BAD EGGS HAVE GOOD USES.
Several Methods by Which Decayec
Hen Fruit May Be Utilized.

The career Of the egg may not be
romantic, but frequently it is interest
ing. The full and perfect career Is
without doubt to develop into lusty
young chick, a rolypoly ball Of yell
low down with a plaintive peek and
toothpick legs.
But the full and perfect career is as
rare among eggs as among human be-
ings, for many things intervene to cut
it short, and it's usefulness is diverted
into channels of which few house
wives and poultry raisers dream.
Several fates lie in wait for the
fresh, clean egg that reaches the mar
ket, with dozens Of it's fellows, in its
pasteboard compartment of the typical
egg case. 1t may be sold for domestic
uses and be fried with q piece of ham
or bacon, or become an ingredient in
the numerous products Of the house.
of the most tempting drink or fall into
the hands of a hairdresser or barber,
and cleanse the raven locks of debu-
tante or the name of policeman.
1t may be that the egg is broken on
it's way to market or its shell Is cracked
so that it will not sell. Then it Is
broken with countless others into five
gallon cans and frozen. The rumor is
that these frozen eggs are sold to ba-
kers in the larger cities to be used
in winter.
Should the egg survive until it pass
es the zenith Of it's existence and en-
ters into a decline, it may be sent to
some of the large coffee roasters Of the
east and be used to glaze coffee.
Even should the egg survive the first
period of its decline and enter into the
last stage it is not without value. 1t
is used commercially for tanning kid
gloves and other feathers.
The usefulness of the egg Is not ex-
hausted when it has met with one of
these several fates. The shells, where
large quantities of eggs are used, are
carefully gathered and the portion
which is not used for hen food is
ground and forms a common adulter-
ant for spices. The shell can be roast
ed to the desired shade, is absolutely
harmless and is very difficult for any
but the chemist to detect.-St. Paul
Pioneer Press.

WHY BATE DON'T SMoKE.-Senator
Bate Of Tennessee Is passionate
lover of tobacco, yet the cigar he car
ries in his mouth Is always unlightea,
saws the Peoria Journal. No, he is
not taking the cure, he explains 1t IN
this way:
1t seems that during the war, Sena-
tor (then GeneraD Bate, was riding by
the side Of his brother during q battle.
He felt the longing for smoke COM
ing on, and so he drew finely ma
vored Havana cigar from his pocKet.
He scratched a match against the sad
die, and was just about to light the
weed, when a shell whizzed suddenly
by, and the quick rush Of air accom-
panying the shell put the match OUT.
He was about to strike another, when
he discovered that the shell had made
it's mark, and there lay the dead body
Of his brother. To this day he has
sort Of superstition regarding lighted
cigars, and this explains why he only
indulges in a dry" smoke.

Is no more than sniveling, and the
woman who snivels is lost. With the
handkerchief she can beat me; with
out 1t she is at my mercy. AS the poet
truly says: In hoe handkerchief

likely to rest on the temporary pos
session of bit of linen and lace. When
she finds 1t gone she will be too rat
