How to Tell Good Eggs.

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 is laid day or more, the
shell comes off easily when boiled.
A fresh egg has 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.
Eggs packed in bran for 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 an egg, shell and all.
ii the egg is clear and golden in APP
pearance when held to the light, ii is
good; if dark or spotted, it is bad.
The badness Of an egg can sometimes
be told by shaking it near the holders

The Man at the Junction.

Six railway passengers were put down
OF junction to wait for a cross-line
train. The little depot was the only build
ing in sight, and the man in charge Of it
was not a telegraph operator. He simply
kept the station-house and tagged the
trains, and he was no more responsible for
the running of trims than the Tycoon of
Japan. Every ono Of the six realized
this, and yet it wasn't over two minutes
before one Of the passengers approached
him and asked;

"You guess so Don't you knowP'
"No, sir.
"You don't, ehP Then how do you
know il isn't an hour late 2"

Here he was elbowed away by the old

wanted to know

In the course Of the next ten minutes
the other two men approached and in
dulged in about the same style of con

minutes he was asked what time it was

Cruelty 70 Fish.


Talking with gentleman Of "a years
"a man OF great experience in practical
life. and withal one Of humane instincts
and principles-we gathered many IN
teresting suggestions and ideas, that
would be worth repeating. Among 9TH
er things, lie referred to a lifelong prac-
tice he had always observed. In catch
ing fish. he never failed to kill them inn
uediately upon drawing them ont OF the
water. which is their natural element.
Every boy knows this fact, yet hardly
one IN hundred stops TO think that q
living fish, deprived Of the peculiar
means of respiration that the water fur
pighes. must suffer similarly to human
being cut off from its usual supply OF
atInospherie air. Death by sufiocation
a regarded as terrible, and fish out Of
water. being deprived Of the oxygen
that sustains its Blood, doubtless suffers
intensely. IL Is the easiest thing TO kill
4 fish. either by striking it slight blow
nnon the head or cutting its throat. 1t
K well known that the flesh Of ami
mails wounded and then left to
! die is unfit for food, and expert
enced fishermen say that fish

table. But, aside from the question Of
food, the subject should be considered
as one of principle. We know by the
fierce struggles Of the captive fish it is in
severe pain, andsllsmanity dictates that
it should be speedily put out Of misery.
We have no right to inhict needless
suffering upon any creature, and the
torture Of fish is quite as bad as the
torture of dog or q horse. Nearly
every day during the fishing season may
be observed boys carrying large string
of fish through the streets, the move
ments Of which show that they are aliv'
and in great pain and misery. In mos
cases this is the result of thoughtless
ness or ignorance. Most boys woulS
dislike to be thought cruel, and, il thel
were instructed by their parents ant
J others on this subject, would probably
follow the rule of humanity in the treat
ment OF fishes, as they do in the care Q
domestic animals. We trust our yount

PROF. RAouI PIcTET, of Geneva, is
engaged in working out a problem in
marine architecture, the proper solution
Of which be believes will effect revolu-
ton in ship building. His object of
study has been the construction Of a
keel which shall cause the ship TO glide
over the water instead Of pushing its
way through. The resistance of the
water to the passage of vessel is in
this way reduced to minimum. He is
now experimenting with keel upon this
principle.
