Better success was had with eggs

after wiping with vaseline, to which
salicylic acid had been added. These
kept four or five months without loss.
and the quality inter four months
was much superior to that OF ordinary

The eggs, in all these trials. were
kept in barn cellar, the ordinary
temperature OF which varied from so
to 20 degrees Fahrenheit, and each
box was turned once every two days.
Little difference was observed in the
keeping Of the fertile and the infertile
eggs, and no difference was noticeable
IN the keeping qualities OF eggs from
different fowls or from those under
different rations.

Then came the solemn, stately, beautiful servic

casket was borne from the house. " Nearer, My
God. to Thee" sounded in sweet symphony from
the rich toned instruments of the musicians. and
solemnly and tenderly the mortal form of Andrew

well to the funeral car. by his brother Sir knights

mournful procession started on its way to Maple
Grove Cemetery, to the dirgelike music of the
Band. followed by large numbers of his towns
people and friends who knew and loved him for
his qualities of heart and mind, and the presence
of such a vast concourse attested more than word
the worth ofthe man and the exalted character
of his life that commanded such universal res pect
and such sorrow in death At the cemetery the
beautiful service of the Knights was completed
and the doors of the vault closed on the sprtless
clay of the loving husband and father. the faith

The floral offerings were beautiful memorials

To the people of Ravenna, a euiogy of Andrew
Jackson is unnecessary. for none who knew him
need be told that he was good man. His integ-
rity of character. firm convictions of duty and
steadfast adherence to the faith which sustained
him in every experience of life are well known.
The words of the Divines who spoke at his fune-
raj fully delineate the character and life of the
departed. and no words of ours could add to their
completeness.
