William Il. KEENAN, IN Columbia Herald.
/ was born on a farm near Columbia
and | have a vivid recollection Of the
first time / ever laid eyes on Columbia.
/ visited some Of my kin folks
living there, and with them / took In
the town, which was quite a sight
to me, as II was the first town | ever
saw. The only thing | remember
having seen on that visit which i'm
pressed me most, was the hatters shop,
the first and only n / ever saw. Of
Henry AshlOck's, where he made hats
from the raw material, and sold them
TO his customers. His shop was located
on Broadway, on the corner west Of
and across the street from where Jake
Strawn's store was, when / was last in
Columbia. At the time Of my first
visit Broadway and the street running
south from the Court House inter
secting Broadway we're graded and
macadamized; at the junction Of these
streets set a large pair Of scales which,
/ think, remained there up 10 within
your recollection. The old University
building, with its graceful Corinthian
columns was standing In all Of its
grandeur % the beautiful eminence on
which it stood before its destruction:
the sight Of which, / doubt not, awak-
ened in the hearts Of many youths Of
Boone county a desire for a higher edu-
cation. The first Court H0use.a plain,
one-stOry brick structure, with brick
floor, stood a short distance west OF
present Court House, on the county
square which, at general elections,
was used as a voting place. Elections
then continued three days, and we're
held in the month u August when
Hatermelons, ginger bread and new
cider were in most abundance and
which were yended by negro slaves
from tables scattered over the vacant
lots surrounding the Court House.
The voter handed b n Of the judges
Of election who sat In or near a win
dow, and read aloud the names Of the
candidates whomt the elector indicated
on his ticket be desired 10 vote for.
which was instantly recorded by the
clerks Of the election in the presence
Of the voter. After the call Of the
vote was made By the Judge. De threw
away the ballot as waste paper J

How to Keep Eggs.

Eggs are best when stored in a cool,
but not very cold place-about 30 TOGO
degrees is beSt-and with the large
end down. We gave this advice as far
back as 1872, after considerable test
ing of it to that time; all our subse-
auent experience has c~OrrObOrated its
soundness, says a writerin the London
Book Of Poultry. There is a distinct
percentage Of better result every way
when eggs are stored in this position,
IL the other circumstances are equal.
The air chamber is less expanded when
so stored, and even for eating after
some weeks there is a perceptible diff
ference In the freshness Of eggs thus
kept. Eggs may be stored in this po-
sition either in bran or in a board
pierced with holes; and IL the board,
OF the bran case be covered over by a
cover Of blanket or sacking made to
ft, and a cool aud quiet place is avail
able, the very best will be done for
the eggs. The covering over Is not to
keep them warm, hut to prevent
draught, which increases evaporation
Of the fluid contents and enlarges the
air chamber. This process we want to
retard as much as possible. "
1t is often desired to preserve summer
eggs for winter use, and there are sew
eral methods Of doing 50. Some house
keepers smear them all with butter,
and in France they similarly use olive
oil in which a little beeswax is dis
solved OF melted. The latter is the
! better of the two, butter becoming
rancid. Others bed the eggs in dry
salt, packed tightly round and over
them; kept this way they do fairly,
even for boiling, up to six or eight
months. Bedded in bran alone they
will keep well for several months,
draught and evaporation being pre-
vented.
Another plan is to pack them in
saturated saltbrine;this way they keep
quite good a long while, but become
rather hard and the white perceptibly
saltish. For eggs to be kept any
length Of time, however, there is no
doubt that the best preservative me-
dium is asolotion compounded Of lime,
salt and cream Of tartar. Different
people use slightly different proper
tions; a very good recipe is as follows:
Carefully slake and then pour the rest
of two gallons Of water lother quanti-
ties being in proportion) upon one
pound and a half OF quicklime; then
add ten ounces Of salt and two ounces
Of cream Of tartar. Stir at intervals
and leave to temper together for a few
days:then pour of the clear liquor, and
imbed the eggs in it as closely as pos
sible, keeping always well covered
with liquid. A jar Of spare liquid
should always be ready to ill up as re-
quired. Whatever process be used, 1t
is important TO store or treat the eggs
the same day as laid, if they are fertile
eggs. But there is no doubt at all,
and IL has been proved by many ex-
periments, that sterile eggs, laid by
hens without a mate, keep cOnsidera-
bly, better than fertile ones.

HOW TO GAIN FLESH

Persons have been known to
gain a pound a day by taking
an ounce of SCOTS emulsion.
1t is strange, but it often
happens.
Somehow the ounce pro
duces the pound it seems to
start the digestive machinery
going properly, so that the
patient is able to digest and
absorb his ordinaryfood, which
he could not do before, and
that is the way the gain is made
A certain amount Of flesh IS
necessary for health; if you
have not got it you can get 1t
by taking SCOTS Emulsion.
You will find it just as use
full in summer as in winter, and
if YOU are thriving upon it don't
stop because the weather is
warm.

woman. Vote in Kansas Not in Danger

Last week the newspapers were send
ing broadcast the startling announce
ment that the women Of Kansas were
in danger OF losing the municipal suf-
frage which they have enjoyed for the
past Il ears. Representative B. H..
Butler, who fathered the bill gave as
his reason for 50 doing that the wo-
man vote was the most corrupt infu-
ence in municipal politics. He said:
i don't mean that the women are
corrupt, but the munipilator is cor
rupt and the vote is easily m%anipula-
ted" therefore, according to his
masculine logic the women must be
disfranchiSed, but the corrupt male
manipulation could be left in full sway.
1t win be remembered that not long
ago John Charles Thompson, Of
Wyoming, made a similar statement
10 the effect that the woman vote was
easy 70 manipulate, but when he
came to Try to manipulate it he didn't
seem TO succeed as he had expected
and the result was that be was re-
turned to the bosom Of his family
having run 100 votes behind his ticket.
While Mr.. Butler may not be in
danger Of sharing the same fate as
Mr.. Thompson, inasmuch as the wo-
men have no vote for members Of the
Legislature in Kansas, il is very evil
dent that the men Of Kansas are not
in sympathy with him, as his bin was
promptly killed by the judiciary com
mittee, and thus the opposers Of
woman suffrage have been deprived Of
valuable aid in retarding the progress
Of woman. ELsoRA NJ. BABCocK.
