A New Way to Cook Eggs.

A friend long resident In France and
familiar with the various omelets and
soufflss made there recently tried An ex-
pertinent In her American homo, which
proved a marked success.
1t Is q dish of eggs resembling both
baked omelet and souf1e. She takes
fresh eggs and breaks them together,
adding a tablespoonful Of cold water for
every two eggs, little salt and some
rather fne-chopped parsley. This COM
bination is whisked very little, perhaps
about six times, and poured into but
tered agate dish. For six eggs she uses
one about the size of . large coffee
saucer. This she places low over the
burners OF her gas oven, lighting two
burners after she has put the dish In.
As soon as the eggs have risen we'll up
to the top OF the high dish, turn on one
burner, and as soon as we'll set, turn on
the other, leaving the eggs in few min
utes longer. They must not remain over
twenty minutes at the most, and often
fifteen will be enough, depending upon
the flow Of gas.
The lower crust is tender, not hrm,
and the center is fiaky, neither ike
scrambled egg, nor is it wholly like
omelet.
The parsley gives it q good taste; pep
per may be added, also, with the salt,
and red pepper, for those who like 1t,
mixed with either white or black pep
per.
Also, one may add chopped red or
green sweet pepper, some onion, or
chives; or rub the bowl In which the
eggs we're beaten with garlic. Sweet
herbs may be used according to taste;
and since families and persons vary go
much in their likes and dislikes no set
cor binatiOns are given.
Chervil mixed with the parsley is nice,
and sweet basil, summer savory, thyme,
etc, may be used.
To make sweet course for a lunch.
con, add some candied cherries and
make a sauce of the liquid to serve al
the table. Add Sugar to sweeten, If de-.
sired, or sprinkle the top with sugar and
score with hot iron in the foreign and
old -fas hioned way, II desired, but the
crust Of this dish on top 10 very attract

Serious Error In South Paris
South Paris Citizens Will Do Well
to Profit by the Following.

Many fatal cases OF kindey disease
have reached an incurable stage because
the patient did not understand the

there are many residents making the

mysterious aches and pains to overw0rk,

Cooking Rice.

Direc ions for cooking rice usually say
that the water should be boiling, when
the rice 10 added. and that It should be
cooked fast, but that 10 not tho way 1t 10
done In Brasil, where the perfectly
cooked rice is one of the chief articles OF
diet. The BRAZILIAN cook uses one part
Of rice TO four parts Of cold water, salt
ed. Its brought to boil and cooked
very slowly for three hours. Every par.
tiole of water is absorbed, the rice Is
thoroughly cooked, and each grain
stands BY itself. Rice cooked In this
way is very different from the mushy
dish usually served 10 this country. A
fireless cooker Is ideal for cooking rice,
for it simplifies the long slow cooking
that Ia needed. Since / returned from
Brazil have been interested to hear q
celebrated sp cialist for babies recon.
mend this Brazilian method as the ideal
way to prepare rice for babies. None OF
the uutrlment is wasted, ~ II 10 whom
the water 10 not all absorbed. The
brown, unsecured rice should be used, u
possible, aud fortunately 1t Is getting
more common in this country.

Should there be large potatoes on

cut off ends SO they will stand. All
pieces cut out of the centres for cups,
or from the ends, need not be wasted.
