but concluded that little of it was avail
able for English use. In some of the
details Of railroad operation in this
country the report states that we are
in advance of England, but in the very
important matter of safety we are far
behind, While much Interested in tho
automatic and other mechanical devices
he thought the gain was counterbal-
anced by the increased risks to passen-
gers and employees, which in the case
or automatic signaling might be due 10
the weather or possibly to the failure
of the mechanism.
Perhaps there is not much for Amer
lean railroad managers to learn from
the management of English RAILWAYS
Dut IL Is unquestionable that in the
matter OF safety the English railroads
are greatly superior, The statistics ron
clusiyely prove this. More care is taken
there than In this country for the pro-
lection of passengers. 1t seems tboro
is generally better discipline on English
roads There is no doubt that in most
respects American railroads are equal

JULY 4, I776.
The Dramatic Moment When the Dec
IaratiOn of Independence
Was Signed.

In the Woman's Home Companion
Mr.. Landon Knight gives a graphic
description of the dramatic moment
when the Declaration of Independ-
ence was signed He says: 1.-The
fourth day of July, 1776, arrives, and
every member is in his seat. No,
Caesar Rodney, of Delaware, does not
answer the roll-call as his name is
called. week before he had gone
home to get influence to bear on one
OF his colleagues who opposed the
resolution. The night before Thomas
Jefferson and DR.. Franklin had sent
post-haste for Rodney to come, if he
wished to save the resolution, for his
vote would decide it. And now, as
the friends of the measure looked
upon his empty seat, there is I'M
eaSlneSS, almost CONSERVATION. The
debate begins, and wakes warmer as
the day grows; the noon recess is for
gotten; the calm, telling logic of John
Adams, the quaint, clear sentences of
DR.. Franklin, the imprisoned ora
tory of Henry, are still falling upon
attentive ears. Never was such a
scene witnessed as that now being en-
acted here. There is no confusion,
no excitement. but the gravity of the
occasion rests heavily upon all. Now
the hour has arrived. The roll-call
has begun. Delaware is reached.
Caesar Rodney, of Delaware!' calls
the clerk. There is CHATTER of
hofs, changing of spurs; the door
is thrown open; man travel-stalned
and flushed with excitement rushes
into the chamber. Caesar Rodney, of
Delawaren again calls the clerk, and
in ringing tones the reply comes:
Caesar Rodney votes aye!' The roll
call continues; is finished. The Dec
lara ton of Independence is adopted,
and the United States of America is
born as nation upon the earth."

CLEANING THE EGGS.
No other Little Job That Can Be Done
Around the Farm Yields Better
Cash Results.

It is remarkable how many soiled
eggs mary be seen in the country
stores and elsewhere. Many make
no attempt to clean them and many
more do not know how to do it prop
erly when they make the attempt.
Stained and smeary eggs hurt the
sale to a marked degree, as it is not
only matter of tastefulness, but it
gives the eggs a stale look.
Eggs all of one color and perfect
ly clean make an attractive appear
ance and will readily bring several
cents more per dozen than a dirty
lot, particularly when quality goes
with appearance and the one is gen
orally an indication of the other. An
egg is improperly cleaned when it
is wet too much and not rubbed dry
with dry cloth. Some, when they
see spots of dirt on eggs put them
in a pan of water and wash them
like potatoes. There is, on the fresh
ly laid egg, a mucilaginous covering
which gives it a velvety appearance
peculiar to new eggs. Water re-
moves this, making the egg have an
older appearance and destroying it's
keeping qualities, as this covering
makes the shell imperyious to air
An egg, then, if it is not much soiled,
should merely be moistened where
necessary and rubbed dry. If the
blemish is in the nature of stain, q
little powdered securing brick will
help, and if this is not effective vine
gar may be used in addition. In this
way any stains may be removed from
an egg. Sometimes they have to be
put in water, but do not do it unless
it is necessary, and then rub dry
afterwards. If this is not done they
will look soiled and dingy. Eggs
should be collected twice or more
times day.-G. Davis, in Ohio

Build Up Weak Colonies.

Instead of allowing the bees to
swarm it is better to build up the
weak colonies by transferring brood
comb to the depleted hives. Now is
the time to attend to these details,
while the season is open for work, so
as to allow time for the bees to in
crease in numbers and lay in stock for
winter. 1t is folly to have the bees Of
the strong colonies swarm as long as
there are any that are weak. If this is
not considered the better mode then
the strong colonies may be allowed to
rob the weaker, in which case the two
colonies will become as one and both
be benefited, but before making new
hives see that all the hives are full and
up to the complement both in bees
and honey, and it will be saving of
time aud bees

CONTEMPORARY ANCESTORS.
MOuntaineers of Kentucky and Vir-
gihia Who Adhere to OId-Time
Colonial Habits.

Many people understand in al vague
way that the purest American strain
of the United States is found in the
southern states. In some of these the
proportion of foreign born is minute
fraction. Of course, in the Atlantic
coast and gulf line states there is a
large black mixture, but in the Appala-
chan mountains the white Anglo-Sax-
ons are found almost pure. This is an
enormous region, stretching from
Pennsylvania to Mississippi, and maxi
ing up the mountain hinterland of
nine states that front on the ocean and
on great navigable rivers, says the Min
neapolis Tribune.
The president of Berea college,
which lies near the Kentucky noun
tains, describes the people in recent
lecture in the north as "our ,contem-
porary ancestors" The phrase de-
scribes them like a picture. These
mountaineers, to the number of sew
eral millions are living in the precise
manner and amid almost forgotten
conditions Of colonial times. Indus
trlally, the women retain the art OF
the spinning wheel and hand loom; the
men are clever in the use of the whip
saw for getting out lumber and the
hand-mill for grinding corn. The
mountain stills use the primitive meth
DDS of the last century, and the noun
tain potteries make open lamps in
which grease is burned with foa ting
wick. intellectually they have rather
degenerated than developed from the
Scotch-Irish ancestors of the eight
zenith century, but they have retained
strict though narrow, religious ideas.
What is to be the future history Of
these colonial Americans of pure
blood, hardly changed for five genera
tions, who thrive and multiply in
lonely homes, only a days journey
from modern civilized life? They have
physical vigor and latent intellectual
power. The few individuals, like An
drew Jackson and Lincoln, who have
risen out of the mass, have left the
| strongest mark upon our national life
and history. 1t is common question
| in playing with historic analogies,
where the barbarians are to come
| from to renew decayed American civ
| iliZation as the Teutonic tribes re-
| will pour down, when the time is ripe
for them, out of this mountain back
bone of the continent.
