In choosing isinglass for domestic use
select that which is whitest. has no unpleas-

Strain, and boil Is or 20 minutes before

WHEN beaten eggs are to be mixed with
hot milk, as in making custards, dip few
spoonfuls of the hot milk, one at a time, into
the beaten egg. Stir well each time until
the eggs are thinned-then add both to-
gether. This process prevents curdl1ng.

one of it's citizens claims to AVE been
discovered near Red Wing recently. Ac-
cording to the story the drillers had
drilled about $50 feet when they lost
their drill rods and a diamond drill.
The whole business had dropped to no.
where in an instant. There was quite a
force of air coming out of the hole, and
the men said there was no use gong any
farther, because there wasn't any Dot
tom. They concluded to fish for the
rods and drill, but as soon as the rods
were dropped into the hole they began
to shiver in a queer way.
One of the men took hold OF the bal
with a pair Of leather gloves, and he was
knocked down. Then Hollywell touched
the rope and got a shock, because 1t was
wet. There seems to be a perfect natu

Albert Edwards Summing Experience.
There are just now stories flying about
of the Prince of Wales visiting the
''slums'' under a rather cOmical disguise,
but though it is known that the prince,
accompanied by Lord Darlington, made
himself acquainted with the "seamy
side Of life, very little art was required
to conceal his identity. Indeed, it is
surprising, though Englishmen are as a
rule familiar, more or less, with the ap-
pearance of their future sovereign, how
often his presence in a place where he IS
not expected passes without recognition.
Some years ago the prince, quite IN
cognito, travelled down to Folkestone to
| meet Princess Louise, who was coming
| over from the Continent, aud as there
was some time to wait before h arrival
| of the steamer, he strolled about on the
quay and ultimately went out with a
boatman of local fame for a short cruise
in the chanDel. When they got safely
back the prince remarked, "PerhapS
