Water Glass.

From time to time we receive in.
quiries relative to the use of water
glass as means for preserving eggs.
we can, without hesitancy, recon.
mend this as probably the best pre-
servative to be found, this being
proved by tests made both in this
country and in Europe. Water glass
is really soluble glass. 1t has two
forms in commerce, one known as
slllcate of sodium, and the other as
slllcate of potassium. This may be
purchased in the form Of powder. or
IN the form of a liquid which has the
taste OF syrup. 1t has long been used
Tor rendering fabrics incombustible.
and for hardening petrified woods. We
believe that many Of our readers
should give this trial. There should
be about ten times as much water as
water glass, and this water glass
should be thoroughly mixed with the
water. This may be placed in a jar
and the eggs placed within it, but they
should not come nearer to the ton
than two inches. As water evaporates
very rapidly, and would soon leave
the tops Of the eggs uncovered and
exposed to the air, the jar should be
kept tightly covere6.-Farmers' Re.

came known in school and Sunday
school as "a little liar" Her parents
were dreadfully worried about her and
made strenuous efforts to correct the
bad habit. One afternoon her mother
overheard an argument with her play
mate, Willie Bangs, who seemed tc
finish the discussion by saying emphat
lcally: I'm older than you, cause my
birthday comes first, in May, and yours
don't come until September"
"Oh, of course your birthday comes
first" sneeringly answered little Mel

first. l remember looking at the an
gels when they were making you."
Come here, Nellie, come here in

New Colors in Poultry.

We hear a great deal about new col.
ors in poultry, nearly all of the stand
ard breeds now having buff or some
othe~ color grated onto them. These
new colors are very fancy and very
pretty, but the farmer should under.
stand that they are not at all so en-
during as the old colors, so far as
their continuance in the flock is con-
cerned. Thus the new colors do not
re-appear in the young birds very
largely, and it would take very many
years to fix these colors so that they
would re-appear as often as do the
standard colors. The farmer, when
he buys fowls, needs something useful.
If he is to breed to a standard. he
wantsa standard that is not variable.
These new colors make it very din.
cult for the farmer to breed his flocks
true to color. Unless he wants to
produce breeding birds for sale, or
show birds, we see no reason why he
should forsake the old'tcolors.

with a sudden gesture of petulance.
His wife watched him closely for
several seconds, through contracted
lashes. Looking at you now," she re-
marked laughingly, lone would actu-
ally suppose you to be jealous"
THAT is utter nonsense
Being jealous?" she hazarded.
"Certainly."
After an instant's reflection, Mrs.
Preston rose, and coming over to
where her husband sat, bent over the
back of his chair and touched his
cheeks with the tips of her fingers.
Jack she began in a queer little
tone, isn't there anything that could
make you jealous about me- Don't you
love me enough?" she added wist-
fully.
Il love you too much, that is it," he
responded swiftly
"Of course we've argued all this be-
IOre-and always with the self-same
result. But l had commenced to
hope"
"Yes?"

Her husband was always the same
But the strain had commenced to
tell upon her. On more than one oc-
casion she was on the point of blurt-
ing out the whole thing, but prudence
held her back. And SO the day.
passed.
One morning Preston announced his
intention of going duck hunting. Mrs.
Preston watched him feverishly, as he
made a few hasty preparations, ex-
changing his coat for a shooting jack
ing cap.
When the last echo of the horses
hoofs had died away, she went back to
her husbands dressing room with a
beating heart. It was'the work of a
minute to empty the pockets of his
coat. There were several letters,
some memoranda and box of
matches.
Mrs. Preston examined letter after
letter with eager eyes, her fingers
trembling beyond resistance as she
went through them.
Yes, the anonymous letter was
there; it had been opened and read,
then-and ignored!
All at once the door opened and
closed and Preston himself came
quickly into the room.
I forgot my ammunition-the most
important thing he began, then
stopped short in the middle of the
floor.
"Jack!''
He answered her with surprised
look, taking in the situation at a
glance.
Il found this letter." she said, cold
ly. What do you think of it,"
What do l think of it," he asked,
coming closer. "Why-I haven't real
ly thought much about it, He smiled
Then you care so little"
*Things of that sort have a. way of
not worrying me much, Kitty" He
took the letter from her hand as he
spoke, and held it up SO that the light
could shine through. Did you exam
inc the water mark on this?" he ask
ed, giving her cheek a playful pinch
of depreciation.
Mrs. Preston felt her heart lurch
and tears of vexation crowd, smarting,
to her eyes. 1--WE haven't corner on
stationery, have We, Jack?" she ask
ed, with a lame attempt at indigna-
tion., But Preston shook his head and
smiled again.
And Mrs. Preston is still at sea.

left-Handed Artists,

To that list of left-handed artists
may be added Mr.. F. II. Townsend,
the deft draughtsman in black ard
white, who has lately become art ed
itor of Punch. But Mr.. Townsend is
one of the ssemi-left-handed." And of
these there are more than you might
suppose. Many of us, on watching
ourselves, will find that On this or that
occasion we use the left hand when
the right would be expected. Mr.
Townsend draws with his left hand
but he deals cards with his right. This
writer, being in all other respects
right-handed, deals cards with the
left The real quality between the
hands would probably be established
from many experiences.-London

WAS WELL REWARDED,
Twenty Doll ar "erub stake' Advanced

dixie Repaid by Diamond Worth
Many Times the Amount Loaned.

Bread cast upon the waters has re-
turned, not a hundredfold, but almost
equal to that, to Fred w. Bender, a
telegraph operator for the Southern
railway.
A loan of $40 which he made in 1899
to Howard Thompson in San Fran
cisco has been repaid so many times
over that Mr. Bender is not quite GER
tain just how much he has,
The >payment was not in cash. It
came last week in the form of a dia-
mond of the first water, weighing al
most karats, and estimated to be
worth about $500.
Dawson City, where Mr.. Thompson is
mining gold. He has been successful,
and, feeling that his success was large
ly due to the loan made him years
ago, he returned it fiftyfold.
Mr.. Bender was in the Philippines
with the United States army for two
years, going over just after the war
with Spain. He returned to the United
States the latter part of 1899, with
money in his pocket. He had drawn
back pay and allowance for clothing
and equipment, and had several hun
dred dollars
Il am broke, old man, and am try
ing to get to the Klondike," said
Thompson, when he was thrown with
Mr.. Bender during the few days the
latter remained in San Francisco. Il
need about $40, and with that I could
get to Seattle, and from there l can
work my way up to Dawson or some
where in the gold country I can
make my strike once l am up there
I know"
Sure, can let you have the TWEEN
ty, said Mr.. Bender, who was feeling
good over getting back to his home
country, and who did not care much
for money anyhow. Here, take it
and welcome. I hope you will hit a
big mine, like Cripple Creek. Wish
could go with you, but | have to hit
for home"
The two separated; :Nlr. Bender came
to Louisville, tired of the army, and
went to work for the Southern rail
way. He had enough of the Philip
pines and wanted no further fighting
He forgot the loan which he had
made and really did not expect to
hear from Thompson again The
years passed and nothing was heard
in any way from the Klondike. Mr.
Bender did not know even whether
or not he had reached Dawson City.
The other day a package was re-
ceived from the Klondike. Mr.. Ben.
der opened it and found inside big
diamond, ;5littering and glistening like
ball of fire. It was a beautiful speci.

from Thompson. He said he had just

and worked all day. When he went
home at night he wound the clock, but
did not bother with the alarm, think
ing that it would go off automatically
The next morning he slept until
O'Clock, and when he went to the office
the boss gave him his pay and told
him to leave. Mike went home mad
sWore at the alarm clock and finally
took the back off. A lot of springs
wires and wheels fell out, and, last OF

in surprise, and then burst out:
