storage. These are the eggs we inva-
riably get in the winter time, as really
fresh eggs from the country as so dear
as to limit the quantity used. The
housewife purchases the cold storage
egs, among which a bad one can al
ways be found, and many nice cake
has been spoiled on this account. 1t is
difficult to tell with the naked eye the
inevitable bad one that slips in occa-
sionally, and it Is usually discovered
when it is too late. A very simple
device to overcome the chance of a bad
egg getting into the cake or pudding
Is shown here. The egg is placed in
the smaller end of the funnel, the 9th
er end covering the eyes. The peculiar
shape so reflects the light that it is
an easy matter to detect the bad egg
from the good one, and saves the cook
from worrying whether her cake will
be spoiled. There would be no chance
either, Of boiling an egg and after
opening 1t finding it to be strong and
not fit to eat. A. Blum, of Savannah
Ga, is the patentee.

heat sufficient to dry the hair thorough

struction being such as to create d
draught of air which passes out OF the
mouth of the tube.
Being small and of little weight tne
lamp can be adjusted on any convent

using it. Miss Eleanor Robinson OF

to put on the table If they are not per-
fectly fresh. In those families which
are lucky enough to possess an Ice
chest or refrigerator II Is generally
placed in the cellar, where it Is always
cooler and where the ice melts less
rapidly, or sometimes 1t Is put out in
the yard. Every time an article Is
wanted, even if it is only glass of
ice water, it means a trudge up and
down stairs, which is very firing to
the housewife. A very compact and
convenient substitute for the refrig-
orator is shown in the Illustration 1t
will be observed at a glance how use
full it would be and also the time that
would be saved. The inside compart-
ments can be arranged to suit the in
dividual taste, and the box placed
where it would be most easy to reach
The idea of the inventor Is to fasten
the chest, as it might be called, on
swinging brackets just outside Of the
kitchen window, where it would be
handy to reach. After the article want
ed has been removed from the chest,
it can be pushed back against the wall
out of the way.
Another very great advantage is that
it could be used in winter as we'll as
summer, as in winter the cold air
would be sufficient to keep fresh all
perishable articles. The inventor is II.

feeding. In fact it is claimed the
meat is sweeter and more tender.
The machine is set upon a tripod
arrangement, at the top Of which is an
iron food receptacle, with a suction
pump in the bottom. This pump Is
operated by a pedal After passing
the end of the tube through which the
food is forced through the chickens
mouth until 1t reaches the crop the
pedal is worked until the crop is full,
when the man in charge Of the ma
chine removes his foot from the
pedal, stopping the flow of food In
stantly. Despite the seeming cruelty,
the chicken is not injured by the
operation. The illustration shows how
the chicken is held while being fed,
but the tube Is beside the fowl, ex-
tending to about the point it would
reach when inserted in its mouth.
One man can feed 300 chickens In
this manner twice day if he is at oil
spry. While the chickens are ON this
diet they are kept in close condne-
ment, are given no exercise, and are
allowed only the liquid food.

A Window Refrigerator.

In the Southern States, where the
thermometer seldom gets below ~ or
70 degrees, except in the very heart OF
the winter months, it is often difficult
problem to keep perishable foods IN
good condition. This Is also true IN
the Northern States in the summer sea-
son. and the housewife has to have an
ice chest or refrigerator in which to
store certain articles Of food. Fruits or
all kinds, butter, meats and similar
eatables must be kept out Of the heat

Southern whites will not work In
the cotton fields, and Northerners are
no more willing, nor are they suited
to the work. The suggestion that I'M
migrants from southern Europe might
findready and constant employment as
agricultural workers in the South,
where climatic conditions are those to
which they are accustomed in their
native countries, is being eagerly
seized upon by cotton planters. Land
and mill owners are looking for white
workers to take the place Of the
blacks and are offering inducements
to italians, which the latter show
signs uf accepting.

They say that no matter how big a
human being becomes, there Is a streak
Of meanness in him somewhere, and
sooner or later it will show. Russell
Sage has lost million dollars at clip
and viewed the disaster philosophical
~. But he will haggle over the price
of an apple and allow himself to be
annoyed by trivial things that really
should not concern him. Hetty Green,
with her millions, is credited with NOV
ing out of a comfortable Office because
her rent was advanced So a month.
She has done even smaller things than
that in financial way. Mrs. Jack"
Gardner, the rich leader of society in
Boston, contested most bitterly a suit
Of John Williams, colored, for $3.50.
She maintained that he was only en-
titled to SIS for shoveling snow from
her sidewalk. She lost the suit. An
Ohio man, with nearly a million dollars
to his credit and with no possibility of
even spending his income, built brick
block six inches inside his lot line and
remarked: Some day somebody will

that six-inch strip of land will surprise
him." 1t did. The man who wanted
to build adjoining was surprised that
wealthy man should descend to such
a petty trick in order to make a few
unnecessary dollars. He refused to be
bled, and to-day two fine blocks stand
side by side. and between them there Is
a space of six inches to measure greed
and smallness of mind. All of which
goes to prove that the possession Of
money seldom broadens a mind, but
does emphasize eccentricities. The rich
man may be able to purchase federation
for his pecullarlties, but he cannot buy
respect when his natural meanness Is
apparent. Humanity may remember
Sage as an able financier. 1t will re-
member his misery manner of living
longer. All the good acts of the man
who placed his building six inches
from the lot line have not sufficed to
wipe out the memory of that one
sneaking, little, contemplate business
act Men are only men, after all.

Newspapers are blamed, often justly,
for the detail with which they report
crime and other evil deeds. With the
weak and the shallow, notoriety is
fame, and in order to attain it they
initiate the deeds of desperadoes. But
If the papers are to be censured for
this, they ought to be commended for
the corresponding fidelity with which
they report every humane act and ev-
cry deed 5ofaheroism. Here, too, they
appeal to the initiative faculty of hui
man nature and to the desire for that
precious reward, the approval or the
admiration Of ones fellows. There is
no doubt that Americans are hero-wor-
shippers. Official remissness, or the hap
py-go-lucky, trust-to-chance policy,
leads every now and then to a fright
full catastrophe, but there is never one
which does not produce some man or
woman whose courage and self-sacrt
flee touch the tragedy with a CLEAN Of
light. No one knows, Of course, how
often these men or women are inspired
to deeds of heroism by having read of
similar deeds performed by persons
equally humble; but it is significant
that a paper is published in England
for the sole purpose Of giving publicity
to such acts; that society exists there
for rewarding them, and that so

wanted other evidence, what was Ma

wore it? And what else are the orders
and medals with which governments
reward their soldiers and sailors? The
lesson, however, is wider one than
the question of encouraging or creating
heroes. 1t applies to almost every side
of life-the old lesson that evil infiu-
ences corrupt and good ones uplift; and
1t Is all the more impressive that it Is
plainly and constantly demonstrated by
so simple thing as the news in the
daily papers.
