"A simple test for fresh eggs il based upon
the decrease in the density OF eggs as they
grow old. Dissolve two ounces Of kitchen
salt. says an account, in d pint of water.
When Il fresh laid egg is placed In this solu-
ton it will descend TO the bottom Of the ves-
sci, while one that has been laid on the day
previous will not quite reach the bottom. II
the egg be three days old it will swim in the
liquid; If 1t is more than three days old IL will
II vat on the surface. aud project above the
latter more and more as 1t is older" The
above, taken from an exchange, reminds us

popular and urbane citizens, formerly a sales
m IN In Il grocery store but at resent filling an
important position in the city government.

msu if they had any fresh eggs. He. with

co intry, which he would vouch for as being
all that could he desired. And, by-the-by.n
remarked he, "a lady has Just told me of an
intallible rule by which eggs can be tested az
to their quality, with no fear as to a mistake.
Just take a bucket of water and drop the egei
therein one at 4 time, and If fresh they will
will-will-well, 1 declare, 1 have now for.
gotten just which way it Is, but they will
either sink or swim" The LADY was entirely
satisfied and promised to try the experiment
with the next lot bought.
