Keeping Eggs For Winter.

1 have tried many different methods
Of packing eggs, but have found that
keeping them in brine is more salts
factory than any method of dry pack
ing that 1 have had any experience
with. 1 use jars in which to keep the
brine, although kegs or any water
tight vessels will answer the purpose.
The recipe for making the brine is as
follows: To three gallons of water,
half a pint Of water Stacked lime, of
the consistency of thick cream, and
one pint oflcommon salt. Stir until
both lime and salt are dissolved; then
drop the eggs carefully to prevent
cracking, as a cracked egg will soon
spoil. The eggs must sink gently, not
rapidly, and must almost float, but if
they float on the top the brine is too
strong and more water can be added.
Eggs must be entirely fresh and each
days supply deposited in the brine as
soon as gathered. If these directions
are followed eggs will be fresh in ap-
pearance and quality after being in the
brine year. OF course, q fresh-laid
egg IS preferable for table use or cake
icing to any packed egg, but there are
many ways of using eggs in which a
packed egg answers equally as well,
and there is time in the life of hen,
when moulting, that she does not seem
to have the interest of the housewife
at heart, but is looking after her own
comfort. Eggs then become scarce
and high and arstore of packed ones
from which to draw is very acceptable.

The Presidents visit to the Omaha
Exposition was the cause of a pretty
bit of by-play. While Mr.. Mckinley
was passing through the buildings the
immense crowd was lined up on either
side, and super-abuudant enthusiasm
was restrained--as usually ropes.
But there was one who was not to be
kept back, AS the Chief Executive of
the Nation entered the Manufactures
Building little girl, with tawny hair,
slipped under the ropes, and before
the vigilant arm of a burly policeman
could obey the warning of his more
vigilant eye she had gripped the Presi-

his coat the red carnation that he
always wears, he gave it to the little
girl and put the rose in its place.
Then, and not until then, was the
long procession of Cabinet Ministers,
diplomats, Governors, Senator's and
soldiers allowed to pass on, wondering
what could have been the cause of this
delay.-Philadelphia Press.

A Strange Animal Gronn.

There is an interesting animal group
in the Geological Garden at Leipsic.
A dog is bringing up baby beaver
and baby hyens. At first the young
animals were fed on the bottle. This
not proving satisfactory, the keeper Of
the garden cast about for substitute
and finally made trial of kind dog
as a mother for the baby beaver and
the baby hyena, The experiment was
q success and now the wee-wees are
hourishing. The little beaver is
diligent bather and the little hyena is
an eager devourer of chopped meat.
Notwithstanding their diverse natures,
the beaver and hyena babies get along
capitally together. New York Herald.

Denouuces Liquor Traffic,

The fourth sermon OF the "Under the
Flag" series was preached recently by Rev.
Melbourne p. Boynton at Woodawn Dap-
tist Church, Chicago. His subject was
"Slaves." He said, among other things:
ALI the race is In bondage. When our
colored brethren marched out under the
flag, freed men, all our slaves were not
liberated. Many are still in bondage, n
thralldom worse than that which held the
negro, for this present day slavery Is both
body and soul. Political slaves abound
who care more for party than purity.
Commercial slaves are everywhere-poor
girls whose lives are ground out under the
heel OF satanic greed. So-called mer-
chant princes, whose silly souls are spent
In boarding coined dust. Social bondmen,
whose exterior is silk and interior In rags,
who dress like queens and live like paupers.
Ecclesiastical slaves living in little grooves,
with copyright on heaven.

The Mesozoic Age.

In the latter prrt of the mesozoic
,ge there was great inland ocean,
ipreading over large part of the
crescent continent. The lands then
tbove water were covered with a flora
peculiar to the times and were inhab-
tied by some of the animals which later
distinguished the cenozoic age. In the
seas were reptiles, fishes and turtles
Of gigantic proportions, armed for Of
Tense or defense. There were also
oystcr-like bivalves, with enormous
Chells, three or four feet in diameter,
the meat of which would have fed
many people.
In time this great ocean, swarming
with vigorous life, disappeared.
Mountain ranges and plains gradually
arose, casting forth the waters and
leaving the monsters to die and bleach
in tertiary suns. As the water re-
mained divided into smaller tracts
they gradually lost their saline stabil-
ity. The stronger monsters gorged
on the weaker tribes until they, too,
stranded on rising sand bars or lost
vitality and porished as the water
freshened. In Imagination we can
picture tho strongest, bereft of their
food supply at last and fioundering in
the shallow pools until all remaining
mired or starved. 1t would be inter.
esting to know how much of the great
cretaceous ocean forms part, if any,
of the vast oceans of to-day. Popular

The Anti-Germ Barber Shopa.

Even barbering is becoming scien-
tifc. The germ theory now comes to
the aid of a man who is getting his
chin reaped or his hair cut.
Chicago BARRIERS are introducing
"antiseptic shaves" and "sterilized
razors" and "hygienic" brushes. In
many of the first-class shops all the
towels, shears, razors, combs and
brushes used on customer are sub
jected first to a bath in an antiseptic
fluid. The operator likewise washes
his hands in solution warranted to
destroy germs. Every customer is
furnished with separate cup, which
is kept for his individual use.
1t is claimed that by this method
infection is impossible. Under the
old system germs throve and were
transmitted from face to face by the
barber's tools.-Chicago Inter- Ocean.

Tho main object of pruning currant
bushes is to properly develop every
portion of the plant. To obtain this,
it is necessary to cut out occasionally

A Governor Found in a Hogsheaa.

| f Governor Found In Hogshead.
A goodnatured philanthropist was walk
ing along the docks one Sunday morning,
when he found a boy asleep in hogshead.
He shook him till he was wide awake, and
then opened the following conversation:
What are you doing here, boyf"
81 slept here all night, sir, for l had nc
other place to sleep in"
"How is that? Have you no father or
mother? Who takes care OF your"

for my mother is dead; she died not long
ago." And at the mention OF her name the
boys eyes filed with tears.
"Well, come along with me. I'll give
| you home, and look after you as well as
can"
The child thus adopted on the wharf was
taken to n happy home. He was sent to
common school, and afterwards employed
as clerk in the store Of his benefactor.
When he became OF age, his friend and
benefactor said to him; "You have been
faithful and honest boy and mau, and IL
you will make three promises l will furnish
you with letters of credit, so that you can
start business at the West on your own ac-
count"
"What promises do you wish me to
maker" inquired the young man.
First, that you will not drink intoxicat.
ing liquors OF any kind"
II agree to that"
Second, that you will not use profane
speech"
81 agree to that"
"Third, that you will not become q poll
tician."
"I agree to that"
The young man started In business at the
West, and, by minding his own business,
in few years he became a rich man. At
the close OF the war he came East, and
called upon his friend and accepted father.
philanthropist asked his adopted son II he
had kept his total. abstinence pledge.
Eyes, sir" was the answer.
"Have you abstained from the use OF
profane speech?"
"Yes, sir" said the mau with emphasis.

MIX and Meat For Poultry.

The impression is more or less
general that milk, either pure or
skinned, will take the place of meat
in the poultry ration. While no one
will question the value of milk as
poultry food it should be remembered
that it contains but ten per cent. OF
solids after it is skinned, as against
sighty-nine per cent. OF solids in
meat, of which four per cent. is
mineral matter absolutely essential to
egg production. In the consumption
of milk in place of meat the fowl is
compelled to drink too much water
contained therein in order to obtain
the required solids. When milk is
led in connection with meat we have
combination making most profit
able feeding. The milk may be either
whole or skinned, but it should at
no time be fed when very sour, as it
then decomposes. A very small
amount of cooked fat meat is not OBJ
jectionable, but the best is lean meat
with the bone, the latter run through
