The recommendations touching changes IN tiie
tenement house laws made to the Tenement
House Commission yesterday are in accordance
with common sense and experience. Especially
to be commended are the clauses compelling
owners of these buildings to send their names
and addresses to the Board of Health, ana max
ing the mailing of an order to the owner legal
notice Of changes in his houses required by
law. 1t has been difficult enough in the past 10
discover certainly just what was needed 10 Do
done to put tenement houses IN good condition.
but it has been even more difficult to hnd the
owners and to force them to make such repairs
or alterations as were required. Another e4-
cellent suggestion is in regard to the establish
ment of a commission, to sit for two weeks III
each year. to decide what amendments to the
statutes the experience of the past twelve
months has shown are desirable.

TWO' MILITARY CAMPAIGNS.

The first movement of Lord Wolscleys force
from Korti has been rapidly conducted. General
Stewart, advancing with the mounted infantry.
the Guards and a camel-train, has reached
Gakdul, an oasis with wells, ninety miles dis
tant. Leaving the Guards to protect the sup
plies, he has returned to KOrd with the mount
ed infantry and is now ready to escort the main
body to Gakdul. Thence the entire column
will march across the desert to Shendy on the
Nile, where communications can speedily be
opened with KhartOum. Meanwhile, General
Earle is marching from Korti to Abu Hamed.
which has probably been selected as new and
permanent base of supplies for the expedition
Even with that village occupied the Difficult
ties of transport will be almost insuperable
The line Of communications will extend from
Assouan to kOrOscO by river, thence across the
desert to Abu Hamed, and thence by river to
Shendy and Khartoum. If the relief expedi.
ton had marched from the seabOard to Berber,
a military railway could have been constructed
and the difficulties of transport would have
been greatly diminished. The British expedi-
tions to Abyssinia and Asbantee suffered from
similar embarrassments, but eventually tri-
umphed over them. Lord Wolseey's luck has
never yet deserted him.
The French troops have had something be-
sides skirmishing on the Chinese frontier The
enemy seem to have resumed hostilities after
being repulsed at Chu, and to have occupied
strong position in front of the French lines.
General Negrier, being compelled to take the
offensive, attacked the position, broke through
the line, captured two batteries of KruDps, and
routed the Chinese. This success has embold-

most curious instances of mysterious disap-

his habits were not such as to suggest that in
q day or two his friends may regret having
mentioned his absence. Neither is the suppo-
sition that he was robbed and murdered en-
tirely reasonable. Mr.. Saxer did not have an
unusual sum Of money with him, and he was
large, powerful man whom robbers would look
at twice before attacking. In fact, no theory

Bill Arp in a Strange Tavern.

Where do all the people come from and what are they after? The cars are full of them and the hotels are crowded wherever I go. They come and they go. They seem as restless as the troubled sea As sit among them in this large lounging room cannot help wondering what is their business and what they are thinking, and how many are happy and how many have some secret sorrow, and wish was 8 mind reader and could follow them in their thoughts of home and family-wiie, children or mother away off somewhere. How much We are all alike if we only knew it. Sometimes venture remark to stranger who sits near me by the stove. When I draw them out on home and distant kindred it seems a welcome subject, and as we get more familiar, they warm up, and will venture to tell me of their families and their business. Strangers in a strange land are very quick to appreciate civility. A man may be offish and uncommunicative when at home but when he gets away of he looks longingly around for friend somebody that knows somebody that he kEows. At times I have felt awfully lonesome in my wanderings, and would have reioiced with unfeigned gladness to have seen my little dog Fido. I could have almost cried over the affec- tionate wag of his little tail. This ever constant mingling of the people from all the States is obliged to do good. We are all assimilating; we are rubbing against each other more and more every day, and we understand each other and find that we are all just human and are sailing in the same big boat upon the sea of life. The North and the South, the East and the West are being fast drawn together, and not even the politi- clans can much longer keep us apart.- Atlanta Constitution.

The Men W h0 Succeed.

Says the ManuJacturer8' Gazette; "The young men who receive promo ton are the men who do not drink on the sly. They are not the men who are always at the front whenever there is any strike, nor are they the men who watch for the clock to strike twelve and leave their picks hanging in the air. They are not the men who growl if they are required to attend to some duty a few minutes after the whistle has sounded. They are the men usually who pay the closest attention to the de- tails of their business, who act as though they were trying to work for their em- iployer's interest instead of to beat him at every crook and turn. They are the men who give the closest attention to every practical detail, and who look con- tinually to see whether they can do any better or not. This class of men are never out of job. They are scarce. They never strike, they never loaf, and they do not ask for their pay two or three weeks before pay day."

The method of preserving eggs which is practiced by large dealers is picking or lining them. Following are direc- ;ions given by the United States Butter and Cheese Association:
 To make the pickle use stone lime and fine salt and water in the propor- tions here stated: one bushel of lime, eight quarts of salt and twenty five ten quart pails of water. The lime must be of fine quality, free from sand and dirt lime that will slake white, fine and clean. Have the salt clean and the water pure and sweet.
 Stake the lime with portion of the water, then add the balance of the water and the salt; stir well three or four times at intervals, and then let it stand until well settled and cold. Dip or draw off the clear pickle into cask or vat in which the eggs are to be pre- served. When 1t is filled to the depth of 15 or IS inches, begin to put in the eggs, and when these are about one foot deep, spread over them some pickle that is little milky in appearance, made so by stirring up some of the light lime particles that settle last, and continue to do this as each lot of eggs is added. The object of this is to have the fine lime particles drawn into the pores of the shells and thereby seal the eggs. Care should be taken not to get too much of the lime in, that is, not enough to settle and stick 10 the shells of the eggs. The chief cause of thin watery whites in lined eggs is that they are not properly sealed in the manner described. Another cause is putting into the pickle old, stale eggs that have thin, weak whites. When the eggs are within four inches of the top of the cask or vat, cover them with factory cloth and spread two or three inches of the lime that settles in making the pickle, and it is of the greatest import. ance that the pickle be kept continually up over this lime. A thin basin (hold- ing six or eight dozen eggs), punched quite full of inch holes, edge untitled with leather, and a suitable handle about three feet long attached, will be found convenient for putting the eggs into the pickle. Fill the basin with eggs, put both under the pickle and turn the eggs, out; they will go to the bottom without breaking.
 When the time comes to market the eggs, take out of the pickle, clean them with water, dry quickly and pack as soon as dry, the same as if packing fresh eggs. The place, by the way, ir which the vats or tubs containing Timed eggs are kept should be free from al disagreeable odors, and when a uniform low temperature can be maintained, the lower the better, down to any point above freezing.
