Picked Eggs.

Picked eggs are very easily prepared
and are most excellent as an accOmpa
niment for cold meats. Boil for half an
hour three dozen eggs, remove the
shells and pack them when entirely
cold, in a wide-mouth jar large enough
t. let them in or out without MASKING
OF breaking. Take as much vinegar as
you think will cover them entirely and
boil in it white pepper, allspice, Il little
root ginger, and if desired very small
quantity of garlic. Salt to taste. a few
tiny white onions put in the jar some
may think an improvement. When
the vinegar has boiled enough to eX-
tract the spices, take them out and
cover the eggs, cork tightly, when cold
and in a month they are ready for use

China Berries as Il Fertilizer.
The Hawkinsville, Ga, Dispatch
gives us the following:

The .Hawkinsville, Ga, Dispatch
gives us the following:
"Last year a planter of this country,
living near uawkinsviiie, made a sat
isfactory experiment with the COM
mon china berry by using it under his
corn. He tested its value by compar-
ison with cotton seed, which he sowed
in rows alternately. The yield of the
rows planted with the china berry was
fifteen per cent. greater than that of
the cotton seed. The rows could easily
be distinguished by more verdant
appearance and vigorous growth. The
planter is entirely satisfied with his
experiment, and will probably make
use of all the china berries upon his
place the present season. Another
planter of this county assures us that
for garden manure the china berry is
excellent. 1t is we'll known that the
berry contains a large quartity of oil
and that certain kinds of stock are eX-
ceedingIy fond of it. We give these
statements to the public, hoping, if
there is any value in the china berry,
that it will be made known

Who Has Lost a Baby.

Just after the passengers had thronged
out of the depot to take the O'Clock
train on the Pacific road, last evening,
Officer Armstrong discovered an odd
looking bundle chucl1ed into a seat be-
hind the door of the waiting room.
An examination revealed a little wait
peacefully slumbering. The officer
gathered up the strange bundle and
hailed vehicle in which he was driv-
en- to the Central station. A council
composed of half a dozen burly police
men, two or three real estate clerks
and the Times representative, was
called and an examination held. The
baby was a boy. His age, according
to the testimony Of those experienced,
was about ten days. The swathing
clothes We're of the finest material and
the blanket of the softest wool trimmed
with satin. A green vail completed
the strangers wardrobe. The only
trace of its parent or guardian was the
testimony of Il woman who said she
had seen a lady with white hat OH
have the child in the depot. A con-
sultation was held, and all time the
youngster contentedly sucked his
thumbs, rolling his eyes with a Won
dering stare from one face to the other,
not half so much abashed at the meet

nurses. Half dozen men were just
on the point of offering to adopt the
boy when Officer Armstrong wrapped
him up and started for a foundling hos
pital. He went first to Tenth and
O'Fallon streets, where one Of the Sis
tiers Immediately recognized the infant.
Her statement is that q lady came to
the asylum yesterday, bringing this
chilu. She told the sister that tho
mother Of the baby had left it on q seat
in one of the cars on down train from
Chicago. She, herself, had taken
charge of it and brought it to the city,
but then wanted to get rid of it. She
said the child's name was Estelle. The
lady making this statement is describ-
ed as of about middle age. She had on
{. black silk dress, flounced and trim
med with lavender. She wore a white
hat trimmed with lavender, and a
white shawl. Further than this there
is no clue. Evidently some noble E,m-

The Muscular Strength Of Insects.

The strength of an insect can be fine
ly illustrated by a feat that was once
performed by a beetlc--O,.yctes ,UoiOaOn
"a variety that is quite common in the
United States. The beetle, for want of
any box at hand, was put beneath a
quart bottle full of milk upon n table,
the hollow at the bottom allowing him
room to stand upright. Presently, to
the surprise Of all in the room, the bot
tie began slowly to move and glide
along the smooth table, propelled by
the muscular power Of the imprisoned
insect, and continued for some time to
perambulate the surface. The weight
of the bottle and its contents could not
have been less than three pounds and
half, while that of the beetle was
about half an ounce, SO that it readily
moved a weight one hundred and
twelve times exceeding it's own. A
better notion than figures can convey
will be obtained of this feat by suppos-
ing q lad of fifteen to be imprisoned I'M
der the great bell of st. PauPs which
weighs twelve thousand pounds, and to
move it to and fro upon a smooth pave
ment by pushing within against the side
We have another instance of insect
power that is quite as remarkable as
the one just related. A small kind OF
carabus, an elegantly formed ground
beetle, weighing three and a half grains,
was once fastened by silk thread to /;
piece of paper, a weight having been
previously laid upon the latter. At Il
distance of ten inches from its load, the
insect was able to drag after it, upon an
inclined plane of twenty-five degrees,
very nearly eighty-tivc grains, but
when placed on plane of five degrees
and twenty-five grains, exclusive of the
friction to be overcome in moving its load
