To KEEP EGGs.-During a long
voyage to South America, it was no,
ticed how fresh the eggs continued
to be. TIE steward was called on for
his secret. He said that, as he pur-
chased his stock, be packed it down
in small boxes -raisia boxes and
afterwards, about once a week, turn
ed over every box but the one out
Of which be was using. This was
ell. The reason Of his success is,
that, by turning the eggs over he
kept tho yolk about the middle Of
the albumen. If still, the yolks will
after awhile find its way through the
white to the shell, and when it does
so the egg viii spoil. Hens under
stand this fact; as is we'll known,
they turn over the eggs on which
they set at least daily.

Of several prisoners who were con-

the Buckeye State. The Jail was old
and dilapidated, and one night they
escaped from their DURANGO vile, in
other words "broke jail''-but in
stead of escaping, the jailor found
them next morning seated on the
top of their prison house, pounding
the roof in great violence. Surpr:s-
ed beyond measure, he asked them
what they we're doing, whareupon

leaked SO bad when it rained, thoy
concluded. they would just step ont

To ExpeI Rats.

The Farm Journal gives the fol-
lowing account of howa gentleman
of Boston eontrived to expel rats:
SR Using a small board in the gar
ret floor, our friend opened com.
mnnicatiou between the floor and
ceiling beneath, which interior COM
manicated with the spaces between
the side walls and the laths and plas-
ter over the whole house. Into this
opening he placed a dish containing
finely pulverized black oxyde of
magnese, and poured over it suit
able quantity Of strong hydrochlor-
10 :muriatic acid. The floor board
was then replaced The effect of
the chemical mixture of black oxyde
Of magnese and hydrochloric acid is
to dissngage in the cold the most
powerful, deodorizing, fumigating,
gas, chlorine. In common with all
gases, it gradually diffuses itself
through the air, bat having great
er weight than atmospheric air, it
accumulates at the lowest levels
The tendency of the gas liberated,
therefore, was to penetrate every
vacant space between the walls and
ceiling, and last found exit in the
cellar. 1t may here be stated that
the quality of gas SO liberated can
exert no injurious effect upon the
house or its inmates; indeed, the re-
suit srather beneficial than other
wise upon the general health. The
chemical arrangement described
had not been long in operation wheI
it became evident that something
unusual was occurring in ratdom.-
All night long, it would seem. sait
the narrator, 'as if Bedlam had bro
ken loose between the partitions o
my house. Towards morning all be
ca me quiet the rats bad vamosed
big and little, and for period 0
