Some Uses of Eggs.

Country Gentleman.
Eggs boiled twenty minutes are more
readily digested than if boiled five they
are dry and mealy and more easily
acted upon by the gastric juice.
The whites Of eggs will froth more
rapidly If very cold; a pinch of salt
added helps to cool them in warm
weather.
Eggs laid in March or April, If rubbed
with vaseline, into which has been beat
en- little salicylic acid, and packed in
salt, Will keep several months without
perceptible deterioration
raw egg, swallowed Immediately
Is very effective In removing a fishbone
which has become lodged in the throat.
The white OF an egg Is an excellent ap-
plicat1on for burn. If mustard is
mixed with the white of an egg, a blis-
ter will seldom follow the application
Of the plaster.
Hoarseness and tickling in the throat
are relieved with a gargle Of the white
of an egg beaten to froth with tum-
blerful of warm sweetened water
raw egg beaten with little pull
verized sugar, half the quantity Of
lescents or elderly people. Very sick
people can sometimes eat the yelk of
hard-boiled egg when the white cannot
be eaten with safety.
The skin of boiled egg, ,moistened and
applied to boil. will cause suppura-
tion and relieve soreness in a few hours.
1t is also an excellent application for
sty or infiamed eyelids.
A plaster composed of the yelk Of an
egg and salt will often relieve pleurisy,
kidney and neuralgic pains.
Pour boiling water over frozen eggs
and let them remain until the water is
cold; they will then beat nearly as we'll
as fresh eggs. Keep them frozen hard
until ready for use.
To determine the age of eggs, dissolve
quarter of pound of salt in a quart
of cold water, and drop in the eggs one
at time. If day old, an egg will
settle to the bottom; if three days old,
it will float; if more than five days, 1t
will rise above the water in proportion
to its age. a es
To ascertain the quality Of eggs, make
a cone Of stiff white paper place the
egg to be tested, one at time, in the
large end and look through the small
end toward the sun. If the contents
look clear, the egg is good, though the
shell may be discolored: If spots are
seen, it is not good.
To restore the color to black kid
gloves, apply with a soft sponge the

WISHES.

A Reginald Birch little boy
Met the sweetest of Greenaway girls;
She, dressed all in Puritan brown,
He, with cavalier ruffles and curls.
Her eyes were of solemnest brown,
Her hair was cropped close to her head.
His curls were riot Of gold,
His cheeks were Of healthiest red.
They looked at each other a while,
Gay gallant and Puritan maid;
Then the Reginald Birch little boy
Slowly and solemnly said
Il wish you wore ruff1ety clothes!
wish my hair was cut shorti
Cause the boys call me missy and girl
And it interferes SO with my sport.
She said. "Oh. like pretty clothes,
And do wish they'd let my hair curli
L wish you were Greenaway boy,
And 1 was Fauntleroy girl"

What though the sky be cold and gray
And winds be wild and shrill,
Loves messenger shall find his way
Across the vale. and hill
FOR sunilght he shall have your face,
For stars-twoj eyes that shine
Where my heart has Its dwelling place
Your own, dear Vaentine!
He turns to neither left nor right,
But straight ahead he goes;
HIS guide Is Hope whose footstep light
The surest pathway knows;
He bears my message In this scrip,
A song whose everysIine
Shall turn to music on your lip,
Ny own dear Valentine!
oh, when you hear this eager knock
Upon the door begin,
Make haste to lift the heavy lock
And bid young Cupid in.
Glad then shall gleam the skies above
And glad this heart of mine
To be at last with her love
With you, dear Valentine!

Good Road Out of a Mudhole.

A Vermont correspondent of the Ru-
raj New Yorker tells how a mudhole
was changed into a permanent good
road. He says:
This piece of road, being situated
only about 100 rods from a railroad
station, has been known for years, far
and wide, as the poorest in town.
Teamsters always loaded according to
what they could haul through the
mudhole," as it was generally termed.
1t was built in this way AS soon as
the ground was thoroughly settled In
the spring, a hole was dug in the road
large enough to take in a heavy SYRIA
cuse plow. Six strong, steady horses
were attached, and, by going very
slowly, the road was gradually broken
up the entire length and II feet wide.
An excavation was then made, by the
use Of an improved wheel Scraper, to
the depth of about two feet The hole
thus made was then filled with large
stones a little more than level full.
These stones were purchased, at small
expense, of a nearby neighbor who had
stone wall that was exactly in his
way. On top of the stones, was then
piled coarse gravel taken out of a
brook, to the depth of eight inches.
The dirt taken out in excavating
shaped 40 feet wide. Then every 20 feet
eight-inch tile Were put in from the
edge of the stone, at right angles with
the road, and run to the outside ditch
with a good fall. The tile were placed
20 feet apart on either side, a row on
one side came between two on the
other-thus placing a row every 10 feet.
Mr.. Hopkins considers the tile indis-
pensable, for after heavy rains, they
have often been noticed running off
large quantities of water that would
otherwise have remained in the road
to soak through and make mud.

Dear woman, since this world began,
Has searched for an ideal man:
Nor ever dreamed-so foolish She
That such one could never be.
But man-Yho has a wiser streak
Ideal woman does not seek;

The good old kind is much too good.

Shirt Waists.

Harper's Bazaar.
The dear girl readers of the Bazar
who have entreated 1t to keep shirt
waists in fashion," forgetting that the
BaZar merely chronicles the fashions
without making them, may possess
their minds in peace. The large shops
are already displaying on their coun-
ters new cotton waists for the spring
and summer Of 1896. One great retail
store is known to have bought six
thousand five hundred waists Of

The Hired Man on the Farm.

Wallace's Farmer.
There is frequently more or less fric-
tion between the hired man and his
employer. There Is a disposition on
the part Of some farmers to treat the
hired man as If he were devoid of SEN
sibilities, and could be ordered around
in rude way like the horse or the
dog. We were much pleased at a re-
cent institute to hear an old farmer,
who had large experience in hiring
hands, state that in all the long years
Of his experience he had had but little
trouble with his hired hands, and as
signed as reason that he treated the
hired hand as one of the family; that if
he were sick, even slightly he gave
him the day and took no account of it;
that when he subscribed for singing
school for his sons and daughtres he
always subscribed for the hired man
and made no charge. Treated in this
way he found his hands loyal to him
on all occasions, and received much
better service than he could under any
other circumstances. On being ques-
toned as to whether he had not some
times found hands who were not re-
sponsive to this treatment, he admitted
such to be the fact, but stated that
when the hired man would not respond
to kindness and to fair and honorable
treatment that one gentleman gives to
another, he dismissed him at the earli-
est opportunity

err in the evening he attended a church
supper and seemed to have had an en-
loyable time. After returning home he
retired at the usual hour and nothing

three fishermen were carried out in Ke-
weenaw bay on floating ice, but through
the herioc efforts of residents along the

with the lines, when, with crack, the
ice broke loose and was carried before

Small boats set out into the seething
waves among the small icebergs and one
by one the fishermen We're picked up.
