Selling Eggs by Weight

Breeders Of fancy fowls. especially
the breeders of the class which lay large
eggs. should insist with more per-
tinacity that weight should enter into
all OF the commercial operations OF
eggs. Some contend ian egg is an
egg" And SO is a potato. But there
10 moro than a half difference in the
weight and true value of the largest
class of eggs and those from the
dwarfed common dung-hill fowl Well
bred and well fed Brahma eggs will
weigh One pound eight ounces per
dozen without selecting. while common
small eggs weigh less than one pound.
Besides the quality Of the eggs is equally
as much better in flavor. Slightly col
ored eggs are superior in quality in
many respects to the pure white.
Dealers. in justice to those who breed
large chickens and furnish eggs for the
market. should do something t 20 en-
courage such enterprise. And those
who + buying for their own Use
should. as a matter Of economy and -
. istain a spirit of enterprise. dereand
and pay an advanced price for better
eggs.-Des Holmes Register.

The Education Of Girls.

Few subjects are receiving such wi,in
and varied discussion. both here AMI
abroad. as that Of the education of
girls. On the one hand there is crave
doubt expressed as to the efficacy If t..e
present system; On the other it is cs-
tOlled as perfect and satisfactory. We
find the schools abused by some. anil
the home censured by others. as re
spOnsible for any defect in the ci,arac-
ter Of girls training. Teachers and
books are not the main factor in the
education of girls. 1t is the character
and disposition Of their parents aal
associates which WELD the most pnwr:-
full influence. II you live with wo,yes
you must learn to howl. and all hi ii,
standards of education are usually
futile when the atmosphere Of the girl ,
home and her associations are TIE re-
verse of refining and intelligent. 1t To-
quires peculiarly strong will on her
part. then. TO refuse to howl when k.r

where the moral obligations of parents

The Human Breath.

Prof. Brown-Sequard has recently
been making experiments to determine
whether the human breath was capable
OF producing any poisonous effects.
From the condensed watery vspor of
the expired air, he obtained Il poisonous
liquid. which. when injected under tho
skin Of rabbits. produced almost im.nc-
diate death. He a~scertained that this
poison was an alkalOid. and not Il nil
crobe. The rabbits thus injected died
without commissions. the heart anl
large blOod-vessels being engor.eI with
bleOd. Brown-Seauard considers Is
fully proved that the expired air, bo;i,
Of man and animals, contains a volatile
poisonous principle which is much
more deleterious than carbOnic acid

In the fourteenth century a fanciful Ital

result. The idea took, and for some time il
was the fashion in several Italian cities Il

born.
If in January, the stoEc was a garnet,
believed to have the power Of winning the

If in February, her ring was set with an
amethyst. which not only promoted in her
the quality OF sincerity, but protected her

An emerald for May made her a happy

II born in July the stone was a ruby,
which tended to keep her free from jealousy

In August the ~sardonyx made her happy

In September q sapphire was the proper

In December the turquoise insured her

WHICH CLOSES WITH A PROPOSAL.
Elchard had escaped, but with q dark
streak across his temple where the Kissing
lead had passed. Instant darkness had
closed upon him, and when the light came
back again he was lying upon the thick tan
gle of shrubbery by the roadside. 1t had
cased his fall with its ma of green springs,
but he was dazcd, and q deadly sickness
seized him with returning consciousness.
The half-healed injury in his side, disturbed
by the fall, fetched a sharp twinge, too, with
every breath he drew.
How swift a change had come upon his
happy humor! In a few moments he got
upon his feet in the road. but staggered
about with dizziness. What had happened
him! He pressed a hand upon either tem-
pie and shut his eyes tight in an effort to
dispcl the film in which his faculties seemed
wrapped. He looked up at the sky; only a
few fleecy clouds were drifting there; then
it had not been a lightning -stroke! He
seemed to remember a Hash and a loud re-
port, but they were so blent into the wave
of darkness that engulfed him he could not
bring the fact definitely before his mind.
The smarting line across his temple
caught his attention: he ran his finger ends
along. it; Q little groove had been cut

The mother, while he had gone treading
heavily to and fro, and crying out against
their religion in his wild bitterness of heart,
had swayed forward with her forehead in
her hands and with tears slipping silently
from her withcrcd cheeks. She did not lift
her head when he ceased to speak. and he
flung himself down upon his knee before
her, and with his arm about her shoulders
kissed her sllvery hair.

She kissed him then for the first time
since his return. and after that he showed
her his wound. The bullet had only gone
through the flesh at the topOf his shoulder,
he SAID: he did not care for it. Who had
furnished him with this evidence of hate.
Or an evil and Interior purpose. he did not
know. He had seen no one save the young
stranger as, with his hat in hand and en-
joying the shade. he rode forward singing
airily. 1t was a mystery. but it should not
him: his " part in the outrage
was all he cared to consider.
The woman did not upbraid him, but
washed his wound in all tenderness and
bound it with clean cloths, then prepared
him warm food and drink. But he took lit
tie of them, though he had not eaten in a
spread through all his being with the easing
of his agony of mind. and soon in his little
room he had lost himself to it all in slumber.
The mother watched beside him then,
weeping softly as she held his helpless
hand and read the story of his long struggle
in his worn and haggard face.
In the same hour, with her feeble father
quietly in his dim room be-
low, Trean was standing up ut the edge
of the pines looking with longing eyes
across the valley where the moonlight fell
over the Eagle prongs.
Thus love watched, as it ever watches,
moon and stars went slowly over, and
the great world slept.

How They Dressed Him.

When Gen. Edward McCook was
chosen as delegate to represent JEFF
ferson County in the Kansas Legisla-
ture the miners considered it a question
of personal pride that their representa-
tive should cut as "big swath" as any
of the members from the river dis
tricts. It was the duty of the hour to
array him as became his station and
the vast and glorious country he rep
resented. In those days raiment was
a very trifing consideration, but the
wardrobe of the pioneer was not con-
sidered elaborate enough for so great
a parsonage as the delegate from the
golden Rockies. So an inventory was
ordered, and after two weeks ride all
over the Territory the committee
brought in a bottle-green overcoat
with satin lapel, plug hat of the
last century, and pair of very dilapi-
dated trousers. A stray tailor was
found to patch the last, and at the
proper time Gen. McCook was salts
factorily arrayed, and clad in his bot
tle-green coat, his plug hat polished
and glossy, and his new trousers, he
was accompanied out of town by an es-
cort of one hundred picked men, and in
roya. state started upon his long jour
ney to the capital.

ton, made . spring at me and landed
on the top of one of my leather shoot
ing boots, pair that came above my
knees; in an instant he commenced
tearing away with his teeth at great
rate, but before he had bitten anything
but my boot I grabbed him at the back
OF his neck, and between throttling him
and humping his head against the heel
OF my gun, he was rendered lifeless.
This formed the only case of muskrat
attacking a man that has ever come to
me, and in this particular instance 1
admired the little brute's bravery all
the more after I found that he pos-
ssssed but three legs, one of them hav-
ing long since been amputated high up,
probably in steel trap, but the stump
was perfect, and he had the blacklist
hair of any muskrat ever saw.-For-

the spot where Jim was lying, he went
down on his hands, and as noiseless as
shadow crawled straight for the
sleeper.
Jim was sleeping, his smooth young

There was tear that trickled down
the hard, weather-beaten cheek, but
Missouri did not know it. Jim, how
ever, saw the reflection of a glimmer-
ing star in it as it darted out of sight
among the gray beard on Missouri's
face, and Jim's voice was more tender
than usual when he said:
Forgive me, Missouri; I didn't in
tend to hurt you, but the devil gets
into me occasionally, and can't
help it."

Jim was soon ready, when both left
the place and were soon out of sight
and hearing of the camp.
They seated themselves on a mound
in the prairie, and the story that Mis-
