The new time card of the st. Paul

be there by Sept. 1st.
The laying of the corner stone of
the St. Mary's church was done with

dressed in white, having been con

St. Paul, the price of wheat in Mil
waukee has advanced 38 cents. This

A poultry farm, whether ducks,
geese, chickens or turkeys, be the
speciality, accumulates a large and
malodorous surplus of eggs that re-
fuse to develop into fowl. The average
person would suppose that if there
is anything on earth that is utterly
worthless it is a rotten egg. Mil
lions of stale eggs are used every
year in preparing leather dressing
for gloves and bookbinding an in
dustry that is largely carried on in
the foreign tenement houses of New
York and other large cities. They
are also used in manufacturing dis
infectants, and the shells are made
into fertilizers. The eggs that have
not yet lost their virtue have other
uses besides the more common ones
for culinary purposes. 1t is esti-
mated that fully 100000 dozen
are used by wine CHARTERS, dye
manufacturers and in the prepare
ton of photographers dry plates.
