To Eggs.

The egg begins to grow stale almost
as soon as it is laid, and the cause of
many failures to preserve eggs perfect
ly fresh says the Farmers Monthly, is
found in the fact that decay set in be-
fore the preserving began, and of
course it continued in spite of efforts
to arrest it. In preserving eggs, there
fore take none but those fresh from
the nest. This Is the first rule to OBJ
serve. The next is, no matter what
you use, keep the preserved eggs is the
coolest drv place possible; dampness
will mould them, heat will readily eva
porate their natural moisture, and
any process, which will keep them alb
soluteIy air tight will keep them fresh
for an indefinite length of time.
Among the countless methods is this
one: Take five quarts of rock salt;
five unslacked lime, and a quarter of
a pound OF cream of tartar; dissolve
in four pals OF water, which makes
sufficient pickle for a barrel of eggs.
Eggs are always kept under pickle.

Water Route to- Lake Superior.

a big canal, and that the Twin Cities are
willing to raise from So, 600. 900 to &c..
600, 600 for the project if a liberal appro.

The proposition is to build the canal

enough to carry the largest whaleback
boats on the lakes. It would necessitate
large improvements on the Mississippi
River below Hastings. This would en-
able q boat to load ut Minneapolis and

Going Around the World.

There are LOO steamers travers-
ing the four great ocean routes. The
first is that across the Atlantic, an
other by Suez to, India, China and
Australia. To go around the world
that way takes so to 80 days, and
covers $4,000 miles. The passage
money is 81 1000, and the traveller who
wish es to go in comfort and ease should
have another $1,000 with him. An
other sea route described is that by
which you start from San Francisco
and sail around the American contin-
ent to New York. The Journey is 49,
500 miles long, it takes 100 days to
cover it, and the fare is about the
same as that around the world. To go
around the Cape of Good Hope to
Australia and back around Cape Horn
is about $4,000 miles, and can be
covered in 81 days. The cost is only
$75O.-From London Tid-Bits.

A MEDIEVAL

Two Skeletons Found Chained To-,
gether in an Old Ruin.
A curious discovery has just been
made by a wine-grower in the depart
ment of the Charente. Adjoining his
property are the ruins of an ancient
chateau, which has been left to it's fate
for centuries. AS part of one o. the
walls ofthis old pile showing symptoms
of an approaching collaspe, the pea
SAINT obtained permission to remove
it, and a few days ago he set to work
to demolish it.
After toiling tor q couple Of hours,
to his amazement he came upon a
couple of skeletons, the neck, arms
and legs of which had been tightly
bound to each other by iron links.
They were in an erect position, and it
was evident that they were the re.
mains OF the men who had been i'm
INJURED hundreds of years ago. The
wine grower lost no time in drawing
the attention of local antiquarians to
his discovery, and a careless lnvesti-
cation revealed further the presence
OF fragments of clothing which had
been almost reduced to dust, as we'll
as OF a rusty weapon and two pieces
OF wood.
The skeletons are to be placed in
the Bordeaux museum, and great
pains are being taken to insure their
transport thither in the same posi-
ton as that in which they were found
There is no doubt that some tragedy
of the middle ages, OF which possibly
some record may survive, led TO the
confinement of these unfortunate vic
Tins in the matter described. 1t is a

antiquarians in that part of France,
and it is by no means improbable
that some clew to the mystery may

Completing the Quotation.

The late Doctor Wilberforce, Bishop
of Oxford, had q keen sense OF humor,
which, however, he INDUCED only on
appropriate occasions. An amusing
story is told, in the September North
American, OF his quickness OF repartee.
While ON u visit to a country-house
a carriage party was made up for a
drive, and the bishop was urged to
join it, but he insisted on walking,
and started off on foot by himself. On
the road the carriage party passed
him as he was trudging along, and one
of the company shouted out to him,
quoting from Watts hymn:
Chow blcst is he who meier consents
BY i'll advice to walk"
Quick as a flash the bishop shouted
back, completing the stanza:
"Nor stands in sinners ways, nor sits
Where men profanely talk"

Young Cows Best.

Henry Stewart, in the course of an
article in the Practical Farmer, says:
doubt if it pays to keep any cow after
eight years unless it be for her calves,
for the milking qualities certainly de-
preciate at that age when she has passed
her best. But as the calves are an i'm
portant part of the income of a cow, it
may pay TO keep the best of the old cows
on this account, although my experience
has been that old cows do not retain
their yield of milk so long as the young
ones. AS an instance of the value of an
old COW, l might mention one which was
fourteen years old when she brought
me her thirteenth heifer calf, which was
my best testing and experimental COW,
and which, when between her second
and third calves, made 625 pounds of
butter. and in four years made 1,649 lbs
butter, all OF which sold at an average
of 50 cents per pound, bring in in that
time the sum of $S24.55. or over 5000 per
year. Certainly this old cow deserved
to live her time out and complete an
honOred old age. She was a Jersey of
the old type, fawn with white legs.
and was bought very cheaply at the
time when there was rage for solid
colored SQuirrel-gray cows. an infatua-
ton which. but for its short life, might
have spoiled this magnificent butter
breed.
