TESTING EGGS IN MEXICO.
Novel Method Which Is in Vogue
Among the Natives of That
Country.

1t is common sight in the plaza to
behold n stall woman, who is selling
two reals worth of eggs, pick them up
one by one, put one end and then the
other to her lips, and hand them over
to the customer, who repeats the same
Identical operation.
To the inexperienced onleoker 1t
seems as if they were tasting the ex-
tremities of the egg, says the Mexican
Herald. AS a matter of fact, they never
touch the egg TO the tongue.
The idea Of the performance is that
when the egg is fresh one end is dis
tinctly colder than the other The end
which has the air chamber is the warm
er Of the two. The human lips are ex-
ceadingly sensitive to heat and cold,
and.even the novice at this form of egg
testing promptly becomes a capable
Judge. II both ends of the egg reveal.t the
same temperature, that egg may be
counted as bad. as it is a fairly good
sign that the air chamber is broken
and the contents spread equally within
the shell

CARING FOR THE HAIR.
IF Done Systematically It Is by Ne
Means a Lahorious Task Tor
the Woman.

When you have finished your house
work and are ready to sit down at your
sewing or darning, or perhaps to scan
the magazine, you very naturally DO
not want to waste the precious and
pleasant moments Of the day struggling
over your appearance. You haven time
Tor everything, you argue, and you
must get the mending done or you must
read and improve your mind q little.
or you must finish piece of fancy
work. Well, do it; do any or all of the
things you want to do or ought to do,
but first choose a sunny corner, by an
open window, and, sitting there with
the sunlight fltering in on your back,
let down your locks to the winds. Let
them blow and play about your shout
ders. Give them chance at the air and
sunlight, just as you would gre your
flowers that chance to breathe and to
draw in life. The divine Sarah Bern
hardt never confines her locks when
she is in private. All day long when
she is at home they fly to the sun and
winds and are untouched by hairpin
or ribbon. That's why, even as grand
mother, she still has golden tresses in
stead Of iron gray wisps of hair.
Nothing is SO good for the scalp and
the hair itself as a daily sun and air
