Eggs for Winter.

What is the use Of going to the
useless expense, pains, and trouble
in trying to pack eggs so they will
come out nice and fresh after hav-
ing been packed for several
months? 1--WE give it up, as We
generally do other conundrums
and knotty problems" says a
friend OF ours. We answer, that
packing eggs in late summer or
early fall has certain advantages
iii some eases, but there is another
way OF having eggs for winter use,
and very simple it is. No receipt
is necessary, nor do We intend to
divulge the secret process of any
of those who understand how to
pack eggs for winter use, and are
willing to divulge the wonderful
process for a modest consideration
as are certain who send out circu-
lars to catch the unwary.
The process We have in view is
simple enough, and merely con
sists in having good, young, heal
thy fowls, giving them good food
and plenty of it, wheat and wheat
screenings in preference to super,
abundance of CORN, good fresh
water, vegetables, and scraps OF
meat, etc, and by keeping then
only in good, warm and comfort
able houses, where it will not take
all they can eat to keep up the
proper amount of warmth in the
body, leaving nothing for the pro
duction of eggs.
Now, reader, you have the won
derful secret, see that you Try i

When hens are confined in linn
tied quarters, there is more danger
of their acquiring the ''unpardon-
able sim of egg eating than when
they have free range. To protect
ourselves against the consequences
of this unnatural habit in the hens
they should be allowed a liberal
supply of suitable nests, placed in
convenient and secluded retreats,
and furnished with wooden OF por-
celain nest eggs. The eggs should
be collected two or three times a
day, and not allowed to accumu-
late in the nests. otherwise the
hens will lay in only a few nests
where the greatest number of eggs
are, and the effort to obtain poss-
ession of such nests often result IN
the breaking OF the eggs. besides
the besmearing OF the nest, eggs,
and hens. There is then presented
to the fowls so strong temptation
to eat the broken eggs that it is
often irresistible; and thus is
formed an appetite which will be
gratifed to a degree that will
greatly lessen the egg receipts of
the poultry yard. Kill all Offend
ers promptly.

Passengers can now take g train up the
Riga, because it was one OF the most pop
ulas Of ascents and its popularity was
largely due to the facility with which
the ascent was achieved The great size
of the mountain, its bulk and extent,
made the necessary gradients less steep
and the line thus larger, the zgzags moro
frequent, but the ascent less sheer. Ria-
tus w4ll be q much more arduous pieoe of
engineering, but many difficulties have
now been mastered which seazned insur-
rnountable a few years ago. III
On the whole the Riga railway was not
the success 1t was expected 10 be- On
the level railways have indeed supplanted
coaches, but on the mountain-side the
difficulty itself Is one Of the attractions
of the ascent The Italian climate does
not favor pedestrianisrn. and the crater
of volcano commands universal inter

ascribsd the construction Of the railway

THE GROWTH OF NEWSPAPERS.

A Few Items OF Interest Cleaned from

( The wonderful growth of American
newspapers is shown by @ comparison
bdAween the directories published in i776
and in the present year. The one CON.
tains a its sixteen small pages a list of
thirty-seven newspapers which were pub
lished Ia this country no years ago. The
other is almost as large as an unabridged
dictionary, and in its 1000 pages con
tains the names of Ia, 100 newspapers
and periodicals Of all classes. OF this
large List, only seven were found in the
directory of l77e. The net gain of the
year has been e6s. The daily newspa-
pers number l.elS, a gain Of SO. There
are about 1900 periodicals of all kinds
which presumably enjoy circulation of
more than 5000 copies.
4 The increase in the rural weekly press,
comprising about two-thirds of the whole
list, has been most marked In states like
Kansas and Nebraska. Kansas Is also
accredited with the greatest gain IN
daily newspapers. In Massachusetts the
weekly press Is growing, but magazines
a1d monthly publications are losing
ground. The tendency of this latter
class seems to be toward New York city,
as at least twenty-three monthly period
icals have been established here during
the year.

Dyspeptio Dweiiers in the Suburbs.


A very sensible physician who lives in

well known among physicians practicing
In the suburban towns of large cities. 1t
Is the effect of having to catch train.
The stomach is as easily prevented from
-secreting the gastric juice as q COW is
from giving down her milk. The cow
q must be calm and happy or the milk will
not come; and the man must. be quiet,
leisurely and free from anxiety when he
eats or the descent of food into his stom-

Now, these fellows that live in the su
burbs, so my medical friend says, always
eat breakfast with the timetable in theii
minds and their eyes on the clock. More
over, 1t often happens that they are &
}, few minutes late, and they make up fol
4 this by taking good run to catch th.

NATIVES OF COUNTY CORK.

Potatoes Twenty-0ne Times q week-In
typical Attire-An Interview.
The diet Of the Irishnnan in this part
Of the country is, of course, potatoes and
milk. Ashe himself puts 1t, he has POI
tatoes twenty-one times a week. In the
event OF q blight, such as the historic
one, the result in certain parts Of Ireland
could scarcely be less disastrous than at
any former period, II one may Judge
from the physiqae Of bis consumers. the
diet requires no accommodation OF the.
medical faculty, for . more stalwart race
it would be difficult to find. In this cor
ner Of the country 80 long preserved"
we should expect to find the natural
Irishman, and we certainly found him.

spoken; but at the same time the major

have accustomed rs. To the visitor from

to see him 10 tall hat, blue tailed coat,
and knee-breeches at work in his
wretohed plot, like . philosopher out for
| little recreation. 1t is not so much the
style OF his garments, however, that
makes their picturesqueness. it is their
positively miraculous raggedness. We
feel that this raggedness has quite passed
the ssage Of disreputability, and has
actually become orr,amentation. But it
is above all the hat that fixes the atten-
ton. We have often closely inspected
it, and our wonder never ceased how, in
the course of single life, any hat, how
ever vvaaher-beaten and however
brutally used, could attain that pre-
Adamite look
