"CANDLED EGGS,"

The Name of a Separating Process EN-
pi"ycd by Commission Men.
This term is often seen in market re-
ports, but few people probably know
it's meaning. Gambling is the process
eggs are put through by commission
men who separate the good eggs from
the rotten. Many systems for detect
ing good eggs from bad are going the
rounds, but the most and in fact the
only reliable one is that of Gambling or
utilizing light for the purpose. A box
about one foot long and six inches
wide is taken and two holes are cut in
one side, each about the size of an egg
candle is placed inside the box with
the flame resting opposite the two
holes. A dark room is now sought,
the candle lighted and the eggs, two at
a time, are placed in the holes in the
box. If they are semi-transparent and
exhibit no spots they are good. IT,
however. they are the least bit tainted,
or slightly Matched. black spots from
the size of a pins head to that of a
half dollar, will be distinctly seen. An
incandescent light is better than a
candle where such is obtainable.

Numerous water courses have their
sources in this wild region and TOW on
ward to the lower plateau. half way to
the Indian ocean, where their volumes
are increased and united until several
pretentious rivers are formed, such as
the Bashee, Cmtata and the Umzin-
vubu. Dotted along on these river
valleys on their way to the sea, are
seen numerous huts and kraals of the
natives, with hordcs of sleels-haired,
lOng-horned cattle 1azily grazing on the
grassy slopcs-a picture of pastoral
beauty and contentnent rarely seen in
other lands.
All along the eastern border Of Capo
Colony waterfalls are numerous. One
of the most magnificent of these is on
the Tsitza river, not far from the Shaw
burg mission station and half way be-
tween U1ntata and Kolkstad. Some
miles below the falls the river makes a
bend to the left, and, after running
through some cllarmingly picturesque
gorges wooded to the waters edge, it
passes across fiat stretch of country
until it reaches the edge of n dizzy
precipice over which it leaps, with a
roar resemb bling distant thunder, to a
soothing depth of 375 feet below. The
rift or chasm through which the river
plungcs is about $50 yards across; and

after years of waiting and unrequited
labor. 1t may be good in theory
but I fear it is utterly Utopian in
practice. A state system is but little
more feasible.

all the main roads were in fine

German farmer became enthusiastic
on this question, He studied road
making wherever he could find any
thing on the subject and asked ques-
lions of everyone he thought could aid
him. lie quietly secured the good will
of few influential men and when the
town meeting was held made the fol-
lowing proposition: ''Give me the
road taxes expended yearly on the pOr-
ton of road between my farm and the
village, u distance of nearly six miles,
for a period of ten years and 1 will

it in repair To his surprise the prop
osition was accepted. After signing an
agreement that the road should at no

than it was at that time the tax was
turned over to him. The expenditure
of four years taxes completed a single
track, we'll graveled the entire dis

Some Suggestions Con cernInR Improving
Country Highways.
James Melville, c. E., writes to the
Orange Judd Earmer: With good roads
q farm fourteen miles from a town will
be nearer than one which is five miles
removed and has the present poor
roads. No times of famine would oc-
cur in cities from lack of farm prod
ucts during the season of bad roads.
The farmer will deliver his crops when
they are needed. Much time IL lost
waiting for passable roads. Farmers
living near towns will have opportun-
ity for more social pleasures. Good
roads will make economic delivery OF
mails in rural districts possible.
Fluctuations in markets will be known
in the country as early as in the
towns, giving farmers an opportunity
of selling and buying to best advan-
tage. If our roads remain in their
present form the condition of rural
classes will not improve materially
during the present generation. 'What
shall be done with our roads?" is a
common question. 1t is useless to talk
of a national system Of roads at pres
emit. A national movement requires
time. labor and patience. and comes
