How to Scent Eoos.

"Eggshells are porous" said the gro.
Ger. Remember that. John, and don't
pack eggs along with coffee the way j
saw you doing yesterday"
What difference does it maker" the
assistant asked.
This difference said the grocer
Anything aromatic, like coffee, makes
eggs taste if it is packed with them.
IL makes people think the eggs are bad
once l got a consignment of eggs
packed in mahogany sawdust. Well
sir, those eggs tasted life furniture
polish. I lost some trade through
them
Eggs often get contaminated from
being kept too close to strong cheese.
Or to onions, or to sauerkraut. Always
remember, John, that eggshells are
porous, that they acquire the flavor of
coffee or onions or cheese almost as
readily as butter does"

REPUBLICAN LEGISLATORS ARE
HOLDING CAUCUS AT cOLUM-
BUS, THIS AFTERNOON.
Carmi Thompson is Considered the
Strongest Candidate - Many
Others Want the Place.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, December 3d.
The speakership question of the lower
house of the state assembly is to b,
decided today and the republican
members of the house are here in full
force to attend the caucus, which mas
been called for this afternoon. Carm
Thompson is still considered the
strongest candidate for the speakership
James A. Walker of Stark county, is
strongly pushed by his friends, but his
chances are not considered particular
ly brilliant. F. F. Demutn of Paulding
county, is another candidate working
hard to win the plum. George Little
Of Greene county is said to be slight,
gaining while George A. Bassett OF
Lucas and William Roll of Warren
county are accredited with consider
able following. The friends of Mr.
Thompson claim that he has the prom
ise of enough votes to secure his cleo
ton on the first ballot, but this is not
generally credited. However, it is not
expected that there will be much
trouble in making the selection. The
situation may become somewhat SIM
plified, if the rumor proves to be true
that the seat of Representative De-
muth of Paulding county will be con,
tested. If that should be done it would
practically eliminate Mr.. Demuth from
the race. 1t is also stated that tn,
seat of Representative Louis H. Paine
of Toledo, would be contested.

The CoroniIIa for Window Gardens
Marian Meade. Illinois

This plant is one of the legumes. and
IN foliage and form Of flower resembles
tne garden pea. The flowers grow in
groups OF seven or eight blossoms. and
are rich yellow in color, very frag-
rant in the daytime, but odorless at
night. The plants are half-hardv.
evergreen shrubs from to 4 feet high.
and are suited for greenhouse or win
dow culture. They require constant
pinching back to keep them in good
shape, and besides producing a more
handsome plant this process furnishes
more new growth on which buds will
be formed. The plants do best in soil
composed of two thirds loan and ONE
third turfy peat or leaf mold. Thew re-
quire perfect drainage, but the roots
should never be allowed to become dry.
or the lower branches will lose their
leaves and the beauty of the plant be
lessened. 1t can be kept in a partially
dormant state during winter, and, in
early spring be brought into heat and
sunshine, when rapid growth will be
made and buds soon appear. Cuttings

TO CONSIDER JOINT RATE
RAILWAY COMMISSION TO TAKE
UP COMPLAINT OF PALOUSE
GRAIN SHIPPERS.

The question of establishing a joint
rate on wheat will come before the
railroad commission for formal hear
ing early in 1906.
The date for the hearing has not yet
been fixed and, in fact, the complaint
Of the shippers has not yet been filed.
The commission is advised, however,
that eastern Washington shippers are
now getting their material together
and will soon file a complaint alleging
that they are injured by the lack Of a
joint rate, says a dispatch from Olym-
pia to the Seattle Times.
The complaint will come from ship
pers who are located at non-competi-
tive points on the o. r. & N. in the Pa
louise country. These shippers, it is
known, purposely held back the COM
plant as to wheat rate to await the
outcome of the joint hearing at Colfax
involving coarse grains, coal, manufac-
modities
The railroad has already announced
that upon the filing of a proper COM
plant it will grant a hearing on the
subject.
Grain producers Of the Palouse coun-
try who nave been long in the business
declare that the difference between
Portland and Puget Sound prices this
year is greater than ever before, and
for the first time in the history of
wheat shipping the same experience
exists this year between prices offered
for wheat on the o. r. & N. tracks
and those offered on the Northern Pa
cific tracks in competitive points as be-
tween non competitive points on the
two railroads. This is said to be due
t othe hard and fast agreement be-
tween the Portland and Puget Sound
buyers who have formed what is
known as the wheat buyers combine

Won't Pay the Price.

In other words, many wheat produc-
ers who ship their product from CON-
petitive points and who have been
accustomed to secure the same prices
on the o. r. & N. tracks as on the
Northern Pacific tracks, have deposited
their wheat in the warehouses of Port
land buyers and find, when ready to
sell, that the Portland buyers will not
pay the same price in the same town
that prevails among the Tacoma and
Seattle buyers.
One instance is related by a wheat
farmer VINO ships from Garfield. He
deposited this year 1000 bushels OF
wheat in a Kerr, Clifford & Co. ware
house in Garfield, on the same line of
the o. r. & N. When ready to sell a
few days ago the agent for the Port
land company offered him SO cents per
bushel A Puget Sound buyer, who
was in the buyers combine, offered SIS
cents if the grain were delivered to
the Northern Pacific tracks. A track
or Independent buyer. representing the
home consumption market Of Puget
Sound, offered Sc 1-2 cents delivered at
a warehouse on the Northern Pacific
tappears that California just at pres
ent is short of wheat and another track
buyer having connections with a San
Francisco house offered SIS cents for the
grain as it stood in the warehouse. This
offer was accepted, as to transfer to
the Northern Pacific would have cost
the owner cent and half per bushel
1t is said that many wheat growers
have sold their wheat to Portland buy
ers without being aware that Puget
Sound buyers in the same competitive
shipping locality would pay more for
their wheat In view of past expert
ences the quotations given them were
presumed to be uniform among all
buyers.

Blouse or shirt Waist.

No matter how many fancy shirt
waists a woman may have. she always
finds a place for an additional plain
one, and this model is so exceptionally
attractive as to be sure of being includ-
ed in the list. AS illustrated, the ma
terial is white dotted Madras, but the
waist is II we'll adapted to almost all
waistings, and can be made up effect
lively in any of the cotton and linen
materials of the present season, in the
wash f1annels that are so popular for
cooler days, and in the simpler silk
waistings.
The model is an eminently simple
one. and can be made either with or
without the applied yoke at the back.
The back is plain. simply drawn down
in gathers at the waist line, but the
fronts are laid in three narrow pleats
at the top of each four at the waist
line, but if preferred they can be left
free at the waist line and adjusted to
suit the individual. The sleeves are

spring is better liked and none is better
suited to the fashionable soft materials.
The M illustrated is most graceful and
attractive, and is adapted to many COM
binations. AS shown, the material is
chiffon yelling, %hydrangea blue in color,
combined with cream lace over chiffon,
but it would be equally effective made
of any other soft wool, or from the
many fashionable thin silks, either
with lace or contrasting silk for the
chemisette and cuffs. Also it can be
BILE, embroidery OF lace, as preferred,
being used for chemisette and cuffs.
The lining is smoothly fitted and
closes at the centre front. The chemi-
settle is arranged over it, and can be
rendered transparent by cutting away
beneath when that effect is desired.
The waist itself is full, shirred to give
the band effect. The sleeves are pc
culiarly graceful and shirred to form
three puffs, but can be varied by being
left without the shirrings, forming sin
gle puffs. At the waist is a shaped
belt.
The quantity of material required for
the medium size is five and three
fourth yards twenty-one, five yards
twenty-seven, or three and one-fourth
yards forty-four inches wide, with one
and three-eighth yards of ~all-over lace,
and fve-eigllth yard Of silk for belt.
