Box for Carrying EGGS.

MOST poultrymen are familiar with the
egg carriers used on the market and those
who have a considerable quantity of eggs
to handle use these carriers. The farmer,
however, is in the habit of earring egg
to the market in a basket and often many
Of them become broken, resulting in con-
siderable loss. The illustration shows one
OF the boxes which may be made from
cheap material and which will answer as
well as the boxes sold for the purpose.
Any grocer who handles quantities of
shipped Eggs will give a customer some
of the cardboard filters such as are used
IN the crates; then buy some cracker
boxes and fashion a neat box like the one
shown, cutting the Dashboard filters with

Mr.. Clayton, of Alabama, and Mr.. Gil
Iette. of California, tried to talk n an
other down during yesterdays House
debate. The Southerner had been speak
ing in voluble tones, such as can be
easily heard in all parts of the chamber
He paused in the midst of his remarks
to consult n paper hat he held in his
hand. whereat Mr.. Gillette rose up,
thinking Mr.. Clayton had concluded.
and began to address the House in his
own right.
Mr.. Clayton soon resumed and his
sounding tones completely enveloped
the California voice. The House began
to laugh at these two rival takers,
and Mr.. Gillette, seeing his error, sub
sided. and the Alabamaian again had
an unimpeded course.

n hundred bushels of elderberries for
mother to make wine of. Yes, that
goes right to the spot"
Mrs. Bowser said 10 more. and din
ner was put on the table and eaten.
! Mr.. Bowser drank Il second glass with
ais dinner. and. though he screwed his
! mouth around as if the taste was not
exactly to his liking, he made no re-
! marks. When tie neal had beer fin
ished and the sitting Dom reached he
said:
81 must buy Tom a present of some
kind and send it up. 1t was mighty
good and thoughtful of him to re-
member me, and, do you know, I've
| got the greatest faith in it aS a rene
dy."
"a remedy for what" absently que
ried Mrs. Bowser.
For what? That's a queer question
to ask me. You know I've been a suf-
tsrer from rheumatism for the last
twenty years. I believe if / should
once get cured Of it you would be mad
and jealous"
Nonsense. In the first place, you
have only got neuralgia and very little
of that, and in the next you are too
ready to pick up with any sort of rem
edy. Our druggist will tell you that
timothy hay boiled in sweet water has
just as much virtue as elderberry
wine"
"Then he's an Internal fool. If it
isn't the best thing out, how is it that 1
feel better after taking only two glass
es? Things have come to Il pretty pass
when you get jealous and show it in
! every word because my dear old friend
Tom sends me down a little present.
Mrs. Bowser, 1 wouldn't have your dis
position for all the money in town. It's
nag. nag, nag. and if you had some
husbands they wouldn't stand it as 1
do"
We'll. l hope the wine will make you
feel better" she answered as she
turned to her book.
Make me feel better. OF course it
will. Those two glasses have driven
out more'n forty different aches al
ready. BY the time the gallon is gone
1 shall feel like a four-year-old colt
again. l think III try another glass"
He went down in the dining room
and helped himself, and when re re-
turned he lighted a cigar and took up
F, the evening paper. AT the end of ten
minutes Mrs. Bowser noticed that he
was hitching around as If he had some
thing on his mind. and after two or
three minutes he asked:
"You don't think Tom could have
made any mistake about that jug. 10
you:"
You said 1t WAS e~lderberry wine"
| she replied.

Senator Spooner yesterday was led to
telling the story of a miner. 1t came
up during the Senate debate on the
pure food bill, when the Senator re-
marked upon the a~dvisability of having
pure food packages branded is such.
why, there is no more need of that"
rejoined senator McCumber. than Of
having miners branded as men to whom
saloonkeepers shall not sell drinks"
Well" replied enator Spooner, Il
once had a case in which the liability
OF a saioonkeeper for selling drinks to
a miner was involved. The miner had
a beard and was large and c%orpulent.
The judge decided that the responsible
ity rested with the saloonkeeper to as
certain whether any patron was capa-
bic under the law as a drinker."
4 smile went around the Senate at
this Illustration of the possible necessi-
ty of some distinguishing labels for
miners who want to patronize saloons.

and then descending into the basement
he picked up the jug and started for
the drug store. He was looking pale
and perturbed when be entered the
store, and the druggist asked IL any
thing was the matter down at the
house.
mo, nothing the matter down there
he replied, but 1 wish you WOULD tell
me if this is e~lderberry wine? 1t was
sent me by an old friend up the state,
and L have begun to take it for my
rheumatism"

than so much coffee. Indeed 1t isn't
half so good as buttermilk. So you
have been swigging it down. have
you?"
"Only three glasses"
well, you have made an ass of your
self, as usual. This stuff is some kind
of horse or COW liniment and not elder
berry wine at all. Why in the dickens
did you begin on it before you were
sure?"
IL dunno. Is it poisonousT"
