To PICKLE EGas. -One of the largest
egg dealing firms in New York, gives to
The Times, of that city, the following re-
cipe for picking eggs, which they use with
good success To make a good pickle, get
one bushel Of clean lump lime, free from
dirt and all foreign matter, four quarts of
fine salt, and sixteen ten-quart pals of
pure water, hard or soft, and as free from
vegetable matter as possible. Stake the
lime with two or three pals of water, and
dissolve the salt in pale Of it then add
the salt and the balance of the water.
Stir the preparation well let it stand a
short time, aud stir it again three or four
times. Finally, let it settle and dip the
to preserve in, filling it about half full.
After this has been done dip the eggs into
the pickle with dipper or basket made
for the purpose. When the cistern or cask
is nearly full of eggs, and they are well
covered with pickle. spread Ia cotton
cloth over them, and spread on that layer
of two or three inches Of the thick lime
that is left after the clear pickle has been
dipped off. Be sure that the eggs are we'll
covered with pickle while they remain in it.,
and the lower temperature of the pickle is
kept the better the eggs will come out.
The best arrangement for preserving eggs
is to build vat or cistern below the cellar
bottom, being careful to get it well made,
tight, and from six to seven feet long, five
feet wide, and four or five feet deep. Eggs
picked according to the recipe given have
been known to keep well for two years.

NATHANIEL STEPHENS, now eighty
years old, and blind, who was soldier Of
the war of 1872, under Captain W. S.
Radcliff, 4lst United States Infantry, with
General Scott, has been ON the govern
ment pension rolls longer than any other
soldier. He resided nearly all his life near
Cananda,gua, N. Y, but has recently re-
moved to Galesburg, Ill. He had one
finger shot away in action, and soon al.
ter his company received the command
:" Fire." when he brought down two Of
the enemy at one shot. He was after
wards more seriously injured. and, in con-
sequence, received pension of Sc per
month, commencing June 8, 1916, the
date of his discharge. September 30,
1916, his pension was increased to IS per
month, at which rate it still continues.
Up to June last he had received as pen
sion the snug sum of $4,Sl5.e0. The
pension of no living Revolutionary soldier
dates back as far as his does. He has
been a pensioner for over fifty-seven
years. During the late war he lost in the
Union army four sons and two sons-in-
law. a5. ~.

COAL To Go HIGHER YET.-The coal
trade for the past week has been without
special feature. The demand is steady and
regular and prices in the main are unchang-
ed. 1t is already given out that further
advance of ten cents per ton will be made
on coal on the LIST Of August by the
great companies in the combination con-
trolling the trade, another evidence that
prices of coal to consumers will not be
permitted to decline. The newly inaug-
urated system of moderately advancing
prices from month to month, as the season
progresses, is generally accepted by con-
sumers as fixed policy; and one that will
be adheared to, at least for this season,
and probably in all the future, while the
trade is controlled and supplied as at pres
ent. A steady movement of tonnage for
the remainder of the season is necessary
to bring forward the same amount Of coal
as same to tide-water last year. Should
the estimated annual increase of ten per
cent. be required, the trade will be very
active for the remaining months of the
year, and prices probably higher. -Ptita-

first Monday of next October. The Urin-
ciples adopted by the board exclude all
boys whose friends would be able to take
care Of them, all who would be suitable
for the House Of Refuge, all whose parents
would seek to abuse the charities of the
school. The advantages are that boys will
be taken at a tender age and kept for sew
eral years. until qualified by substantial
English education and practical training in
farming and the science Of agriculture TO
earn their own living. As is known the
