Eggs by the Quart.

"Give me quart of yolks."
What are the whites worth TODAY p
Send me up gallon of mixed"
Such expressions as these will be ia
miliar terms in grocery stores and
butcher shops in Kansas City before
long, says the Times. Housewives
will make them so. For eggs will be
sold by the pint, quart and gallon in
stead of by the dozen. In fact, the
big confectionery establishments of
the city buy them by the gallon now.
Kitchen economy suggested the
scheme and local packers Immediately
took it up.
How often it is that a cook will
break dozen or more eggs in order
to get the yolks to make a cake. The
whites will be thrown away. Or vice
versa. Why not make a saving of the
whites or yolks, as the case might be =?
was suggested The packers put the
question to the confectioners and the
latter saw the point, and now order
white, yolk or mixed.
With this new system of handling
"hen fruit" there is absolutely no loss
The egg shells are even used. They
are ground up and sold for chicken
feed.

The ParchfnG. whitening Thirst of n
Man who Made the Trip.

In the new Lippincott for Septem-
Der, Albert Bigelow Haine thus de-
scribes his suffering from thirst, while
travelling alone through Southwest
7 eNas having lost the trail:
My thirst had become torture, and
suddenly remembering that l had once
heard of Indians finding moisture in
the heart of lne niggerhead cactus, 1
strove to uproot one by kicking it
fiercely with the heel of my heavy
boot. The cactus grew everywhere in
Erofusion, adhering to the soil with
great tenacity, while its long, horny
spikes made it difficult to handle even
when uprooted. Still / managed at
last to get one loosened and cut open.
There was a pulp within that contain
ed some semblance of moisture, but 1
could not see that it ailayed my thirst.
Perhaps / was not accustomed to it's
Use. My hands were torn by the
thorns and my feet wounded in many
places. / was suffering and weary,
and my thirst was becoming unbeara-
BILE.
1t was getting late by this time, and
if l was to reach Pecos before dark,
/ must push on in spite of pain and
WEAKNESS.
My clothes were becoming tattered
and my hands were bleeding, and all
other misfortune was forgotten now
in the fierce blight of thirst that had
fixed itself upon me like a whitening
demon. When at last it began to grow
dark 1 uprooted more of the niger
head cactuses, and, tearing the hearts
from them, chewed and sucked as one
might chew and suck sponge from
which the last trace of moisture has
been all but pressed. I ate part of
my last sandwich, and then, thorough
ly exhausted and mad with thirst, I
sank down upon the hot, sandy earth
and stared up at the darkened sky.

THE TRAGEDY OF A PICTURE.

Physicians and alienists agree that
Munkacsy's terrible collapse is due to
lis intense application upon ''Ecce
Homo" the latest and greatest of his
paintings. The master worked almost
ircessaHtly upon the picture for eight
II uths. He ate but little, and slept
less: he took no exercise, received no

let months. And that was in order

eyes seized on man with delicate fea-
lures, spiritual expression and

demanded the Hungarian. ''The one
/ have imagined is finished. but he
does not suit me. Come, I pray you'll"
The big, seedy individual with the
glowing eyes frightened the smaller
man. He walked to the mansion in
the Rue Nilliers with the wild stran-
ger, but he was careful to keep well
out of reach. 1t needed the magic
name of Munkacsy on the doorplate to
reassure him.
With the stranger as model, the
master painted day after day, but still
the Christ did not please him. II like

said angrily, blotting out the work of
a week with furious stroke, and the
stranger carried away a pocketful of
francs and the conviction that he had
been locked in the studio with a luna
tic.
Steadily Munkacsy painted his "Ecce

hours, and when WEAKNESS compelled
him to drop his brush he lay in
tense, half-conscious state, his face
thin and white that of corpse. No
one intruded upon the solitude of his
studio except madame, and that was
under silent sufferance.

for the hasty scrawling of his name

her, first saw daylight in Louisville. KY,
in 1862. Her father was a banker in that
city. Two years after this event the FAM

girl of IL years to live with her grand
mother In what was known as the "Old

West GAINESVILLE and Natchez were on the
opposite side of the Muskingum tcalled

the middle of the Muskingum, divides int

Station ON Underground Railway.
But between these two periods was one
of strife and warfare. And before the
civil war was a time when men were
hunted like wild beasts. The Inhabitants
of the village OF Putnam. true to their
New England instincts, were on the side
of freedom and justice, and when the war
of 81 broke out they sent their boys to
camp and field, just as they did a few
months ago when the cry Of oppression
rent the skies.
1t was perfectly natural, then. to find
a Putnam station on the underground
railway, that passage by which so many
of the slaves found their way to free
DOM It was equally natural that the
old stone fort should be chosen as the
place for the concealment Of the slaves.
And 1t lent itself to this noble work
easily; for under the front OF the house
was q large space that had not been dug
into a cellar and yet had sufficient room
for several persons to hide in comfort.
There were no outer doors to this space
nor visible inner doors; but some trap
doors had been let into the floor. and
through these the fleeing slaves were let
down into a place OF temporary safety.

Miss Robbins career has been almost
meteoric in the rapidity with which she has
reached the summit Of her fame. In 1884
she tried her first serious theatrical ex-
pertinent. BY the time seven years had
rolled around she had set the English cap
ftaI agog by her vivid interpretations OF
the Ibsenian characters, and as another
period of seven years passes, she achieves
the highest success In fiction. But Is this
success a permanent and lasting one?
Time alone can tell. 1t would be wonder

has certainly had more than her need OF
success. Judging from the standpoint Of
ordinary humanity. w. F. GATES.

After the confusion had left her lovely

He stopped and looked at her in such pit
iful, hungry-hearted way. 1t was all out
now, this confession of his. He meant to
make it at the risk of everything before his
heart failed him-and he had done 80.
Of course she could do what she pleased
with 1t, and him, too; he had staked and
would win, OF lose, all. Putting his elbow on
the barrier and leaning little toward her,
he waited for her to speak. And her face
was study. Presently she gasped out:
Then you aren't to be married tonight ?"
The interrogation snapped the last thread
holding Leigh Reyburn's great love in re-

The whiteness of his face was terrible to
see; but it all dawned upon her at once.

hands, and two great tears stole down her
cheeks to finish the sentence more eloquent

When the train stepped at Gladbrook, a
very happy couple alighted. And out across

DIFFICULT TEST.
One Man Subjected to Civil Service
Examination Literally Inter-
prets Instructions.

One of the hardest tests given appli-
cants who go before the civil service
commission boards of examiners is in
the form of printed matter which is to
be copied without single change. 1t
is said to be surprising to find how
many intelligent people find it impos-
sible to properly stand this test. They
can frequently correct errors in Ian
guage which they cannot copy ver-
batim, says the Washington Star.
There was lately an applicant who
showed his aptitude for this work. He
was given a printed page and told to
copy it.
Want it just like this?" he asked.
without change" the examiner
replied.
The man labored. The printed mat
ter was on a white sheet that was spot
less, with the exception of fly speck
,n one of it's corners. The sheet the
student had was minus a blemish' in
that particular spot, but when it was
turned in there was a well-imitated
ly speck. There was not flaw in the
work, and he received a rating of 100
on that portion of his examination, and
to-day is one of the best and most trust
ed employees in the service of the COM
mission, where he was detailed shortly
after taking his examination.
