Methods OF Preserving Eggs.

At G recent poultry show in Birmingham,
England, prizes were awarded for the best
dozen of preserved eggs. They were sent in
two months before the date of the show, 8
short time 10 test any preserving process
thoroughly. The eggs were tested by being
boiled both soft and hard chat is for single
minute and half, and for ten minutes) and
then tested by the judges. Those that gained
the first prize had been simply
packed in common salt. They had not
lost sensibly by evaporation, had good
consistent albumen. and were of the best
flavor when boiled. Those that received the
second prizs were but slightly inferior to the
best and the process OF preserving is thus de-
scribed: Nett one part OF the white wax to
two parts Of spermaceti, boil and mix thor
oughly; or two parts clarified suet to one OF
wax, and two OF spermaceti. Take new-laid
eggs; rub with antiseptic salt or fine rice
starch. Wrap each egg in fine tissue paper,
putting the broad end downward; screw the
psper tightly at the top, leaving an inch to
hold il by. Dip each egg rapidly into the
fat heated to loo degrees. Withdraw,
and leave to cool. Pack broad end down
ward, in dry white sand or sawdust. The
London Agricultural Gazette adds: The
eggs SO preserved were admirable, and, prob
ably, had the contest been for a longer time,
would have stood first. But it is exceedingly
useful to know that eggs may be preserved
admirably for two months with no more
trouble than putting them in common salt
The other plan was superior in one respect;
on stripping off the waxed paper the shell
was as pure and clean as when laid; in fact,
the eggs might have sold as being fresh, if
Ut as new laid.

Bread Making.

The directions for making bread here given
are the same as those followed by an old
time southside Virginia cook, says Harper's
Weekly, and the bread made by them has
often taken prize at State fairs in ante bel.
lum days.
Bread Sponge-Two roasted potatoes,
mashed fine while still warm; half pint OF
flour; two tablespoonful OF white sugar;
half pint Of water; half cake of con-
pressed Yeast, dissolved in one-toarth of a
cup OF lukewarm water.
Bread-Four quarts of -four, four table.
spoOnfuls Of lard or butter, eight tablespoon
fuls OF white sugar and one tablespoonful of
salt, sifted together; three pints OF water;
the risen sponge; half pint of -four to use
IN kneadiDg; lard to grease the tops of the
loaves and rolls.
For rolls to be eaten at an O'Clock break
fast begin the sponge at 2 or clock of the
previous afternoon by MASKING two roasted
potatoes very fine and light. This is more
easily done while they are still warm.

Rob,s Fruit Farm.

ELLA Guernsey in New York Tribunal
Like an oasis in g desert, 80 Rob's fruit
farm looked to me when 1 first saw it one
MONDAY in summer, near the Nation" line.
Great fields of corn and plentiful harvests

Ro5's mother was brisk, cheerful little
woman, who bad her hands full caring tor
her large family of boys.
Rob came in to welcome rs, a slim, act

"Will you walk out and see Rob's or

Trees, flowers, and small fruits all about

Never did orchards and fruits delight me
as these. Great russett pears, blood.red and

There isn't another like it in all this
country" said the father, who had followed

Complimentary to Mr.. ConkIIng.

INV YORK, Nov. 13.--The World this
morning, in en- editorial on the next Senator
from New York, says: Would il not be to
the honor of the State, and to the credit OF
the people, if party considerations co1ld be
laid aside. and the Legislature be induce to
tender the United States Senstorship unani-
mously to Roscoe Conkling?"
The Graphic, this afternoon, in an edito-
rial very complimentary to Mr.. Conkling
says: What, now, il Mr.. Conkling should
be the Democratic candidate for United
States Senator? Has he friends enough
among Republicans of the Legislature to Sc
cure his election?'

The Age of Trees.

Many of our exchanges, both agricultural
and others, often print enormous statements
concerning the longevity of some of our
common forest trees. For the benefit of
readers who may have been misled by such
statements we append the following list,
showing the age of trees when their timber
is most valuable, both in EUrope and in the
United States Black walnut. $50 to 300yesrs;
royal oak, $50; quercus abs. or white oak,
200; European sweet chestnut, 200; American
chestnut, 1870; European linden, 12j; Dutch
or oad-leaved linden, 90 to 100; European
beech, 80 10 %; Scotch pine, 90; Norway
spruce, %; white willow, 40; sycamore maple,
30; alder, cherry and poplar % to 60. Ii IS
probable that most of those in the list
marked over 100 years are not very valuable
in this country after they are at the century
score. AS general thing the most valuable
stage of development in the timbsr of tree
is reached earlier in the United States than
in Europe, an important fact depending upon
the difference in climate.

WHAT H1ttory and TradltIOn Have 10 say
About This Mysterious Character.
Although conjecture has long been ex-
haustsd as TO the identity of the person IN
the lion Mask, yet the fact of such pris-
oner having been confined and dying in the
Bastile, as first made public by Voltaire, has
since been abundantly confirmed in all its
leading points. The journal OF NJ. de Jonca,
who was many years lieutenant de roi at the
bastile, gives an account of the prisoner be-
ing removed from the islam OF st. Margue-
rite on M. de st. Mars being appointed Gov
ernor of the Bastile. He says the prisoner
he has been called the Iron Mask, and that
he died in the Bastile and was buried on the
Goth of Nov ember, 1703 in the burying place
OF st. Paul. In the register OF this parish
there is the following en- try:

New Method of Preserving Grapes.

A Paris horticultural journal gives a new
process for preserving grapes fresh for sew
eral months, that is worth trying. 1t is an
improvement on the process now extensively
employed in France, by which the stems are
immeTsed in bottles of water to prevent
shriyeliDg The inventor of the process is
nurseryman of Villiers. He describes ii as
follows: "Cut the shoot with the clusters
attached, sharpen the lower end to point,
and stick it into a potato. / spread the
punches out on straw or dry hay, so that
they shall not touch each other. Thus pre-
pared, these shoots keep quite as we'll as If
the shoots with the punches attached were
inserted in bottles filed with water" 1t is
probably essential that the grapes be placed
IN dry, cool room.

There may be some excuse for the
advocacy of u Federal law regulating

Grating over the whole length of such
roads has many desirable features; the
national government Is probably the
only power in the land capable of sue

telegraph monopolies, and for this rea-
son q postal telegraph system may
some day become an imperative neces-
sity; yet is not Capitalization still
worse, and more dangerous to the lib
critics of the people, than the evils men-
toned? Any law taking from the States
their exclusive right i'm the matter of
self-government and lodging it in the
hands of the Federal government is
contrary to the spirit of the constitu-
ton, and ought not to receive the sup
port of any person who believes in the
doctrines of Washington, Adams or

The County's Poor.

Ed. Registar.-In your issue of two week.
since noticed your article about the poor
in which you spoke of the advisab,l ity of the
County's buyinga farm for the poor. Now
do not think, nor ever have thought, It the
best way to care for the poor. The real
poor, US a general thing, are not those who
can or could do heavy farm WORK, but all
those who are now and have been supported
by the County, in whole or i'm part, may do
many kinds of light work about u poor
home, with y few acres of land. Such a tract
as the County now owns, two miles east OF
Ironton, with proper buildings, could be
made a self-sustaining institution. Suppose
the County should sell the tract that was
purchased some years ago, and the moLey
applied in buildings, and stocking the farm |;
then give some man the use of the farm in
consideration that he take care of the poor,
with the privilege of all the labor he can get
from those applying for help. There are
great many small industries, such making
rag carpets, knitting stockings and socks,
raising chickens, turkeys, and all kinds of
small fruits: none of these are hard work,
from them. There was time, just after the
and friendless; but now, after twenty years
of peace, it does seem to me that there Is no
need that large portion of those asking for
aid should be helped. But the good Book
says, 'The poor We have always with you."
/ remember, when boy, reading a sermon
preached from that text. The author said,
Snow there are three kinds of poor. First,
the Lords poor. They are those who,
through no fault of theirs, but through sick
ness aud misfortune have been deprived of
property, but have at all times made an ex-
crtion to keep up aud get ahead, but failed.
These are the Lords poor, and are to be
helped and pitied. Second, the DEVILS poor;
and they are those who have become SO by
their own lack of industry and 'have wasted
their substance in riotous living given
themselves to dissipation and vice; and they
are to be pItied. Third, and last, are the
moor derils who think tue world owes them |
q living, and mean to have 1t, either by hook |
or crook; il not by crook, will take it by
hook. For such have no pity; they should
be treated rs Migrants, as the law for
Migrants provides" Now, Mr.. Editor, do
think 1t the duty of the proper authorities
to see that all able-bodied persons found
loafing around, without any visible means
