Coddled Eggs.-Until you have eaten

delicious a soft boiled egg can be
Have your water boiling and have
ready an earthen bowl or jar of some
thickness, which you have previously
made hot. Place your eggs in the bowl
and pour on the boiling water. Then
cover the bowl with a tight cover and

will be done, soft boiled to a consis
tency that it is impossible to gain in
the ordinary way. One beauty of this
plan is that the eggs are placed on

a stove or of getting up from the table

At the station, while waiting for
the train, Dick had his FIRST misgiv-
ings. Kerrigan would borrow a dol
lar Of him and treat the crowd, and
being denied the pleasure, threat
ened to shake him." and only
changed his mind when he was
sternly directed by Dick to clear
out" Then Dick delivered a short
lecture In the station on the wisdom
Of temperance. and advised those
who would not take orders from
him and submit to his management
Of the Job. to stay behind. He would
much rather go home alone, and
was little ashamed OF the COM
pany he was now in. This. with
Dicks known superior education
and habitual correctness of speech,
impressed them. They reproved
kerrigan and vowins good conduct
and obedience, passed through the
gate and boarded the train. which.
at one o'clock in the afternoon,
landed them at Allville.
The first thing, OF course. was
something to eat. and Dick mar

then, spying the party at the table,
bounded toward them.
