Of course, the operators could only

Preserving Eggs.

Several ways of preserving eggs are
practiced. The object is to prevent
evaporation from the egg. Cutting of
the air from the contents of the egg
preserves them longer than will any
other treatment An egg which has
lain in bran even for few days will
smell and taste musty. Packed in lime
eggs will be stained. Covered with a
coat of spirit varnish eggs have kept so
perfectly that after the lapse of two
years chickens were Matched from them.
A good egg will sink in body of water;
if stale body of air inside the shell
will frequently cause it to float. When
boiled a fresh egg will adhere to the
shell, which will have a rough exterior;
if stale, the outside will be smooth and
CLASSY.
Looking through paper tube direct
ed toward the light an egg held to the
end of the tube will appear translucent
if fresh; but If stale it will be dark
almost opaque.
Spirit varnish fof preserving eggs is
made by dissolving gum shellac in
enough alcohol to make thin varnish.
Coat each egg with this and pack, little
end down, so that they cannot move, in
bran, sawdust, or sand; the sand is
best. Whatever is used for packing
should be clean and dry. For preserv-
ing in lime pickle is made of the best
stone lime, fine, clean salt and water
enough to make a strong brine, usually
sixty or sixty-five gallons of water, six
or eight quarts of salt, and bushel of
lime are used. The lime should be
Stacked with portion of the water, the
salt and the remainder of the water is
then added. Stir at intervals, and
when the pickle is cold and the sediment
has settled, dip or draw the liquid off
into the cask in which the eggs are to
be preserved. When only a few eggs
are to be picked stone jar will an

Judge Duffy, of Baltimore, decided
recently that the sale of a goodwill
without anything more does not pre-
vent the seller from setting up a SINH
lar business next door to the business
sold by him. To prevent that the pur-
chaser must have an express contract
with the seller to that effect. The law,
he said, will not imply such a covenant,
because it is in restraint of trade, and
for the same reason the sale of sign
with the firm name on it gives no ex-
elusive right to the purchaser in the
absence of an agreement for the use of
the firm name. baltimore ma. Sun.
