No More Eggs Wasted.

cracked, or dirty-even rotten are util-
lied. This is how they do it:
All of the small, dirty and cracked
eggs that are fresh and of good quail
ity are canned. They are put up the
same as canned meats. The yolks and
whites of the eggs go into separate
cans, and this product is a great con
venience in hot climates. When "a
baker has use for the whites of eggs
he can buy just what he needs put
up in these cans, which saves him the
loss resulting from buying eggs as they
are ordinarily sold. The quality of
this canned product is fine.
Then the rotten and cloudy eggs are
put up in cans and sold to tanners and
used In putting the gloss ON fine leath-
er. The riots" serve the purpose of
the tanners and can be bought cheaper.
The shells are used in making fertil-

small. When it is remembered that

economy here practiced becomes ap-

The Treatment of Nervous Children.

In an article ON might Terrors" DR..
Leonard Guthrie, of London, strongly
condemns the common disregard of
the agony of fear experienced by many
children when left alone to fall asleep
in a dark room, and speaks plainly
of the senselessness and cruelty of ig-
noring the mental torture which dark
ness inficts ON an imaginative child.
He tells of a little child who, when
assured that she need not be afraid
of the dark, because God would take
care of her." replied. as he puts 1t.
with innocent profanity, Il wish you'd
take God away and leave the candle"
DR.. Guthrie thinks the irritating eff
fects of injudicious treatment at home
are quite as important as the effects
of school life on nervous children. and
cites the case of an emotional child
whose life was made miserable by the
tyranny of an ignorant and vulgar
nurse, although the parents regarded
the woman as a perfect treasure.

Plant So as to Save Fertility.

In speaking at a New Jersey Inst.
tute a gentleman said that If a farmer
cultivated corn many times during
he season to liberate plant food, and
let the land lie bare through the fall
and winter, the plant food Eade avail
able by tillage would leach down and
get away. Land left bare in summer
FAST loses iry humus, or decayed veg
etable mat.gr; it is burned out. Now,
in a nutshell, this is the idea: Grow
a heavy clover sod regularly once in
three or four years. Plow under the
clover or feed it out on cement floors,
SO as to save all manure, and return
this to the land. Then follow with
plenty of proper tillage to liberate
plant food that with ordinary manage
ment you would never get. In this
way you can increase the fertility of
the soil greatly.

Washington, d. C. (Special).-An-
other peace proposal from Ii Hung
Chang, China's Plenipotentiary to ar
range an armistice with the Powers,
was delivered to the State Depart
ment by Mr.. WI Ting-fang, the Chi
nese Minister in Washington. 1t is
based on the bold assertion that the
conditions laid down by the President
and the Secretary of State as prelim-
inaries to peace had been complied
with. One of these conditions was
that order should be restored through
out the Chinese Empire, and LIS as
sertion was strongly at variance with
official information which came on the
same day that fighting was going on
in Pekin between Chinese troops and
the allies. The great Chinese diplo-
matist has, therefore, invited another
rejection Of his overtures. Unless
there is a.radical change in the situa-
ton he will be informed that this Gov
eminent will refuse to e~nterta2p his
proposals.
When the answer will be s has
not been determined, according to the
guarded statement of officials. One

ment will take its own time in re-
| spending. II this and other state
| ments be true. the indications are that

a detailed report of conditions at Pc
kin has been received from Minister
Conger or General Chaffee.
Earl Ii suggests in his communion
ton that Minister Conger, having
been released from his recent re-
straint, would be acceptable to the
Imperial Government as the represen-
tative Of the United States in a confer
n C between China and the Powers
to effect an amicable settlement Of the
existing difficulties, but expresses con-
fdence that any other person familiar
with the situation Aamed by this Gov
eminent would be acceptable to China
and indicates a desire to have the
American representative near at hand
so that the negotiations may begin
soon. He assumes that the Powers
will want to hold the peace confer
ence in Pekin or Tien-Tsin, and urges
that steps in that direction be taken.
1t is understood that while the APP
peal has been addressed to the cher
Powers, Earl Ii wants the United
States to take the initiative in bringing
about the proposed peace conference,
a natural sequence of the lead taken
by this Government in having down
the conditions with which. China must
comply before any settlement can be
reached.
