How She keeps Eggs.

An Ohio woman who claims to have
had twenty years of successful experience
in the matter, furnishes this recipe for
keeping eggs: Take good fresh eggs and
rub them over with melted lard, thus
closing the pores in the shell. Then pu;
layer of oats or bran in a box and O
layer of eggs, setting them on the small
end and not allowing them to touch each
other-separating them by oats or bran.
In this way fill the box, and the eggs
will keep fresh.

If the gentlemen who tarred and

kindly return our clothes they will
confer lasting favor. We are still
wearing the feathers, and while,
owing to the thoroughness of our

comfortable for house wear still the
gentlemen who have come out with

A Fatal Wreck.

HAvERHILL, MASS, Jan. 10.-A
frightful accident occurred to the
Portland express train on the Bos-
ton and Maine railroad, which left
Boston at one o'clock this afternoon,
the scene of the disaster being near
the Haverhill bridge. which spans
the Merrimac river between Brad
ford and Haverhill. The train con-
sisted of seven cars drawn by the en-
CINE Norris, Engineer Thos. French,
and in charge Of Conductor Wey-
mouth.
As the express rounded the curve
two cars left the rails and went
crashing into and demolishing the
water-tank house, The car that
crashed into the tank-house knocked
the foundation out, letting the heavy
tank down upon the car, crushing
through the top of the car and doing
fearful work within. The next car
behind telescoped the car ahead of
it, adding to the havoc. The killed
and wounded were mostlyin those
two cars.
The list of killed foots up nine, as
follows: Clarence Lakewood, resi-
dence unknown; John O'Brien, of
Bradford; G. P. Goodwin, wife and
child, of Kennebunk, Me. +; VIM.
Taylor, section hand; A. 7. Walker,
of Harrison, Me Chas. Thurlow, of
Newton Junction, N. H., and jose
plus Shaw, of Boston. The Good
win family were all killed together,
the child in its mothers arms. They
were in the second coach. The peo-
pie of Haverhill are doing everything
possible for the wounded.
The accident is supposed to have
been occasioned by a switch-rod
breaking after the engine and three
forward cars had passed over the
switch. A careful examination was
made by General Manager Furber,
assisted by several other well-known
railroad officials, to see if any Of the
wheels on the coaches were broken,
but they were found to be all right.
The journals on the wrecked coaches
were also carefully examined but
found to be perfect. The switch and
its connections were so badly broken
that it is impossible at present to as
certain the exact truth, though some
think the spreading of the rails at
this point caused the accident.
