TO KEEP EGGS.

Pour two gallons of hot water over one
pint of lime and half a pint of salt.
When cold put your eggs in jar and
pour it over them. BE sure there are no
cracked ones and that they are kept COW
cred, Another, and perhaps better way,
if you wish to keep them for u long time,
Is to pack them, small ends down, in salt
in small boxes, and at least once u week
turn over the boxes. The reason for this
is that by turning the eggs over the yolk
~ kept about the middle of the albumen;
if still, the yolk will after while find its
way through the white to the shell; then
the egg will spoil Washington Star.

One feature illustrative of this is worth
recording. A pawnshop covering ten
acres of ground is found in the heart Of
the city. The three golden balls, how,
ever, are not displayed. 1t is a shop in
which pig iron is pswned. The manu-.
facturers pawn their iron when in need of
ready money, and await an active market

Before Paper was Discovered.

The earliest mode of writing was on
bricks, tiles, oyster shells, stone, ivory,
banks and leaves of trees, and from the
latter the term ''leaves of book" is
probably derived. Copper and brass
plates were very early in use, and bill
Of feoffment on copper was some years
since discovered in India, bearing date
100 years B. G. Leather was also used
as well as wooden tablets. Then the
pyparus came into vogue, and about the
eighth century the papyrus was superseded
by parohment.

CONEMAUGH,


"Fly to tho mountainl Flyw
Terribly rang the cry.
The electric soul of the wire
Quivered like sentient fire.
The soul Of the woman who stood r.
Face to face with the flood
Answered TO the shock
Like the eternal rock.
For she stayed
With her hand on the wire,
Unafraid,
lashing the wild word down
INTO the lower town,
Is there lower yet and another
Into the valley she and none other
Can hurl the warning cry;
ely to the mountainl Fly!
The water from Conemaugh
Has opened its awful jaw.
The dam is wide
On the mountain sidep
Fly for your life, h,fyp
They said.
She lifted her noble head.
VI can stay at my post, and die
Face to face with duty and death,
Dear is the drawing of human breath.
"Steady my hand! Hold fast
To the trust upon thee cast.
Steady, my wirel Go, say
That death is ON the way.
Steady, strong wire! Go, sayel
Grand is the power, you haver
Trander the soul that can stand
Behind the trembling hand.
Hrander the woman who dares
Glory her high name wears.
This message is my last N
Shot over the wire, and passed
To the listening ear of the land.
The mountain and the strand
Reverberate the cry:
"F1y for your liues, oh, Ryi
Istdy at nypost and die"
The torrent took her. God knows nj,
f1ercely the savage currents fall
10 muttering calm. Men count their
dead.

Poorer by one more hero less

RECIPES.

Asparagus-Scrape and clean the as
paragus; tie in punches and immerse in
sailed boiling water; boil till done, then
put in stone Jar and cover well with
cold water and keep in ice box till ready
to serve; then strain, arrange on plat
ter, and serve French dressing with it..
One part vinegar, four parts olive oil,
salt and pepper make good dressing;
sometimes finely chopped onion and a
little chopped parsley is mixed with it.
Huckleberry Griddle Cakes-Mix in an
ordinary yellow bowl having a lip one
pint of flour, saltspoonful of salt, a
heaping teaspoonful of baking powder,
and one pint of cold boiled milk. Mix
thoroughly and add one egg well beaten.
Pick over half a pint of berries, roll
them in flour, and add them to the bat
ter. Bake on hot, well creased grid
die. A soapstone griddle is decidedly
the best for cooking griddle cakes, as It
cooks evenly and requires no greasing.
PURGE of Green Peas-Boil quart of
fresh green peas in pint of boiling water,
slightly sailed. Rub the peas through a
sieve and pour the water in which they
were boiled on the skins; add a pint Of
clear soup to the pulp and return to the
range. Gently melt an ounce of butter;
add it to teaspoonful of flour, pint of
warm milk, salt, pepper and square of
sugar. Whisk this into the soup. When
quite hot serve with bits of toasted
bread.
Potatoes with Cream-The mistake
usually made in preparing this excellent
dish is that many economical housewives
use cold boiled potatoes left from the
preceding day. True economy would
have been in boiling just enough for each
meal; but for potatoes with cream, see to
1t that they are boiled and afterward cut
up while warm and seasoned with salt
and pepper. Boil half pint of cream,
add to it a walnut of butter, and add the
potatoes to it. If milk is used, It may
be thickened a little with flour.
Minced Lamb, with Poached Egg
The cold lamb left from the preceding
dinner may be converted into very ap-
petizing breakfast dish as follows: Cut
the meat into thin slices and cut these
very fine. Melt an ounce of butter in a
frying pan. Cut up slice of onion and
fry it in the butter; then remove it; add
the meat, little salt and pepper, and
soup or water to moisten it; when thor
oughly warmed through put spoonfuls of
it neatly on toast; on top of the meat
place poached egg.
Stuffed Okra-Select a dozen good.
sized but tender okra pods, cut off the
pointed ends and remove the seeds. Beat
the yolks of two eggs, season with salt
and white pepper, add a tablespoonful of
chopped boiled ham, and bread crumbs
enough to thicken the egg. Add the
seeds also. Fill the pods with this mix
ture, stand them upright in a pan; add
little water or gravy; cover the tops with
a layer of bread crumbs and add a layer
OF grated Parmesan cheese. Divide two
ounces of butter in little balls, place them
on top and bake to delicate brown.

health watching the shower, and the light
ming instantly slew him; but the lightning
did not fash down the sky as swiftly as his
spirit flashed upward. The Christian man
who died on the Sc ne day next door had
been for a year or two failing in health, and
for the last three months had suffered from a
disease that made the nights sleepless and the
days an anguish. Do you not really think
that the case of the one who went instantly
was more desirable than the one who entered
the shining gate through long
lane of insomnia and congestionP In
the one case, 1t was like your standing
YEARLY at door, knocking and waiting, and
wondering If it will ever open, and knocking
and waiting again; while in the other case.
It was swinging open of the door at the
nrsr touch or your knuckle. Give your
friendship to God, and have Gods friendship
for you, and even the worst accident will be
q victory.
How refreshing is human friendship, and
true friends, what priceless treasured When
sickness comes, and trouble comes and death
comes, we send for our friends first of all,
and their appearance in our doorway in any
crisis is reinforcement, and when they have
entered we say: ''Now it is all rigbtl' Oh,
what would we do without friends, personal
friends, business friends, family friends? But
we want something mightier than human
friendship In the great exigencies When
vohaeiis III Ills luti Hour Udu given
the last good-by to all his earthly friends,

Paul and Onesiphorus, of Herder and Goethe
of Goldsmith an Reynolds, of Beaumont and

Anne. of Orestes and Pylades each re-
9uesting that himself might take the point of
the dagger so the other might be spared: of
Epaminondas and Pelopidas, who locked
their shields in battle determined to die to-

Is the friendship between Jesus Christ

UP THIs way people are not disposed
to accept the cut and dried explanation Of
the Denver bank robbery as completely

as if there was something back of it all
and that Mr.. Mofat had made the &C
quaintance of the enterprising burglar

money demanded-$2l. OO0-is in itself
suspicious. If he had demanded 500
600 or $4,000 the circumstance would
not possess so many odd features, but
his demand for S2l 900 gives the case
somewhat the appearance of the settle

and while it has occurred once before, it
seems to have come now TO stay. Com
mercially, the cheapening will be more felt
in telegraph and telephone wires, which
are a great bulk of copper, and in which
its increase IN cost was most felt. In
fact, m OF the demands on which the
syndicate counted was the increase in this
demand. All brass goods ought to be.
and probably will be, cheaper, for far
more copper is used in bronze and brass
than in the form of pure copper.

Union Pacific Coal Mines.

l7HAA ~eN llAVhilt-l
The Rock Springs coal mines operated
by the Union Pacific make a pay roll Of
92O white miners, 300 Chinese and 100
Office and other men. To maintain such a
force requires the payment of $4,000
monthly. The Anaconda fire and the
mild weather has cut down the output of
coal considerably the past month. The
output for February was So, 700 tons, or a
little over 1000 tons a day. The Van
Dyke mines are closed at present. The
Rock Springs company and Hopkins d
Go. each operate about 100 men. The
town of Rock Springs is growing rapidly
through the erection Of good buildings.
Bussey & Co., who have two large bust
ness rooms, are adding a third in the form
of a large stone structure, doubling their
present form. The new bank is a pretty
stone building, now nearly completed.
Tim Kinney Il Co. have their large new
building nearly ready to move into, which
will double their store room. Many build
lngs are planned Tor carly erection. At
No. | min there Is an incline shalt in
over n mile and still going down. 1t
takes so much time to run the cars down
and up in single trains as to seriously in
terfere with rapid mining. This shaft ia
to be widened out soon, so as to have two
tracks, thus fully doubling the capacity of
the hoist. From this shaft levels have
been run each way, at right angles, over
halt n mile, thus opening up one mile
square by this one shaft. The other
mines, three or four in number, lie above
this one, all having the same dip to the
northwest and extending many miles. No.

years and is capable of producing right

The Salt Lake Tribune is apparently
not entirely satisfied that Utah is to have
another coast connection this season. 1t
says: y. s. Cameron of the Union Pa
ciic is at the Walker house from Omaha,
and will be here two or three days, ere
continuing on to Los Angeles and South
err California, where he will look up the
condition OF trade and the country's de-
velopment generally, with special refer
cnce to the Union Pacific systems south
western extension. Mr.. Cameron favors
the extension, but at the same time be-
lieves there is a fine opportunity to build
directly west OF here, via the south shore
to San Francisco, through Deep Greek,
Eureka and Austin and the White Pine
and Hamilton mining districts. The
Central Pacific has missed all there, going
far the north. But building west
now might embroil the Union Pacific
with the Southern Pacific, and there was
no special reason why this performance
should be engaged in. Mr.. Cameron I'M
derstood that the Los Angeles people
stood ready to put up a million dollars to-
ward the SAL Lake & Los Angeles rail-
way, and he was surprised that Salt Lake
people had so little public spirit in them
as to let such an opportunity pass, Re
ports from Los Angeles state that a party
of citizens were coming this way across
the country TO see what it was like"

The Philadelphia Press in considering
the subject of copper, which is naturally
of much interest in Wyoming, has this to
say: The collapse of the French copper
syndicate makes it reasonably certain that
copper will be for months to come at from
Zoe to l2c a pound, the price which ruled
in 1885, 1856 and 1887, until the syndi-
cate was formed. This is two-thirds of
the price under the syndicate, one third
the price before the great expansion in
copper production which began fifteen
years ago, and a fifth Of the price at
which copper stood dnring, and, at times,
before the war. This makes copper ten
or twelve times the value Of iron, instead
Of twenty or thirty times, as it was for
a few years after the war, and often was
from forty to fifty years ago. 1t is now
only three or four times the price OF lead,
instead of being five, six or seven times,
as it once was.
This is a great relative cheapening.

The Laramie papers are urging Judge

justice. Judge Brown, as a resident OF
Laramie, lives in the second judicial dis
trict and it has always been customary for
the chief Justice to lIvei in the first district
1t is given out here, but we do not know
with what degree of truth, that even if
Judge Brown received the appointment
he would still endeavor TO maintain his
residence in Laramie and if possible ret
the legislature to designate the present
second judicial district as the first district.
The Sun is apparently only too willing
that Judge Maginnis should resign, in
which event it has a nominee already sug-
gested in the person of Willis Van De-
vanter. There are already indications of
another fight between the Cheyenne and
Laramie Republicans on the subject OF
this important appointment.
The office, however, is not usually con-
sidered in the light Of a political office as
those of governor and secretary are, but a
good deal of more or less discreet wire
pulling is going on just the same.
We will watch the second tug of war
