How i;pEs Are Kent Frrsb,

In Germany eggs are kept fresh for
n length of time by simply immersing
them In a ten per cent. solution of sill
rate u soda, commonly called liquid
glass" This produces the formation of a
coatiTg which renders the Eggs perfectly
air-tiEht. The Eggs so treated retain their
fresh taste for many months. The best
proof of the efficacy of this treatment
has been furnished by the fact that such
eggs after having been kept for u whole
year, were Matched and the chickens were
strorF and healthy. The preserving solu-
zion is best prepared by dissolving one
pound of liquid glass In our quarts of
cold water. The epgs are then Immersed
in this solution. which should be kept In
a glazed earthen ware vessel, and the eggs
are kept In the solution for n short time.
II 0ne OF these preserved eggs Is to be
boiled, the shell must be first perforated
In order TO prevent cracking.

Daqgers for the Judges.

One of the many curious customs
which mark the visits of judges to
provincial assizes of England is that
observed at Newcastle-on-Tyne.
The Mayor always makes the fol.
lowing speech to the judges on cir.
cult:
my lords, we have to congratulate
you upon having completed your labors
in this ancient town, and have also to
inform you that. you travel hence to
Carlisle, through border country, much
and often infested by the Scots. We.
therefore, present each of your lord
ships with a piece of money to buy
Herewith a dagger to defend your
selves"
Then the Mayor produces two an
cient coins, a jacobus and a carolus
The former he presents to the senior
and the latter to the junior judge. Ap
parently it Is intended that the senior
Judge shall purchase a dagger twice
the size Of that purchased by the
junior Observation-Disclosures Guardian.

"FurIouqh" Not an Animal.

reading lesson Of a primary grade in
one of our public schools. says the

asked: Does any little boy or girl
know the meaning of the word fur.
lough?'" Whereupon one small hand
was raised and shaken vigorously in
the eagerness of the little urchin to
display his knowledge, and when per-
mitted by the teacher to do SO, he
arose, and with the greatest assurance
said: "Furlough means a mule Not
q whit disturbed at the teachers "Ah.
no it doesn't" the small boy conf.

told him he might bring the book to

showed her the picture of an American

Tba Jananese POLICE and Rats,

The following account exempli6es
the thorough in which jap

The Drogisten Zeitung says that last
month the police of Kobe distributed
to every house in town q package OF
arsenic, with directions for the use OF
the poison printed on each package,
which latter was to be used in the de-
struction of rats, in accordance with
the plan of the department of health in
lighting the plague. A very prominent
citizen Of Kobe, and a political leader
Of some note, on the day after the dis
tribution was made, called at the office
of the Kobe Chronicle, and lodged a
complaint to the effect that he had
been grossly insulted by the police.
According to his account, q police OF
deer on the foregoing day had walked
into his dwelling, and without a word
handed him a package marked AR

That's for you," answered the officer.
nFor me?', inquired the astonished citi.
zen, In whose mind, no doubt, visions
of a hint to betake himself to the un'
known shore after the ''good, old" Jap
anese fashion, were floating. Eyes
for-you," repeated the policeman
pausing after each word to emphasize
1t. 'aThe order has gone forth thai
all vermin shall die.'' This was al
that the astonished editor could ge

latter went away still raging agains

rHE GOOD OLD o

What has become of the good old show
That thrived in our boyhood days
The good old play Of the long ago,
With its blood and thunder ways?
What has become of the heroine
Who leaped DER a chasm deep
To escape her foes-or who bravely
climbed
The side of a pasteboard steep?
What has become of the hero who,
A gun IN each steady hand,
Defed the villain-his whole gang,
And murdered the wicked band?
What has become of the mothers
prayer
That the deep-dyed scoundrel heard,
And the heart reformed by the chirp-
Of an automatic bird?
Oh! thal was the show that reached
hA hearth
When SFords and pistols and chairs
Were hsuTaI5nbout for the fight to
stSt,
! yelled like a fiend. upstairs!
Often I wept for the lady fair
And her lovers awful plight,
Till some one near me would yell:
Say, you!
Dry up! They'll come out all right"
All! if the villain had conquered-wOe!
Aye, woe to the playhouse then!
We chaps upstairs had agreed to go
And never come back again!
But somehow or other it all came right.
A narrow escape twas, though,
When villains plotted ferocious crime
In the days of the good old show.
