EGGS MARKETED AT AUCTION.
The Chatham Bank UnIOads 1880
Dozen.


The Chatham Bank has sold the fifty
five cases of eggs consigned to c. r.
Holmes & Co. by D. B. Bond, Tennessee
shipper. The eggs 1850 dozen, it will be
remembered, were shipped C. o. d. to
Holmes & Co, and attached by them for
a debt owed them by d. B. Bond. They
were taken from the CentraPs freight
house by constable and stored away to
be sold to-day, but the Chatham Bank had
a prior claim as agent upon the property
as prepaid drafts on Holmes e. Co. with
the bill OF laGing of the eggs attached had
beer received by II from a Tennessee cor
respondent
Upon che presentation of these drafts,
which amounted TO some $3.50 the eggs
were delivered by Justice Bevans in whose
court the attachment had been issued. The
bank realized enough by the sale to cover
the face of the drafts. aud the egg case
50 far as IL was concerned, was satisfacto-
rily concluded.

Miscellaneous Bits Eof Information,
Gossip and Fancy.
EiREslpE FRAGMENTS.

-,Jellied Veal.-Boil the veal tender
pick it up fine, put in mold, add the
water it was boiled in, and set 1t in a
cold place; season with salt and pepper
to taste. A layer of hard-boiled eggs
improves it.-Home.
--1incture of grindelia is said to be
an excellent cure for ivy poison. Dilute
it with about three parts of water and
battle the affected parts. 1t should be
applied as soon as the irritation is felt
and before the characteristic pustules
appear.
"A good way to solve the problem OF
how to take care of our dress waists in
these days of large sleeves that are Sc
easily crushed is to screw several OF the
frames on which mems coats are hung
into the ceiling of a wardrobe or on the
lower surface of closet shelf and hang
the garments on them.
Rice Puffs.-To make dozen, take
a cupful of cold boiled rice, two cupfuls
of milk, a pint of flour, a teaspoonful OF
salt, q tablespoonful of melted butter,
and three eggs beaten to froth. Mix
thoroughly together in the order
named, have the gem pans hot when
filed, and bake for half an hour in a
rather quick oven. Serve hot, with
liquid sauce.-Good Housekeeping.
--Pistachio Cream.-Blanch one-half
pound of pistachio nuts and pound
them to paste with a teaspoonful OF
brandy. Add the paste to pint and a
half of good cream, sweeten to your
taste, add the yolks of two beaten eggs,
and stir it over the fire until it becomes
thick. Pour it into a glass dish, and
when cold stick long shreds of pistachio
nuts over the top.--Boston Budget.
"A Good Brown Bread.-Two cups Of
sour milk. one cup molasses, one cup
sifted graham -four, one and half tea
spoonfuls of baking soda, sifted with
one third cup of white -four, one tea
spoonful salt. Mix molasses and sour
milk, then stir in the meal and flour;
pour into two small, buttered pals and
steam three hours, then set in the oven
aud bake from 20 to 30 minutes. Sweet
milk may be used IL preferred. Do not
throw away the bran that is left after
sitting the graham -four. 1t makes an
excellent an nutritious jelly.-Ladies'
Home Journal.
L0nion Tart.-Peel and slice the
onions thinly. Line dish with pastry,
place layer of onions in the bottom,
sprinkle over pepper, salt, a little -four,
then more onions, then salt and pepper
until the dish is full. p ur over some
sweet cream or butter and milk, and
cover with pastry; bake until the onions
are tender. This is delicious ice ,n-
paniment to the baked or boiled meats.
Another method is to use alternate lay
ers of sliced onions and potatoes. both
raw, season with salt, pepper, butter.
and pour over little milk or water and
bake until done. No pastry is used in
the latter recipe. Both should be
served very hot.--Orange Judd Farmer.

vnigariIing Roentgen Rays.

Roentgen rays are becoming vulgar
lied rapidly. Prof. Brouardei, of the
municipal laboratory of Paris has used
them to find the contents of internal
machines, and has seen nails, screws,
cartridges and even the grains of powder
in bomb. An Englishman asserts
that he can tell pure claret from adI'-
terated by the use of the rays. In Der.
lin they have been introduced in a new
farce. An English photographer, who
sent out picture of a foot showing an
imbedded needle, received telegram
from customer, saying: "Photograms
received very tame. Send more sensa-
tional ones, such as interior of belly,
backbone, brains, liver, kidneys, heart,
lungs, soul."-N. Y. Sun.

a MYSTERIOUS LEAK.
It Was Worm Hole in the Keel of the
Sailboat.

It Was q Worm Hole In the Keel of the
sailboat.
There was a man had Connecticut
river boat built, which cost him s235,
aud she was beauty. She could 20
quite nicely and the man was pleased
with her till he found she leaked. "Oh,
WE'LL" said he, "that's easily remedied."
So he looked her all over for the leak.
He couldn't find crevice. He filled
up several places that he thought might
have let in little water, but it didn't
do the least bit of good. He gave it up
finally and sold the boat for $35, and
thought he had the best of it at that.
The fellow who bought the craft,
says the New York Herald, knew she
was fast sailor and he had an idea
that he was smart enough to find that
leak, but it wasn't long before he began
to think maybe he wasn't such sue
cess as he might be. She leaked just
the same regular amount all the time.
One Sunday he made up his mind he
would find that hole if he never came
back. He took her out and, after she
had shown that she was in good leak
ing form, he beached her. After the
tide went down he went all around her,
listening as a doctor listens for lung
trouble. He heard sucking noise
about her keel. He got down on the
under side and in the timber of the
keel was worm hole in the wood. 1t
had been there when the beam was
shaped. 1t probably wound around
like letter s and to look for il on the
inside would be something like hunt,
ing needle in haystack. lie stuck
a match in the hole to see how big it
was. 1t just fitted. The match broke
Off and he let it go at that. She has
never leaked drop from that day to
this.

Young Lady In n Fashionable School Was
Unable to See Caller.
In a fashionable uptown boarding
school the other day young miss

the next visiting day with handsome
and very captivating young fellow.
She said all the girls might see him,
but only two or three of her best and
dearest friends should be introduced

says the New York Sun, and with it
came the sister and the young man.
There was fiutter all over the school.
The visitors sat in the parlor while
Miss Rapid gave the finishing touches
TO her toilet. Meantime the principal
of the school entered the parlor. She
asked for the visitors names and got
them. And yoa are not related to
this young lady?" she inquired of the
youth. mo, ma'am," said he; "just a
friend. that's ALL" 'Oh,' said the
principal, ''only relatives may visit our
pupils, SO | must ask you to let me en-
terrain you in my Office until the sisters
have had their visit" This was the
situation when Miss Rapid came down
into the parlor. She bore herself
bravely. but all through the air of the
big brownstone house there was an
undertone of strange, choking, indie
scribable noise. 1t was the suppressed
giggling of the other girls.

In Spite OF the Fact That They Are
Called Oregon Pine.
Puget sound timber goes everywhere,
even into the masts of the fleet yachts
made by both America and England to
race for the Americas cup. But the
point of most interest to the people of
this region is that the great spars of
noble Douglas fir shipped from this re-
gion, as soon as they PASS beyond the
state line, have fastened upon them the
name of Oregon pine" The spars
from which the masts of the Defender
and the Valliyrie have been made were
cut in Sol Simpsons logging camp at
Kamilehie, Wash, and afterward
shipped from Port Blakeley.
Washington annually sends out at
least 100 vessels. timber laden, in every
direction, all the way from Corea to
Australia and the Hawaiian islands,
and even to the Kimberly diamond
mines and the johannesburg gold
mines, in Africa It is stated that the
dag of the emperor of Japan flies from
stick of Puget sound timber, and it
is known positively that the flagstaff
on Windsor castle, from which waves
the union jack in the daily view of
Queen Victoria, is n Douglas fir from
Puget sound-a Yankee contribution to
the furniture of the monarch of the
British isles. II is also true that the
largest flagstaff in Maine, the Pine Tree
state, is at Lewiston, and ii came from
Puget sound. Nor is it remarkable
piece of timber, as one comes to think
who lives in Washington. 1t is all the
Douglas fir, yet ii is known abroad as

Are Greatly Exercised.
Chinese politicians are doubtless
making great capital out of the fact
just now that the price of sharks fins
has gone up enormously of late.
Whether this is really due to these hot
sea leviathans becoming scarcer, like
whales, or to their displaying more ac-
tivity in evading capture, is disputable,
but the fact remains that their fins.
az delicacy, are becoming dearer and
deareE.
1t is generally supposed that sharks
fins are never eaten outside of the
celestial empire, but they do occasional
ly figure In select banquets in England
and France. So far as known they have
not become staple luxury in this coun-
try, however, though they are occasion
iy served at banquets given by San
francisco epicures. The Chinese are
very fond of them. and, notwithstand-
ing the cost of the last war, still show
such desire for these delicacies that
the price is still rising.

How and why It Rains.

Rain is the accumulation of the tiny
particles of the vapor of the atmos-
?here into drops. These drops, first
small of size, attract others of their
kind and become drops of such magni-
tude that they fall to the earth be-
cause of their weight. There is limit
to the quantity of water which the air
is capable of absorbing and retaining
rs invisible vapor. Warm air is able to
hold more than cold air. Hence. when
the air which is saturated with mois-
ture becomes cold for any reason what
ever, it can no longer retain it's mois-
lure. A portion must, under such con-
1ition, accumulate into drops. These
tall to the earth in the shape of rain.
