To be even with the white leaguers
of Mississippi and Louisiana the col
ored people of Virginia, taking pattern
after the agitators, have formed a
black league, the object of which is to
force land owners to work their land
on shares, and the leaguers pledge
themselves not to work for any land
owner for wages, and to prevent 9TH
ers from doing so. 1t is feared they
will engage in "Boycotting" in order
to carry their point. The land own
ers are thoroughly alarmed, and are
organizing on the other hand and
pledeing themselves not to rent land
to colored men. The land owners de-
clare that rather than yield they will
import white laborers from the north
and from Europe.

Eggs as EOO1.

Would it not be wise to substitute
more eggs for meat in our daily diet?
About one-third of the weight of an egg
is solid nutriment. This is more than
can be said of meat. There are no
bones, no tough pieces that have been
laid aside. A good egg is made up of
ten parts shell, sixty parts white and
thirty parts yelk. The white Of an egg
contains sixty-six per cent. water, the
yelk ifty-two per cent. Practically an
egg is animal food, and yet there is
none of the disagreeable work of the
butcher necessary to obtain it. The
vegetarians of England use eggs freely,
and many of these men are eighty and
ninety years old, and have been re-
markedly free from illness. Eggs are
best when cooked four minutes. This
takes away the animal taste that is of
fensive to some, but does not harden
the white or yelk so as to make them
hard to digest. An egg if cooked very
hard is difficult of digestion except by
those Of stout stomachs such eggs
should be eaten with bread and masti-
Gated very finely. An egg spread on
toast is food fit for a king, if kings de-
serve any better food than any body else,
which is doubtful. Fried eggs are less
wholesome than boiled ones. An egg
dropped into hot water isnot only clean
and wholesome, but a delicious morsel.
Most people spoil the taste of their
eggs by adding pepper and salt. A lit
tie sweet butter is the best dressing.
Eggs contain much phosphorus, which
is supposed to be useful to those who
use their brains much.-PouHry Revieeo

The Decoration Of a Room.

Crude white is in favor with house.
wives for ceilings-"it looks SO clean"
That Is Just its fault. Il lookss so clean,
even when it is not, that it makes all
else look dirty, eyen though It may be
clean. To paint the fiat ceiling Of q
moderate sized room By hand is simply
a waste OF labor. 1t is only at great
personal inconvenience that one can
look long at it, while, as a matter Of
fact, no ones cares to do so. You see it
occasionally, by accident and for a
moment, and that casual glimpse
should not be a shock to the eye, as it
rs as we'll to tint it in accordance with
the room, OF eve cover it with a dap
cred paper, which will to some extent
withdraw the attention from the cracks
that frequently disfgure the ceilings
OF modern houses. What hand-paint-
ing We can afford may best be reserved
for the PANELS or doors, window-shut
tiers, and the like, where it can be seen
these doors and the other woodwork
being painted in two or three shades of
%colors, fiat or vanished, according as
We prefer softness Of tone or durability
Of surface. Perhaps it will be best in
this instance that the woodwork should
fall in with the tone of the dado but
this is not a point on which any rule
can be laid down. The decoration Of
the panels should be in keeping with
the wall paper patterns. 1t may be
much more pronounced than they, but
still it must not assert itself. One
great point of consideration in the dec
Grafton of a room is the relation of the
various patterns one to another. 1t
may often be well to sacrifice an other
wise admirable design simply because
you can find nothing else to go with it.
A single pattern, once chosen, will Of
ten control the whole scheme of deco
ration.-Mdgdzine Of Art

of spirits of wine, rubbing the spots with
the hand. The grease becomes powder

Hens Nests on the Ground,

THE good luck in Matching eggs Of a
hen that steals her nest in a field, sug-
gested theidea of placing earth in q box
before setting hens in them. The nest
should be made SO large that the hen
can just fill it, not very deep, and as
nearly fiat inside at the bottom as pos
sible, so that the eggs may not lean
against each other, or they are very
liable to be broken, especially by the
hens turning them. There is less trou-
BILE from vermin when nests are so
made, and the hen being more contented
is more likely to be successful in
Matching eggs.
