HOW TO TELL THAT EGGS ARE
EGGS.
A good egg will sink in water.

A good egg will sink in water.
A boiled egg which is done will dry
quickly on the shell when taken from the
kettle.
The boiled eggs which adhere to the shell
are fresh laid.
After an egg has laid day or more, the
shell comes off easily when boiled.
A fresh egg has Il lime like surface to its
shell.
Stale eggs are CLASSY and smooth of shell.
Eggs which have been packed in lime
look stained and show the action of the
lime on the surface. g.,
Eggs packed in bran long time smell
and taste musty.
With the aid Of the hands or piece Of
paper rolled in funnel shape and held
toward the light, the human eye can look
through the egg, shell and all.
If the egg is clear and golden in appear
ance when held to the light it is good; If
dark or spotted, it is bad.
The badness Of an egg can sometimes be
told by shaking it near the holders ear, but
the test is dangerous one.
Thin shells are caused by lack of gravel,
etc, among the hens laying the eggs.
Many devices have been tested to keep
eggs fresh, but the less time an egg is kept
the better for the egg and the one who eats

WHY GIRLS CANNOT THROW
STONES

The difference between girls throwing
and boys is this; The boy crooks his
elbow and reaches back with the upper
part of his arm at about right angles with
his body, and the forearm ut IN angle OF
about, iorty.ilvc degrees; the direct act OF
throwing is accomplished by bringing the
arm back with sort of snap, like the tail
of II snake or II whip.lNsh, working every
Joint from shoulder to wrist, and sometimes
making your elbow sing as though you had
got whack on the crNzy.bonc. The girl
throws with her whole arm rigid the boy
with his whole arm relaxed, Why this
marked and unmis,akNbe difference exists
we never learned until. at somewhat adj
vunccd period, we dove into book OF
physiology, and learned that the clayiclc,
or collar.rone, in the anatomy of Il female
is some inches longer and set some degrees
lower down than in the masculine frame
This long. crooked. awkward bone inter
tcrcs with the full and free action OF the
shoulder, and That's the reason why u girl
cannot throw n stone.

EUROPEAN CONGRESS-.
Gen. Todleben Negotiating with
Admiral Horribly.

New YORK, May 3.--Information from
Vienna, dated yesterday, is to the effect that
in consequence of the concentrations of Rus
sian troops near the Transylvanian frontier,
it has become necessary for Austria to take
precaution. According to reliable informa-
ton the question of concentrating an Aus
trian army in Pennsylvania is being serious
ly considered.
The Political Correspondence states that
the revival Of negotiations between Russia
and England relative to congress is due
to the initiative of the former. The nego-
tiatons will be based upon larger conces-
sions than hitherto acceeded to by Russia.
Aspecial from Constantinople reports that
General Todleben has resumed negotiations
with Admiral Hornby in regard to the de-
tails of withdrawal. He has also resumed
negotiations with the Porte for the evacua-
ton of the coded fortresses, but as yet with
out result, Safvet Pasha declaring that the
Russians have not cGrried out the San Ste
tano treaty.

O'BRIEN DEAD.

A PACIFIC COAST MILLIONAIRE JOINS THE
ISNUMERABLE CARAVAN AND LEAVES HIS
GOLD BEHIND HIM.
SAN Francisco, May.-W. S. O'Brien, Of
Flood & O'Brien, died at San Rafael this
afternoon after a lingering illness of several
months His death will in no manner in
terfere with the business of the firm. About
a year and half ago all the property of
the firm was divided, with the exception of
the mining stock business, which remains
in common, Mr.. Flood having the manage
ment of deceased's interests. The arrange
ment will continue in force for the present,
and business will 90 on as usual. Mr..
O'Briens death has been hourly expected
for several days. He leaves will, the con-
ditions of which are as yet unknown. He
was bachelor, but has sister, niece and
nephew in this State, and sister and niece
in Paris or en- route. His property is vaguely
estimated at $4,000, 900 to SEQ 100000, but
it is ntimated that. as usual, rumor has
magnifed his wealth.

Porte for the present at least, although there
may have been some such intention little
time ago when it was believed England had
determined on war and was merely en-
deavoring to gain time. Now, however,
extreme skcpticism in regard to the pacific
aspirations of some of the British Ministers
seem to be diminished. Russia is not like
y to do anything to preciptate a crisis AS

solution remains. A well-intomed st.

Love Literature.

From time immemorial love has been
the theme of all novels, romances, and
many other writings. No matter how
the story might be otherwise arranged,
through all its endless combinations
there has run one thread-that of love /;
and almost always there has been one
consummation-that of marriage. Bow
Bells, itself-your peerless and beautiful
queens framed on this model, and its
every story has for its burden-1oVel
Now, why is it that this is ever the
theme; that It so interests; that it will
bear such endless repetition; that it
never tires; and this all through epic,
song, story, drama, and the romantic
tale? Is it because of the intrinsic no
bleness of the passion itself-is it from
ruling bias in our nature towards that
PASSIONS it because of the ascending
degree of the story, and its climax, as be-
ing writing of the most artistic kind
or is it because of the sensibility of fair
readers, especially, and that they are
made up in great degree of affection?
This were a most interesting analysis,
and the abundance of such writing and
reading makes it also a most important
one. l think its main points have here
been limited at; perhaps they all come
in play in their several degrees. 1t is
certain that this passion affords ground
for fine and skillful writing; that it ex-
cites the curiosity that it engages the
heart. Hence it has always lived hence
it always will live; for every such tale
gives little epitome of the life of man.
We then certainly cannot call such
writing unnatural. Nor need it, of ne
cessity, be dangerous. 1t is true that too
fiery and immoral writers may kindle
fame that may destroy, and taste that
will corrupt. 1t is no less true that the
imagination of the reader, his or her not
pnspotted heart, may taint and turn to
death the intense, yet pure and lofty
words of Milton, Keats, Swinburne, and
other masters of Loves language and of
love. Let writers consider, and take
heed how they write; and let readers
guard their hearts and their thoughts
when they read.
The passion itself, of love, when pure,
is most noble, and most worthy of the
highest descriptive art. This it is that is
the burden of Gods message to man of
His Book; of the visit of our Savior to |
the earth; of His ever blessed and glo-
rious Gospel. Here is Loves climax
here its intensest fame; here its deepest |
and its purest story here are none of |
its dangers, and all of its sweets. Touch |
ed by so pure fame, following so divine |
a light, no writer or no reader can 60 as

The Tramp's Yarn.

Quad Box" writes in the ADlericGa
Newspaper Reporter:
There are but few printers throughout
the country but what have seen or heard
of George Washington Matchett, proba-
bly, the oldest tramp printer on the road.
He says he has tramped across the contl-
nent seven times, and has visited almost
every printing Office in the union. The
following is a story related by him on
his last trip through this place;
He was on one of his long walks, and
had got as far west as Kansas, and had
found little work during his journey ;
but one day he struck small town with
one printing Office in it. He went up to
the Office, and found the editor scratch
ing away with his pen, and the "devil'
seated upon a stool. He asked the editor
how work was, and what was the chance
for a "sit," and upon being told that he
might have job for few days, and that
he could go to work at once, he asked
where he could find the type and cases,
and was told that the type was up stairs
in a sack, and that he would have to
chalk his case out on the floor. He went
to work and marked out his case and laid
the type. He worked all that week, and
when Saturday night came he went to
the boss for his money, whereupon the
latter went up stairs and threw down two
coon skins, and explained to g, W, that
thew were currency in that country.
George had TO make the best Of Il 30 he
threw the coon skins over his shoulder
and started down town to store. he
got some tobacco, paper OF pins, and
Some thread, and threw down q coon
skin to pay for it. The storekeeper took
tbe coon skin and handed him back two
souirrel skins and one opossum skin in
change. 90,
and after taking up collection, departed
on his weary way.

Chinese Money.

The Chinese probably illustrate In the
most extreme manner the length to
which loose views concerning currency
can be carried. The history of their cur
rency presents that mingling of the gro
tesque with the tragic which most of
their actions have when viewed through
Western eyes. Coin money was known
among them as early as the eleventh
century before Christ, but their inability
to comprehend the principles upon which
a currency should be based, has led them
into all sorts of eXtravagances, which
have been attended with disorder, fam
inc and blOOdshed. Coins came at last
to be made so thin that 1000 of them
piled together were only three inches
high then gold and silver were aban-
doned; and copper, tin, shells, skins,
stones and paper were given a fixed val
ne, and used until, by abuse, all the ad-
vantages to be derived from the use Of
money were lost and there was nothing
left for the people to do but to 60 back
to barter, which they did more than
once. They cannot be said now to have
a coinage; 2,90O years ago they made
round coins with a square hole in the
middle, and they have made no advance
beyond that yet. The well known cash
is cast-brass coin of that description,
and, although it is valued at about one
mill and half Of our money, and has to
be strung in lots of thousand to be COM
puted with any ease, it is the sole mea-
sure of value and legal tender of the
country. Spanish, Mexican, and our new
trade dollars, are employed in China
they pass because they are necessary for
larger operations, and because faith in
their standard value has become estab-
Hshed; but they are current simply as
ingots, with their weight and
fneness indicated
