HOW TO SHIP EGGS.
4 Method of Packing Barrels by
Which the Contents Are Held
Down Securely.

Commission merchants publish d.
rections for shipping eggs every year.
Where farmers combine to ship eggs
they should use long, stiff barrels. Put
two or three inches of long stalk hay
or straw evenly over the bottom of the
barrel. then finely cut straw or wheat
chaff (never use oats chaH or buck
wheat chaff) to a depth of two or three
inches, then layer of eggs laid upon
the sides, evenly embedded in the pack
ing, with the ends toward the barrel,
but fully one inch from the slaves.
Cover this layer of eggs with packing
to the depth of one inch. and rub we'll
in between the eggs with the hand.
Place about three inches of the pack
ing material over the last layer, and
then about the same quantity Of long
straw or hay, as at the bottom. Fill
so that the head must be pressed down
with a lever or by other mechanical
power. This method of packing will
hold the contents SO firmly that they
cannot shift in the barrel. In winter
guard against frost by using more
packing material, leaving the eggs
further removed from the packages.
Never pack in new oats, straw or chaff:
these will sweat and rot the eggs in
very short time. Dry oats make good
packing material, but are too eXpen-
sive. Do not crowd too many eggs in
one packing. For an ordinary flour
barrel from 65 to 20 dozen are quite
sufficient. Put about four and one
half dozen to the layer up to six and
one-half dozen in the two layers then
decrease again at the same rate.
Count carefully and mark the number
on the head of the barrel In warm
weather forward the packages by ex-
press. When only small quantity of
eggs is sent. and at short distances,
they may be packed in mill board par
titions, an egg in each square cell. SO
in a layer. the whole contained in a
handy sized packing case. or with care
full packing in straw or chaff. Baskets
may be used when there is a sufficient
quantity to fill them. but barrel
makes the best package.-Farm and
Eireside.

DESERVED HIS FATE.
Nebraska Farmer Who Sought Wife
Through n Newspaper md
Was Svindlcd.

A Chicago paper not long since re-
ported the sorrows of a Nebraska
farmer, who had been duped by a
confidence woman at an expense of
about $1,000. The farmer answered
an advertisement in Omaha paper
which stated that q young and beau
tiful woman sought hus band with a
good home. Several letters were eX-
changed and at the solicitation of the
would-be bride $500 to be expended
for diamond ring was forwarded by
the farmer. After an epistolary
court ship of three weeks he came to
Chicago to see his prospective wife,
who then cajoled him into purchases
Of about $500 worth of wedding pres
ents. On receipt of these she left
him, promising to return for the we'd
ding ceremony the next day, and he
never saw her again.
1t does not seem credible that a
man of sound mentality, particularly
a hard-headed Nebraska farmer, could
be thus victimized, but love is blind,
and perhaps the lesson will be worth
all it cost him.
Men and women who are worthy
asprants for matrimony are not like
ly to patronize the advertising col
umns of the newspapers. No good,
responsible man who can properly
provide for a wife need go so far
afield to find one. Inquiry among his
friends would surely bring to his
knowledge some candidate whose rec,
ord and reputation would be open to
him. Matrimony is, or should be, a
high and holy estate not to be light
ly entered into with any unknown adj
venturer or adventures who resorts
to the newspapers to exploit his or
her charms or desires. Beware Of
the matrimonial dvertisement!-

Hints on Corn Husking,

Use a horse to pull over your corn
shocks. Take rope about IS feet
long: attach one end to the single
tree. carry the other end around the
shock and fasten to singletree, also.
See that the rope is around the shock
about 20 inches from the ground. A
slight pull of the horse will bring over
the shock. With boy to lead the
horse and handy hitch to the rope,
you can average shock a minute, and
have it in much better shape for husk-
ing than when torn down by hand.
You can in this way pull over days
husking while the dew is on and the
fodder will be damper for huskins
than if left standing till wanted. 1t
will be another advantage to you if
YOU are careful to pull over your
shocks so that you can face the wind
while husking; letting the wind blow
the fodder to you and nos away

MILK AND CREAM.
All Such Found Adulterated to Be
 Confiscated and Destroyed.

Chicago, Aug. 2.-Adulterated milk and cream are to be confiscated in future at the receiving depots of all railroads. The discovery of fOrmalin at the receiving depOts will result in the seizure of the same and the dump ing of their contents into the nearest gutter.
 This was the order issued by Dr F. W. Reilly. acting commissioner of health. The crusade against impure and adulterated milk has shown the officials of the health department that the city dealers are not wholly to blame. Several samples delivered di- rect from the farm have been found to be doctored with formalin. In order to stop the entrance of drugged milk and cream into Chicago Dr Reilly has adopted the plan of testing the milk as it is unloaded from trains and be- fore it is distributed to dealers.
 Samples will be taken of all milk and cream received ill Chicago from pro- ducers and shippers and these will be brought to the city laboratory and tested later. The test for discovering f0r1nalin. however, Is easy and quick and can be done on railroad platforms.

SECRET DIED WITH HIM.

sam Douglass was a negro 65 years old, who has for a quarter of cen tury been a familiar character in this city, died yesterday, and with him a valuable secret. Douglass in slave days worked in a soap factory in North Carolina and learned a recipe to make soap of a high grade It was used for general purposes. He came to Knoxville, opened small factory. where he worked and would allow no one to work with him. He made much money, and when he died it is said that he had left large sum behind but what he did with it is not wnown.
 He was at one time offered $3.OOO for his secret but he would not take 1t. His soap has been analysed set- eral times, but the recipe cannot be followed properly and Douglass had a particular key to the making of the soap which he never divulged. He sup piled every grocery store in Knoxville with his gOods.-Knoxville Journal and Tribune.

EDWARD FOX LEWIS.
succumbed To a Severe Attack of Ty
 nhoid Pneumonia.

phoid Pneumonia.
 Edward Fox Lewis died at his home, 40 Linden street last night at 11:35, after a several weeks sickness from typhoid pneumonia. His death was not q surprise to his friends as it was hourly expected for the past few days, the doctors in attendance having given up all hopes of his recovery. It is about a month since MT Lewis first complained of being i'll. July was his first day in bed. He was suffering from an aggravated form of typhoid fever, complicated with other diseases. He recovered somewhat from this at tack but suffered a relapse and not withstanding that the best medical aid was summoned to his assistance he gradually grew worse until the end came last night.
 Edward Fox Lewis was one of the best known and most widely acquaint- ed men in town He was a prominent member of the Waterbury club and his friends he numbered by the hun dreds. He was popular with them OH account of his winning manner and his death is a loss which they deeply regret. MT Lewis was cut off in the prime of life. Not yet arrived at his 39th year, he had made a name for himself in the business life of Water bury, he had already a power in the industrial and manufacturing inter ests of this city. His star was in the ascendency. Bright and brilliant was the path that laid open to hm, and there is no doubt but that he would have followed this path most success fully if he had lived. as he was man of learning and intellect, a business man of sound and progressive and val uable ideas, as has been shown dur ing his connection with the Farrel Foundry and Machine company, of which his father is the president He was of an inventive frame of mind and he has to his credit several practical pieces of machinery. He was mem Der of the most influential families ot the city
 Edward Fox Lewis the elder son of Edward O. and Harriet M Lewis, was born August 10, 1862. in this city. Af- ter he had completed a course in the Waterbury English and Classical school which was established in 1875, and continued for eight years, MT Lewis became student at the Stew ems Institute in Hoboken. His edu- cation was completed by a course at Yale Law school, from which he grad uated in 1885. Since that time. he has been connected with the business in- tereSts of several manufacturing con- cerns, chiefly the FarreI Foundry and Machine company. The business in- terests of his. father have been under his able management during the past year.
 In 1891. MT Lewis married Hattie Eleanor Olmstead. They had one child, Eleanor, who has now reached her fifth year. Mrs Lewis died in Atlantic City in April, 1900. Besides his par ents and daughter, a brother, Truman s. Lewis and two sisters. Mrs William J. Schlegel and Mrs William E. Full ton, survive him.

She sat primly and silently in the morning. She had cheeks like lilies dipped i'll wine, and her blue eyes had long black laSheS. Her hair was cropped short and crowned with knitted Tam O'Shanter cap, with a long quill thrust through it.. Her dress was black and looked more like a smock than a dress, and a collar of cheap white lace failed to adorn it. She wore little tan shoes. She had neither coat nor gloves. About her whole costume there was a pathetic air of poverty striving to look decent On one sleeve of the black smock a placard was sewn which read: .This child's destination is avenue Hartford, Conn, U. s. A." She had been brought to the station early Sun day morning, having arrived on a steamship from Liverpool. She was to start for Hartford at l o'clock She had had breakfast and someone had given her a little bag of buns, which she was going to save for luncheon She had been travelling for seven days. She had not suffered from the cold although she had no coat-or seasick- ness crossing the ocean. She was 8 years old and the youngest of five. Her name was Kate Collins and she was going to visit her Uncle. All this she told in the lowest and softest of Eng fish voices, and though her eyes droop- ed bashfully, she answered every question with docile sweetness.
 An American baby of three talked shrilly to the little traveller The American baby had patent leather shoes and a white duck frock and jacket and wondrous bonnet of lace and rosebuds. She was told how far the little girl had come and she seem- ed to understand perfectly but she was distressed because the little girl did not have a doll or picture book to play with on the train
 No one in the waiting room could hear the little English girls replies but everyone within radius of twen- ty feet could hear the high pitched queries of the American baby. When the latter finally said goodby and waved her hand genially as she tod dled away with her mother the little traveller merely smiled shyly and wiped her blue eyes with very large and a very rough handkerchief.

MET A DEATH BED.
Left His Daughter of 16 Months
 Meets Her Girl of 20 Years.

Left His Daughter of Is Months
 Meets Her Girl of 20 Years
 Bridgeport, Aug 2.-Without emotion pretty Miss May Dunne Wednesday stood beside grave in St Augustine's s cemetery into which was lowered the body of the father whom she had known only few days, although she is 20 years old. The entire funeral pro- ceeding was purely mechanical on her part, and it was not altogether strange, for all that she had to remember him by was the dead mans last act, the making over to her of the proceeds of q $1 800 policy of insurance on his life.
 Andrew Dunne became widower when May was 16 months old. He was an iron molder by trade and was hard drinker, and when his wife died he assented without protest or approval to her request that the child be given to Mrs Dunne's cousin, Mrs James D. Cunningham. now resident of Danbury. From the day of Mrs Dunne's funeral until few days ago father and daughter never met. The father continued his. drinking habits. never sending as much as a cent, a Christmas gift or birthday token to the custodians of his daughter. A month ago he was called upon to con- template the penalty of his life of dis sipation. when physicians told him that he had a hopeless case of con- sumption. He decided that he had worked all that he ought to, and ob- tained from the superintendent of poor q pass entitling him to admission to the almshouse. There he went to die. with nothing to represent his years of toll excepting a life insurance policy. the proceeds payable to his estate, in which in an evening of conviviality with an insurance agent. he had been prevailed upon to invest. Last week woman who knew Dunne's history and that of his daughter heard of the insurance, and with her came to Bridgeport and went to the almshouse with the avowed purpose of obtaining an assignment of the money in Mays favor.
 The meeting between father and daughter was as free from sentiment as their previous lives had been. They mechanically shook hands, but neither said word. On the day before he died Dunne yielded to the entreaties of acquaintances to make the girl the beneficiary of his life insurance. He hesitated at first, saying that he had asked the foreman of the foundry in which he worked to look after his funeral and to take what there was but at last consented, exclaiming, Damned if don't do it!' and then, with hand that was too near death to write out his name made the mark which effect ed the transfer.
