EXPERIMENTS IN KEEPING EGGS.

The New York experiment station
has been experimenting in keeping
eggs. The eggs were all wiped when
fresh, with a rag saturated with some
antiseptic and packed tightly in salt,
bran, etc. Eggs packed during April
and May with salt, and which had
been wiped out with cottonseed oil, to
which had been added boric acid, kept
from four to five months with loss
of nearly ne.third, the quality of
those saved not being good Those
packed in bran, after the same pre-
liminary handling, were all spoiled
after four months, Eggs packed in
salt during March and April, after
wiping with vaseline, to which salicy-
lie acid had been added, kept four or
five months without loss, the quality
after four months being much superior
to ordinary. Temperature of each
box varied little from sixty degrees
Fahrenheit, and each box was turned
over once every two days. Little diff
ference was observed in the keeping
of the fertile and unfertile eggs, and
no difference was noticeable in the
keeping qualities of eggs from different
fowls or from those on different rations.

One of the best stimulants that can
be given to pot plants, especially
palms and ferns, is SCOT water. Tie a
quantity of SCOT in coarse muslin
bag, attaching heavy stone to it, so
that it will sink; let this soak for sew

let it stand day or two until quite

Sources OF the Diamond supply.

Until the early part of the eight
zenith century, the famous Golconda
and other mines of India furnished
the worlds diamonds, but after that
time for long period the mines of
Brazil became the great producers
Both localities are now nearly ex-
hausted. Since the discovery of dia-
monds in South Africa in 1867, that
region has produced more diamonds
than the whole world during the two
centuries preceding, the total yield of
these mines being estimated at some
40, 900, 900 carats or about eight tons,
the aggregate value of the uncut
stones being more than $3.50, 900, 900.
In single years the African yield has
exceeded 3, 100000 carats. Not more
than eight per cent of this product it
is stated can be considered of the first
water; about twelve per cent. is of
the second water and twenty five per
cent. is of the third water, while the
remainder is boart which is crushed
to powder and used for cutting hard
substances. This boart is distinct from
the uncrystalline carbonado which is
a cutting agent several times more
valuable as obtained from the Brazil
ian mines. Diamonds have been found
also in the Urals and in Australia
while few small crystals have been
picked up in different parts of the
United States. A locality in New
South Wales is reported to have yield
ed $4,000 diamonds of which the
largest have been cut into gems,
weighing 81 and three carats respec-
lively. Atlanta Constitution.

HOW TO MAKE A sE1F-o1EAS1se c1srERS

HOW TO MAKE SELF CLEANING cIsrERN.
Soft water for washing purposes is
a necessity. To meet this necessity
cisterns of various kinds are built,
but the dust lodging on the roof, to-
gether with dead leaves, and various
substances whirled about by the wind,
will be carried by the water into the
cistern, Unless it is frequently
cleaned, this fouls the water and gives
it a bad odor The following is a de-
scription of a plan for cistern SO ar
ranged as to avoid this difficulty. The
overflow pipe, instead of simply
entering the cistern at the sur
face of the water in the usual way,
continues down the inner surface and
opens near the bottom. Then, when
ever the cistern fills with water and
overhows, the surplus enters the dis
charge pipe at the bottom, thus carry
ing off whatever sediment may have
been deposited. AS the substances
that are washed from the roof into
the cistern always settle gradually to
the bottom, each hard rain that fillsit
to overfowing forces them into the
discharge pipe and carries them off to
the drain. Such foul sediment forms
a good nest for disease germs. Where
the ground is OF firm texture it is not
necessary to brick up the sides, but
the cement may be laid directly on
the earth, Begin by laying out cir
Gle about a foot larger across than the
intended size of the cistern. Dig this
size down three feet, then dig the
cistern six inches smaller on ell sides,
thus leaving a shelf on which to place
the covering stones three feet below
the surface to be out of the way of the
trost Cover it by laying on opposite
sides of this shelf two long fat stones,
eighteen inches apart. Then lay
two other stones across the ends
of these, and man hole eighteen
inches square will be left. 1t is nov

A Very Curious Discovery.

A colored boy made a very curious
discovery few days ago on the banks
Of creek near Bay Bity, Tenn. He
observed a large frog carrying piece
of paper in its mouth disappear in a
hole. The boy dug after him, and
was surprised to find circular nest
filled with paper balls. Singularly
enough, each of these pieces of paper
was a newspaper clipping and con-
tanned poetry. Those who understand
the habits of the frog say this is sim
ply a coincidence. New York Mail

THE MILK TEST.

In practice it is found that the Bah
cock test must be expanded in sprlica-
tion so as to cover five tiings: The
apparatus, the acid, the sample the
manipulation, the operator. These
five things include everything pertain
iEg to the test as machine, the test
as an operation, and the tester. Iowa
leads her sister States in enacting a
law requiring those who buy milk by
the test to make sure that the test bot
ties are correctly calibrated and grad
mated. As the invention is not patent
ed anyone can make the apparatus,
and the test bottles have been thrown
upon the market with no guarantee
that they are correct. Patrons have
been condemned for selling inferior
milk with no evidence against them but
the test bottle and no guarantee that
the test bottle itself was correct.
The new law makes it imperative
that each creamerymana and oil persons
testing milk for others, shall procure
of the Dairy Commissioner a certified
test bottle and the Dairy Commissioner
is required to furnish one bottle GER
titled to be correct, at cost price. In
case of controversy, the one who makes
the test has the burden of proof. He
must prove his test to be correct, and
cannot secure conviction otherwise.
This is right. Before this it was a
one-sided affair, One party did all the
testing; the other was helpless unless
he could prove fraud. Now the per-
son making the charge must support
it with evidence and if the evidence is
the milk test he must substantiate the
accuracy of his test. Orange Judd

A NO.TO-BAC MIRACLE.
PHYSICAL PERFECTION PREVENTED
BY THE USE OF TOBACCO.

An Old Timer of Twenty-three Years To-
baccO Chewing and Smoking Cured. and
Gains Twenty Pounds In Thirty Days.
LAKE GENEVA, Wis, July 21-Special.-
The ladies OF our beautiful little town are
making an interesting and exciting time for
tobacco-using husbands, since the Injurious
effects Of tobacco and the ease with which
1t can be cured by preparation called No.
To-Bac, have been so plainly demonstrated
by the cure of Mr.. F G. Waite. In a written
statement he says: "J smoked and chewed
tobacco for twenty-three years, and I am
sure That my case was one OF the worst in
this part ofthe country. Even after went
to bed at night, If 1 woke up would want
10 chew or smoke. II was not only killing
me but my wife was also ailing from the in
furious effects. Two boxes OF No-To-Bac
CURED me, and have no more desire for to-
bacco than have to jump out of the win
dow. have gained twenty pounds in thirty
days, my wife is we'll. and we are indeed
both happy to say that No-To-Bac is truly
worth its weight in gold to US"
The cure and improvement In Mr.. Waite's
case is looked upon as amiracle-in fact, II
Is the talk Of the town and county, and it is
estimated that over thousand tobacco
users will be using No-To-Bac within few
weeks. The popularity about No-To-Bac as
patent medicine is that the makers, the
Sterling Remedy Company, No. As Randolph
street, Chicago, absolutely guarantee the
use OF three boxes to cure or refund the
money, and the cost. $3.50, is so trihing as
compared with the expensive and unneces-
sary use of tobacco that tobacco using hus-
bands have no good excuse to offer when
their wives insist upon taking No-To-Bac
and getting results in the way OF pure, sweet
breath, wonderful improvement in their
mental and physical condition, with prae-
tical revitalization OF their nicotized nerves.
