Different Methods for Keeping Eggs Fresh

On no subject. perhaps. is there a
greater conflict OF opinion than on the
preservation OF eggs. Some urge that
the newly laid egg should be kept
dry and others that II should be kept
moist or even immersed in fluid, or
course, by effectually sealing the pores
OF a shell az with wax or grease the
moment the egg Is laid. no difference
in weight BY the loss OF moisture can
occur, and II Is unlikely that anything

TRAPPING A WITNESS

A case was being tried In a country
court. A horse had been stolen from
field. and the evidence all pointed to
a certain doubtful character OF the
neighborhood as the culprit. Though
his guilt seemed clear. he had found
a lawyer to undertake his defence. At
the trial the defendants counsel ex.
pended his energy in trying to confuse
and brighten the opposing witnesses,
especially a farmer whose Testimony
was particularly damaging. The law.
yer kept up a fire of questions. asking
many foolish ones, and repeating him.
