictured they
would be. How many woman, had she
welded her first love, might not have
been so happy with him a. with tho
man, who eventually wooed and won
her when her heart was ripper and
sDe knew better how to appreciate .
good mans love There are many
people who fancy because q man re-
mains q bachelor late In life that he
is grieving over some old love affair.
The fact is he gives the old love but
q passing thought. When q sweet.
heart IL lost to q man by his marriage
to another, he philosophically con.
cludes that It's useless to cry over
split milk. II he thinks Of her at all,
while her memory Is still sweet to
him, he concludes that their parting
must have been for the best. Once
i'd q while we. hear Of old loves patch
ing up their differences in after years,
which shows. that there are some
hearts, after all, which cling to faded
romances. Love once disrupted is
never quite the same The rock which
they stumbled against in earlier life
must always be carefully avoided.
Young girls often become acquainted
with young men and proceed to fall In
love with them without encourage
ment. He takes his leave never to
cross her path again. The girls dis
appointment is great. For years she
continues to hold memory dear, when
she should not waste even a passing
thought upon him. The past Is past.
II the old love is ashes. SO let it rest.
Wise are the women who transfer
their affections from one who is not
thinking of them to the man who Is
present. Memory is poor food to feed
a lonely heart.

Care Of Brass.

longer it will last. II good brass bed

other polishing will be necessary.
When the lacquer does wear of and
the brass becomes dull, the proper
thing to do. is to send 1t to q good fac.
tory to be- rebuffed and relacquered.
Once in a while brass bed may be
wiped with a soft sponge wet with
slightly soapy water, wiped again with

ately with soft cheesecloth or a very
fine piece of channels skin.
II you drop acid on your clothes the

Sewing Wounded Hearts

+ A Russian surgeon named Zelder re-
ports 81 patients who recovered from
stab wounds of the heart in the hos.
pital at Obuchow.. Prompt and rapid
operation is the probable reason for
this good showing.
The patients were all put under the
influence Of ether very soon after the
injury, part Of the chest wall was re-
moved. the heart lifted from its bed.
and the stitches quickly introduced
between pulsations. The bony chest
wall over the heart was not put back
in place, that organ being covered only
by skin and muscle. This was done
to give the heart room to expand ana
to prevent adhesions from embarrass'
ing the hearts action. Several OF ING
patients are at their daily work AFTER
seven years since the operation.

Russia's Monster Aeroplanes.

A good deal has been heard concern
ing the British and German aero.
planes, but. the, great Sikorsky bi.
planes used by the troops Of the car
have been rather overlooked. These
machines, invented by a famous Rus.
sian named Sikorsky, are by far the
biggest aeroplanes being flown in the
warm fact; they are the largest in
the world. They stand 16 feet high,
and are about 100 feet wide. The
Sikorsky can carry almost as many
passengers as an airship. Twenty
men can be accommodated in the
large passenger cabin, which is con-
structed Of metal and contains numer-
GUS windows. In this machine three
engines are fitted, which give total
of nearly 1000 horsepower, for, ow-
ing to the Sikorsky biplane weigh
ing in itself one and half
tons, and having SO large a crew to
carry, it demands high power to pull
it off the ground and keep it in the
air.
The weight Of the machine has ne
cessitated an elaborate landing
chassis, composed of numerous
springs ard pneumatic tubes, so that
the huge biplane can alight safely on
rough ground at a speed of 60 miles
an hour.

Homemade Washer,

To wash heavy things such as
quilts and comforters often means
much back-breaking lifting. One
housekeeper ingeniously devised a
method of tightening her difficulties.
When she had put her heavy pieces
into the tub and soaked them we'll,
she took an ordinary lard pail and
made use of it for a suction washer,
pushing 1t, upside down, on the things,
thus drawing the soapy water through
them. When they were clean she lift
ed them, without wringing them, hung
them on the line and poured fresh wa
ter over them to rinse them. This
made them as clean, she found, as If
she had tired herself out with rubbing
them.
