AS TO UTILIZING BAD EGGS.
Available for Tanning So Long AS They
Are Not Black,

Waste eggs-that is, heated or spot
ted eggs-unless they are absolutely
black, are utilized for the preparation
of tanning solution known as sailed
egg yolk. This is used largely by tan
ners of America and Europe in prepar-
| ing fine kid skins. The eggs are first
| broken in churn, in which they are
rapidly revolved for about twenty min
utes. The albumen rises to the top in
the form of foam and is skinned off,
leaving the yolks. Next 80 per cent
by weight of salt and 1 per cent of
powdered boracic acid is added, ana
the churning continued, the skimming
being again repeated. This compound
is then stored in barrels. Crystallized
eggs are made from the broken eggs
and surplus stock, says the Egg Re
porter. These are largely used on
| shipboard, but increasingly of late by
bakers, as well. Good eggs are broken
and churned, thoroughly mixing
whites and yolks. The liquid is then
dropped on slowly revolving stone cyl
inders, through which arms of the
same material extend. Over these
cylinders is passed q strong current of
WdTIl, uTy ait, eNdpOTdlllB lHe luoIS-
ture from the eggs. After being thus
dried the egg is scraped off by means
of stone scraper. The resulting pow
der is known as crystallized eggs.
When Theoretically sealed they may be
kept indefinitely. For use they are
merely moistened with water and
beaten up to the natural consistency of
their original state.

CHANGE OLD NAMES.
Many Foreigner. Begin Life Here Undss
New Aliases.

The clerk of the city court made
public the names of seventy persons
who changed their names in legal form
in the year 1900, says the New York
Evening Post. Most of the original
names are of palpably foreign extrac-
ton. AS a rule all reasonable requests
for change of name are granted. They
are then filed away, the petition CIV
ing the avowed reasons for change and
the judgment passed upon it by the
court. A glance at the records and
the various name changes gives rise
to considerable speculation as to the
real cause of dissatisfaction. Why, one
wonders, should name of such aristo-
cratic twang as Waldemar Ruthyar be
cast aside in prefence to the hackneyed
title of Henry Smith? On the next
page of the records is the reverse of
the question of high-sounding names,
where one finds the somewhat plebeian
cognomen Of Gumbinsky changed to
Won Tilzer. What evidence of nation
ality remains in the name OF Jay, IN
less it is discovered to be n corruption
of Jacobowsky? There scarcely could
be any greater effacement of family
name than to substitute the noncom-
initial Blank for Polanger. Sebastian
Bibo is los: entirely in Frank Walter
and RuzicEs. becomes the American
lied Rose. Many changes result from
family quaTrels, when another family
name is t4ken in place of the legiti-
| mate one. Often the wills of eccentric
relatives demand a change in the name
of the beneficiary, without which no
legacy can be obtained. Occasionally
debt or imprisonment has brought the
name of some person into such disre-
pute that a new name is sought for
which a new reputation may be built.
In the case of foreigners who have be-
come American citizens the stiff CON
sonants of Russia. Bohemia and Po-
land prove too much for our Anglicized
tongues and change is really neces-
sary. Under this reason come such
changes, no doubt, as Chmelicek to
Luhan, Neugroschel TO Rochelle. Yu-
zukjian to Yuzuk. and Rochmovitz to
Rockmore. By far the larger part of
the list of changed names belonging
to those ending in ski or sky. The ter
minal here is generally dropped. leav-
ing the parent stem. The dropping of
this ending results often in names that
bear not the slightest trace of the ma
tionality of the changers. Kempinski
becomes plain Kempin; Jampolsky is
reduced to the Dickenslike name of
Jampole.

Two Points of View.
BY MARY MARSHALL p

Downright 1901: by Daily Story Pub. Coz
A mocking bird, drunk with sun
shine and the scent of apple blossoms
was flying from tree to tree and carol
ing ecstatically-an animated spring
song gone mad.
From the door of the little brown
house at the head of the orchard
emerged a wee, rosy maiden, herself
as dainty and sweet as an apple bios
som. Her hair was primly brushed
back and tightly plated, and her ging-
ham dress was miracle of crisp
starchiness.
She ran down the steps, across the
yard, and peered through the lilac
hedge. A lanky, slovenly boy of four
teen was stretched upon the grass,
deep in a book.
Rob" she said. in a stage whis-
per, come here
What do you want?" drawled the
boy, without moving
Come here! I've something to tell
you"
He arose slowly, shaking back his
unkempt hair, shutting his unlaced
