TO KEEP EGGS FRESH.

Simple Method of Preserving Them for at Least Eight Months. Fresh eggs in cold storage at 34 degrees Fahrenheit undergo little if any change, for this temperature is sufficient to limit the activities and pre- . vent the growth of the more common bacteria. ' The problem of preserving eggs by excluding air has brought forth numerous methods. According to American Medicine investigators several years ago-conducted a series of tests, keeping the eggs for about eight, months in some 20 different ways, and found that imfiaersed in brine all were unfit for use. Wrapped in paper, 80 per cent.Jsad. Packed in bran or coated with paraffine, 70 per cent. bad. Immersed in salicyclic acid. 50 per cent bad. Coated with shellac or colodion, 40 per cent bad. Packed in wood ashes, 20 per. cent ' bad. Coated with vaseline or immersed in a solution of water glass Or lime water, none baa. From these experiments, as well as many others, it has been found that a solution of water glass offers about the best method of preserving eggs, aside from cold storage. Wt-er glass is the common name for potassium or sodium silicate, and is obtained in the shops in the form of a thick liquid something like glycerine. One part of this to nine of sterile water makes a preserving fluid of the proper strength. The eggs should be packed in a - clean, sweet vessel, and the solution poured over them until they are well covered. Preserved in this way in a cool place they win keep for months and often cannot be distinguished in appearance from the fresh article. It is generally conceded that they lack the flavor of new laid eggs, but are in no way Inferior in nutritive value.

Gave Him a Brilliant Idea.

On the journey from Vienna to St' Petersburg the late Irving Bishop, the well-known mind-reader, was entertaining his fellow-passengers... by guessing their thbughts. .One of the travelers, a Polish Jew, who took the whole thing as a hoax, offered to pay Irving Bishop the sum of fifty rubles if he could divine his thoughts. Visibly amused, Bishop acceded to the request, and said, “You are going to the fair at Nijni-Novgo-rod, where you intend' to purchase goods to the extent of twenty thousand rubles, after which you will declare yourself a bankrupt and compound with your creditors for three per cent" On hearing these words, the Jew gazed at the speaker with reverential awe. Then, without uttering a syllable, he drew out of the leg of his boot a shabby purse, and handed him the fifty rubles. Whereupon the magician triumphantly inquired, “Then I have guessed your thoughts, eh?” “No,” replied the Jew, “but „• you have given me a brilliant idea.” ..

One for the Bishop.

The late J. A. McNeill Whistler opposed every sort of cant. He cham pioned, on the other hand, many peculiar things. He believed, for instance. in cosmetics, and encouraged women always In the use of rouge, rice-powder, kohl and henna. He liked in this connection to tell about a rebuff that he once heard a young girl ’administer to a bishop. The bishop somehow or other discovered the young girl in the act of curling her hair with a heated silver rod, and he said to her, “My dear young lady, if God intended your hair to be curled, he would curl it himself.” She rejoined, “He did curl it when I was a little girl, but now that I am grown up, he thinks«l am able to look after it myself."

The Wrong Spot.

Patrick had recently-set up in the cab-driving business, having bought out Mr. Cooley and his two station hacks. Before Christmas he had endeavored to make plain to his family what gifts he desired. “It’s small use telling them child ern things, for they don’t pay me no heed,” he said, gloomily. “What did they give you, Pat?” m asked an interested friend. "I kept it going to ’em how I was near perished wid the cold,” said Patrick, “an’ what do they do. Instid o’ giving me gloves for me bands, they have given, me bloinders for me ears!”

Stringent European Fire Laws.

One of the main reasons why the per capita fire loss in Europe is only one-tenth of that of the United States lies in the fact that the fire insurance laws abroad are more stringent, and that in all the larger cities and towns the danger of fire is minimized by strict building regulations.

Salt a Polson.

Salt in measure is wholesome, but In surfeit is a deadly poison. Rascally amateur drovers, to make hogs weigh more, sometimes heavily salt and water them just' before selling; this often kills the hogs before they reach the scales.

ROADS AND ROAD MAKING

ONET OF THE GREAT PROBLEMS With Good Roads the Farmer Can Haul to Highest Market. Here is what George W. Lattimer, Chairman of the Joint Roads Committee of the Ohio State Board of Commerce and the Ohio State Grange, has to say on the subject of gopcij roads in his recent report:. “The farther one studies and investigates this subject, the more he is that It is one bf t,he greatest problems of the United States. It touches the welfare and Interest of more individuals than any other otie question that is before the American public to-day 1 . There is not a man, woman or child, in the country or city, that is not obliged to use the roads. “Owing to the extremely bad roads of the present time,. the farmer, who Is the producer, is obliged to haul his product to the nearest market at*- such times during the year as the roads passable. This occurs within two or three months in the fall, after the harvest. This glut and oven-supply makes the very lowest prices of the year for the producer, and the consumer, in the cities and centers of population is obliged to pay the very highest prices during the months of the bad weather. Good I'bads wilLeliminate such conditions so that the farmer can ‘haul his products to the market at any time during the year, whenever the demand calls.for it, and the consumer can buy whenever the goods are wanted. Thus the producer will be able to secure a better price for his product and the consumer pays lower prices for his necessities. “For years the United States and State governments have been appropriating money for waterways, steam railroads and other means of communication, all of which are gbod, but these questions become insignificant of what good roads will bring to the inhabitants of this country. Everybody should be interested in this question, and should tffge Federal, State and county aid for improvements Which at this time are all vital to the welfare of our country.’’

Rural Delivery for Better Roads.

The large crops and high prices of farm products for the past 20 years, together with the general prosperity of the whole country, tend to increase the desir.e for the good' things of this world, and affords more leisure tp enjoy what we have. The increased number of people who rfde over the couuntry for either pleasure or business to say nothing of the driving required by the great system of rural delivery which has so recently been have created a pressing demand fi?om one tend of the country to the other for a better grade of -highways than have heretofore been dreamed of. Some roads will be built by the national government and others by the States, but the counties will always be the greatest promoters and builders of good roads. Some States are already spending millions on their highways. Massachusetts appropriated $25,000,000 a few years ago for that purpose and now has many r iles of beautiful roads as smooth as asphalt pavement. All Europe abounds in fine roads; but they have been at it for centuries, and have learned the art to perfection. It may take generations it put all our roads in"as good condition as they are abroad, but we have made the beginning, and each year will doubtless show much progress- as a whole.

Road Construction.

A fe w suggestions; about the proper construction of a roadbed may not b« amiss, To begin with the surface sbould be made very crowning, for it immediately begins to flatten by .use, and will Continue to grow more and more so all the time if nothing is done to prevent it. But R ean .be held it good shape by occasional scraping. The scraping will also do a great deal.towards filling up the small depressions, which are the real beginning of all trouble. But some new material must be carefully put in by hand where needed—not too " much, as that will create two holes, where before thdre was but one. Use more brains and less stone! A good road cannot be made without hard thinking. Keep in mind all the time tnat you are fighting water! You will notice that the roads always remain in the best condition on the grades where the tyater can easily run away, and you will also observe that they always -grow bad first in the valleys afi’d level paces, and that it is because the roadbeds, are flat, or perhaps even holowing with little dams of sod on the' l sides so that the water stands there until it soaks in or dries up, instead of running away quickly, as it should,- and w;ould If tie surface was kept crowding and the Dinows kept f:om forming, wlifcph act as canals to cqjpduct the vater down into the lowest part of the road, where mud and destruction join hands in tljei: evil work.

A Profitable Line.

I believe that raising cows for market if they are the right kind of atock. is l as rtofltabii as any line of farming. The- heifers will always bring good prices and the steers will top the marks. at the yards.

Mexico Has Another Brand New Provisional President.

In an effort to 'secure peace Carranza has finally withdrawn ’from the Mexican presidency and Gut-, ienez has'been chosen provisional president; The new man is said''to bo a- sympathizer of General Villa'. Troops of the U. S. will-remain ! at Vera Cruz until central government assures safety to citizens of this country. Like about every other man in Mexico, Gutierrez is a general, and as a member of the constitutionalist army he . was known, as the “Tiger of Conception Del Ord.” Carranza is not ing to a dispatch from El Paso and is making demands for an .'explanation, which probably means that lie will rebel -unless pacified.

Killed Man Who Refused To Get Him Railroad Job.

Fivemonths ago Webster H. Cassidy. of Indianapolis, asked “Tony” Bumoller, a Big Four freight handler, to get him a job handling freight. Bumoller' replied: “Huh, you’d last about as Jong as a snowball in hell.” Cassidy was enraged and brooded over what, he termed an insult. Monday he met Brumeller in a corridor of the Gcmianio hotel and fired a bullet into his back, killing him. Cassidy said that he had feared Bum oiler, a’s the latter had said he would like to kill him. Cassidy \Vas searched land two revolvers were found on Him, one loaded full and the other with one shot fired. Cassidy is supposed to, have been weakened mentally, because of being out of. work. ,

THIEVES TO CATCH THIEVES.

Many Former Bandits Not* In Mexico’s Mounted Police. The Rurales or mounted police have pretty nearly put a stop to brigandage. Several years ago the Govern- . ment recognized the wisdom of the old adage “Set a thief to catch a thief” and offered pardon and protection to all brigands who would enlist as rurales. ’ » Most of them took advantage of the offer, writes Dillon Wallace in Outing, and with these men on the side of law and order holdups soon became infrequent, and the rurales developed into a wonderfully efficient mounted force to hunt down bandits. They are fearless riders, they Know every mountain pass and fastness, and when they once start after a man he is pretty sure to be caught or killed — generally killed. The rurales of Mexico compare favorably in bravery and reckless daring with that wonderful organizatioir\the Northwest Mounted Police of Canada and are by far the best armed force in Mexico. Their calling gives them opportunity for wild adventure, and thus satisfies the craving tor a life of danger, which led many of them to be brigands in the first instance. They are a free and easy lot, quite in contrast to the peaceably Inclined policemen of the towns and the slow moving, indolent soldiery of the regular army.

Christmas Temptations.

“I don’t know how it is,” sighed Mrs. Wescott to her husband, “1 start out to do my Christmas shopping full of generous impulses, and lose them by the way. “Last year ,1 bought the waist for sister all right, but when I got it home it was so pretty and just the color I love. As long as she didn’t know about it, I reasoned, there was no harm done. “Well, I kept the waist for myself, although I never told you, James; and as I couldn’t afford to buy her anything expensive after spending so much on the waist, I found a pretty stock collar, and sent that. “I really didn’t enjoy wearing the waist as much as I thought I should, and a few days after Christmas I just confessed the truth, and tpld her she could "have it. “The joke of it, was,” concluded Mrs. Wescott, “that she had done the same thing, only instead of sending me a stock collar, she had sent handkerchiefs."

Heroic Husbands.

Some iwonien were discussing over their afternoon tea the statement that ’A man is no more a hero to his wife than to his Valet. There seemed ta be no opposition to the idea that a man’s servant did not appreciate him. but all stoutly maintained that their husbands were heroic—in one or, another. “My husband is very heroic',” said Mrs. Black. “For instance, he will give up his visit to the club to play jackstraws with my old mother, and she is his mother-in-law, you know.” “I think I can beat that,” remarked Mrs. Gray. “When my milliner’s quarterly bill copies in my husband smiles as be writes a check, and never thinks of looking at the items.” “I cajL give you a better example than either of those!” exclaimed Mrs. White. “When the morning paper comes at breakfast-time, my husband always offers me the first reading of it" An informal vote awarded the last speaker's husband the meddl for herolMk
