METHOD OF PREPARING EGGs.-The fol-
lowing is pronounced an appetizing dish for
the tea table or for a lunch. Boil the eggs
hard. When they are cold, take of the
shells, divide the eggs lengthwise in halves,
take out the yolks, crumble them in bowl,
adding salt, pepper, mustard, a little parse
", chopped fine, and little olive oil. When
all are well mingled, fill the hOllows in the
whites of tine eggs with the mixture and
serve IN halves.
By coating paper with petroleum and
pressing it between the blOtters 20 extract
the excels Of oil, tracing paper is obtained
which il equal TO any other 10 use. Benzine
is also highly recommended for producing
the desired transparency.

The solcitude to relieve and care for, an;
comfort him, engrossed us T; the apprshen
sion OF our own desolation IN case he shoulC
be removed from US, almost drove us wild
While he lay deal beneath the home roo
there was hurry and hustle in preparation
for the funeral rites. Friends are sent for
neighbors are present, the funeral arrange
ments discussed, the mourning provided; al
is excitement; the loss is not yet perceived
in all its greatness.
But "after the funeral," after the business
has all subside and things begin to move
on rs usual, then it 10 that we begin to know
what has befallen US. The house seems still
and sepulchral, though in the heart of the
city; and though it's threshold be still trod-
den by friendly feet it is as if empty. The
apartment, how deserted Especially the
room where he struggled and surrendered
in the last conflict. There are his clothes,
there his books, bis hat and cane; there his
ever vacant seat at the family board. Du-
ring his sickness we had not so much rs
noticsd these things, for we hoped ever that
he might use or occupy them agln. But
DOW we know il cannot be, AMI we perceive
the dreadful vacuity everywhere.
Oh, how dark and cherries The night
shadows come down after the funeral NJ
moon or stars ever shone so dimly, no dark
ness ever seemed so utterig dark. The tick
ings OF the clock resound Like bells all over
the house. Such deep sile1cs No foot
steps now on the stairs or overhead in the
sick chamber; no nurse and watcher to coma
and say, "He is not % well, aud asks for
you" No, indeed, ''you may sleep now,
and take your rest" il you can. Ah, poor
bereaved heart 1t will be long before the
sweet rest you once knew will revisit your
couch. Slumber will bring back the scenes
through which you have Just passed, and
you will start from it but to fad them all
too real. God pity the mourners "after the
funeral"

A SeAslbIe Girl.

Some writer, to US unknown, tells this
story OF her:
twenty years ago a young man who had
Paid attention to q bright, sweet girl for
long time without making anything that
was even a second cousin to a proposal,
was startlei one evening, by the question,
"Kooert, do you want to marry me- ?" liz
tried to evade the point by asking WHY she
put such question to him. "Because, if
you do not want to marry ms you must
stop coming to see me. No mocking bird
around the re1breast's nest you know"
Robert took the hint, and, with a cool good
night walked home. what should he ere

next day. He tried to sleep but couldn't

partner "At anY rate, one thing is GER

to himself, land she means business" Tue
next morning Robert went to the counting
room. 1t was q long day. Business had
dragged. Everybody was pre-occupei, hur-
rled, cross. Things went wrong. He was

crate and figures on the wall instead of the
page. He threw himself on the lounge, but
it was dreadfully dull. He stood it for
while, end then put on his hat AMI walked
dewn to the widow Csaig;s's. He stepped
up to the door As usual, bu. Edna was en-
gagged. He asked to have her called. It
seemed . month before she came down. At
last she appeared. He rose from his seat
and met her in the middle OF the room, and
SAID, Edna, have come here tonight on
business. | am tired Of being your mocking
bird, and, want to be your redbreast; will
you be my wife?" "When do you sav ="

years ago. To-day one- OF the handsonest
mansions in one OF our cities is the nest Of
a welded pair whose life has been sweet as
a birds song, and whose hearts, like their
affections, are rs young as ever. There is
great ceal more in putting little straight
forward business at the beginning Of life
than is generally supposed.

Signals.

/. \. Osborne, who has for years past
ma 'e himself conspicuous by his signals foT
use on board ship, in mines, factories or
dwelling houses, has nov brought out a
method which, Tor simplicity and efficie ncy,
exeels all his previous inventions. First, be
used salvano- electricity, then pneumatic
tubes, and compressible air-chambers, both
costly and liable to arrangement. Now,
with balance-weight and chain, be ac.
composites all be desires with his system OF
signals. A captain stan Ting on the bridge
OF steamer can, by touching the indicator,
send an order to the steersman or the en-
glneer, and see at oace whether they obey,
without changing his position. And that
which can be done in a ship can be done in
a house, workshop, or mine, and By a simp le
mechanical arrangement, which can hardly
fail to be received with favor. It has been
already adopted in the five leading navles OF
Europe; and the great Prussia iron clad,
konig Wilhelm, recently built on the
Thames, is fitted with a set Of Osborne $
signals, finished in style which may truly
be described as royal.
A magnetic exploJer, constructed by Bre-
guet OF Paris was shown, which will fire a
fuse, and consequently a cannon, at any

N. J. Holmes, who is among the fore

is one OF the cheapest, if not the cheapest

two circles of buttons, and the operator has
oulg to touch button after button, and spell
out his message as rapidly az be pleases.
With this and other instruments before
them, government will have sufficient
variety TO choose from when they assume
control Of the teIeErap1 telegram.

Some OF these poor fellows occupied the
last moments OF their lives in writing mes
sages In their notebooks to their wives and
Children and these were found whea tue

pathos In some Of these messages from the

which they manifest was the most notable
feature. These men, 10 the verv presence
OF death, had thoughts for everv one but

Thu bee has to work for the honey,

How do men feel when about to die-not
after being weakened by disease or when
the blood is heated by the strife OF battle
but when the much d. AIDED hour is
slowly but certainly approaching them, and
know that in exactly so many minutes it
will seize upon them and extinr Iish the
lusty life that animates their frames. Do
they rage and struggle against their fate, or
do they meet it with cslmness, resolution
and dignity2

at first supposed a number OF them were
unharmed by the explosion, and were killed,
after an interval Of soma time, BY sufoca-
tion.
