Methods OF Packing Which Have Bee
Tried With Mora or Les Succeas.

Methods OF Psekiag which Have Been
Tried with More or Less Success
While there is get no known process
that win keep eggs for any length OF
time as good as they are when fresh.
they can be kept so as to be markets.
BILE We give few of the many meth
DDS, with this advice: Make a trial on
8 small scale at first, and then if your
success warrants,you can increase next
year
To start with, only strictly fresh
eggs can be preserved, and in packing
they mast not touch one another, as
one bad egg coming in contact with
another will soon spoil the whole lot
The eggs of hens that have been
kept separate from roosters will keep
better than those that have been fer
tilted.
Another item is to store the eggs in
q place where the temperature is as
even as possible. A cellar, if not too
damp, or a cold storage house will be q
good place.
The temperature should be kept as
nearly sixty degrees as possible, and
the more even the temperature the bet
ter they will keep. Eggs fresh and not
fortified, kept in a cool, dark place
and turned half over every other day
will keep a month or six weeks in good
condition without any other prepare
ton.
One method of keeping is to make
strong whitewash and thoroughly inn
merse the eggs IN this, taking care
that the whole surface of the she'll is
coated. After they are dry put them
on racks in such way that they can
be turned readily.
Another plan is to take boxes or bar
rels and put in layer of salt and then
a layer of eggs, setting the eggs on
end and taking care not to let them
touch each other.
Some prefer to use finely sifted coal
ashes, packing in the same way.
Twenty grains of salicylic acid in
one gill of cotton seed oil may be used
for greasing the eggs all over; then
lay them in racks.
Another plan is to take bushel of
unslaked lime and eight quarts of salt
to sixty gallons of water, or these pro-
portions for a smaller quantity.
Stake the lime with portion of the
water. then aid the rest of the water
and salt, stir it well so that all will
dissolve. Let it settle and cool, and
then draw or dip off the clear pickle
into preserving vessel to the depth
of fifteen inches. Carefully put in as
many eggs as the pickle will cover.
Then pour in a little pickle that is
| slightly milky, made SO by stirring in
to it little of what has settled to the
bottom. Continue in this way as
every fresh lot of eggs is added. Use
only fresh eggs. and be careful not to
put in enough lime to settle in thick
sediment at the bottom. Keep the
vessel in a cool place, the eggs always
| covered few inches with the pickle.

NOTES ABOUT HORSES.

DRIVE slowly through sandy or
muddy places or on rising ground.
\ LITTLE whitewash is excellent for
cleansing and purifying the stable.
TRoTTINe sports are steadily gaining
in popularity in Great Britain and
Ireland.
WHEN training the colt do not forget
to teach him the art of standing after
being hitched.
THE champion trotting record of
England is 2:24sz, made last season by
the American trotter Rowley.
An excellent sign for the future is
the fact that more attention is being
given to the development of driving
qualities in the road horse.
HORSES in training should be fed
regularly, and the quantity of food
should be proportioned to the work
and digestion of each animal.

TWO HUMANITARIANS.

They Meant All Right, but Their Phil
osophy Was Bad.
An observing person who rides on
the street cars is liable to run across a
good many interesting things in the
course of time, and when an individual
with the gift of perception rides regu-
larly upon the cars in pursuit of q liv-
ing and either punches the fares or di-
reefs the vehicle he is a good man to
meet occasionally. The man of this
character is a conductor on an ( street
car, and one day last week the writer
was chatting with him on the rear
platform. Two ladies and two chill
dren climbed aboard and the conduct
or went in to collect their fares,
''See that?" he inquired when he re-
turned to the platform
''See what?" queried the reporter.
''Why, those two women who got on
just now with the children When
they paid their fares the little ones
were sitting in their laps and they
only gave up two tickets Now you
see they have deposited the children in
the seat in front of them and they &C.
cupy it all. Of course, as the car gets
crowded 1 will have to demand fares
for those two kids. and then there'll be
a rumpus as sure as you are born"
1.-The funniest thing, though, that
has come under my experience in the
past four or five months occurred on
my car yesterday" he went on, as he
rang up n fare. You know it was
pretty hot. The fact is. it was about
the hottest day / ever felt in my life,
and 1 wouldn't have been surprised to
have seen the horses topple over at any
minute. A couple CT mighty sweet
looking young ladies got on my car
near the Shoreham as L was coming
down town and took the last seat. L
couldn't help hearing their CONVERSE
ton, and l found out pretty soon that
they were both members of the HUI
name society. Every horse and other
dumb animal that came along the
street was an object of their pity, but
didn't hear them say much about the
human beings who were plodding
along, sweltering and suffering in the
sun. Well, sir. when the car got down
near Twelfth street, one OF them says
to the other: Now, Minnie. III get
! out on this side of Eleventh street and
you get out on the other side, because
in that way, you see, the car viii have
to stop twice, and so the poor horses
will have two rests
And there isn't any doubt in my
mind" concluded the conductor, that
those two girls thought they were just
showering kindness o:i the horses II

Autumn. The trees have taken off
their clothes and gone to sleep. In tn d;
midst of deep wood, that might ap-
pear somber but for the filtered rays
of the setting sun, hunter sits upon
the lichen-covered trunk of fallen
oak. At his feet is carelessly thrown
the days bag-squirrels and rabbits
and other pretty denizens of the fer
est, now forming a most pathetic pic
ture of still life. The hunters bronzed
face is tinted with the glory of the
dying day. Contentment is written on
his attitude and in the expression OF
his eyes. He has had a good day.
Game has been plentiful and the air
bracing and delightful. The stock of
his gun leans against the PROSTATE
oak, the barrel at an angle pointing
toward him. His thoughts are pleas
ant and the grim finger of destiny has
no meaning for him. He takes out his
pipe, gazing the while amid the
Bare ruined choirs
Where late the sweet bird sang.
Slowly and peacefully he strikes a
match on his russell boot and applies it
to the fragrant contents of the mellow
briar bowl. AS the clouds of aromatic
incense arise they are shot through
with the golden shafts of sunlight and
disappear amid the groined arches of
the grand old trees Motionless, stat
uesque, the hunter falls into a reverie.
The dead monarch on which the hun
ter sits is. honeycombed with sylvan
caverns. 1t forms atenement house fl T
strange and diverse little creatures
whose home Is the forest. And now,
from one of the apertures of its many
hollows, a little red squirrel appears.
It's movements are quick and nervous,
and it throws its little body and brush
into pretty waves as it advances. The
hunter moves not. The patter of the
tiny feet of the little red and brown
midget on the leaves is not heard.
Hating mOmentarily to raise itself on
its launches and look about, it APP
proaches the gun stock. In a spirit of
frolic it attempts to flash through the
steel circle that guards the lock.
| Click! A shot rings out through the
forest, and the hunter lies amid his
game.-Donahoe's Magazine.

Marking the Mugs.

Some years ago in India. at the Roy
al Artillery hospital tin mugs were
used in place of teacups. These the
patients appeared to like, as several of
them were stolen. The sergeant in
charge was determined to put stop to
this, so he marked the mugs with the
letters 7. o.. and before several days
had passed he managed to capture one
of the thieves, who was forthwith
taken before the chief. In disposing
of the case the chief asked the SER
geant what he meant by the letters T.

rather amused at the prompt reply:

preston is so strong that the Chinese
Empire is in danger of dIsintegratiOu
that the European agents of that Gov
eminent are resorting to eXtraordi-
nary measures to counterfeit it. The
news agency which brings the bulk of
news of the war to London, received
letter from a member of the Chinese
Legation yesterday, and it stopped
distributing unfavorable reports of
Chinese domestic affairs. This, of
course, is to facilitate floating the Chi
nese Loan. A Vienna banking house
has finally undertaken to do this, and
it will be offered at various European
capitals in a few days. The Roths-

NEW SUPREME VICE.
h. Laws to Be at the Head of Island
Knights.

H. Laws, the Republics auditor.
general, has been appointed Su'
preme Vice-Chancellor for the
Knights of Pythias lodges of the
Hawaiian Islands. By members
of the order throughout the world
this is deemed a high honor. Mr.
Laws succeeds Chas. J. Mccarthy.
Hawaii is a special jurisdiction,
and the only one in the Pythian
organization having so exalted an
officer at its head as a deputy OF
of the very ruler of the order.
For many years Mr.. Laws has
been an enthusiastic worker in
Pythianism. He is a past chan
cellor of Aloha Lodge, No. 2, of
Kahului, Maui. His name was by
unanimous vote of that lodge sub
mitted to Mystic Lodge, No. 2, of
this city. The latter made the Off
cial nomination. This was Sec
onded by Oahu, No. l, of Honolulu,
and approved by all lodges through
out the group.
The commission of Mr.. Laws as
Vice Supreme Chancellor is ex-
pected by the Australia. He will
thereupon be formally presented to
the lodges here by the retiring
vice, Mr.. Mccarthy.
Mystic Lodge has ordered some
high-class theatrical effects to be
used in work" When the mater
ial arrives an exhibition for the
benefit of all knights of the city
will be given. Chancellor Gear
and Master of Work Murphy have
been active in laboring for improve
ment. Past Chancellor Mehrtens
will supervise some changes to be
made in the hall.
Oahu Lodge, during the term of
Chancellor George Hawkins, is
having a genuine boom. Their
team has had some good material
to work upon.

THE LEAGUE TOOK ACTION.
1t Holds a Session On the J. A.
MagOon Letter.
Determining the Clubs PositiOn--T The
Attorneys Printed Views at Nari-
ance--AnnexatIon the Idea.

One of the semi occasional serious"
meetings was held by the American
League Wednesday. 1t lasted till 10
o'clock, and was attended by about
about the affair that it is perhaps we'll
to thus early publish correct YER
sion.
At the last regular convention the
secretary was instructed TO request j.
A. Magoon to tell the League if cor
respondence signed by him in local
paper was authentic. Mr.. MACON
answered that he hau written the let
ter. Did it correctly express his
views? 1t did, he said. Did he con-
slider holding such an opinion compa-
tible with membership in the Ameri-
can League? Mr.. Magoon said he
failed to observe any inconsistency.
His idea had been that the League
was formed to advocate annexation or
to secure for the islands a stable gov
eminent. He considered the Repub-
lie stable and satisfactory form OF
government.
By majority vote the League held
that it was an annexation organiza-
ton, and that Mr.. Magoon was an
anti-anneXationist. This action read
him out of the League.
The proceedings were marked by
expressions of confidence in Mr..
Magoon's manhood and honesty
and by tolerance for his opinion. The
League believes in the Republic and
is for it and with it and will stand by
it through thick and thin. Its devo-
ton to the Republic is only exceeded
by its devotion to the political princi-
pie of annexation. These are the
views expressed by those who on ac-
count of Mr.. Magoon's agreeable per-
sonality reluctantly took issue with
Linn. 1t was felt that single mem
Der of the League opposed to the con-
slant advocacy of annexation was out
of place. One speaker claimed that
such an element would be a menace
to the Republic.
Mr.. Magoon's letter on annexation
was printed some days before election
and brought out no end Of comment.
