Inebriate cures, or retreats for habitu-
al drunkards, which have been estab-
lished in England, do not, according to
the report of the official inspector, appear
to have accomplished much reformation.
The inspector, Mr.. Holman, admits that
he is unable to point out single case
where permanent cure has been effect
ed. In several cases, however, some
good has resulted, and the general
health of the patients has improved, OF
course, during their stay in the retreats.
The experiment has been conducted up
on n small scale. The most successful
Of the American retreats have hardly re-
formed one out of fifteen of those sub

l A novel expedient for preventing &C

Britain has been proposed by a sugges-

the Government remit the passenger
duty % every ccmpany which works its
lines without any preventabie accident.
The Pail Mall Gazette points out two
objections 70 this scheme: The Govern
ment would naturally hesitate to sur
render such an important source of
revenue. and the public would object to
bribing the companies into doing what
is nothing more than their duty.

STATE OF MINNESOTA, DEPARTMENT OF STATE
BUREAU OF STATISTICS, ST. PAUL. August 1st
1881.
According to law, l hereby present the fol-
lowing statements of the acreage and Weld of
the principal cereals of the state for the wear
1850, and also the acreage for 1881, as COM
piled by me from official returns made to this
bureau. .'s.-'.~ 49,
The total acreage Of wheat for 1880. as Civ
en- in the table below, is !,96O,O73 acres, and
the acreage Of the same cereal for ISL is
2,9bO,67S acres, showing an increase of only
tO5 acres.
The crop for 1850 is reported to be So
37l,799 bushels, which gives an average yield
per acre for the State of 13 80 bushels
The average yield per acre for the state of
the other principal cereals was for 1880: Oats,
~. 60 bushels; corn, BLOT bushels; barley,
1921 bushels. And the increase in acreage
for 1881 is: Oats, sos per cent corn, ~ So
per cent, and barley II. "a per cent.
In regard to this years wl'eat crop, the re-
ports differ considerably. Storms and floods
gave done more or less damage in different
localities; and the chinch bug shave spread over
. much larger area and have caused much in
jury. On the whole, however, the latest re-
ports are quite favorable, especially from the
northern part of the state, and the prospects
are now, that the state will produce fair crop
OF wheat, while the other cereals promise
more than average results Very respec fully

then dip the fresh eggs one by one into it

drying, thin, hard, CLASSY film remains,
which serves as an admirable protection

Eggs thus coated and stored in charcoal
powder Or mixture of charcoal and bran
would keep very long time.
In storing eggs in charcoal the latter
should be fresh and perfectly dry. If the
eggs are not stored when perfectly fresh
they will not keep under any circumstances.
broken egg stored with sound ones will
sometimes endanger the whole lot. In
packing, the small end Of the egg should
be placed downward; if in charcoalor other
powder they must be packed SO that the
shell of one egg does not touch that of an
other, the interspaces being filed with the
powder.
Under all circumstances stored eggs
should be kept in as cool place as posi-
BILE. Frequent change Of temperature
must be avoided.

Scientific Notes.

It is now generally known that the largest
known pyramid rests on American soil.
The Pyramid of Pueblo, in Mexico is larger
than the great Pyramid of Cheops, in
Egypt. The latter covers only forty four
acres of ground, and was originally 600 feet
high. 1t is made of sun-dried Drick, and
is supposed to have been built 1000 years
ago.
Color blindness as cause of disasters is
now tolerably we'll recognized by those in
trusted with the safety of passengers on
land or by water. Sounds, however, as
well as colors, are employed as sig
nails, and the inability to distinguish the
former may prove fatal as lack of sensi-
bility to the latter. Sometimes, too, per-
sons having excellent eyes have very poor
ears, and the contrary is also true. But
perhaps the gravest source of catastrophes,
especially in railroad travel, is the tenden-
cy of engineers to what may be called alb
sence of mind, especially when those men
manage their locomotives for months and
years over the same monotonous track.
Rene, the Stettin piano maker, has made
an important discovery in the way of pre-
pairing the wood for pianos, especially the
resonance of wood, so that the instru-
ments resist all the influence of tempera-
fuse and moisture. It consists in sub
jeeting the woodto the action of pure oxy-
gen ozonized by the passage of the electric
current, and heated. The tone of the pi-
ano is said to then improve with age rath-
or than to deteriorate.

The Preser walton Of Eggs.

From the Scientific American.
The question, How can eggs be preserv-
ed for market2" just now engages the at
tention of many of our readers. The fol-
lowing will prove Of timely interest to
many:
In the common Timing" process tight
barrel is half flied with cold water, into
which are stirred slaked lime aud salt in
the proportion Of about one half poun d Cor
every pail or bucket of water. Some
dealers use no salt, and others use small
quantity OF nitre one quarter pound to the
half barrel of pickle. Into this the eggs
which must be perfectly fresh and sound,
are let down with a dish, when they set
tie to the bottom, small end down. The
eggs displace the liquid, SO that when the
barrel is full Of eggs it is also full Of the
pickle. Eggs thus picked, If kept in q
cool place, will ordinarily keep good for
several months. Long storage in this
liquid, however, is apt to make the shells
brittle and impart limy taste to the con-
tents. This may be avoided in great meas
ure, by amounting the eggs all over with
lard before putting in the pickle. Eggs
thus prepared are said to keep perfectly for
six months or more when stored in q cool
cellar. .ss
A much better method Of storing eggs is
the following; Having selected perfectly
fresh eggs, put them, dozen or more at q
time, into small willow basket, and i'm ;
merse this for five seconds in boiling water
containing about five pounds Of common
brown sugar per gallon Of water. Place
the eggs Immediately after on trays to dry.
The scalding water causes the formation Of
thin skin of hard albumen next the inner
surface Of the shell, the sugar effectually
closing all the pores Of the latter.
The cool eggs are then packed, small end
down, in an intimate mixture Of one meas.
ure Of good charcoal. finely powdered, and
