ga new process Of preserving eggs has
been discovered said grocer to Mail
and Express reporter, ''and 1t is going to
have an important eject on the trade"
The speaker then opened an egg that
locked fresh without, and within, and ex-
planned that It had been laid months be-
fore and subjected to the new trest-
msnt invented BY resident OF
Copenhagen. The process consists
subjectipg the eggs to car
bonic acid bath. They are kept in her
metically- sealed tank that u filed with
carbonic acid, and not taken out until
they are to be placed on the market. The
eggs subjected to this treatment show .
sharply-dehned yolk and an unchanged
white. Eggs preserved by costing OF
lime do not maintain this condition. Car
bonic acid tanks can be made especially
for shipment and eggs thus preserved can
be sent on long voyages.

1851, the government gauge now marks
nineteen feet, nine inches, being sever
inches higher than during the great food
of 1881. Above and below Quincy are
over 100 miles Of levees for the protection
Of fully 200, 900 acres Of land. On Sunday
morning the first break occurred on one
of these great entertainments known ae
Indian Grove levee. During the day two
other crevasses we're made. As soon as
q crevasse was made the river poured
through the opening with an ominoue
roar. Every moment increased the width
of the crevasse and the great food that
ThiEty-five homes were deserted in q

to 400 yards wide with Irresistible force.
On the dry places on the embanhment are
hundreds of cattle, horses and
hogs without feed Far across on
the opposite bluffs are gathered hundreds
of men; women and children In small
groups. Desolate, forlorn and despairine,
their farms laid waste, property de-
stroyed, homes almost completely under
water, furniture floating away and stock
drowning. Many Of them are utterly
destitute, having neither sufficient cloth

food. Communication to the west from
this city is entirely cut CT, every road be-
ing under water. For ten days 1t has
rained steadily. To add to the suffering
the water is still steadily rising, and the
worst of the food hiss not yet been
reached.

Dramatic Career of Women.

Many young ladies ask my advice concern
inp a dramatic career for themselves. The
NAV is a great factor in the amusement low
ING world We must be entertained, and
time flies, young actors grow old, old ones
die and the ranks needs must be filed. 1t IS
a worthy profession, when worthy natures
adorn it. But it is a hard life at its easiest
and best In a dramatic career more than
anv other a woman should feel the impelling
force of great talent or the extreme conf
nand of necessity before she enters upon it.
AS a rule it calls for the sacrifice Of all
domestic comfort, the outlay of every particle
Of brain and body power, and demands un-
renting drudgery for years before the re-
wards are obtained After the rewards do
come the labor of study and rehearsal and
constant appearances taxes all the vitality OF
a strong woman and allows no time for home
life The pretty young girl who dreams only
of glory and riches needs to weigh all these
considerations calmly before she ventures
unon this most arduous and uncertain OF
careers.
So many and great are the obstacles in the
way of success in literature or on the stage, l
can but wonder at the persistency OF girls
and women who, without ability or reason,
stand before the locked doors of these pro-
LESSONS and beg their older sisters who have
found an entrance for themselves to let them

How to Select a Wife.

In the first place, see the girl you intend to
honor as early in the morning as possible,
and note whether she is fresh and tidy or
limp and frowzy.
Watch how she treats her pets-her dog,
her canary, her little sisters.
Discover what she eats and drinks, and
make yourself certain whether she bathes or
uses perfumery.
Remember if she makes habit Of walking
or driving.
Inform yourself whether she dotes upon
Owen Meredith and Henry James, or reads
Longfellow and Feninore Cooper.
Go to church with her and see if she cares
more for the preacher than for the Gospel
Make a sly study of her anatomy when you
oct a chance. Walk her up Murray hill as
az fast as YOU can, and dance a whole waltz
through with her, and mark if she allows
herself breathing room and wears tight
slippers.
Faniliarize yourself with her fathers at
fairs and her mothers temper; and then, my
