A New Use for Eggs.

Everyone is familiar with the value
of the yolk of an egg as hair wash,
but perhaps may not be aware of its
virtue in clothing cleansing. Beaten
up with alchohol, eau de cologne, or
ether like OK gall, it keeps better and
is more powerful; or in simpler cases,
it may be used alone, or merely mixed
with water, to be rubbed on with fan
mel, for removing from colored mater
ials the stains of mud, or of coffee and
chocolate, when prepared with milk.
1t is frequently applied to velvet COL
lars and cuffs, and proves cleanser as
well as spot extractor. When it has
done its work it is washed off with
soap, and the material thoroughly
rinsed in pure water. Egg has spe-
cially good effect on those annoying
patches of wheel grease belonging to
the compound class of stains, as they
represent a mixture of stable grease,
iron and other substances. For remov-
ing stains not grease-from white or
light colored material, glycerine may
be tried, especially with coffee stains.

Weighing Silver Dollars.

In the mint at San Francisco there
are fifty women employed at salary
of $2.75 per day. The hours are from
nine o'clock in the morning until four in
the afternoon,w with the exception of Sat
urday, when work ends at two. Their
business is to weigh the gold and sill
yer after it has been rolled, annealed,
cut, and washed, and they are known
as adjusters. Each piece should weigh
4123 grains Tor silver dollar to be up
to the standard, slight discrepancy
being allowed on ether side. If coin
is found to be outside the limit, it is
returned by the adjuster if too light,
it is condemned, and must be remelt-
ed; if too heavy, it is filed to it's pro-
per weight.

Takers.

Who does not like to hear a really
good talker, whether IN the public
room or the private circle? Men may
glibly quote the adage. Speech is sill

be acknowledged that the silent man
is, as rule, at great disadvantage
compared with his neighbor who can
use his tongue we'll. and is, as the
phrase goes, good COMPANY
But how comparatively few are the
takers with whom we can find no
fault. Some are too egotistical, others
too censorious. One man annoys us
by being too argumentative: another
by asserting too readily to all that we
say, and thus, anomalous as it may
seem. blocking the road to converse

A Train in q Herd of Antelopes.

The west bound train between Green
river and Granger, on the Union Pa
ciic, recently encountered flock Of
1000 or 1,500 antelopes. The snow
was quite deep and drifted in places,
and the antelopss were running on the
roadbed, finding that the easiest road
to travel in. When they were first
encountered many of them were kill
ed, and the engineer, seeing that the
train might be derailed unless it was
slowed up, decreased the speed. The
antelopes kept short distance aheai
of the engine and were strung along
the road for quarter Of mile. They
would occasionally get some distance
from the engine and then would stop,
turn around and watched the head
light until the engine was fairly upon
them. They delayed the train half or
three-quarters Of an hour.

Water on Wheat Ground

The greatest enemy to the wheat
crop, says the Germantown Telegraph,
is too much water. 1t may be said that
the wheat root is more susceptible to
injury from too much water than ma
ny of us believe. To be sure, there is
general impression that an overdose
of water is bad, but the full force Of
the impression is seldom felt as it de-
serves to be. Water laying around the
roots does not always kill the wheat
plants, but many of the roots are in
iured, and the few that are left are not
able to do the work that all were in
tended to take part in doing If any
one will dig up wheat plant 10 spring
which has stood all winter in a wet
place, he viii! see exactly how this is.
Only living roots close to the surface
and all below this may be injured.
The English seem to understand
this water injury better than we do,
and provide against it on wheat lands
by numerous burrows; in some cases Of
fatish land twentieth of the whole
area may be counted as surface fur
rows; and yet with this waste of land,
as some would say, they beat us con-
siderablv in the number of bushels
they get per acre. 1t is supposed by
many that whether we have good
wheat season or bad one depends on
the quantity Of rain we get at various
seasons, or the condition of the ground
or Of the plants at the time the
rain falls. If it goes away rapidly
through the ground, it is good for the
plant, though IN large quantities; but
if it lies long it is an injury. Thus, if
a piece of land is rather fat and the
ground is frozen deep and stays frozen
after the surface has thawed, and rain
or melted snow is let in, the frozen
bottom keeps the water from passing
away, and SO injury results to the roots
On sloping ground hte water passes
out on the lower position, and in these
cases not so much injury results. No
doubt there are many causes which con-
spire to injure crops, but this overdose
of water is very likely to be one of
them, and it will be wise for all those
who are interested in wheat culture to
take every precaution to carry off the
water which may fall on the land
Open bitches or pillow burrows, as many
do; they are very useful to this end
Attend to this carefully, and it will be
found that wheat culture will be as
productive as ever it was, and will con-
tinue to be so.

A Dangerous Experiment in Mesmerism

A new and dangerous development
Of mesmerism was displayed the other
day at Paris to an admiring and sym
pathizing public by we'll known mes
merist, who at the same time is lion
keeper in a certain me1agerie. A
beautiful young girl, on whom the
spiritualist generally practices, was
brought into cage of lions, and, af-
ter being thrown into acataIepric sleep,
was submitted to the most frightful
ordeals. In one of these the head and
and arm of the girl were put into the
mouth Of lion, which had previous
ly been Infatuated by lashes from its
masters whip. But the apparently
dead body did not excite the animals
appetite. At the end of the scene the
the girl was released, and went smi-
ing away, while the mesmerist earned
rich laurels.
