An interesting experiment in egg
storage was recently brought TO a sue
cessful conclusion in Leith. In June
batch of $4,000 Scottish, Irish aud
Danish eggs were sealed up in patent
storage apparatus, and were opened
and examined four months afterward.
only small proportion of the eggs be-
ing found unfit for use. The secret
of the method is to keep the eggs cool,
to allow free access Of air around each
egg-to keep them upright in position,
and TO turn them periodically so that
the yolk Of the egg is constantly en-
bedded In the albumen. These desid-
erata are brought about by placing the
eggs In frames, which BY the action

IS NOT WORRIED.
Attorney Vosburg Satisfied That
Technicalities Will Not Pre-
vail in the Solicitor
ship Fight.

Attorney A. A. Vosburg, the caucus
nominee of the Republicans for city
solicitor, and the likely successor to
Mr.. Mckinley, when asked yesterday in
regard to the Hand opinion presented
the night before to select council, said.
Il do not care to discuss the matter,
but, having, as you may believe, gone
into it carefully, consulting with some
of the best minds at the bar, am sat-
isfed that the spirit and intent of the
act was to create a two-years term,
to extend between certain fixed per-
iods, and that the technical cOnstruc-
tion placed upon the act will not pre-
vail"
The Hand opinion was generally dis
cussed among the lawyers, yesterday,
and was the especial study of a num-
Der of them who will have to deal
directly with it's subject matter.
The chances are that the councils
will go ahead with the election next
Monday night and leave it to the courts
to settle when the one term ends and
the other begins
1t was authoritatively announced yes
terday that Lieutenant David j. Davis,
who was assistant city solicitor under
Mr.. TOrrey, is to succeed to that posi-
tion under Mr.. Vosburg, in case of the
Republicans winning out as they un-
doubtedly will.

Lakewood, the Piney Woods Resort.

Within fifty-nne miles of Greater
New York, on the southern division
of the Central Railroad of New Jer-
sey, is the great pine hill of Ocean
county, New Jersey, a vast sand plain,
entirely devoid of moisture. The air,
always heavily laden with the health
giving and invigorating odor of balsam
pine, is dry and pure. Reputable ply
sicians call it the most healthful re-
gion in the north. That is why Lake
wood has grown from a mere hamlet
into a thriving town, containing a
sumptuous hotel and boarding houses,
miles upon miles of hard made roads,
all beautifully surrounded by a large
driveway cottages owned by wealthy
city people and all that tends to de-
lightful conditions in the way of social
functions and sports, both indoor and
out. Lakewood Is alike a resort of
fashion and for the seeker after
| health. 1t pleases everybody and is
growing so rapidly as to be a sur
| prise to exen those that long ago pre-
| dicted it's brilliant future. Reached
| only by the Central Railroad of New
| Jersey, from stations foot of Liberty
street and South Ferry, foot of White
| hall street. Parlor cars on all trains

The teachers institute was brought
to close yesterday at noon, after o.
most profitable week of instruction.
Rev. Thomas De Gruchy, OF the
Jackson Street Baptist church. offered
prayer and Miss Logan spoke about
the methods and material of reading.
DR.. Corson referred to the work of the
teachers and Prof Houck talked on
educational matters in general. The
report of the committee on resolutions
was read by Prof II. L. Burdick, and
Superintendent Howell thanked the
teachers for the attention and courtesy
shown.
Miss Logan referred to the probable
confusion that will result If the teach
ers take up all the methods suggested
during the week, but cautioned them
to use common sense in following the
recommendation made.
Dr. Corson contrasted the fault find
er with the parent who met the teach
er and commended her for good work
with the pupils and said the instruct
ors needed encouragement in their
work as well as the children. The
principle that should be exercised in
conducting the public schools, he said,
is the same that is followed in private
business and the tendency is to re-
ward merit in the teacher.
DR.. Houck made the closing address
of the institute and said that heart
science rather than mental science
should be exercised by the teachers.
The teacher who loves the pupil is the
| best teacher. he said.
The resolutions committee made an
extended report and expressed sincere
| thanks to Superintendent Howell for
| the courteous and dignified manner il
| which he presided at the institute. Tho
| instructors, the press and board OF
| control also came in for a share OF
the expressions of good will by the
| committee.
| The action of the governor AMI other
officials of the state in considering any
reduction in school appropriations re.
ceived the united disapproval of the
teachers. Truant officer Martin Joyce
was commended for his services rar
dered in the work. The res olution.
endorsed all suitable efforts made Il
secure a better adjustment of salaries
and expressed sympathy in the deatl
Of Miss Nellie Moffatt. Adjournmen
