OF the different methods of keeping
eggs tested at the Rhode Island station
the old way of using slaked lime and
and has also the advantage Of being
inexpensive. 1t is also not difficult to
practice. For period of few weeks
only smearing the eggs with vaseline
may prove an effective method Of pres
ervation. In the place of vaseline al
most any clean, greasy substance may
be used. For a period of few months
only packing in dry table salt is
worthy of recommendation. OF all the
substances experimental with the wa
ter glass solution proved most worthy
Of commentator. The water glass
solution could be reduced to per cent
and still retain its preserving quality.
Water glass can be obtained of drug
gists at from 40 to GO cents per gallon.
1t is easily manipulated, and the solu-
ton may be repeatedly used. The eggs
should be completely immersed in the
solution, and if any eggs float an inner
cover which will sink them below the
surface Of the liquid should be used.
In several tests where the eggs were
placed in stone jars inverted saucers
were used for this purpose. The ex-
pense for the water glass at 60 cents
per gallon would amount to about two
thirds of cent per dozen eggs. This
does not include the expense Of the
jar or other receptacle, which may be

HOMEMADE DRESSES.
FULL DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING A

How to Cut and Fit a Dressy Affair
That May He Worn In the House

ciation.l
The princess shape for home gowns,
with some slight notifications from
the old styles, is to be a favorite for
the coming summer, and 1t will be
adopted for many of the diaphanous as
well as rich materials. For the lighter
goods 1t is to be fairly smothered with
lace and chiffon in the form of ruff
fles, the most Of them being cut in the
new and rather difficult shaped
flounce." With the darts taken in in
and is more dressy.
The princess dress is cut in six
pieces, not counting the sleeves or
founces, insets or collars. These six
pieces are the foundation and reach
from the neck to the feet in unbroken
lines. If one can obtain a pattern of
such a shape, it saves work, but If not
may be given in few words. Take a
pattern of any well fitting waist where
there is q seam down the center Of the
back and by using the diagram as
guide cut the waist portion and then
extend the line below the waist as long
as the skirt is desired, always allow
ing two inches longer than is necessa-
ry for take up and possible inequali-
ties.
The center of the waist at the back
should be as narrow as the figure
will permit Of and is to be slanted out
until at the bottom each part Of the
back is thirty inches wide. The middle
of the back Is three inches longer than
the sides. and the front is sloped of to
meet. The two side pieces are to be

DISINEECTlNG A SHIP.
Moist Heat, n Thorough Germicida1
Agent, Is Used.

~
Agent, Is Used.
When the vessel has tied I'D to the
wharf in New Orleans, the first step Is
the removal Of the bedding, clothing
and cushions and other cloth fabrics to
the quarantine shed. Here they are
hung on framework consisting of a
series Of racks suspended from long
car running OH track and so arranged
that when the racks are filled the
whole thing may be run inside one Of
the three great disinfecting cylinders
with which the station is equipped.
These cylinders are enormous steel
boilers fifty feet in length by eight feet
in diameter and fitted inside with con-
tinuous coils of steam pipe. The cylin-
ders are covered with asbestus and
swathed in felt, and when the cylinder
caps are on they are alright When
the clothing has been placed inside and
the cylinders closed, dry heat Is forced
through the pipes at a temperature of
$50 degrees, and this is followed by
moist heat raised to a temperature Of
800 degrees. The pressure of from six
to eight pounds put upon this steam
heat is sufficient to force it through
heavy mattresses or bundles of cloth
ing.
After a period which varies from
thirty minutes to an hour the cylinders
are opened, the racks are run out, and
the rapid evaporation which follows
causes the clothing to dry almost i'm
mediately. The clothing is unframed
by this process, and the moist heat Is a
thorough germicidal agent. 1t is an in
teresting fact that if a freshly launder-
ed linen shirt or collar is put into the
cylinder it will emerge thoroughly
moist and apparently in need of anoth-
err starching. The evaporation is so rap
i'd, however, that 1t is Immediately re-
stored to its original condition, not
even the gloss being removed.-Leslie's
Monthly.

WITH HALF BELT. If two or more
flounces are to be added it should not
be quite so wide; otherwise the floun-
feet
1t will be noticed that in the dia-
gram there is slash cut in the top
of the waist reaching down to within
three inches Of the front dart and on
the same line with it. This is to give
more emphasis to the princess form
and adds materially to its beauty.
At the sides under the arms are curves
which give the fit over the hips and
throw the fullness toward the back.
This diagram gives the foundation Of
the princess shape, and where no reg
ular pattern Is available 1t is we'll to
cut one out of the lining and try it to
the figure after basting to make sure
1t is right. Then the outside is to
be laid fiat and the lining basted to it
and cut 1t is very essential that the
outside and lining should be exactly
alike, Otherwi-e it may draw, and that
would spoil the effect
If a train is desired, all that is nee
essary is for the cutter to extend the
lines in the back of each piece as
many inches as she wishes the skirt to
be longer than the pattern. The slope
should be gradual, but decided, and
the front parts Of each piece should be
somewhat longer, all except the mid
die of the front. The slope on the
front breadths should not be over an
inch and half, to preserve the outline.
With the diagram is shown the
proper kind Of flOunce to use on these
skirts. 1t is cut on a square of the
cloth. the front part being marked with
a cross and the back with circle.
This is but half Of the fiounce and the
upper edge must be a trifle larger than
the exact width of the skirt so that II
can be held easily, and while not at all
gathered, 1t should be sprung. The bot.
tom Of the ruffie can be trimmed in any
way the wearer wishes, the kind and
quality Of the material having some
thing to do with the choice.
When the outside and lining are
basted sew the garment, beginning at
the top Of all seams. The front is left
open, so that 1t is easy to don the dress,

If a tree is girdled by mice, it usual
ly dies. If, however, as soon as the
injury is noticed, the wound is cleaned
and covered with grating wax and
wrapped with cloth so that the air is
excluded and the wood prevented from
drying out, the sap which rises
through the soft wood will continue to
do so, and, returning through the in
ner bark, growth will be made all
and if the latter is not too large there
is chance Of its healing over. If,
however. the wood becomes dry before
the bandage is put on, it will almost
certainly die. When the wax and band
age are applied, the tree should be
headed back considerably to lessen the
amount of Transportation of moisture,
as there will not be as much sap rise
as if the tree were uninjured. Girdled
trees are sometimes saved by connect
ing the upper and lower edges of the
girdle with sciOnS, which are inserted
all around the trunk. Mice may be de-
stroyed in the orchard by using mix
ture of one part by weight of arsenic
with three parts of cornmeal. To use
this safely nail two pieces of board
