To kecp eggs FOR higher prices place
them on racks in cool place and turn
them twice n week. An important
point Is to have no males with the
hens. as they will lay without the
presence of males. An egg which
contains no germ will keep three times
as long as viii one that is fertile.
For this reason all who desire 10 keep
eggs must select those layed by their

ARCTIC EXPEDITION.

EVELYN B. Baldwin. who will do his utmost,
backed by the purse of William Ziegler to deco
rate the North Pole with the Stars and Stripes
will have no difficulty in procuring companions
in his perilous enterprise. From all over the
world letters are reaching him by every mail,
written by people who want to share In the
glory of the undertaking. and who, in order to
do So are willing to give their services without
compensation. Mr.. Baldwin will not divuIge
their names, but he says they include young
millonaires with a fondness for adventure, coll
lege professors thirsting for new discoveries,
hardy and experienced explorers who have al
ready their spurs with other Arctic expedi-
tions, spOrtsmen, artists. hunters and even
women. 1t is no eXaggeratiOn to say that scores
of women have offered their services as cooks.
stewardesses. nurses and even stenographers
and typewriters, without salary. anxious are
they to have share in winning for Americans
the honor of first reaching the North Pole.
For, curious it may seem. in the light of
all the other failures. some of them tragic in
the extreme. all these people appear to feel per-
fectly certain that Mr.. Baldwin will succeed
where many fell short. and certainly Mr.
Baldwin starts with powerful factor in his
favor which former expeditions lacked and that
is plenitude of funds. Mr.. Ziegler has told
him to spare no expense. to purchase all that
he can possibly require, and to adopt any line
of procedure which seems good to him. no matter
how costly. BE first at the North Pole" says
Mr.. Ziegler, "and I'll foot the bill"
NO LACK OF FUNDS.
Surely" said Mr. Baldwin to a Tribune re-
porter, never explorer found such prince of a
hacker before. There few men like William
Ziegler. Patriotism is at the bottom Of this
magnificent generosity Of his. He wants the
glory of discovering the North Pole to fall to
America. and. If flesh and blood and determine
tion and skill and experience and science and
ships and men and money can accomplish it. I
will crafty his ambition"
Mr.. Baldwin has no wife children, and feels
that he has a perfect right TO risk his life in
the cause of science. but he will be exceedingly
careful in the choice of his companions because
his stay in the Arctic regions may be prolonged
into years. He has no intention of abandoning
the quest If the first quick dash into the polar
seas does not result favOraby He will then
lay slow siege to the Businesses Of the North
and see what patience and perseverance can
accomplish. Therefore. will be allowed
to Join the Baldwin-Ziegler polar expedition who

or bawbles or any other trife
Mr. Baldwin is reticent about his plans He
does not want any one else to adopt them. They
are definite and clear cut. and are the result of
his previous expeditions in the Arctic zone. Bal
looms may form part Of his equipment though
he will not say So He showed The Tribune re-
porter picture OF arship which some en-
thusiastic inventor had offered to sell to him.
