PRESERVING EGGS.

Old Methods which HoWo Been Tried and
Never 1eund Wanting.
There 10 no known method by which
eggs can be kept to be equally good as
fresh eggs, but there are many ways
ct preserving them so as to make fair
substitute for use in the kitchen. The
great object to be attained is to pre-
vent evaporation. Cutting off the air
from the contents of the shell pre-
serves them longer than any other
treatment. At present cold storage is
considered the best method of prcserv-
ing eggs, but few have the necessary
facilities, and where the amount is
small one of the following srecipes
will be found acceptable:
Eggs may be preserved by packing
small end down in salt, sand or dry
bran, care being taken that they do
not touch each other. They must be
we'll covered with the packing mate
rial and kept in cool place. If pre-
ferred, they may be wiped before pack
ing with vaseline, to VIII ich salicylic
acid has been added, or given a coating
of salt butter. or covered W ith spirit
varnish made by dissolving gum
sh ellac in alcohol.
For preserving in lime . pickle is
made in the following way: Take
twenty-four gallons Of water, twelve
pounds of unslacked lime and four
pounds of salt, or in that proportion.
according to the quantity of eggs to
be preserved. Stir several times daily
and then let stand until the liquor has
settled and is perfectly clear. Draw
or carefully dip off the clear liquid,
leaving the sediment at the bottom.
Take five ounces each of baking soda,
cream of tartar, saltpeter and borax
and an ounce Of alum. Pulverize and
mix these and dissolve in q gallon of
boiling water, and add to the mixture
about twenty gallons of pure lime
water. This will about fill cider bar
rel. Lower the eggs in carefully in a
basket or colander, so as not to crack
any of the shells, letting the water al
ways stand an inch above the eggs,
which can be done by placing barrel
head . little smaller upon them and
weighting it. The eggs should remain
in tho brine until ready for use. If it
evaporates more water may be added,
but the pickle should never be used
more than once. These proportions
will give brine enough to preserve
about one hundred and fifty dozen
eggs.

Jabez Wilson's forecast had been re-
allied only too fully, and the broken

A week later he stood outside the

ried along the street, entered q shop,
and purchased q tin whistle with his
one remaining copper.
An hour later, and he walked slowly
along tho middle of tho road, his
threadbare coat buttoned up around
his neck, IN old battered hat pressed
tightly down over the struggling gray
hair that blew in the cold wind. and
his dry lips pressed against the whistle.

''My kind benefactcr, that is impos-

much as I do now"
Jabez Wilson sighed. 1t was sad
blow to his vanity and to his peace Of
mind.
"Think 1t over, lad" he began.
NV hen the first pangs of grief at part
ing are passed, you will forget about
your lowly girl in the whirlwind Of
your fame, and she will soon put you
from her mind. Come to me tomorrow
and let me know what you intend
doing" ...,
The next day Mr.. Wilson received
visit from Maggie. She came in tears
to beg his consent. His heart was
touched at the sight Of q woman in
sorrow, and. reviling himself for cold
blooded monster, he told her, in an
outburst of generosity, to go and
marry Luigi as many times as she
liked.
After . twelvemonth spent In Italy
Luigi became perfect. His first ap-
pearance in public was made in Ger.
ardo, and, as he retreated behind the
curtains that night, old Jabez Wilson
waited to press his hands and to tell
him that his dream was at last rea-
lized.
Jabez Wilson walked out Of his 20.
licitor's Office penniless. The bank Of
which he was principal shareholder
had failed, and this, in conjunction
with a few minor disasters, had robbed
him of every penny he had possessed.
He had never in his life done stroke
of work, and was not even capable of
clerical position.
The apartments he had occupied were
given up; the club was never again to
see him or hear what had become Of
him; the fine old wines in his cellar
fetched sufficient to pay his long-stand-
ing rent, with surplus to keep him
in food and lodgings for few weeks
that was all.
From his scanty store he drew q
penny every day to search the papers
for news of Luigi's success. He could
not bring himself to write to him and
to tell him everything. It was pleas
ant enough to know that the man
whom he had dragged from obscurity
should at that moment be making
Europe vibrate with the splendor of
his voice.
One night, as he crouched over the
fire in the dosshouse he frequented,
reading the paper, short paragraph
at the foot of a column caught his eye.

of woman was found in the Grand
canal at Venice. She is said to be the

The world does not work all around
as smoothly as every man and child
would elect TO have 1t. A little exper-
fence and slight observation will con-
vince the most unthinking that he
cannot have 1t all his own way: In the
while our people should understand
that South Carolina is no pent up Utica.
There is o world around us and about
us and as man Is o gregarious animal
and each individual dependent upon
his neighbour, SO there are families Of
communities and states largely depen-
dent mutually for prosperity and pro-
gress. We are led to these reflections
by what is recently going on in our
midst, and notably the Edgefield mob
and lastly the Greenville ly~nching.-
There are, we would observe, cases in
which extra-judicial process may be
waived and the court of Judge Lynch
may be summarily resorted to-
Those cases have been we'll settled
by the we'll understood sanction of at
least enlightened southern and western
sentiment. The jurisdiction OF Judge
Lynch therefore need not be enlarged.
The Edgefield mob was inexcusable;
besides and aside from patent reasons,
1t shows q low grade of civilization
and o lower tone of common thought.
We leave morals out of the question.
Besides, those engaged in that Edge
field mob with q spark of manhood, must
feel excruciating torture and smart
under the terrible castigation admin.
istered to them by Col. Bacon whose
%nieces, fair Edgefeld daughters, we're

%lynching at Greenville on last Sunday
night. Tho party charged with muir
hip that county would have been

who did the iSpching are the juSicial
machinery, Judge, Jury and Executive.
There vas therefore no excuse were
lynching the justiiiable resort in
homicide cases. Aside from all this
the State and the community of South
Carolina have been done infinite harm.
We are in common with the rest of the
world, and our people are clamoring
for development, growth, education.
wealth, we want the of the
world and the help of the world; we need
not such demonstrations as to make
