last decade-fuli of life, and color, and

of character in the play; the nouveau riches

RATES DEMORALIZED
Action OF the Big Four at st. Louis
Causing Trouble.
Export Grain Rates from Peoria Cut by
Fast Freight Lines-The War
Likely to Spread.

The announcement of demoralized rates
on east-bound business out of st. Louis is
being confirmed by good authority. and this
Generalization is now reaching other points.
At Peoria reduced rates have been offered
by some Of the fast freight lines, and this
Generalization is beginning to be felt at In
dianapolis. Careful inquiry among some Of
the shippers shows that they were on the
alert and taking advantage of the cut rates
out of st. Louis, east-bound. No shipper
would state in what manner they were be-
ing favored in the matter, except to say it
was only on export rates they were reaping
any advantage from the rate war at ST.
Louis and Peoria, and they have been in
formed at these points 1t is only export
traffic that shippers are favored, yet the be-
lief prevails that, now the decentralization
has set in, 1t will reach other classes of bus
mess than export, as freight traffic has been
light and the worlds fair passenger BUSH
ness will soon be over. Then the manage
ments will look to the freight departments
to help In swelling earnings, and under such
conditions it will require very skilful figur-
ing on the part Of those who handle this
question Of rates to maintain the present
tariff east bound on any of the commodities

CLOSING PRICES OF PHILADELPHIA STOCKS.
LOUISVILLE AND NASHvILLES YEAR.

Monday, July 10-p. m.
The directors of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad Company to-day declared the regular
scmi-annual cash dividend of . per cent from
earnings of the half year ended on June 30. The
dividends for the fiscal year amount TO per cent,
against 1-2 per cent for the previous fiscal year
and per cent for the year preceding that. The
preliminary statement for the year lust ended
June being partly estimated shows increase in
gross earnings of S1,1G4O74. increase in operat
ing expenses of S576,5s1 and gain in net earn
in9s of 1857 ,493. The ratio Of operating expenses
to gross earnings was GAIA per cent, against
6495 in 1892 and GAIA per cent in 1891. The
fixed charges were Sl2s,07l in excess Of those
Of the preceding year. The total net balance
after dividends was S626.513, compared with
deficit Of S25,s67 in the previous year and a
plus of S656,226 in 1901. But from this years
balance deducted the amount involved in the
settlement of the Hardin County suit for interest
and dividends on original stock subscriptions,
which was begun in 1868 and was lost by the
company in the Court of Appeals. The settlement
involved S225,37, leaving the final surplus Of tho
Louisville and Nashville at $40O,776, an increase
of S426,643 over 1892.

Something Abuut EGGS.

Authorities on scientific cooking
tell us many things that are we'll
worth remembering. A writer in
Food tells us something about eggs.
Eggs should never be cooked before
they are twcnty-four hours old, and
they are much better if kept forty
eight hours or until their whites are
set. The white in a freshly laid egg
cannot be beaten stiff until it has laid
on ice for some time. The old way
of testing eggs-that of putting
them in water-is one of the best.
If they are fresh enough for cooking
they will sink. On the contrary, if
the eggs rise to the surface air
enough has penetrated the she'll to
make the egg unfit for use. although
its yolk may look perfect and nc
odor can be detected. Decomposi-
ton begins when the contents of the
shell are exposed to the external air,
and the fact of the egg floating in
water is proof positive that it has
been lightened by air. The digesti-
hility of the hard-bOiled egg is a
favorite theme. Eggs should never
be actually boiled, as the extremely
high temperature of the water hard
ems and toughens the whites at nee
rendering them indigestible. If they
are submerged in water just below
the boiling point and kept at that
temperature for one half hour they
will be almost as digestiblc as raw
eggs,
A good rule to cook eggs for in
valids is to pour boiling water in a
tin pail having a tight cover; put the
eggs in the pail carefully, cover it
tightly and let it stand entirely away
from the fire for five minutes. The
whites of the eggs cooked in this
manner will be perfectly cOagulated,
soft. tender and easily assimilated.-

George Fraleigh. while working at
haying for William Odell in B%rooktield,
Conn, one morning recently, lifted a
fork full Of hay to place it on the load,
when he fell to the ground with the
hay on top of him. When picked up
Fralcigh had hold Of a blacksna!Se
which was coiled about his neck. The
serpent did not bite him, but it left a
black mark. Fraleigh was disabled
from work for the day. The next
morning, and every morning since, at
the same hour hat the snake wound
itself around the mans neck, he has
been taken with choking spasms and
fits of strangulation, and is growing
weaker every day. The case is being
watched by local physicians, whose
efforts to allay his sufferings have thus
far proved futile.
