PRESERVING EGGS,
Various Systems Successfully EmplOye

Various Systems Successfully Employed
| by English Agriculturists.
We have a good deal to learn yet
about the preservation of eggs. Our
system of lining does tolerably well.
but the reason is that we'll lined eggs
do not 'give themselves away to the
ordinary customer. They may have
nearly the appearance of fairly good
fresh eggs. There are prizes given
annually at the London Dairy show for
preserved eggs. All samples are kept
for three months at the office of tho
society. and are then opened at tho
show. The test is considered to be a
severe one. This year the prizes for
the best preserved eggs were given.

good sweet bran. thin end downward;
second. to some rubbed with a mixture
of bees wax and oil, and packed in salt,
and third, to eggs rubbed with mutton

eggs had really been simply packed in
bran, no effort having been made to
close the pores of the eggs, it seems 3
little remarkable, still we have no
reason to doubt the truth of the state
mcnt.
Eggs kept in dry place begin at
once to lose moisture, the ar bubble in
the thin or round end begins soon per-
ceptibly to enlarge on account of this
loss of moisture. The germs of fer

ing observable next the air cell.
The wonder is that eggs kept for
some time, and in which some change
must have begun, hatch and produce
healthy chicks.
If fresh-laid egg. still warm. be
smeared with some pure oil or tallow,
and then at once packed in bran, it
may be expected to keep a good while.
Butter is excellent for tn 8 purpose; but
it should be melted and heated long
enough to expel all the water, which re-
auires a rather high heat-above that of
boiling water. Treated in this way, eggs
will be fit to boil for the table many
days. or even weeks, longer than eggs
without treatment.

spores or germs of fermentation to keep

white-of-egg smeared over fresh eggs
forms one of the best means for ex-

Whatever attempt is made to keep
eggs, the highest success will follow
when the freshest possible eggs are at
once placed where the air and its malign
influences will have the least possible

Rare Ioio Manuscripts.

Two interesting INNS. have lately
been presented to the British Museum
by MIR. Bourne, British Consul at Chung
king, in China. The larger of the two,
which fills seyenty-three folios, is in the
Lo1o character, and is written in poetry
of five characters to line. The smaller
one (thirteen folios) is in the writing OF
the Shui-kai, Shan tribe living in the
southern portion of the province OF
Kwei-chow. This is the first specimen
of the writing of this tribe which has
reached Europe. The characters are
plainly adaptations of contracted forms
of an early kind of Chinese writing, with
an admixture of pictorial signs. The
work is On divination, each sentence
ending with words of good or evil
augury.-N y. Post.

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER,

The Intimate and Confidential Relations
Which Should Exist Between Them.
A young girl, beautiful and attract
i've, while engaged to be married to an
honest, honorable gentleman 4 few
years ago. became entangled in the tolls
of a scapegrace, who wished to marry
her solely for her fortune. The girl was
giddy and weak and unable to free her.
self.
"Why do you not 60 to your mother?''
asked friend. lit is she who should
protect you from such a villain
Mother is at the head of two or three
charitable organizations" was the re-
ply. "She has too many foundlings
and emigrants and ragged schools to
care for to attend to my love affairs
Her mother knew nothing of the mat
ter until she broke her engagement and
married the man whom she feared even
before marriage, who treated her with
cruelty and forced her to leave him in a
wear, a broken-hearted woman. like
too many American girls. she was left
to choose her husband without the help
or advice of any friend.
Now it is right for a mother to take
part in organized charities, and to care
for foundlings, emigrants or any other
of Gods needy creatures, provided she
does not neglect those children whom
He has put especially in her charge.
The duty of mother to her girls does
not end when she has fed, clothed and
educated them.
One of the most womanly women IN
the court of Queen Victoria, herself
middle-aged, presented friend to her
aged mother with the tender words:
"She is not only my mother, but my
most intimate friend"
How many of the girl-readers claim
their mother as an intimate friend? 1t
is usually the fault of the daughter if
this loving comradeship does not exist.

NOBODY KNOWS BUT MOTHER.

Nobody knows of the work It makes
To keep the home together;
Nobody knows OF the steps il takes,
Nobody knows-but mother.
Nobody listens to childish woes
Which kisses only smother;
Nobody panied by naughty blows,
Nobody-oniy mother.
Nobody knows of the sleepless care
Bestowed on baby brother:
Nobody knows of the tender prayr,
Nobody-only mother.
Nobody knows of the lessons taught
OF loving one another;
Nobody knows OF the patience sought,
Nobody-Only mother.
Nobody knows of the anxious fears
Lest darlirgs may not weather
The storm of life after years,
Nobody knows-but mother.
Nobody kneels at the throne above
To thank the Heavenly Father,
For that sweetest giit-a mothers love;
Nobody can-but mother.

About five o'clock the vast mass of
