BAD Eggs are Useful.

Not even bad eggs are laid in vain.
Years ago those that had survived their
culinary usefulness were of no value to
dealers, who used to pay garbage col

paying to have bad eggs taken away,
the dealers sell them to the makers of
this dressing at fair price. Large
quantities of this egg-yolk dressing are
exported to Europe

Mr.. Abner IA. Miller writes the Prai-

In reply, we say, as we have repeat

or pindar, as it is called in the south
botanically known as Arachis hypo-
coca, is not profitable crop north of
the latitude of Tennessee, but is some
times grown as a garden curiosity, and
in warm seasons will ripen the nuts.

and in Utica, her home, she is said TO have
been beloved by every one.
In the notices OF her death which ap-
peared here to-day IL has been said that
at one time she lived apart from Senator
Conkling, her self-respect being wounded
by what, in the gossip OF the time, was
called his admiration for Mrs. Kate Chase
Sprague, and the miserable tongue of SLAM

unquestionably had for that woman so

Senator IL was Mrs. Conklirly who STONED

was the most eXacting she, with her hus-

that that was a thing she could not have
done had her own seIf-respect ever been

Industry and business of the country to that

have collected a large part of the money
loaned when the evil days came. The banks
Of New York never contained so much
money, nor in recent times had so small an
aggregate of loans outstanding. The last
reports of the Indianapolis banks showed
that their vaults were well filled with good
money. And so it Is In all of the more

he is pursuing what the late Alexander
Pope regarded as the proper study of man
kind. Il is really very soothing to consider
