How to Tell an Eggs Age.

You can discover the age of all
egg by immersing it in solution
of salt containing about eight
ounces to the pint When the
salt has thoroughly dissolved, the
egg to be tested is dropped gently
into the glass containing the solu-
tion. If the egg is only one lay
old it sinks Immediately to the
bottom, if three days old it sinks
Just below the surface only, and
from FIVE days and upward it
floats.
Another process has just been
awarded a medal in Saxony by the
National Society of Poultry Breed
ers. 1t is we'll known that the
air cavity at the blunt end of an
egg enlarges as the age of the egg
increases. Consequently, If the
egg be placed in a solution similar
to the one described above, it will
have an increasing tendency to
float with the long axis vertical.
A scale of angles is placed at the
back of the vessel, and from the
of the egg to the hori-
zontal the age can be gagged al
most to a day. A new-laid egg
lies horizontally at the bottom of
the vessel. When three to FIVE
days old the egg raises itself from
the horizontal, so that its long
axis makes an angle of about 2OI
degrees, with the horizontal. At
eight days it is 90 degrees; at about
three weeks it is about IS degrees,
while after four weeks it stands
upright on the pointed end. -Ex-

a DISPATCH from Austin says
the St. Louis, Brownsville and
Mexico has rendered the treasury
department the proportion of taxes
due under the Love gross receipts
tax law, together with 10 per cent,
penalties. 1t rendered the depart
ment the taxes due for FIVE and
one half months, contending that
it was not liable for that part of the
year prior to the taking effect of
the law. The treasurer refused to
accept the sum rendered, but at
the request of the road gave it a
certificate of tender, showing that
it wanted to pay what it thought
was due.

Victoria's Veterans.

Victoria county is proud of the
fact that she has three veterans
who were participants in the last
battle of the Confederacy which
was fought at Palmetto ranch about
twenty miles below Brownsville
near the mouth of the Rio Grande
on the 18th day of May 1865.
The Federals consisted of full
regiment of negroes and about
800 whites under Col. Barrett.
There were about 500 Confederates.
The battle ragged fercely till late
in the evening. The Confederates
routed them late in the evening
and captured 127 soldiers. The
three brave soldiers from Victoria
who yet live here are J. c. Johns
ton, Col. J. c. Warden, and Frank
Beck, ST.. In the battle of Palmetto
ranch, Mr.. Johnston lost his horse.
The Confederates were all under
the immediate command on the
field Of Col. John S. Ford, better
known as old Rip" They also
belonged to Capt. A. c. Jones
company and Col Benevides' regi-
ment Advocate.

RIGHT here in Henderson we
have as trifling a set of negroes as
can be found in the state. Last
Monday morning a squad of seven
able bodied men sat leisurely on a
street bench, unmindful of the ap-
proach of stringent times, and
when approached by white man
who offered them cash to cut wood,
at 81 for two-foot wood, and 81. so
for stove wood, per cord, they as
sumed a demeauor of independence
that would do credit to a retired
capitalist, and look of indigna-
ton covered their countenanceS as
they spurned the proposition. No
wonder the inclination is growing
to rid the land, at any sacrifice al
most, of these miserable leeches
upon our industrial affairs, as It is
well known that they exist by
means of pilfering and stealing.

DEvoTEs TINE TO OFFICE
Elihu Root Resigns as Director from
Number of Financial Institutions-AS-
sumes Secretaryship Without Being
Allied With Corporate Interests.

New York, Aug. ll.--Secretary oi
State Elihu Root, who recently entered
President Roosevelt's cabinet, has, say.
the Times today, severed all connection
with number OF financial institutions
of which he was formerly director. Mr.
Root recently resigned, it became known
yesterday, from the boards OF the Nor.
ton Trust company, the National Bank
of Commerce, the Continental Fire In.
suranee company, the Title Guaranty L
Trust company and several other cor.
porations.
This action was taken. the Times con.
tinues, in order that he might assume
the secretaryship OF state without being
in any way allied with corporate inter
ests. In conversation with his asso-
ciates, he is said to have expressed the
opinion that it was better for him to
be free of his former connection with
these institutions as a director and for
this reason he resigned from them all.
Mr.. Root had been a director Of some
OF these institutions for a number of
years, including the period when he was
secretary Of war. Inquiry among his
former fellow directors failed to reveal
Mr.. Roots reason for differentiating be-
tween the two positions in the cabinet

business affairs.
