ECONOMY IN EGGS.
Only the Necessary part should he
Used for Any Special
PurpoAe.

At this season of the year. when eggs
are beginning to be scarce, it is well to
remember that exactly the same result
can be obtained by dividing egg and
using the yolk on.y in custards and
desserts and salad dressings demand
ing thickening of eggs. The whites
of the eggs are then left for sweet
cakes, meringues and other dishes
where the white of the egg is the es-
sential part needed, says the New York
Tribune.
1t should be remembered that the
yolk of the egg gives rich, delicate con-
sistency to a baked or boiled custard,
and one made with it alone is not so LA
BILE to curdle as one made with the
white also, Pumpkin pies, like cocoa
nut and lemon pies, are just as nice
without the whites of the eggs. In
the case of cocoanut and lemon pie the
whites should be used for meringue.
In hot breakfast cakes or mullins
eggs are an element that often tougher
the bread without adding any desirable
quality. Do not use more than two
'SSS as d lult ~ q p'Hl 'l hIllh III
wheaton cakes. One is generally
enough. The quantity of eggs to be
used in corn meal cake varies with the
taste, as this meal is so granular there
is no danger of making tough cake
from it. \ sweet cake made of the
whites of eggs can be as easily rendered
tough and unfit for food by too liberal
use of eggs as cake can be made heavy
and greasy by too liberal use of but
ter Where eggs are used in a cake
like sponge cake, which has no butter
in it to render it tender, the juice of a
lemon should be added. The yolks of
eggs do not make a nice icing, impart-
ing an eggy taste very disagreeable to
most people. The whites of eggs should
alone be used.

Forgiyinr Fido

The eccentric John Randolph was
very fond of dogs, and would pardon
to one of them transgression that
he would not have overlooked in a
man. Randolph was fonder of his
books than of anything else save his
dogs, and it was a very unlucky thing
for human creature to damage one
of the precious volumes. One day,
however, an especially promising pup
got into the library, and, pup fash
ion, destroyed choice copy of Vir-
gill Randolph was very indignant
until he learned that it was a dog
and nota person who was guilty. Then
he devoted half day to gathering up
the fragments of the classic, after
which he tied them up in neat bun
die, which he labeled "Remains of
Virgil, destroyed by Fido when he
was a pup."-Youth's Companion.

Other Germans are catering to the

it cost a good deal of money to make

A frequent cause of the oiliness on
the outside of lamps is that the wick
is kept too high when unlighted. 1t
should be remembered that the wick
draws the oil to the surface, and if it
projects too far above the burner, it
will soon accumulate oil there, which
will find its way slowly over the out
side.
A natural effect of the free delivery
system is the improvement of high
ways throughout the country. In To-
eating free delivery routes the condi-
ton of the roads is always an impor-
tant consideration, and many petitions
have been denied on the ground that
the highways were not fit for travel
during the muddy months of the year
\ notable feat of engineering is
the driving of the Great Northern rail
way tunnel through 2h miles of solid
granite in the Cascade range. Boring
was started at each end toward the
center, and so accurate were the en-
gineers' calculations that at the meet
ing point the difference of alignment
was scarcely one inch. This cutting
through refractory material was ac-
complished in 45 months by 500 men.

MANY TRAMPS IN SIBERIA.
Most of the JOurneying Fraternity
Belong to the Criminal
Classes.

From 1907 until 1899 Siberia received
from European Russia S64,549 trans
ported persons, including their fami-
lies. That is nearly the sixth part
of the actual population of Siberia
If we confine ourselves to the last dozen
years, says the New York Independent,
we shall see that Siberia has received
in that space of time 100,5S2 trans
ported persons, of whom 95,S76 were
men and 4,706 were women Of the
families of transported persons there
were 155 husbands, 1856 wives and
10000 children. Siberia has thus re-
ceived in the course of 12 years 159.-
191 individuals, one-thirty-siXth of the
total population. If one takes into CON
sideration the number of the trans
ported only without their families we
shall see that during that period ST.
IBERIA has received for each 81 inhab-
ltants criminal or man recognized
as more or less dangerous in the coun-
try of his origin. These figures per
nit us to draw certain important con-
clusions. First, transportation does
not contribute to the colonization of a
country, owing to the great prepon-
derance of unmarried persons; second,
the number of vicious elements intro
duced into the country passes all rea-
sonable proportion. OF thenumber of
transported males only 1856 were
married; the other 1892, or 81 1-3 per
cent, were unmarried.
These conclusions are COMPLETELY
confirmed by detailed study of the
conditions of transported persons.
The number of transported persons re-
siding in Siberia in 1898 was 29S.574,
or nearly 100000 individuals of both
sexes. Half of these were criminals
condemned to transportation under the
criminal code, the other half under
administrative authority. But they
can hardly be distinguished one from
the other. The opprobrium of their
situation and the misery of their ex-
lstence have reduced them to an alb
solutely uniform mass. The third of
this mass-100,000 men-escape all con-
troll. The place of their residence is
unknown to the police. They steal on
the highways and in villages, they beg
-
and eXtort money in every way pos
sible. In the summer they bivouac un-
der the stars and conceal themselves in
the forests of Siberia; in the winter
they move toward the cities and use
every method to secure a lodgment in
the local prisons. The second 1O0. 1000
men are equally in a state of vagabon-
dage, but they change their residence
to find work. If they have not lost the
habit of work, and if they preserve
some spirit of honesty, they may sue
ceed in establishing themselves again:
II not, they soon augment the ranks
or criminal vagabonds. OF the 100 600
who are left about 10000 are cultiyators
OF the earth and furnish an element
OF order. 1t is remarkable that this
NUMBER corresponds TO the number of
The transported married persons. The
other 10000 are workmen. So long as
they are young and in good health thew
gain their daily bread, but when in
trinity comes many of them take TO
begging and often terminate their ex-
1stence in prison, which they have
avoided until that time.

A Homeless Cnse.

Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady tells a
story of little boy he knew on the
frontier, who belonged to a family
who had trained him to believe in the
deep water form of baptism, and was
experimenting with the household cat
and bucket of water. The animal
evidently did not believe in INNER
sion, for she resisted, bit and
scratched, until finally the little boy,
with his hands covered with scratch
es and with tears in his eyes, gave up
the effort to effect the regeneration
of the cat. "Dog gone you'll" he
cried, "go and be an Episcopal cat
if you want to!"-N. Y. Tribune.

Forty-MiIe Ride for Penny

The Russian government has de-
cided upon the introduction of specially
cheap fares upon the Trans-Siberian
railway in order to encourage emigra-
tion to the country, A ticket from
Russia to Tobolsk only costs II little
over one dollar, and from Tobolsk to
any station whatever in Siberia the
fare is only nine shillings. Thus the
tripper can cover about 5000 miles for
between three and four dollars.
