LAcTHTED FOOD . sssss s'; Sas |. ; hsaSs s.a

DIR. John Morris, In a paper recently
read before the section on sanitary
science OF the Medical and Chirrugical
Faculty of Maryland advances some
surprising ideas on the wholesomeness
Of the eggs of commerce. lie says
these popular articles of diet are per-
haps the most liable to dangerous
change when kept, as they generally
are, for months before being exposed
for sale. They do not become overripe
and offensive In the old-fashloned way,
but they are invaded by a peculiar iuli-
gold growth which can only be
detected by the microscope, but which
may be recognized by a peculiar musty
taste, unless the palate of the eater has
become educated by longcontiRued
use of the cooled" product. The
egg In this condition is a very unwhole-
some food, and may lead to serious all
ments in persons Of q delicate constttu-
ton or weakened digestive apparatus.
To attack the egg-cooling industry is
to assail one of the most profitable
industries connected with the produce
business. When eggs are very Plentl-
full they are bought up and packed
away in cooling houses and kept until
a raise occurs In the market through a
falling of In the supply. Then the
market is stocked from the material
first received IN store. The ordinary
tests are useless when applied to these
eggs, the only ones they fail to respond
to being those Of the palate and incu.
bator; they are of no value as chicken
producers. "Candling" fails to show
any lack OF t~ranslucency, and the
Oldest inhabitant of the cold-storage
wareroom will have lost little or none
of its substance BY evaporation, hence
the foating test Is Of NO more avail
than the other. The condition of the
surface Of the yelk and Of that OF the
membrane lining the shell do give occa-
sional indications Of the impairment In
the shape Of specks Of visible mold,
but when cooked this is not even
apparent. Eggs are not the only arti-
Giles of diet that are rendered positively
poisonous by reason Of being kept by
middlemen in cold storage. DIR. Nor
! ris also considers the ice-box an insani-
tary agent, and declares all food to be
injured by contact with quantities OF
Ice. The natural law Of the change is
simply arrested, and when foods kept
on ice are brought into . normal atmos-
phere decomposition sets In at once,
and they are rendered unit for con-
sumption.

FARM TALKS.

Inever before have seen the farmers SO
far advanced with their work at this season
of the year. Owing to the unusually favorn-
BILE fall, the majority Of them are through
gathering their crops, have sowed their
wheat aud are ready for Christmas.
Cotton Is short from third to fourth,
yet having received better price for it than
last year, and having run less on time for
supplies, buying less and paying more on n
cash basis, thereby getting better bargains,
the condition of the farmer is much better
than usual.
Every honest man will rejoice to see tho
hopeful future for the farmer, and ;t we
who till the soil will utilize the means within
our reach, using energy and economy, moth
ing is to prevent US from becoming q pros
porous class Of people.
And now l advise you, brethren, to Keep
out of debt. Don't get anything on time that
you can possibly do without That is ono
thing that has ruined financially so many
farmers-paying long time prices. The
honest farmer has been made to pay high
time prices for goods furnished to doubtful
parties.
.v,R..4I1uw every man can reap just what he
sows. We will not be forced to pay the
uncertain debts Of Mr.. A. or Mr.. b.
And hope and believe, brethren, that the
advantages and benefits you have derived
the present year arc only a forctastc Of
pleasures and blessings that are in store for
yourselves and families. Lay your plans
thoughtfully and prudently, for the coming
year. Protect your stock from the inclcm-
ency of the winter, by erecting comfortable
shelters for them, and keep those shelters
well Uttered with pine needles, leaves, or
something else that will add to yonr compost
heap. With a little labor and care you can
make large amount Of manure at q much
less cost than to buy commercial fertilizers.
Keep your farming tools out of the weather.
There is more in saving than in making
and your farming implements will last
twice as long when not unnecessarily cx-
posed to the sun and rain.
Let ny spend our time in making our
homes more comfortable, convenient and
attractive, and our farms more rcmunerative.
The thoughtful progressive farmer can
always have some paying work in store,
Indoors or on the farm, for all kinds Of
weather.

A Good Change in School.

The faculty of the Clifford Seminary have
made decided bolt from one of the oldest
school customs, if not the oldest, remembered
by "thc oldest inhabitant," and the "oldest
inhabitant' before him, in substituting Mon
day for Saturday, as tho holiday Of the week.
We think the change is an admirable one,
and will be found beneficial to pupils and
teachers alike; and no doubt, when all be-
come accustomed to it, none will wish 10
return to the old Saturday holiday,
Heretofore there has been an intermission
between studies from Friday afternoon to
Monday morning, and the result has almost
invariably been, very imperfect lessons Mon.
day, greatly to the annoyance of the Teacher
and detrimental to the scholar.
After school hours Friday, the pupil, un-
der the old CUSTOM may (but douotful)
study lessons for Monday; but, If studied,
rs soon rs the books are put away, the
Saturday holiday and the Sunday services
take full possession of the scholars thoughts,
almost completely driving from his or her
mind what had been studied the Friday
before.
Monday morning comes, and the child
gives hurried glance over the lessons,
before school hours, and goes to recitation
with very indistinct knowledge of any
one Of the Fridays studies. In other
words, in Dine out of ten cases, under the
old custom, II scholar does but little study
ing from Friday afternoon till Monday after
noon or nght-threc days in the week.
Inc Hcw system adoptrd Nv ~ "".''fnarJ
allows the pupil the same number of hours
for recreation, hut changes the time, so
that neither recreation or religious duties
will interfere with the studies and duties Of
the school.
On Saturday afternoon the pupil leaves
the School and school duties, to enjoy rest
and recreation of mind and body, until
Monday evening or night following, when
the studies arc resumed, and on Tuesday
morning he or she returns to school with
the lessons studied the night before fresh
upon the memory, and prepared to enter
upon the school duties of the week, unds-
turbed by any other attraction, until the
Saturday following. Thus is divided the
time for study. the time for recreation and
the time for devotional duties, without
either encroaching upon or interfering with
the time Of the other

Letters from Europe.

One of the most interesting; rs well rs the
most valuable pamphlets VIC ever remember
reading, is little work sent us by the
author, Capt. Thomas w. Patton, business
Manager of the Ashovile Daily Citizen.
The work is series of letters written by
Capt. Patton, from many of the most noted
places in Europe, while on an extended
excursion, and published in the Ashe-
vile Citizen at the time; but they were writ
ten in such n pleasant and attractive style, and
contained so much interesting historical in
formation, now almost out Of print of the
many places the author visited and the coun-
tries through which he passed, that they
were considered emincntly worthy of being
put in more convenient form for prcscrva-
tion and to be placed alongside of the
literary works of more eminent travellers.
Capt. Patton is one man out of hundreds
who should always be travelling. lie sees
everything while passing, and has the talent
and happy faculty of telling what he secs i'll
the plcasantcst manner, and cmbcllishing
it with deeply interesting events of bygonc
years thereby making his letters pure
and profitable source of literary entertain
mcnt.
We think the Captain has struck his forte,
in the newspaper business but We confess
he is nearly the last man Of our acquaintance
that we expected to find in that business.
Not that we doubted his mental ability, hut
we had no thought that his taste was in that
direction. lie gets out the handsomcst and
