How TO HAVE FRESH EGGs.-"It Is
sometimes desirable to store away eggs
In the summer or fall, when prices are
so low that we cannot afford them, and
keep them till i'm the winter when they
are often very scarce add will be keen
ly relished or can be disposed of ut a
good price. To keep them thus we do
not believe there is more simple
and efficient way than the one have
always prac'iced, and which was sue
cessfully practiced by my father for
the last thirty or forty years. This
Is simply taking none but perfectly
fresh and sound eggs and setting them
in layers on the tip or small end i'm
box or basket, or anything that will
hold eggs. We do not put anything
between them, nor do we put them up
''airtight," but we always keep them
in the cellar. Eggs that we have put
away in this position last fall, are to-
day-after six months-as good and
fresh as the day they we've laid, and we
have never found one that was spoiled
or stale among them, when thus served.
we feel confident that they would keep
good and fresh for one year" We can
not indorse the above from our own
experience, but we intend TO give the
plan trial.

CARE OF FARM IMPLEMENTS. - For
farm implements OF all kinds having
metal surface exposed, for knives and
forks and other household apparatus,
indeed for all metals likely TO be in
jured by oxidation or trusting" we
know of no simpler or more effective
application than that furnished by the
late Professor Olmstead. He used it
on air pump telescopes and various
other apparatus. Take any quantity of
good lard, and TO every half-pound or
so add of common resin an amount
about equal TO half the size of an egg
or less-a little more or less is of no
consequence. Melt them slowly to-
gether, stirring as they cool. Apply
this with cloth or otherwise, lust
enough to give thin coating to the
metal surface to be protected. 1t can
be wiped off nearly clean from the sur
face, where il will be undesirable, as
In the case of knives and forks, etc.
The resin prevents rancidity, and the
mixture obviate n ready access of air
and moisture. A fresh application may
be needed when the coating is washed
OIL by the friction of beating storms or
otherwise. There was talk of patent
ing this RECEIPT at one time, but Prof.
Olmstead decided to publish it for the
general good.

Boys who Learned to sew

When the late Admiral - was n
young midshipman he was sent on a voyage
around the world in one OF King George
| Ill. 8 ships. He was three years away,
and as he grew very fast he found himself
sailing in the Pacific Ocean with hardly a
| stitch Of clothes to his back. His mother.
sister Of Admiral Lord --. had taught
her little boy TO sew; so he got some can
vas out OF the ships stores and cut out and
made himself new suit of clothes; his
| mother was very proud Of these, and when
her son was an Admiral she used to show
them TO her grandchildren and tell them
the story.
Rather more than thirty years ago a lady
went to call on another one rainy afternoon !:
the house was built on an island in a lake
in Ireland. In the dining-ro0m were two
little boys sitting on footstools, one on each
side of the fireplace. Probably the visitor
looked astOnished, for The mother of the
little boys said in low tone: "Plcase don't
laugh at them; what should | do with
them on this island on rainy day if they
were too proud to sew2" One of these
boys was lieutenant in the Crimean war
he fought none the worse because he knew
how to use the needle as well as the sword.
when he, with his men, was for eighteen
hours in the Redan on the memorable 18th
of June.
The chaplain of an Irish institution had
seen, when he was young, the straits TO
which the French aristocratic refugees were
neduced from having to do things for them
selves, and he got tailor to come into his
house and teach his boys how to cut out
and make and mend their own clothes.
One of the boys is now an old general, but
he scws on his buttons to this very day
aud, when he was on service in Asia, he
not only mended and patched his own
clothes, but those of his brother officers.
All the men of his regiment knitted their
own stockings
