Truth, under certain circumstances, may

That journal says: "a young Mexican
picked up eighteen eggs by holding them
like an eyeglass between his cheeks and his
nose, and deposited them in his ear with

between his knees and beat them into a
foam with a fork held between his toes:
then peeled ten lemons with his teeth while
standing on his head, while he mixed the
eggs and lemon in large punch bowl; then,
without taking off his coat, he caught up
with the southern bound fast train, ran
with it two miles, during which he un.

The eggs are carefully 'candled" by hand

been taken twice across the equator in
ships, and then made into omelet, and
compared with omelet made from fresh

How TO Make Coffee Right.
Golden Rule.I

iboluSl IAulG
\ subscriber in Maine sends us the fol-
lowing: Each family must decide about
the strength they desire, hence it is sufi-
clent to say, put the. right amount of
ground coffee in perfectly clean pot, and
turn on the right amount Of boiling water
Set the coffee-pot on the back part of the
stove where it will keep hot but not boil
Steep thus from twenty minutes to an
hour. That is it Will be ready-~perfectly
settled and fit for the table-in twenty or
twenty five minutes, but will not grow stale
if occasion requires it to remain longer, if
it doesn't boil at all. Made in this way it
will require no device for settling, for it is
never unsettled. A few grounds will in
any case collect in the nozzle. To avoid
these, the first cup poured should be turn
ed back or into another cup; or all the liq,
uid may be drawn into another hot coffee
pot for the table. If drawn from the first
pot into the cups, care should be taken tc
handle the coffee-pot gently, SO as not tc
disturb the grounds, and thus turn delici
Gus, wholesome beverage into a muddy
drink. 1t is painful to lover of coffee t.
see the average housekeeper take up the po
and turn it with a jerk, or SO rapidly tha
the grounds are forcibly disturbed.
Colee contains tannin, and this is an as
! tringent poison and tends TO constipate tn
bowels. Boiling or oversteeping coffe
brings this out. Hence the injunction neve
to boil coffee. If this rule is observed fey
would be obliged to give up this favorit
drink on account of its "not agreeing" wit
them. Never cheat yourself by using tn
old grounds again-all the pure, whole

Few persons properly estimate the diff
ference between a high and low rate of
interest, and therefore often borrow money
at ruinous rates that no legitimate business
can stand But few have figured on the
difference between six and eight per cent,
with interest collected annually and added
to the principal will amount to $40. At
eight per cent, it amounts to 3 ,203 or
nearly seven times. At three per cent, the
usual rate of interest in England, it
amounts to S19.25, whereas at ten per cent,
the usnal rate in the Z. S., ii is Si3 800, or
nearly one thousand times as much. At
twelve per cent, it amounts to S64,G75, or
more than four Thousand times as much.
At eighteen per cent, it amounts to $15,-

Texas Wool Growing.

The wool interest in Texas is gradually
assuming large proportions, and bids fair,
ere the close of another decade, to rank in
importance with the cattle trade There
are now hundreds of sheep pastures in va
rious portions of the State, paying sheep
breeders handsomely on their small in
vestments. Among the larger breeders
may be mentioned Mr.. George Reynolds,
of Nueces county, who owns $4,000 acres,
the greater part of which affords excellent
pasturage for his sheep, which at present
numbers some 10000 head, all improved
and graded from the common motive stock.
Mr.. Reynolds emigrated with his. family
from England in 1855, and about the year
1860 settled in Nueces county, where he
rented a tract of land, investing at the
time $1,000 in 1000 low-grade sheep
Since the period above named he has deyot-
ed all his time an energies to raising and
improving sheep, both for mutton and
wool. He has now fine stone residence
on his ranch, good, substantial outbuild.
ings, pasture fences and other improve
menis. He has sold several thousand sheep
from time to time, besides numerous lots Of
high grade ewes and bucks for breeding
purposes, at remunerative figures. In Feb
ruary last he sold to DR.. Seiries, of Live
Oak county, Texas, 600 head at s. per head
cash, the price obtained being good evi
dence of their quality, as the ruling prices
for from low grade to good medium sheer
range from 81 to IS each 4 number o
other sheep raisers in Texas may be citeC
who from very humble beginnings are nov
enjoying comfortable independence. Thu
wool interest in Texas is now only in it
infancy, yet the total shipments for th,
present year will exceed 100000 bales.
