The Secretary of the Interior has
sent to the Senate the report of j. b.
McNamee relative to land grant wagon
roads in Oregon. The report shows
that grants of land were made by
Congress in 1864 and 1866 to aid in
the construction of these roads, in all
over 2.5OO,OOO acres. The report
shows that none of these roads were
ever constructed, although several
Governors of the State certified to
their completion. On these certifi-
Gates OF the Governors, patents have
been issued to these companies for
100000 acres Immediately on Sc
curing certificates of completion, the
land grants were sold, with view of
putting the lands in the hands of in
nocent purchasers. With the report

to be presented to Congress repeating
all OF said granting acts, declaring for
feited all rights, titles and claims
hereunder, and restoring to the pub
lie domain all lands granted except

II you wish to preserve eggs, look
at them through strong light. See
that they are perfectly clear, with not
dark spot through them. A good
way to tell fresh egg is by the air
bubble on the large end. The smaller
the air bubble the fresher the egg. A
fresh egg must be closely examined to
see the air bubble. Hold it up to an
egg tester, turn it around slowly and
look close near the top of the large
end. If the bubble looks large, say
one-quarter OF an inch deep, it should
not be used. Get a fresh egg, newly
laid, and make yourself familiar with
the position and size OF the air bubble.
You can then always tell a fresh egg,
as the bubble becomes larger and
larger every day. A fresh egg has a
somewhat rough shell, while the shell
of stale egg is very smooth. When
cooked, the contents of fresh egg
stick to the shell, and must be removed
with spoon, but stale egg, when
boiled hard, permits the shell to be
peeled off like the skin of an orange.
1t takes a longer time to boil fresh
egg hard than it does for stale egg,
and fresh eggs are more easily beaten
into froth than stale ones. You can
not, however, tell fertile egg until
after it has been under the hen week
though experts can tell after the fourth
day. 1t is very easy to tell a fresh
egg by using an egg tester; any kind
OF an egg tester will answer. Some
examine with the hand alone.

The Pacific Advertiser, of Honolulu,
has story TO the effect that keenan,,
the murderer who was sentenced to
death in 1884, had the last penalty
commuted on condition that he should
undergo incubation with virus OF
leprosy in the interest of pathological
science. DR.. Aiming, then under en-
gagement with the government to
investigate the disease according to
the microbe theory OF Koch, performed
the operation. The scar healed up
without any sign of the disease de-
veloping. Now however, within less
than four years, it is said that tokens
of leprosy have begun TO appear in
the unfortunate young man. He took
the risk of dying painfully and hor-
ribly by inches in order to prolong the
life he had forfeited TO the majesty OF
the law.
