PRESERVING EGGS.
Take Il common starch box with 4
Siding lid. Put the eggs in the box,
and upon an oyster shell or other
suitable substance place teaspoonful
OF sulphur, and when the fumes begin
to rise briskly shut up the lid, make
the box tight, and do not disturb it
Tor half an hour Now take on: the
eggs, pack in oats, and the job is done.
II tn. oats or packing material be
subjected to the same process it will
be all the better If Il barrelful is to
be preserved, place the eggs in u tight
barrel two-thirds full, with no packing
whatever. Fire Il pound of sulphur
upon a suitable substance on top OF
the eggs in the vacant space over
them, shut up tightly, let stand an
hour, and then take out the eggs. AS
the gas is much heavier than air it
will sink to the bottom, or, rather, fill
up the barrel with the fumes. In an
other barrel or box place some oats,
and treat in the same way. Now pack
the eggs in the oats, head up the
barrel, and turn the barrel every day
to prevent falling of the yolks, using
each end alternately, and they will
keep year, or, according to efficiency
of the operation, a shorter or longer
time, says the Poultry Keeper.
It will be seen by the above that
the process is a dry and neat one, and
very inexpensive, sulphur being very
cheap article. The process was sold
several years ago by certain parties as
"Ozone," but is an old one, and the
parties were exposed, not that the pro-
cess was a fraud, but because they sold
pound of sulphur as ozone for 50.
CURES FOR HEADACHE.

quent cause of headache, and may be
recognized by the ache being on the
top of the head, by constant dizziness
and by noises in the ears. The best
cure is slight stimulant, such as
strong tea or coffee or hot soup-any-
thing which will increase the circula-
ton, says the Chicago Neps. People
who suffer with these headaches should
always sleep with their heads low.
Too much blood on the brain will
cause a splitting headache, which is felt
all over the head. The face becomes
flushed, the temples throb and a strong
light or noise will cause excruciating
pain. These headaches are felt by
people who have too much blood
those who worry by too much study
by too rich or irregular living, or govt
The sufferer is also often afflicted by
palpitation and indigestion, and needs
to be most careful in diet. Meat
should not be eaten more than once a
day.

20 minutes on the nape of the neck
or by the side OF the eye just over the
temple. A piece of brown paper
soaked in vinegar and sprinkled thick
ly with pepper and laid over the pain
full spot is a homely but sometimes
effective remedy. 1t should be kept
on until the paper become dry, when
it should be removed and applied until
the pain is relieved. Precautions
must be taken not to catch fresh cold
after this.
A FURRIER's SECRET.
"Furs become very much soiled and
need renovation as much as any other
part OF a woman's wardrobe" says
Emma NJ. Hooper in the September
Ladies' Home Journal, "but among
the many directions given for cleans
ing and renovating one seldom finds
anything regarding furs. Furriers
keep all such trade secrets strictly
but occasionally there is leakage
and l am able to give the result o
