Eggs by the Pouno.


THERE seems to be no good reason why
eggs should not be sold by the pound, The
same as other animals products; we are,
therefore, not surprised TO learn that the
matter has been brought to the attention
of the Legislature of Massachusetts, and it
has been enacted that eggs shall be sold
in that State, hereafter, BY the pound It
is alleged by the parties interested, that
there has been within the last few years
an increase in the proportion of small
produced and imported into the
State; and considering that the present
size did not fairly represent dozen, they
sought Legislative protection. At time
when eggs were worth but eight or ten
cents a dozen, it made little difference
whether dozen eggs weighed pound or
pound and half, and as selling by
count was the most convenient, it was
most readily adopted; but at the present
time, when, in the city markets, eggs
range in price from thirty to sixty cents a
dozen, even going to dollar, occasionally,
1t is of some importance to those of
moderate means who are compelled to
purchase at all times, that they do not
lose twenty per cent in weight by having
small eggs doled out to them. 1t is a mat
ter of surprise that eggs should still be
sold by count, while potatoes, apples, and,
in fact, many articles less valuable and
just as easily counted, are sold by weight
Aside from rendering justice to both pro-
Queer and consumer, it will have the
effect of increasing the production Of this
healthful and nutritious article of diet,
encouraging the rearing of those breeds
of fowls which really lay the greatest
weight of eggs, both by their great num-

The Lie of a Lifetime.

A solicitor of the town of Ross, in Here
fordshire, England, named J. FL Skyrme
died suddenly a few weeks ago. Few men,
to- all appearances, are more sincerely
incurred than he was. All the newspapers
in the neigh borhood published laudatory
obituaries; societies passed resolutions Of
respect and coincidence; the shops OF the
town we're closed on the day of his
funeral He was reported to be rich, and
had been universally respected There
was apparently no doubt, nor reason for
any, that the life which had just closed
had been an unusually honorable and
prosperous one; and yet the necessary in
vestigation of his affairs revealed almost
Immediately that he was very far from
such man as his neighbors and friends
had supposed. His whole life had been a
lie, and his business transactions were
based on forgery. Pretending to make in
vestments for his cliefts, he had ap-
propriated their money to his own use,
and imposed sham mortgages upon them
as a pretended security for their loans.
He had also forged other papers, had
pledged his clients title-deeds, and left his
banlxaccount overdrawn to the amount of
twenty thousand pounds. Almost all his
neighbors were his victims, and he left
no assets. He is now supposed to have
poisoned himself to avoid exposure, which
could not have been far off.

RECIPES, ETC.

Rolled Jelly Cake-One cup sugar.
one cup flour, three eggs, two teaspoons
cream tartar, one teaspoon soda Bake
in two parts; spread with jelly and roll
very soon after it is baked. Cheap and
very puffy.
Steam Pudding.-One teacup sour
milk, one-haf teaspoon soda, one-half
cup of fruit, half cup of suet or butter
stir stiff with flour. Steam one hour.
Make sauce of butter and sugar stirred
together, with a little wine.
How to Prepare Wooden Pails.-[f a
common wooden pail receives three coats
of common copal varnish on the inside be-
fore being used, it will never become
water soaked, nor will it give any disa-
greeable flavor to water that may be al
lowed to stand in it for any length of time.
Thus its usefulness and durability are
greatly increased.
Split Rolls.-One egg, we'll beaten
one tablespoon sugar; one yeastcake dis
solved in cup of warm milk; two tea
spoons salt; flour enough to make a stiff
batter; set to rise. When risen, work in
large spoonful of butter, and flour
enough to roll; roll out an inch thick.
spread over with butter, fold in half, cut
out with biscuit CUTTER let it rise again.

general with some of our best fruit-g grow

the trees are greatly promoted thereby.
Pieces Of iron hoop, old scythes, and
other useless bits of iron have long been
used by the most successful growers.
-Jellies-In making jellies of apricots,

remove the stones or cores, cut in pieces,
cover with water, and boil gently till we'll

through a jelly-bag and add q halfpint of
sugar to pint of juice. For berries, a
pound ofsugar to pint of Juice; boil till
it ropes from the spoon, or from fifteen to
twenty minutes. In making raspberry
Jelly use one-third currants and thirds
raspberries. -f...,t ..,.,r.a., .,.,......-
A New Way of Burning Stumps.-
A writer in the AnaerGcap Aq7gcu2tatrastg GETS
rid of stumps by boring hole with two
inch auger from the top of the stump to
the bottom. Another hole is bored
near the bottom at right angles to the
first and connecting with it Fire is kin
died over the horizontal hole and the nat
ural draft draws the fire through the two
holes, consuming the center of the stump
first and ultimately burning the whole.
"A correspondent Of the american Aq-
ricult1gast writes: "The food Of all ru-
minating animals is the cud. One of my
COWS, few days ago was seized with a
violent Hof coughing or sneezing while

mouth. | examined it and it was no more
or less than her food being ren1asticated.
She was chewing her cud again in less
than ten minutes"

EVERY Night! I

According to the Bowling Green (Ky.)

rather late the other evening, was RECALLED

CANNING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
These should be fully ripe, without blem-
ish, especially ofdecay. In the first place,
wash them and pick them clean; put
them in the cans quite full, and having
put on the covers loosely, set the cans in
kettles of cold water over moderate fire;
let the water boil gently, then remove the
cans, close them tightly and set them in
cool place. Glass cans are much used
now, but as these admit light, which is
supposed to injure the fruit, they should
be placed at once In dark closet Fruit

Advice to Young Doctors.

GLOW TO practice medicinen was the
! subject of the valedictory address of Prof
|Is.P Yandell, Jr., to the graduates Of the
University of Louisville last March. In
developing the precept that ''it is the
duty Of the physician to relieve his pa
tients cit0, tutO, ct .jucat7ade," the following
sensible advice is given under the ''ju-
cat1ede' division Of the text:
|, In all things study the quiet, the ease,
the enjoyment of your patients. Give
them abundant fresh air and ice and
cold water and fruit, when they desire
such things. AS to food, obey their appe-
tites.. Hunger and thirst have been we'll
styled our t'physcal conscience" which in
the sick7roem is never to be disregarded
They are safer guides in respect to diet
and drink than can be found in all our
medical philosophy, They make known
to us what the living organism needs.
Whatever sick people have true desire
for they ought, therefore, to be INDUCED
in, When your little patients have been
sick a long time, and have become
anRmic and iemaciated it may be for
want of proper food, have them carried
| to the table, and allow them to indicate
by signs, if they have no words, what
their systems require to build them up
again. Infants suffer great distress
| when i'll, on account Of thirst, which they
have no way of making known to us ex-
| cept by means and cries. You will often
be delighted to see how instantly their
plants cease OF. your giving the little
sufferers drink of cold water. Dismiss
from your minds then, and everywhere
/ discountenance the absurd notion that
cold drinks can ever be injurious to the
| cio1~
| Whispering, too, should be discounte-
nanced. The attention Of patients is
attracted by it, and they are annoyed and
fatigued by the effort to hear. Some of
my colleagues whisper that this is espec-
lally the case with lady patients.
- AS general rule, you may safely trust
the feelings of OF. convalescents in regard
to setting up and taking exercise, as well
as in reference to diet. In word you
can scarcely consult the inclinations of
the. sick too far, except as to physic, of
which of course they know nothing.
But L must put you on your guard
against yielding to the advice of their
nurses and friends. Consult with no one
but doctor, and never take a SUGGESTION
from n-professional person. You will
encounter numberless sage individuals
everywhere ready to aid you by their
counsel, based upon long experience or
something they have heard. If you adopt
their suggestions, the patient and attend
clude that they know as much
about physic as you do. 1t will be well
therefore, respectfully but firmly to put
aside all such NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Jour-

How a Girl Helps to Clean House.

SHE is perfectly willing to help She
tells her mother she would just as lief
stay home week as not, and informs
her teacher, with a, scmitriumphant air,
that she has to stay home next week to
help clean house. low 2. s9is 500 s6T ~
The carpets are to be taken up first, and
that girl, delicately reared though she be,
bravely sits down in the middle of the
floor and reads paper while her mother
and hired girl take out the tacks and make
frantic efforts to use the same form of
common prayer that the head of the house
uses when his boots don't come Oh easily
in the morning. 3s ta
The carpet is rolled up and taken out
into the back yard and hung on the clothes
line to be busted. Now the girl comes
out strong and shows the latent energy
that IS in her. She SEXES an old broom
and starts toward the swinging carpet with
an air of determination. On her way she
spies her friend Kate passing and goes off
to the side fence to talk about an hour and
a half about-well, about whatever girls
90 talk about under the same circum-
stances. Then she goes into the house
and eats her dinner and complains of be-
ing tired. $50
In the afternoon she begins busting and
arranging the books in the bookcase.
She finds, pretty soon, one of Ouida's
novels, and sits down ON the floor to read,
while the ink, from bottle she knocks
over when she throws her duster on the
table, luns all over the parlor curtains
stuffed under the chair near by. Her
mother finds her there and sends her into
the parlor to gather up her music ready

cises and marches, but presently she

was SO sweet, soishe sits down and begins
to play. While she is practising Robert

She is too hoarse. She couldn't think of
