The Tfmberman says: The farmer Of
the United States has gotten beyond
the point where he wishes the cheapest
thing, simply because II IL cheap, but
he, like every sensible man, wants the
most possible for his money, with due
consideration to reasonable profit to
everyone legitimately engaged in man
ufacture or trade. Economy in buying
depends not so much on the actual
price as upon the peculiar adaptabiIity
of the thing purchased to the purpose
for which II Is intended. The wider ac-
quaintance the lumber buyer or con-
sumner has with different varieties Of
woods-with their peculiarities OF
strength, durability, workable quail
ties, etc.-the more economically he
will buy. Having such knowledge, he
will find sometimes that the more cost
ly article is really the cheaper, or he
may find that the cheap articles may,
for certain uses, be as satisfactory az
the more expensive one with which he
Is acquainted. To the farmer, hemlock

French journal the following method
OF preserving eggs: Dissolve in two
thirds Of warm olive oil. one-third Of
beeswax and cover each egg complete
ly with a thin layer OF this pomads
with the end Of the finger. The egg
shell BY degrees absorbs the oil and
each OF the pores becomes filled with
wax, which Theoretically seals them.
VI. Bournouf affirms that he has eaten
eggs kept two years in this manner in
a place not exposed to too great ex-
tremes or temperature. He thinks also
that the germ may in this manner be
preserved for considerable time.

the vicissitudes Of a lively chap who

this evening Ups and Downs of Life"
Oliver DGud Byron has long been rec
ognized as one of the foremost actors
in the comedy drama line, and has prob
ably more friends among the theater-
goers than any other actor who pre-
sents that class of attractions. His
play, the Ups and Downs of Life" is
written on the best of melodramatic
and comedy lines, MI. Byron having one
OF those daring, heroic parts that make
him so welcome. Kate Byron is an
actress who has made for herself a line
of comedy peculiarly her own. Mr. and
Mrs. Byron have an unusually strong
company One particular feature will
be the introduction of new and novel
musical specialties and the first appear
ance here of a young and beautiful dan
who have seen her to be a marvel in
grace and nimbleness.
This same play will be repeated at
the matinee Saturday. Tomorrow af-
