a Mineral Cabinet for Wells ool-
lege.

The venerable Henry Wells, founder OF
Wells College, Aurora, New York, father,
so to speak, OF the great express company
of the United States, Wells, Fargo & Co,
aud life long and intimate friends of Hon
Wm. d. Seward, has been spending .ome
months in California, and leaves for his
home IN New York tomorrow, During his
stay In California Mr.. Wells has been max
ing collection of spscimens of gold, silver,
copper, iron, lead and other ores and miner
ais generally, from different parts of the Pa
oihe coast, for the college which bears his
name, having succeeded in obtsininV two
entire collections of considerable extent and
rare excellence. He is desirous of Increas>
ing the collection by specimens of all kinds,
until 1t will form a cabinet of high scientific
value, and the Trustees will make an appeal
for that purpose to mine owners and Others
on the Pacific coast who may have specimens
which they are willing to contribute. The
object is not so much to obtain specimens of
great intrinsic value, as to secure fair rep
resentation of tas products of the mines OF
the entire coast Any of the agents OF Wells
Fargo & Co., will receive specimens single
or in numbers and transmit them to San
Francisco to be forwarded to the college.
Wells College was founded for the pur-
pose Of giving young ladies the advantage
Of thorough scientific education, and
stands high among the useful educational
institutions Of America. The collection will
bs seen by thousands of people annually,
and will serve TO give large class of iDAn-
entail and wealthy people an adequate idea
OF the value and extent of the mineral
resources the Pacific States. Parties
contributing towards the collection will in
90 Going render service to the cause of
liberal education and at the same time con-
fer al indirect but positive benefit on the
Pacific States. The better our resources
are known abroad, the greater will be the
immigration to this coast, and the more will

at a proper temperature, they may be
kept good for years. Fresh eggs are
more transparent at the center, old ones
at the top. Very old ones are mol
transparent in either place. In water
in which one tenth OfSalt has been dis

The best eggs are laid by young healthy
hens. II they are properly fed the eggs
are better than if they are allowed to

Eggs are best when cooked about

An egg if cooked very hard is diff ult
of digestion, except by ii ose who have
stout stOmachs, such eggs should be
eaten with bread and masticated very
finely. An excellent sandwich can be
made with eggs and brown bread. An
egg spread on toast is food fit for king,
if kings deserve any better food than
iany body else, which is doubtful. Fried
eggs are less Wholesome than boiled
ones. An egg dropped into hot water
is not only clean and handsome but 4
delicious morsel. Most people spoil
the taste of their eggs by adding pep
per and salt. A little lweet butter is
the best dressing. Eggs contain much
phosphorus, which IS supposed to bt
useful to those who use their brain:
