HOW TO PRESERVE EGGS.
Keeping Them In Water Glass Is an
Effective Method for the Aver
age HOusekeeper.

Now and then housekeeper wants TO
know Of some reliable way to preserve
eggs in time of summer plenty for the
midwinter season of scarcity, when eggs
are so much in demand for holiday
dainties Most methods are somewhat
uncertain and some really affect the
taste of the eggs even if it keeps" them
in a general sense of the word.
Those who are studying the subject of
egg preservation otherwise than by cold
storage and in large quantities agree that
nothing is better than water glass. This
is a solution of silicate of soda which has
a consistency something like oil. If but
a few pounds are needed the price is
about rs cents pound. But as it is to
be diluted nine times it's bulk with cold
water, and one pound will cover about
$50 eggs, the cost is not so great The
eggs must be perfectly fresh, not store
eggs, then stored in cool, dark place,
and experience proves that wood az
earthenware is better than metal be.
cause after time water glass will cor
rode metal.
The theory of preserving eggs in any
solution is to keep the contents of the egg
from eyaporating through the porods
shell or to prevent air from entering
through the shell to the contents. Any
thing which completely closes the pores
of the shell if it be harmless itself is a
good preservative. Some Of the sub
stances used are too expensive even II
efficient; water glass is both effective
and inexpensive.

of mutton This was called out by a
flock Of very fine sheep which We had
passed on our way, and was a hint that
the colonel would not be shocked if we
carried some of those sheep into camp.
The boys acted on the hint and several
of them were loaded down with fresh
mutton when they reached the picket
lines. Here one Of them, with sheep
on his shoulder, came face to face with
Gen. Rosecrans. The general was as
much surprised as the sneep bearer, and
both were in doubt, evidently, as to the
course to be pursued under such unusual
circumstances.
1.-The general asked: TO what regi-
ment do you belong?' Promptly, our
Eleventh Ohio man answered: The
Second Kentucky The general smiled
at this, because he had learned that it
was rule among men Of the other regi-
ments of his division to charge all forag-

Then he asked: What is your name?'
Again our man named Jones answered
promptly: Wolf Rosecrans, natural

Episode.

MY regiment" said an old Eleventh
Ohio man, relates the Chicago Tribune,
served in three or four different armies,
and we had experience among eastern
as we'll as western men. We went first
to West Virginia, serving under Rose
Grams, Cox and Crook, then to the army
Of the Potomac, and later to the army
of the Cumberland. So far as anecdotes
are concerned we have large stock to
draw from, if the doors of memory are
opened by the proper sort of reminder,
and this came to me with those stories
of the Fifth Wisconsin fellows.
81 have in mind now Rosecrans and
Turchin, differing as widely as two men
could differ, but each with an individ-
uality attractive to men in the ranks.
While we were on Sewell mountain,
West Virginia, there was less ceremony
than usual about camp, and officers and
men were careless in the matter OF
dress. One day, Rosecrans, wearing a
citizens overcoat and a SLOUGH hat, was
walking about on one of those little
tours of personal inspection he was so
fond of making when he was halted by
sentry watching pile of oats and
hay.
"Rosecrans waved him aside with an
impatient gesture, stating who he was.
But the sentry brought his musket to
charge and said excitedly: Stand back,
old fellow. You can't fool me. You
are one of them darned teamsters sneak
ing around here for chance to steal
feed of oats. Stand back or will punch
you Rosecrans smiled grimly and,
signaling to a staff officer to approach,
said: Introduce me to this man. He
takes me for teamster and thief and

sentry began to apologize, but Rose

difficult shot. l am a sort of big bug

beggar So just listen while tell you
about it:

about six miles off, SO I got about
40 heaters together and took up our
position near an open space, while
the heaters went into the jungle with
drums and horns, driving six buffalo

noises. After about half an hour,
when the beat was nearly UP to my
tree, l saw a huge tiger He was
going full bat, so I saw it was a case
of then or never, and although it was
a very blind shot 1 let blaze at the
vanishing stripes as they flashed
through the bamboos.
GA roar and rush told me the mon
ster was hit, but l could see nothing,
as the jungle was SO dense. When the
shikar came up I told him where
I had fired and got down and with
loaded rifles we approached the spot
where, about ten yards from where
fired, lay the very finest monster I
ever saw and his great striped body
did indeed look like a slain king of the
forest. The shikar and I all but
Rugged in our excitement. The mon
ster was indeed glorious with his ten
feet eight inches spread out in their
full, his gums rolled up, showing his
enormous teeth and his skin in it's
prime, and oh, SO beautifully black
and yellow.
Il had already shot three bears, two
panthers and tiger, besides all sorts
of deer and other smaller beasts. and
when saw that monster lying there
slain by my own hands it was the
proudest and happiest moment Of my
life and shall never get over the
feeling of eXultation."

How Roses Came to Be Red,

More than with any other flower does
the color of the rose have special sig
nifcance. Red Is love, white is silence.
yellow speaks jealousy. says N. Hud-
son Moore in the Delineator. One of
the legends connected with the rose
tells that it became white through be-
ing bathed with the tears of mourners
who sought the sweetest flower to lay
in the hands of their dead. A prettier
conceit declares that all roses We're
white until one day young Cupid,
dancing among them. upset in his mer-
ry sport a glass of wine, which dyed
the roses upon which it fell red, its own
color. Another legend tells the story Of
a holy little maid of Bethlehem who
was doomed to death. When the stakes
were heaped around her the fire would
not burn, but the brands which had
been flaming turned to red roses and
those which had not caught to white.
From this time forth roses, red and
white. were martyrs flowers. The
Turks say that red roses sprang from
the blood of Mohammed.

ROYAL Gamblers.

Henry VIII. would gamble away
property and money recklessly; taking
his defeats with bluff good humor. On
one occasion he staked the famous
campanile bell Of st. Paul's and lost it
to his adversary, Sir Miles Partridge,
who insisted on his pound Of flesh and
removed the bell. Queen Mary some
times resOrted to cards and was seldom
more lucky than her father, losing oc-
casiOnally even her lace caps or colts,
which were worth a good sum. Charles
II. loved basset and other round games
and would play night after night and
even on a Sunday till daylight, while
singers entertained the company from
a gallery. Even the cold William Of
Orange was gambler and liked moth
ing better than to spend the day racing
and the night playing cards.
George Ill detested cards and disap-
proved of playing for money, an aver
sion and opinion in nOwise shared by
his son and successor, who is said to
have lost more than 100000 before he
attained his majority.

Origin of the Term PhiIistines.

About the year $780, at Jena, where
the west gate of the city is remark
able for four images Of monkey heads,
cut in stone at each corner Of the gate,
a quarrel arose between the students
Of the university and the citizens, dur
ing which the gOWnSmen called the
gate Watchmen monkey watchmen."
To avenge this insult the watchmen
killed one of the students, whose fu-
neral sermon was preached from the
text '"The Philistines be upon thee,
Samson" From that time the towns
people We're called by the students
'PhiIistines,' and this use of the word
spread to other places.
In another explanation, given as
early as 1777 by Adelung. reference is
made to the Balistarii, or crossbow-
men, who were called in Hungary
Philistaei, and to the municipal sol
dierS of Vienna, who had the nickname
Philisters as early as the seventeenth
century.
The word was brought into promi-
nent notice in England by Matthew
Arnold, who appears to have adopted it
from Heine. By Philistine he meant
"a strong, logged, unenlightened OPP
ponent. like Goliath, Of the chosen peo-
pie, of the children of sweetness and

RitS of Information.

When very thirsty and only a small
amount of water is at hand drink with

good as when taken in large mouth
