loaf. The crust forms natural cover
ing which prevents rapid loss Of mois,
ture, 50 that if the end of the loaf is
protected the bread will keep in good
condition for much longer period than
if left exposed. The device referred TO
consists of flat plate of a contour con

A German Egg Test.

A new and simple method for testing
eggs IS published in the German papers.
1t is based upon the fact that the air
chamber in the fiat end of the egg in
creases with age. If the egg is placed
in a solution of common salt il will
show an increasing inclination TO hoar
with the long axis vertical. by watch
-iag this tendency the age of the egg
can be determined almost to a day. \
fresh egg lies in a horizontal position at
the bottom Of the vessel; an egg from
three to FIVE days old shows an eleva-
ton of the fiat end. so that its long avis
forms an angle of 20 degrees. aud an egg
month old floats vertically upon the
pointed end.
This test may be useful to housekeep-
ers in the egg season.-BOston Globe

Tor. And generally the parlor was a
most useless place, but it was the pride

lady of the house insisted that he should
see her parlor.' Her husband smiled
good-naturedly, and they both led the
way to a big front room which was
locked. the door was unlocked and the
''parlor' got its first fresh air in months.
The little family had expended much
money on the "parlor." Everything was
new but the stuffed birds under glass

red roses. One felt like stepping into
