perfect type of those bred in the

unusual, but this IS expected TO diminish

was 200 miles southeast Of Key West, the

Japanese squadron from revisitiug the
mouth of the Yalu and DESTROYING any

Further, it would be easy tor the Japa-

base of operations further north, thus
supplying reinforcements to the column
marching northward from Ping ang.
This is almost certain to be done if an ad-

Commenting on dispatch stating that
fresh Japanese army $4,000 strong is

their destination. If this is true there

that is dash on Pekin
With necessary frankness the Japa-
nese general has expressed his intention
of seizing Moukden, but as he is known to
be past master in the art of deceiving it
may be assumed tnaG he does not intend
to do anything of the kind. He could
easily send an army to Pekin, a great
part of the way by sea.

Premier Crispi's speech at Naples still

tendency toward rapprOcchement ex-

and, therefore, sought a reconciliation
with the vatican. He has been given to
understand that the first result of this step
would be the restitution of Rome TO the
pope. The vatican has gone to the length
of stating that no dealings will be had
with the quirinal until the day when the
court and government vacate Rome.
When Signor Crispi found that his over

1t is wonderful how cheap clothing is in
Japan" said Miltcn Smythe, Of Chicago, to
a reporter 81 have recently been in Toxic,
Yokohama and other japanese cities and |
found could buy English-made clothing at
about the same retail prices it brings in
London. The reason for this is that by
treaty with England only five per cent in
duty is charged and the freight on large
consignment does not materially add to the
cost.
CLOTHES made to order are equally cheap.
The tailoring is done by Chinese by piece
work at prices an American could not make
a living at, and if you are not satisfied with
the fit you do not take it. You can get
good business suit of imported cloth made
to order for $40. A fui-lined overcoat with
beaver collar can be had for $50, which
amount would not pay for the material in
this country. Ladies clOaks, silk aud other
dress goods are equally cheap, and embroid-
cred silk crepe gowns can be obtained cheap
er than the commonest of dresses here
Clothing is so cheap that anybody can save
the cost Of the trip by laying in a supply"

POETR Y.
OLD-TIME DAYS.

/ can see the river gliding, as it used to long
ago,
Round the shoulder of the meadow where the
thick-set willows grow.
l can hear it purl and ripple in gentle lullaby,
To a little barefoot dreamer gazing up into the
sky.
Yonder lie the brown old farmhouse, crown d
with chimney huge and square,
And the barn beloved by swallows, with It's
weather-cock in air,
l can hear the river-ripple blend with cow
bells from the HILL
And the far.off clang and rumble Of the log
frame in the MILL
How loved to lie a-dreaming in the deep and
quiet grass
While watched the ghosts of MONDAY thro'
the fields of heaven pass
was happy-Oh, so happy while the pur-
ling of the stream
Seemed to weave a little poem for the music
of my dream.
Oh, to taste once more the pleasure that knew
in years gone by,
When my heart was full of sunshine as the
summer morning sky
Oh, to feel that outdoor gladness when the
days were fresh and long,
And the blue bird climbed to heaven on the
ladder of his song

Preserving Eggs.

To start with, the eggs must be perfectly
fresh. They will also keep better if infer
tile. They should be clean and have good
shells. The simplest method of preserving
them where there are proper facilities is by
cold storage, SAYS Orange Judd Farmer
The eggs are simply kept at a temperature
of forty to forty-fve degrees and turned
once or twice a week. For the farmer per-
haps the easiest and simplest method, and
at the same time good one, is to pack them
in salt so that no two shall touch each 9TH
er and turn the package containing them
once or twice a week. The salt should be
kept at a moderate temperature. Sand,
coal, ashes, bran, dry earth, etc, are some
times used for the same purpose. Some
times eggs so packed are coated with bees
wax, spermaceti, linseed oil, lard or other
similar substances.
The sulphur process is good one if thor
oughly applied, In this the eggs are sub
ected to the fumes of burning sulphur for
from one half to one hour This IS done by
placing the eggs in a box or barrel that may
be tightly closed and igniting teaspoonful
of sulphur in some freproof receptacle
above the eggs. After the eggs are treated
they may be packed in the way previously
mentioned.
Many are preserved every year by the
lime process. Some little skill and expert
ence are necessary to insure success with
this. The most common method is as fol-
lows Put four pounds of salt and twelve
pounds unsaked lime into twenty. four gal
Ions of water Stir it well several times
during the day Then let it settle until per-
fecty clear, aud draw of twenty gallons of
the liquid Dissolve in gallon OF boiling
water, five ounces each of baking soda, cream
of tartar, saltpeter and borax, and one ounce
of alum, and pour the mixture into the lime
water. This quantity is sufficient for about
$50 dozen eggs. Put them in a tight, clean
cask and cover with the liquid; spread a
cloth over the top and cover it with the lime
sediment. As the water evaporates, add
more as the eggs must be kept covered, says
a writer in an exchange They may be Ia
ken out of the pickle after they have been
in it month, or left in longer if desired.

Wool has advanced in price under The

price Of sheep. Some Aocks Of sheep have
recently been sold at twice the price they
were worth in July. If you have sheep
that was worth 81 in July, it will most like
ly bring you = now. That one dollar ad-
vance is due to The new tariff law which put
wool on the free list and opened a market

Charm of Ne,c England Scenery.

There is something in the New England
landscape, whether taken in the lowlsnds
CT in the highlands, whether on the seashore
or among the mountains, which is perma-
nenty attractive. 1t is never wearisome,
never monotonous. In the winter the White
hills are sternly serene and beautiful in their
mantles of snow, and though less inviting
than in the summer, appeal to the imagina'
ton with striking effect. The variety OF
hill and valley is such that even when the
snow covers the ground and nature takes on
the appearance of uniformity the charm of
the view is not lost, but heightened.
| have found the White mountains on a
frosty winter morning, with heavy clouds
sweeping over the shoulders of Mount Wash
iugton, and the snow white peak glstening
in the sun as if it were covered with dia-
monds, irrisistibly attractive to the imagina-
ton and awakening strong emotions that
could not easily be controlled There was a
severity in their outlines which never ap-
pears when they are clothed in the ever
green and the browns Of the heated season.
