Preserving Eggs In Water Glass.

Preserving Eggs In Water Glass.
The most simple and efficient method
of preserving eggs for several months
is by covering them with a solution
Of water glass. This preparation has
been tested by various experiment sta
tons, and has proved to be the best OF
any methods yet discovered, except
artificial cold storage. 1t Is being
used to some extent in commercial
way, as we'll as by many farmers and
housekeepers who wish to pack away
eggs in spring when they are cheap
and plentiful for use during the fall
and winter months.
Strictly fresh, clean eggs are neces-
sary to put down. Stale or dirty eggs
will not keep well. Eggs should not
be washed. They should be packed,
preferably small end down, in a stone
jar or other suitable vessel, which
should be placed in a cool, dark place.
To ten OF fifteen quarts Of water,
which has been boiled and cooled, add
one quart water glass Sodium silicate).
which may be obtained of most drug
gists. A good grade of water glass
should be used. The vessel should be
kept tightly covered to prevent evap-
grafton. If the eggs are kept in too
warm a place the silicate is deposited
and the eggs are not properly pro-
tected. The solution may be prepared.
placed in the jar and fresh eggs add
ed from time to time until the jar is
full, but be sure that there is fully
two inches of the solution covering
the eggs.
The eggs may be taken out from time
to time as needed. They will be COW
cred with a jelly-like solution, which
is easily washed off. All packed eggs
contain a little gas and in boiling the
shell will crack. This may be pre-
vented by making q pinhole in the
large end of the egg before cooking.
One farmer in Maine reports preserv-
ing GO00 dozen eggs last season by
this method. He sold them in Decem-
Der and January and received the same
price that strictly fresh eggs sold for.
While eggs preserved in this way are
not as good as new-laid eggs, they are
better than the usual run of fresh
stock to be had at the stores.

SOUTHERN : FARM Z: NOTES.


five hours. at ordinary room tempera-
ture. we have found that a mixture
of equal parts of lime phosphate and
lime carbonate, when treated with go
times its mass of water, gave about
two parts per million of phosphoric
acid to the water, but when carbon
dioxide was also passed through the
solution. about forty-two parts per
million, or twenty times as much, was
given. Therefore, on account OF the
slight solubility Of lime phosphate on
the one hand, and its decomposition
by water on the other hand, a SUBJ
stance containing it will yield a COM
paratively steady, small supply OF
phosphoric acid for relatively long
time; that is, until all the phosphoric
acid has gradually gone into solution.

your inquiries. and 1 shall be glad to
assist you further if you may require

FREAK HOUSES.
Dwellings In Which Ladders Took
the Place of Stairways.

Years ago story was told Of a naval
officer who wanted house built to
please his own taste in every detail.
He drew the plans himself. placed them
in the hands Of builder and instructed
him to see that they We're carried out in
every detail. Then he went 10 sea for
a years cruise. When he returned
home the house had been completed
with the utmost regard for the plans
and specifications left by the officer.
He was taken through the first floor
and expressed the utmost pleasure in
everything he saw.
"Now," he said, Eve will go upstairs
and see the second floor"
Come right out this way where we
have a ladder" replied the builder.
The seafaring man was astonished.
He had planned the house with the
greatest care, but forgot TO provide for
q stairway.
The story of the naval officer has
never had a certificate Of genuineness
attached to it, but an actual case in
which a house has been built without
q stairway is on record in Washington.
1t finally became the home of the late
John Boyle, who was for many years
chief clerk Of the navy department and
who died in 1854, leaving n large es-
tate. The house in question stood on
the site now occupied by a brewery be-
low the naval observatory. 1t was q
pretentious old mansion, located In
what was very stylish section during
the days of the elder John Boyle, who
came to this country in the early years
of the nineteenth century. The record
is not clear as to why the house was
constructed without q staircase, but
there is no doubt about the fact

A WISE OLD FOX.
One Who For n Long Time CieveT3y
EIuded the HOundz.

In common with other people who
have looked after fox coverts have
often been puzzled by the disappearance
of well known foxes and have become
convinced that the more intelligent
foxes, after they have been berore
hounds several times, often turn their
wits to account to avoid being. hunted,
In small covert that l know well
there was always a fox. y fine big
fellow he was. L have more than once
met him when taking an early ride as
he loped quietly homeward after his
nights foraging. lie never seemed to
mind being seen. When the season
opened he gave US one or two capital
runs, on the second occasion only just
saving his brush by scrambling into an
unstopped drain in our neighbor's terri
tory. After that he was never to be
found when hounds came. Yet he was
seen about as usual at other times. One
day when walking near the covert one
of the terriers, who knew all about
foxes, took line to an old tree in the
hedgerow and began to whimper and
scratch at the roots. \ careful exam
ination showed nothing. The tree was
not difficult to climb. 1t proved TO have
a hollow trunk, and there, at the bot
tom, was my friend curled up fast
asleep. His mask smiles on me as 1
write After a seven mile point and
on a good scenting day he met his fate.

about lie beginning of October and
come chiefly from the arid hills in the
middle and south of France. They are
brought 10 the markets in their natural

A writer in Vim does not think high
ly of mineral waters. He says: ''The
best water Is the water containing the
least mineral matter in It. The nearer
you can come TO getting absolutely pure
water Oh OF 70 drink the more easy 1t
will be TO keep I'm good health. The
simplest form In which absolutely pure
water is found Is in rain. And rain
water collected from Off clean sur
face and stored in clean reservoir is
as good rs anything one can find. The
best substitute for ralnwater is good
distilled water. In fact, distilled wa
ter may be. somewhat preferable, as It
Is not subject to accidental contamina-
ton In tie many ways rainwater Is.
To argue that absolutely pure water Is
not healthful IS equal to saying that
the addition Of pollution improves it-a
proposition that will not stand the test
OF hard common sense"

The HeaIthfuI UphII Wink.

The best way to get oxygen into the
blood is TO walk mile uphill two or
three times day, keeping the mouth
closed and expanding the nostrils. This
beats all other methods. During such
walk every drop of blood in the body
will make the circuit of the lungs and
stream, red and pure, back TO its ap-
pointed work of cleansing and repairing
wornout tissues. Recreation piers are
coming into use at seaports, and people
are being advised TO use balconies and
fire escapes in the fresh air treatment
Of consumption. The uphill walk, as
prorhylactic and curative measure in
many chronic ailments dependent upon
II weak condition Of the heart, lungs
and blood vessels, would prove invaIu-

Old Time Carving Terms.

In an old number of a magazine Is
sued more than century ago we light
ed upon list of different terms used
at tables Of elegance" in the days
when Queen Charlotte came as the
bride of the young md lrcndrorrc rrfnr.
From this list it would appear that
nothing in the way of game was to be
carved. The correct phrase was to
"cut up" a turkey, to rear" goose,
to "unlace" hare or rabbit, to wing"
n partridge or a quail, TO "allay" n
pheasant, to ''dismember' n heron, to
'thigh" a woodcock, to display" a
crane and to Tiff a swan. Beef and
mutton were Carved" of course, and
the sporting men prided themselves by
using appropriate sporting terms when

MARVELS OF MEMORY.
Feats of Famous Men That Seem Al
most beyond Belief.


Some examples of the marvels Of
memory would seem entirely incredible
had they not been given to us upon
the highest authority. Cyrus knew the
name of each soldier in his army. 1t is
also related of Themistocles that he
could tell by name every citizen of
Athens, although the number amount
ed to 10000. Mithridates, king of Pom
tus, knew all his 10000 soldiers by
their right names.
Scipio knew all the inhabitants of
Rome. Seneca complained of old age
because he could not, as formerly, re-
peat 1000 names in the order in which
they were read to him, and he stated
that on one occasion, when at his
studies, 200 unconnected verses having
been recited by the different pupils of
his preceptor, he repeated them in a
reverse order, proceeding from the last
to the first.
Thomas Cranmer committed to mem
ory in three months an entire transla-
ton of the Bible. Euler, the mathema-
tician, could repeat the "Eneid," and
Leibnitz, when an old man, could re-
cite the whole of Virgil, word for word.
1t is said that Bossuet could repeat not
only the whole Bible, but all of Homer,
Virgil and Horace, besides many other
works.

GLOVES IN EAn Y DAYS.
They Were often Made to Represent
the Man Who Wore Them.

They Were often Made to Represent
the Man Who Wore Them.
In the early days everything was not
regulated for the people, as it is now,
by the government and the law courts.
Europe was still young then, and peo-
pie had rough and ready means of deal
ing with one another, of buying and
selling or giving goods and property
and settling disputes. A glove, as it
was very close indeed to a mans hand,
came in course of time to be looked
upon as taking the place of the hand it
self, and sometimes took the mans
place and was made TO represent him.
For example, TO open fair it was
necessary then to have the consent and
protection of the great lord in whose
country it was going to be held. Those
who wished to open the fair would
come to the nobleman and petition him
10 be present He might be very busy,
or bored at the idea of having to go, yet
lie would know that it must be opened
or his people would be discontented.
So he would say to the leaders of the
people: "No, my trusty fellows, / can't
open the fair in person, but / will send
my glove to do it. You all know my
glove. Nobody has one like it in the
country. 1t is the one my lady mother
embroidered for me in colored silks and
silver wire, and 1t has a deep violet
fringe. You can hang 1t above the en-
trance of your fair grounds as a sign
that you are acting with my permis-
sion. If any one disputes your right or
touches his masters glove L will attend
TO him; that's allr' SO the glove would
travel in state to open the fair.-St.

Our Double Selves.

In a form Of experience which is al
most as common as ordinary dreaming
we see that the semisomnolent self
possesses Il faculty not always given
TO the waking self. Compared with my
own waking self, for instance, my half
asleep self is almost personality Of
genius. He can create visions that the
waking self can remember but cannot
originate and cannot trace to any mem
ory of waking impressions. These ap-
parently trivial things thus point to the
existence Of almost wholly submerged

commonplace and, SO to speak, super
fetal as mine.

what Pigs Can De Taught.

Owing to its obstinacy and seeming
stupidity the pig is usually classed
among the dull animals. This, how
ever, is not just estimate Of It's in

pick out letters of the alphabet have
been exhibited at fairs. Throw a pig
into deep water, and it will begin swim

than most men are able TO do.
In France they have been trained to
hunt for trufiies (Which are hidden un-
dergr0und) and TO draw the plow.
They have even been taught to act as
pointers. In most cases they are
trained by means of reward for sue
cess. In pointing, for example, when
they blunder they get stone, but If,
when they spot the bird, they drop
their tail and ears and sink on their
knees and do not rise until after the
bird has risen they are rewarded with
