Did you ever try the curious but simple
trick Of the egg in the bother MOI Well,
then, this is the way to do it. Soak an egg
in very strong vinegar until the shell be
comes soft; when quite soft it may be ex.
tended lengthwise without breaking it,
and SO put carefully through the neck of IA
small bottle, when by pouring cold water
upon it, it will resume its former shape and
hardness. Though Que of the simplest of
tricks, this is really curiosity, as TO those
who are not in the secret the question:
How did you get the egg in the bottles"
is a complete puzzler.

them. And she is such careless, happy

Idea--An Old Waiter-GentIe Hints.
There is time in woman's life when
she is too old for the dance and frolic Of
the young, and too young for the quiet
corner of the old. No class claims her
She feels often like an alien from the COM
monwealth of womanhood. In charitable
work and in social life the invisible line is
passed. No one invites her now to preside
at the fancy booth or hasten the sale Of
flowers with her gracious smiles. Neither
is she asked to give the dignity of her age
and position as one of the patronesses of
the fair. She is laughed at if she dresses in
the gay colors her soul loves, or scolded
(by her family for always wearing black.
She has no part in the play, but is quiet
Iy RELOCATED to the position of stage setter
and prompter while younger and older
women pose and win applause. Her beauty
Is not at its best. She has neither the fair
girlish face which Is the prophecy of what
it will be, nor the sweet old face which is
the history of what it has been. White
hair docs not crown her with glory, and
she has lost the golden curls of her youth.
The blossom has faded and the fruit does
not yet compensate for its loss.
The trials of the transition state envelop
her in the home. Sometimes she feels that
her husband is almost deserving her for
the young daughter who is the second edi-
ton of the girl he fell in love with years
ago. The solving of the domestic problem
has not made such drafts upon his mental
and physical resources as 1t has upon hers.
He is a comparatively young man, and no
one dreams of asking him to step aside
from any familiar path.
At times she wonders if she is not a
childless woman. She was necessary to
her little children, but her growing sons
and daughters do not seem to need her; at
least they do not cling to her with the ten
der caresses of their babyhood. Studies,
teachers, classmates and embryo love af-
fairs Gil their lives so full that the mother
almost feels crowded out.-Harpers Bazar

Carolina Rice Preferred.

The following letter to the American Grocer Of
New York will prove interesting reading to the
local rice trade:
PTTsBURG, April 4, 1890.
Editor American Grocer:
We have read with interest your somewhat
sharp, still kindly, criticisms of methods and
practices in vogue the New Orleans rice mar
ket. 1t does seem too bad that trade in any ar
ticle should be handicapped by such Irregular
ties, for the ordinary troubles and trials mercan-
tile flesh is heir to are sufficiently exasperating
without the added gall OF fraudulent compe-
tition.
We like the Louisiana rice, grade for grade,
as well as Carolina, and would handle more of
1t, but confess to giving preference to the lat
ter for one or two reasons, which are perhaps Of
minor Importance; yet, as they influence US In
our purchases, we have no doubt others are sim
ilarlv affected,
Carolina is packed in barrels weighing from
300 to $40 pounds net, the Louisiana package
weighs only 230 to $50 pounds net. Now, when
we sell barrel of rice we naturally wish TO dis
pose of as much as we can, and as it takes no
more talk or time to sell the larger package,
containing from 20 to 30 per cent. more rice,
you can readily see how strong the preference
may be for Carolina.
Again, the Louisiana mills subject their rice
to a screening process, which gives US two eX-
tremes to choose from, a badly broken rice, too
poor, and nominal head rice, too good for
general trade.
The Carolina mills turn out line or
"bulk'' rice, the styles differing only as the
quality of the raw material or rough differs.
This reduces the number of grades, and at the
same time gives more uniformity to the Of
ferlngs, consideration, by the way, OF great
value to the jobber.
On the other hand the policy pursued in New
Orleans makes two grades of every lot run, thus
adding to the already excessively large number
of styles turned out. We cannot give the reason
for this fact, but we know by experience the
cost in time and money OF changing from one
style to another, hence we prefer to buy from
market which reduces the number Of such nee
essary changes to the minimum.

In the metal markets, says Bradstreet's,
owing to increased inquiry for iron and steel, an
improvement is not wholly improbable. The
production of crude iron has been temporarily
checked by untoward market conditions. The
weekly output is from 1000 to 5000 tons less than
a month ago, Western markets present several
signs of revival, and in Southern markets there
are not wanting indications of better demand
for crude iron. Plate and structural iron have
been neglected for some weeks past, but the ne
gotiations of the past few days have forwarded
arrangements to about the point of consumma-
ton. Copper is going into consumption freely
and the market is exceptionally strong at 1890

A survey of the political horoscope in
the Keystone state makes it probable
that ex-senator William A. wallace will
be the Democratic candidate for the gov
ernorship in the approaching election.
Mr.. Wallace is of Scotch and Irish ex-
traction and was born in Huntington,
Pa. November 81, 1928. He was ad-
mitted to the bar in I848 and practiced
with distinguished success. He was
compelled, however, by i'll health
to abandon his profession for politics
i'll 1868, when he was elected
to the state senate, serving till 1875,
in which year he was elected to
the United States senate. At the ex-
piration of his term he returned to the
state senate, serving until 1885. Sena-
tor Wallace was chairman of the Demo-
cratic state committee for five years
and also of the Pennsylvania delegations
in the Democratic national conventions
of 1872 and 1876. He acted as spokes-
man of the delegation at st. Louis in
1884. Senator Wallace has for many
years been interested in developing real
estate and in the soft coal regions, and
is president Of a railway company.
