The anti-egging bill, introduced by
W. FL. Morgan, Republican admirer
of Mr.. Carlisle, passed the Senate
Saturday, but with an amendment
offered by Senator Bronston, who was
himself hit in the mouth with stone
while making a Democratic speech
Aast fall. The bill must now return
to the house, but it is pretty sure to
become a law after few more for
malities have been complied with. 1t
provides heavy penalty upon those
who use eggs to discourage the ora
tory of cabinet ministers and other
stump speakers whose efforts are not
appreciated.

Age OF the Earth.

Scieuce and religion have INDUCED in
numerous arguments upon the age OF the
earth. One of the best authorities and
one whose testimony is admitted by al
most all disputants, tells us that that the
earth became solid somewhere between
twenty and thirty millions OF years ago
This statement is based on the length OF
time that would be required to solidify
all OF the strata of which we have any
knowledge. As this has been one OF the
eyer-present subjects for questioning and

that excellent authorities have fnall&

While strictly cash business is most
satisfactory to all concerned, it is not al
ways feasible. The farmer, for example,
who markets his products only at certain
periods is liable to run short of ready
money between times. He must then
make use OF his credit until he can real
ice on his products. And this is just
what nearly every business man must do
for in all lines OF trade there are times
of activity or harvest, and OF dizziness,
when credit must be relied upon. A
mans credit is part of his resources as
much as his farm or his store, and
should aim to maintain its value, Just as
he does the value Of his other possessions.

Egg plant when rightly prepared is

Fried Egg Plant, No. 1.--Peel and cut
into slices about half an inch thick,
salt each slice and pile one over an
other on plate, let stand for an hour.
When ready to fry, press out and

grass stains.
Cover wine stains with salt water
and lay in the sun.
When the color has been taken out
of colored material with am acid, di-
luted ammonia will sometimes restore
it. Chloroform is also an excellent
restorative of color.-New York

To Remove Stains and Mildews.

This is emphatically the season of
fruit stains and mildew Fortunately
too, it is the season of grass bleach
ing and hot sunshine. NIildew is easily
taken out of white goods with chlOr-
ide of lime, but it cannot be used on
colored clothes. Put a small amount
of lime in cold water and stir until
it is entirely dissolved; then strain
through cheese cloth and immerse the
mirdewed article. Work up and down,
and as soon as the spots have bleached
out rinse it through three or four wa
ters and dry.
Fruit stains of all kinds will come
out of white goods if they are taken
in time and treated exactly right.
Raspberry and strawberry stains will
disappear if boiling hot soft water is
poured over them. OXalic acid will re-
move all other fruit stains, and bot
tie should always be kept i'm the laun-
dry AS it lis very poisonous, it should
be plainly labeled and kept out of the
way of children. Get the acid in crys-
talzed form, put in a bottle, and pour
cold water over it. If part remains
undissolved, add water as the solution
is used. It is sure to remove fruit,
leather, or ink stains. Touch only the
spots and rinse quickly and thorough
ly when they disappear. For lace or
muslin add little sal soda or ammo
mia to the first rinsing water. Dilute
the acid at first, and make it stronger
if necessary.
Boiling hot soft water will remove
tea, coffee or chocolate stains. If tea
stains are of long standing, soak in
glycerine and wash the latter out with
cold water.
Use diluted ammonia for orange
and lemon stains.
Make a thick paste of lemon or pie
plant juice and salt and starch for red
iron rust, and expose to the sun. If
one application is not effectual, try
again. OXalic acid is just ais sure for
black iron rust.
Nothing will remove blood stains
better than cold soap suds, to which
kerosene has been added. Kerosene
