KEY.DK. talmage. r ' IHE BROOKLYX DIVINE'S SUN DAY SEKJIOX. Subject: "3Iend the Nets." Text: "James the son of Zebedee. and John his brother, in a shiv with Zebedee their father, mending their nets." Mat thew ivM 21. "I go a fishing," cried Simon Peter to his conara'le.s, and t e most of the apostles had hands hard from fishing tackle. The fish eries of the world have a. ways attracted attention. In the Third century the que?u of Egypt had for pin money four hundred and seventy thousand dollars, received from the fisheries of Lake Moeris. And if the" time should ever come when the immensity of the world's population couJd not hi fed by the vegetables and meats of the land, the eea has an amount of animal life that would feed all the populations of the earth, and fatten them with a food that by its phos phorus would make a generation brainy and intellectual beyond anything that the world has ever imagined. My text takes us among the Galilean fishermen. One daj, Waiter Scott, while hunting in an old drawer, found among some old fishing tackle the' manuscript of his immortal book "Waver ley' whic h he had put away there as of no worth, and who knows but that to-day we may find ome unknown wealth of thought while looking at the fishing tackle in tne textV It is not a good day for fishing, and three men are in tne boat repairing the broken fishing nets. If you are fishing with a hook and line and the fish will not bite it is a good time to put the angler's apparatus into better condition. Perhaps the iasfc fish you hauled in was so large that something snapped. Or if you were fishing with a net there was a mighty floundering of the scales, or an ex posed nail on the side of the boat which broke some of the threads and let part or all of the captives of the deep escape into their natural element. And hardly anything is more pro voking than to nearly land a sc-ore or a hun dred of trophies Jrom the deep and when you are in the mil glee of hauling in the spotted treasures through some imperfection of the net they splash back into the wave. This is too much of a trial of patience for most fishermen to endure, and many a man ordinarily correct of speach in such circum stances comes to an intensity of utterance unjustifiable. Therefore no good fisherman considers the time wasted that is spent in mending his net. Now the Bible again :m1 again represents Christian workers as fish ers of men, and we are all sweeping through the sea of nummity some kind of a net. In deed, there hve been enough nets out and enough fishermen busy to nave landed the whole human race in the kingdom of God long before this. "What is the matter? The Gospel is all right, and it has been a good . time for catching souls for thousands of years. Why, then, the failures? The trou ble is with the nets, and most of them need to be mended. I propose to show you what is the matter with most of the nets and how to mend them. In the text oA Zabedee and his two boys, James and John, were doing a good thing when they sat in the boat mend ing their nets. The trouble with, many of our nets is that the meshes are too large. If a fish can get his gills and half his body through the net work, he tears and rends and works his way out and leaves the place througtt winch he squirmed a tangle of broken tiireads. The Bible weaves faith and works right together, i LUC 1U 11 Li I I. LLltJ VJILJOlJUJ, llUlCUUSUC UIIVA forgiveness. Some or our nets have meshes so wide that the sinner floats in and out and is not at any moment caught for the heavenly lauding In our desire to make everything so easy, we relax, we loosen, we widen. We let men after they are once in the Gospel net escape into the world and go into indulgences and swim all aroun 1 Galilee, irom north side to south side and from east side to west side,' expecting that they will come bacs again. We ought to make it easy for them to get into the kingdom of God, and, as far as we can, make it impossible for them to get out. The poor advice nowadays to many is: "Go and do just as you did before you were captured for God an 1 heaven. The net was not intended to b3 any restraint or any hindrance. What you did before you were a Christian, do now. Go to all styles of amusement, read all the styles of books, en gage in all the styles of behavior as before you were converted." And so through these meshes of permission and laxity they wriggle out through this opening and that opening, tearing the net as they go, and soon all the souls that we expected to land in heaven be fore we know it are back in the deep sea of the world. Oh, when we go a-Gospel fishing let us make it as easy as possible for souls to get in, and as ha rd as possible to get out. There should be no rivalry between churches. Each one does a work peculiar to itself. There should be no rivalry between ministers. God never repeats Himself, and He never makes two ministers alike, and each one has a work that no other man in the universe can accomplish. If fishermen are wise, ther will not allow their nets to en tangle, .or if tney accidentally get inter twisted, the work of extrication should be kindly and gently couducteJ. What a glad spectac.e for men and angels when on our recent dedication day ministers of all de nominations stood on this platform and wished f c r each other widest prosperity and usefulness, but there are cities in this coun try where there is now going on an awful ripping and rending and tearing of fishing nets. Indeed, all over Christendom at this time there is a great war going on between fiskerinen, ministers against ministers. Kow I nave noticed a man cannot fish and tight at the same time. He either neglect his net or his musket It is amazing ho much time some of the fishermen have tc look after other fishermen. It is more than I can do to take care of my own net. You see the wind is just right, and it is such a (jfecod time for fishing, and the fish are com ing in so rapidly that I have to keep iy ey and hand busy. There are aoout two 'hun dred million souls wanting to get into thf kingdom of God, and it will require all tin nets and all the boats and all the fishermen of Christendom to safely land them. Oh, brethren of ministry! Let us spend our time in fishing instead of fighting. But if I angrily jerk my net across 3-our net, and you jerk your net angrily across mine, we will soon have two broken nets aninotish. The French revolution nearly destroyed the French fisheries, and ecclesiastical war is the worst thing possible whilo hauling souLi into the kingdom. I had hoped that th millennium was about to dawn, but the lion is yet too fond of the lamb. My friends, I notice in the text that James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, were busy not mending somebody else's nets but mend ing their own rets, and I rather think that we who are engaged in Christian work in this latter part of the nineteenth century will require all our spare time to mend our )wn necs. God help us in the important luty! In this work of reparation we need to put ato the nets more threads of common sens. Vhen we can present religion as a great practicality we will catch a hundred souls Vhere now we catch one. Present religion san intellectuality and we will fail. Out & the fisheries there are set across tut waters what are called gill nets, and the fish put their heads through the meshes and then cannot withdraw them becaus3 they are caught by the gills. But gill nets cannot be . of any service in religious work. Men are never caught for the truth by their heads; it is by the heart or not at all. No argument ever saved a man, and no keen analysis ever brought a man into the kingdom of God. Heart work, not head work. Away with your gill nets ! Sympathv. hlnfulness. con solation, love, are the names of some of the threads that we need to weave in our Gospel nets when we are mending them. Again, in mending our net3 we need also to put in the threads of faith and tear out all the tangled meshes of unbelief. Our work is successful according to our faith. The man who believes in only half a Bible, or the Bible in spots; the man who thinks h9 can not persuade others; the man who halts, doubting about this and about that, will be a failure in Christian work. Show me the man who rather thinks that the garden of Eden may have been an allegory, and is not quite certain but that there may be another chance after death, and does not know whether or not the Bible is inspired, and I tell you that man for soul saving is a poor stick. Faith in God and in Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost,and the absolute nec3sitv of a regenerated heart in order to see God in peace, Is one thread you must have m yonr mended net or you will never be a successful fisher for men. Why. how can you , doubt? The hundreds of millions of men and wo men now standing in the church on earth, and the hundreds of millions in heaven,attest the power of the Gospel to save. With more than a certainty of a mathematical demon stration, let us start out to redeti all nations. The rottenest thread you are to tear out of your net is unbelief, and the most imoortant thread you are to put in it is faith. Faith in God, triumphant faith, everlasting faith. If you cannot trust the infinite, the holy, th omnipotent Jehovah, who can you trust? Oh, this important work of mending our nets! if we 'could get our net3 right we would accomplish more in soul-saving in the next year than we have m the last twntr years. But where shall we get them mended? Just where the old Zebedee and his two boys mended their nets where you are. "James, why don't you put your oar in Lake Galilee, or hoist your sail and lan I at Capernaum or Tiberias or Gardara. and seated on the bank mend your net? John, wiiv don't you go ashora an 1 mead your net? No, they sat on the guards of the boat, or at the rrow of thebiat, and they took un the thread and the neadle, and the ropes and the wooden blocks, and went to work: sew ing, sawing; tying, tying; weaving, weaving; pounding, pounding, until, the net mendei, they push it off into the sea and drop paddle and hoist sail, and the cutwater went through amid the shoals of fish, some of the descendants of which we had for breakfast one morning while we were encamped on the beach of beautiful Galilea. James and John had no time to go ashore. They ware not fishing for fun, as you and I do in summer time. It was their livelihood and that of their families. They mended their nets where they were, in the ship "Oh," says someone, "I mean to get my net mended, and I will go down to the public library, and I will see what the scientists say aboutevolution and about 'the survival of the fittest,1 and I will read up what the theologians say aboub 'advanced thought.' will leave the ship awhile, and will go ashore and stay there until my net is mended." Do that, my brother, and you will have no net left. Instead of their helping you mend your net, they will steal the pieces that re main. Better stay in the Gospel boat, where you have all the means for mending your net. What are they, do you ask? I answer all you need you have where you are, namely, a. Bible and a place to pray. The more you study evolution, and adopt what is called advanced thought, the bigger fool you will be. Stay in the ship ami mind your net. That is where J araes the son of Zebedee and John his brother staid. That is where all who get their nets mended stay. These dear brethren of all denominations, afflicted with theological fidgets, had better go to mending nets instead of br eating them. Before they break up the old r eligion and try to foist on us a new religion let them go through some reat sacrifice for Go I that iviW prove them worthy for suea a work, taking the advice of Talleyraal to a man who wanted to upset the religion of Jesus Christ and start a new one, when hs said: "Go and be crucified and then raise yourself from the grave the third day !" Those who propose to mend their nets by secular skep tical books are just like a man who has just one week for fishing, and six of the days he spends in reading Isaak Walton's "Complete Angler," and Wheatley's "Rod and Line," and Scott's "Fishing in Northern Waters," and Pullman's "Vade Mecum of Fly Fishing for Trout," and then on Saturday morning, his last day out, goes to the river to ply his art, but that day the fish will not bite, and late on Saturday night he goes home with empty basket and a disappointed heart. Meanwhile a man who never saw a big library in all his life, has that week caught with an old fishing tackle, enough to supply his own table and the table of all his neigh bors, and enough to salt down in barrels for the Ions winter that will soon come in. Alas! Alas ! If, when the Saturday night of our life drops on us it shall be found that we have spent our time in the libraries of worldly philosophy, trying to mend our nets, and we have only a few souls to report as brought to God through our instrumentali ty, while some humble Gospel fisherman, his library made up of a Bible and an almanac, shall come home laden with the results, his trophies the souls within fifteen miles of his log cabin meeting house. J n the time of great disturbance in Naples in 1649 Massaniello, a bare footed fishing boy, dropped his fishing rod, and by strange magnetism took command of that city of six hundred thousand souls. He took off his fish ing jacket and put on a robe of gold in the presence of howling mobs. He put his hand on his lip as a signal, and they were rent. He waved his hand away from him, and they .retired to their homes. Armies passed in re view before him. He became the nation's idol. The rapid rise and complete supremacy of that young fisherman, Massaniello, has no parallel in all history. But something equal to that and better than that is an everyday occurrence in heaven. God takes some of those, who in this world were fishers of men, and who toiled very humbly, but because of the way they mended their nets and employed their nets after they were mended, and suddenly hoists them and robes them and scepters them and crowns them and makes them rulers over cities, and He marches armies of saved ones before them in review, Massaniellos unhonored on earth, but radiated in heaven. The fisher boy of Naples soon lost his power, but thosa people of God who kept their nets mended and rightly swung them shall never lose their ex alted place, but shall reign forever and ever and ever. Keep that reward in sight. But do nos spend your time fUhiug with hoo'c and line, why did not James, the sor of Zebedee, sit on the wharf atCana, his feet hanging over the lake .an 1 with a long pole and a worm on the hooi dipped into tha wave, wait for some mullet to swim up and be caught? Why did not Zebedee soend his afternoon trying to catch one eel? No; that work was too slow. Thesar men were not mending a hook and line; they were mend ing their nets. So let the church of God not be content with havinr here one soul and next month another soul brought into the kingdom. Sweep all the seas with nets scoop nets, seine nets, drag nets, all encom- Eassing nets and take the treasures in y hundreds and thousands and millions, and nations be born in a day,aad the hemispheres quake with the tread of a ransoming God. Do you know what will be the two most tremendous hurs in our heavenly existence? Among the quadrillions of ages which shall roll on, what two occasions will be to us the greatest? The day of our arrival there will be to us one of the two greatest. The second great est, I think, will be the day when we shall have put in parallel lines before us what Christ did for us and what we did for Christ the one so great, the other so little. That will be the only embarrassment in heaven. My Lord and my God ! What will we do and what will we say when on one side are placed the Saviour's great sacrifices for us and our small sacrifices for Him Mis exile, His humiliation, His agonies on one hand, and our poor weak, insufficient sacrifices on the other? To make the contrast less over whelming, let us quickly mend our nets and like the Galilean fishermen may we be divine ly helped to cast them on the right side of the ship. PLUCKY QUEEN NATALIE. She is Draped From Her Home by the Servian Government. The Prefect of Belgrade, Servia, who was charged by the Regents with the duty of expelling ex-Queen Natalie from Servian territory, went to the latter's residence the other day, and, in spite of her earnest pro tests compelled her to t-nter a carriage which drove toward the quay on the Danube where the royal yacht was moored The news that the ex-Queen was really to be expelled from Servia had, in the mean time, spread throughout Belgrade and had reached the students' quarters. The latter promptly turned out in force, and as the carriage containing the unhappy lady was being driven toward the Danube, it was surrounded by a crowd of students who seized the Worses' heads, brought the vehicle to a stand still and loudly cheered the royal prisoner The students then detached the horses from the carriage and dragged the ex-Queen, who remained seated in the Prefect's conveyance, back to her residence, cheering loudly as they passed through the streets. The Prefect, assisted by a force of gen darmes, tried in vain to regain possession of the ex-Queen, but the students escorted her to aer residence in spite of all the efforts made to prevent them. On their way there, how aver, several collisions took place between the gendarmes and the students, but the lat ter came off victorious. The citizens and merchants generally side with the ex-Queen . The residence of Natalie is defended by students. Intense excitement prevails. A conflict occurred that afternoon, the troops firing upon the Queen's support srs, killing. two and wounding many others. PLEASURE SEEKERS DROWN Cight Go Sailing on the Schuylkill; Only Five Return. Thre9 lives were lost by the upsetting of a sailboat on the Schuylkill River, off Gibson's Point, in the lower section of Philadelphia. The victims were Mrs. Susan Pascoe and her infant son and Miss Mary Carr. There were aiso in the party Fred Tidman, Samuel Peltz, Robert Chamberlain and Mrs. Mary Jones, a twin sister of Mrs. Pascoe, and her four-year-old son William. The party started out for a sail down the river, Tidman, the owner of the boat, act ing as sailing-master. In an attempt to "go about" the ropes became tangled around Chamberlain's feet and the boat upset. The three men are all good swimmers and the)' succeeded in getting the women and children on to the bottom of the upturned boat, but they became hysterical and frequently got into the water. Finally, Mrs. Pascoe, with her infant and Miss Carr, sunk. After drifting about for some time those still clinging to the boat were rescued. Mrs. Pascoe's body was recovered about an hour afterward. She held her child tightly clasped in her arms. DISPERSED THE POSSE. A Desperado Kills a Deputy Sherift ana a Policeman and Gets Away, It became known the other day that Bol Brewster who started the Jesup (Ga.) riots last year, was in Fernandina, Fla., and that night Deputy Sheriff Joe Robinson informed Chief of Police Higginbotham. They organ ized a posse of eight men, and at daybreak they surrounded the house where he was and demanded surrender. The colored desperado answered the demand by poking a Winchester rifle through the window end firing at Robinson, the ball striking just below his hearc and killing him instantly. As Robinson fell the the Winchester barked again, and Policeman Bud Higginbotham was sent to the ground by a bullet through his thigh. Shot after snot was then fired by the desperado, but fortunately without effect. The posse had to seek shelter. Firing continued for an hour. After fir. ing all his cartridges, Brewster made a dash for liberty and succeeded in getting to the woods, the posse being too small to follow him. EDISON'S CONJURY. Wonders Which He Has in Store for Musicians and "Sports." Thomas A Edison arrived in Chicago When asked if he had an electric novelty in store for the Columbian Exposition, he said "I have a thing in view, but the detail! are yet somewhat hazy. My intention is tc have such a happy combination of photo graphy and electricity that a man can sit in his own parlor and see depicted on a curtain the forms of the players in opera on a dis tant stage and hear the voices of the singers. When the system is perfected, which will be in time for the fair, each little muscle of the singer's face will be seen to work, every color of his attire will be exactly reproduced, and the stride and positions will be natural and will vary as do those of the person him self. "To the sporting fraternity I will state that ere long this system can be applied to prize fights. The whole scene, with the noise of the, blows, talk, etc., will be truthfully transferred. Arrangements can be made to send views of the mill a la stock and race ticker." Grandmother Coxxelit, 110 years old was burned to death in her home at Beaver Me mow, Peun., on a recent night. Rather than submit to the supposed indignity of going to the almshouse, she set fire to the bed clothing upon which she lay. The Iceland Stanford, Jr., University, in California, will start with only fifteen teach ers, seven of whom only are full professors. SHOWING THEM THE TOWN. HELPING; STRANGERS TC SEB A GREAT CITY'S SIGHTS. The Work Which is Done by "Cha peron Bureaus A New and Ue lul Feature of Metropolitan Life. The time has passed for the "unpro tected female" to look forward to a visit to New York with fear and trembling-. She need not wait the convenience of any male relative, or write imploring letters to city friends asking to be met and taken in just when their spare rooms are full, or they are planning a trip to Lakewood. All she has to do is to send a postal card to the chaperon bureaus a comparatively new feature in New York, though long familiar in London saying when she is coming and in what part of the city she desires to stay. Then she checks her trunk and starts, with no more thought for the morrow than a lily of the field. On arriving at the station she is met by an attractive-looking woman in a tailor-made gown, who wears a little knot of blue and white ribbons on her left breast. This is the professional chaperon, and in less than no time bag gage checks have changed hands, a di rection has been given to an expressman, and both women are on their way to the comfortable boarding house where rooms haxe been ensued. During the journey the chaperon chats easily, points . ..1., r t. 1 ' : I uuu pmues ut mud est uu inquires whether the visit is for shopping, pure and simple, or for amusement, ia the sense ol sight-seeing and meeting with friends. Su2h attentions are especially needed by quite young girls, and most of all, perhaps,, by elderly women who have outlived the love of experiment and adventure. Arrived at the boarding house, the chaperon settles all preliminaries, and either gives her charge such bits of in formation as may make her independent in going about town, or promises to call at any time she may be needed, either ending the connection then and there or becoming guide, philosopher and friend for the whole of the stay. If the stran ger be disinclined to look after herself, the chaperon knows what is going on at every theatre in town, when the trains leave for everywhere, which line of street cars is most convenient, where every one lives, and all about picture galleries, libraries and places of interest. She takes the visitor over the Brooklvn Bridge, to the top of the big buildings, and let's her grip her (the escort's) arm black and blue when they whisk round a curve on the elevated railroad. She nearly walks her feet of! from shop tc shop after bargains, f ud gives her opinion about bonnets and gowns when desired. All this time she is bright ai:d amiable, lever shows herself bored or wearied, Jnd gracefully ignores the fact that she is earning her living by "knowing her New York," and is an agreeable com panion at so much an hour. The announcement of the chaperon bureaus, "All legitimate service promptly rendered," scarcely expresses the nuuibei of things the energetic women in charge do for travelers. They have nicely ap pointed dressing rooms, where a refiesh ing bath may be had, or hair dressed and a different gown assumed if an evening entertainment is to follow the day's shopping. Parcels are received and sent over to the station in time for the train, telegrams are dispatched, letters are typewritten and appetizing lunch baskets are packed; stewardesses are tipped, parlor car tickets are secured and the novel bought to read on the way. Alladin's lamp seems to have materialized in those modest offices, so promptly is the 'Certainly, madarae, in fifteen minutes," heard in answer to al most any request. The lists of available chaperons arc classified according to age, religious be lief and temperament, so that a congenial companion is assured, and the most con servative need fear no jarring remark or suggestion. With a laudable desiie to have plenty of irons in the fire, the managers of these bureaus recommend dressmakers, let rooms, do shopping on commission, retail Turkish bath tickets, sell some of them investment securi ties and place advertisements in news papers, all at so reasonable a fee that it is a temptation to let them do all things down on their catologue just for the fun4 of it. The most amusing part of it all is that one bureau keeps a list of men divinity students and steady college boys who will perform all the above-mentioned services for the youthful visitor from the rural regions, without once calling him "hayseed" or letting him find out how frightfully his coat is cut. New York Recorder. A Snail's l ace." 'A snail's pace" need not be used any longer as a term more or less in definite. By an interesting experiment at the Florence Polytechnic Institute a few days ago the pace was acertained ex actly and reduced to figures, which may now be used by persons who favor the use of the exact-terms. A half a dozen of the mollusks were permitted to crawl between two points ten feet apart, and from this the average pace was ascer tained. In working the calculation into feet, yards, rods, furlongs and miles it was found that it would take a small snail exactly fourteen days to crawl a mile St. Louis Republic. Spain and Morocco will be united bj cable. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. CLEArXO WINDOWS. Cleaning windows is an important part of the work in the routine of housekeep ing, and while it does not &eem a diffi cult task to keep the gUss clear and bright it nevertheless requires a knowl edge c( what not to ao. Never wash windows when the sun is shining upon them, otherwise they will be cloudy and streaky from drying before they are well polished oil; and never wash the out side of the window first if you wish to save trouble. Dust the glass and sash and wash the window inside, using a little ammonia in the :ter; wipe with a cloth free from lint and polish off with soft paper. For the corners a small brush or pointed stick covered with one end of the cloth is useful. When you come to the glass outside the defects remaining will be more closely seen. Wipe the panes as soon as possible after washing and rinsing and pol;sh with either chamois or soft paper. In rins ing one may dash the water on the out side or use a large sponge. It is prefer able to a cloth. -r-AVtP York World. CAKE OF CtllN.VWAUK. One of the most important things is to season glass and china to sudden change of temperature, so that they will remain sound after exposure to sudden heat and cold. This is best done by placing the articles in cold water, which must gradu ally be brought to the boiling point and then allowed to cool very slowly, taking several hours to do it. The more com mon the materials the more care in this respect is required. All china that has any gilding upon it may on no account bo rubbed with a cloth of any kind, but merely rinsed first in hot and afterward in cold water and left to drain till dry. It may be rubbed with a soft wash leather and a little dry whiting, but this ojera tion must not be repeated more than once a year, otherwise the gold will most cer tainly be rubbed otf ami the china spoiled. When the plates, etc., are put away in the chiua closet pieces of papci should be placed between them to pre vent scratches on the glaze or painting, as the bottom of all ware has little par ticles of sand adhering to it, picked up from the oven wherein it was glazed. The china closet should be in a dry situa tion, as a damp closet will soon tarnish the gilding of the best crockery. In a common dinner service it is a great evil to make the plates too hot, as it invari ably cracks the glaze on the surface, if not tho plate itself. The fact is when the glaze is . injured every time the 'things" are washed the water gets to the interior, swells the porous clay and makes the whole fabric rotten. In this condition they will also absorb grease, and when exposed to further heat th grease makes the dishes brown and dis colored. If an old, ill used dish be made very hot indeed a teaspoonful of fat will be seen to exude from the minute fissures upon its surface. These latter remark! apply more particularly to common wares. Glauware Jieporter. hecipes. Hollandaise Sauce Cream a half cup ful of butler, add the yolks of two eggs and beat well, then add the ju;ce of hall a lemon, on saltspoonful of salt and a few grains of cayenne. Just before serving add slowly one third of a cupful of boiling water and cook over hot water till slightly thick. This sauce, if well made, is particularly nice to serve with fish. Virginia Pudding Scald one quart of milk and pour it grauually on three tablespoonfuls of flour. Add yolks of six eggs and whites of two and grated rind of one, lemon. Bake about twenty minutes or until well set and put away to cool. Beat the whites of four eggs to a stiff froth with a coffee-cup of powdered sugar; add juice of the lemon. Pour over the pudding when it is quite cold. Haggi3 Haggis 4 'stuffed in a bladder and boiled. in a pan" is what is eaten in bonnie Scotland. To an even cupful of oatmeal (which must be soaked all night in water) allow half a cup ol raisins, washed and stoned ; the same quantity of dried currants, three of mutton suet, chopped fine, and a little salt. Mix well with sufficient water to form a stiff paste, fill a sausage bladder with it, tie up tightly and boil. Plain Omelette Break six eggs into a bowl, beat them very light and add six tablespoonfuls of hot water. Have an iron saucepan, about eight inches in diameter, hot, and melt in it one table spoonfui of butter. Pour ia the eggs and shake the saucepan vigorously until the mixture thickens. Let it stand a minute or two to brow, run a knife around the sides of the saucepau, and double it over. Slip it into a hot dish and setve immediately. Just before folding it, sprinkle half a teaspoonful ol salt ovct the top of the omelette. Melton Veal Take cold roast veal, chop fine and season with pepper, salt and lemon juice, add one-fourth the bulk of cracker crumbs, moisten with good rich stock; take one-third the amount of finely chopped lean ham: sea son with mustard and cayenne pepper; add cracker crumbs, as with the veal, and moisten with stock. Butter a mold and line with slices of hard-boiled eggs; put in the two mixtures of ham and veal irregularly, so that when it i cooked it will have a mottled appearance, press closely and steam one hour. Set away to cool, remove from the mold and slice before serving. Nice for lunch o supper.
