one good rooster should be kept on any

PRESERVING EGGS.
Formula Used by Spectators and
Dealers Engaged in the Business
ON q LargeOScale.

Numerous methods of preserving
eggs are in use. The idea of all of them
is to keep air out of the eggs, as by
such absence of oxygen decay can be
arrested for a considerable length of
time, especially if the eggs are perfect
" fresh at the start and are kept in
cool, dark place. Thestandard meth
cd most used by spectators and deal
ers is to put eggs in lime water. The
process is as follows, this recipe having
been widely sold at five dollars under
pledge of secrecy: Take two gallons of
water, IL pounds of unslaked lime and
four pounds of salt, or in that proper
ton according to the quantity of eggs
to be preserved. Stir several times
daily and then let stand until the liquid
has settled and is perfectly clear. Draw
or carefully dip off the clear liquid,
leaving the sediment at the bottom.
Take for the above amount of liquid
five ounces each of baking soda, cream
of tartar, saltpeter and borax and an
ounce of alum. Pulverize and mix these
and dissolve in one gallon of boiling
water and add to the mixture about 20
gallons of pure lime water. This will
about fill cider barrel. Put the eggs
in carefully so as not to crack any of
the shells, letting the water always
stand an inch above the eggs, which
can be done by placing a barrel head a
little smaller upon them and weighing
it. This amount of liquid will preserve
$50 dozen of eggs. It is not necessary
to wait to get full barrel or smaller
package of eggs, but they can be put
in at any time that they can be OBJ
tanned fresh. The same liquid should
be used only once.-Michigan Trades

sIxTY-DoLLAR BANK BILL.
Issued by Authority of the Continues
tai Congress In 177S-OnEy One
KNOWN In Existence.

Spokane, Wash, has the only $50 pa
per bill in United States currency
known to be in existence. says the
Chronicle, of that city.
It was issued at the first session of
the continental congress in IT'S and
carries with it all the crudity of that age.
It is peculiar looking document, be-
ing a piece of greenish paper of much
the same material as the present pa
per money, except that it is heavier.
In shape it is almost square. with di-
mansions of about 4x31s inches.
On one side of the bill is written the
receipt. which is as follows:
''This bill entities the bearer to re-
ceive sixty Spanish mined dollars for
value received in gold or silver, accord
ing to a resolution passed by congress
at Philadelphia September %, HTS"
On the back of the bill is drawn a
bow with a set arrow. Along the mar
gin the value of the bill is again print
ed, and at one side the words printed,
Hall & Sellers, ITS" At the bottom of
the face is the signature of some one
in authority. The letters have so faded
out that it is almost impossible to fol-
low the characters. Some have mag
ined they could trace the signature of
George Washington upon those lines,
but others could not imagine what au-
thority he had to distribute money at
that date.
The rare bill is the property of Otto
Fiechtl, of the Fiechtl quartette of the
Occur d'Alene. It was presented to
him at the Charleston earthquake in
1886 for the saving of an Irishman's
life. The open hearted act of the big
German toward his hereditary enemy
so overcame the man from Erin's isle
that he gave him the only article of
value he possessed.
Mr.. Fiechtl was DESTROYS of ascer-
tanning the true value of the bill and in
1898 sent it to Washington, where it
was kept for six months while the
treasury department investigated the
issuance of the bill. 1t was adjudged
legal, as the issuance of $50 bills at
that time was known to have been
made, though this is the only one which
has not been returned to the treasury
department. The piece of money has
considerable value outside of the
amount on its face. The Spokane man
now in possession of the relic has re-
fused an offer of 81 600 for it, and says
no price could induce him to part with
IT.

FROM GEN. JOE WHEELER.
He Comments on the Recent Election and
Gives His Views to What Contributed
to the Defeat of Democracy.

Decatur, Ala, Nov. 1O.-In CONVEX
sation here Gen. Joe Wheeler said in
answer to the question what he
thought of the election returns, after
cogitating a moment:
It was only what I more than expect
ed; what I almost knew. I felt it and
knew that Mckinley would be over
whelmingly reelected. I could have told
our people so six months ago, but what
would have been the use? When I re-
ceived the telegram calling me to the
Eighth district I told my family I felt
that 1 had received orders to go to the
rescue of a sinking ship, but that
must obey the call of my party, which
had honored me with ten terms in con-
gress, and must go aboard the old ship
and go down with her. told our party
caucus in 1898 that if one word was in
serted in our platform against the honor
of our country's flag it would result in
the democratic party's utter humiliation
at the polls. I was opposed by Mr.. Bal
ley, of Texas, and he prevailed. There
are two things the American people rev.
erence. First is their God and second is
their flag. A word against either will
bring down their condemnation. There
was never a party defeated for reelection
which had conducted successful war.
Wars are popular in this country and are
growing more popular with the masses,
and any party that opposes a successful
war president will meet their defeat.

FOUND WATERY GRAVES.
Steamer City of MenLIceIIO Wrecked on
the Coast of Nova Scotia and 25
Were Drowned.

Yarmouth, N s., Nov 12.-The
shore of this county for ten miles
east and west is strewn with the
wrecllage of the hull and cargo of
the steamer City of Monticello which
foundered Saturday morning and 25
bodies of victims of the disaster have
been recovered from the sea which is
raging with terrific fury.
1t is a coincidence that the ship
Peter Stewart was wrecked off this
shore a few years ago in the month
of July and a boatload of men came
in where the Monticel1o7s boat was
found. Half of the men were dead
before the boat touched the land and
many believe the same was true of
those in the Monticello's boat.
The fury of the surf is appalling in
this region. Wreckage of all kinds
filters the shore, boxes, barrels, pieces
of ships, boats and parts of the super
structure of the steamers. The to-
tai number of people who were on
board is now placed at SO. The four
survivors are Capt. Smith, a passen-
ger, Third Officer Fleming, Quarter
master Wilson and Stewardess Smith.
The three men saved agree that the
cause of the disaster was briefly:
''The steamer was pounded for hours
by sea and gale, sprang a leak and
filled; became unmanageable, broke
apart and foundered.''

count of the Indian service from
March 4, 1889, up to and including
July 80, 1900, has been 1858, ,217 ac-
cording to the annual report of Com
missioner of Indian Affairs Jones.
The expenditures for the fiscal year
ended last July amounted to $1O,175,-

900 was devoted to the cause of In
dian education. The Indian popu-
lation of the United States is about
267, of which 1920 receive daily
ration. The ration is issued and it's
value varies according to the tribe.
Nearly two fifths of the number re-
ceiving rations belong to the great
Sioux nation.
Annuities distributed last year ag-
gregated $1,5O7, 543, the per capita
ranging from $255 down to so cents.
The report says that large money
payments to the Indians "are de-
moralizing in the extreme. They de-
grade the Indians and corrupt the
whites; they induce pauperism and
scandal and crime; they nullify all
the good effects of years of labor.
INSCRIPTIONS people induce the In
dian to go into debt and then, when
the debt has accumulated and the
IndiGn's credit is gone, pressure is
brought to bear by the creditors upon
the government to pay the Indian so
that he can pay his honest debts. The
state of things growing out of the
surroundings at the agencies is a
scandal and diSoracR -
There were $50 Indian schools of
all kinds conducted by the govern
ment and an increase of 1,412 pupils
in enrolment and LAP in average at

year. About 5000 of the $4,000 eligi-
BILE school children are unprovided
for. Compulsory education of the In
dian children is strongly indorsed
and congress is urged to authorize
the commission to place every one
of school age in some school, the Sc
lection of the school to be left largely
to educated Indians parents.

with the luXuriance of the native trees
millions of them will be set out within
the next few years. The soil of the
Sudan is just right, it is said, for IN

but grapes, peaches and other species
that do well in the north would not
grow there. Melons that require heat
and moisture can be grown there in
profusion. With the quick access of
the region to the Mediterranean, fruit
should land in London before it is num-

CHEAPER THAN A FUNERAL.
He Concluded to Pay the Doctors
Bill as an Economical
Move.

tells the following story, for the truth of
which he Vouches: At a small town in the
state there were two doctors, one of whom
had a great reputation for the cures he eff
fected, and the other was not believed to be
E'much good" The favored doctor found his
services in great request, but as payment
was not always Forthcoming he made rule
that certain class of his patients should
pay in advance.
One winters night he was reused by two
farmers from hamlet ten miles away, the
wife of one of whom was seriously ii. He
told them to go to the other doctor, but
they. refused, saying they would prefer his
services. VERY well, replied the medico,
sin that case my fee is ten dollars, the money
to be paid now"
The men demonstrated, but the doctor was
obdurate, and shut down his window. He
waited, however, to hear what they would
say. ''Well, what wild we do now?" asked
the farmer whose wife was i'll. And the re-
ply that was given must have been as graf
flying as it was amusing to the listening doc
tor 1t was:
81 think you would better give it. The
funeral would cost you more"
