tempts Suicide.
Ralph A. Blood, whose genial counter
ance and rotund figure are familiar to every
body in Waterbury, and whose -acquaint-
ance extends up and down the Naugatuck
valley and along the line of the New Eng
land railroad, is confined to his room at
No 40 Park avenue, and has to be closely
watched by an attendant. He has lost his
reason and is insane. About $50
o'clock last evening he twice attempted sui
eide. The weapon he used was a pen
knife. He succeeded in sticking the blade
into his breast below the heart inflicting a
wound about three ourths of an inch deep
The attendant discovered him and inn
mediately took the knife but not before he
had made another wound. DR. Pitkin
dressed the wounds which, although not
serious bled freely. Flood was no better
to-day.
Flood was recently engaged in law suit
against the New England road for 81, COG
for an injury to his finger which was
smashed in car door, The jury disagreed
and since the trial Flood has acted pecul-
iarly. His symptoms grew worse daily
and he was finally placed in charge of an
attendant. For several days he has been
crazy, imagining that reporters and railroad
men were engaged in a conspiracy against
him.

FRESH COUNTRY EGGS.
Where They Come From and What the
Dealer Makes on Them.

With the Lenten season comes the large
demand for eggs. They take the place of
meat upon the table and served in vari-
Gus WAYS make very good substitute.
The demand is large and the supply at this
season of the year is somewhat limited as
regards fresh eggs. More country eggs
are sold than all the memories
in the State could produce. Many people,
however, to make sure that they are plr-
chasing country eggs have them delivered
at their door by farmers. In this way
they feel certain that their table is sup
piled with country eggs. but when the
farme, inadvertently puts nest egg into
the dozen their faith in country eggs is
somewhat shaken. The farmer who mixes
oleomargarine with his butter will sell
lined eggs for freshly laid ones And few
people are the wiser.
A large proportion of the eggs sold in
this and other Connecticut cities are from
memories many hundred miles from here
During the warm weather many are ship
ped from the W est, but at this season there
is danger of them freezing and nearly all
the fresh eggs come from the South, prin-
cipally from Virginia. There ere in Wash

to securing fresh eggs and in forwarding

Long Brothers are the big egg dealers in
New York, and probably handle more eggs
than any concern in the world.
There are three kinds Of eggs, lined
eggs, iced eggs and fresh eggs. LINED
eggs are not good for baking Or eating.
Tie nutritious portion of the egg is de
stroyed by the process to which it is sub
jected. They can be bought for 10 cents a
dozen, and the retail price depends on the
honesty of the dealer. Iced eggs are pre-
served by packing in ice, but are unknown
at this season. An egg six weeks old in
February or March is just as good as al,
egg that he's just been taken from the nest
The eggs shipped from the South to Wash
ington are not over week old. They are
Immediately forwarded to dealers and by
the time the retailers get them they are
just as good as the eggs the Middlebury
and Watertown farmers bring to Water
bury. They bring 26 cents in New York
and the purchasers pay the freight. They
are packed in cut straw and oats in barrel.

breakage.

covered, as orders prohibiting the guards
from communicating with the prisoners were
