HOW TO EAT RAW EGGS.

Believers in the raw egg diet contend
that the egg should be eaten as soon
after it is laid as possible. Several
different methods of serving the egg
r in vogue, the most popular Of
which is with vinegar.
A very little portion of the vinegar
is required in a glass merely to give
a Zest to the flavor of the eggs. says
What-to-Eat. When served with vim
egar a drop of the fluid is first poured
into an empty wine glass. Into this
the egg is broken. Then the top is
covered with another drop or two of
vinegar and a sprinkling Of salt and
pepper. The egg is then swallowed
whole.
Persons who have not tried the diet
which the egg slips down the throat. as
we'll as the pleasant taste it leaves in
the mouth. 1t is declared that half Of
the benefit of the egg is lost when the
yolk is broken in eating. The eggs
should be eaten before meals, especial
ly before breakfast, but not every day.
An everyday diet is said to be dam
gerOus because of the superabundance
Of sulphur it would produce in the
system. 1t is advisable to discontinue
the diet for rs much as one or two
weeks at a time and then to keep it
up steadily foF a few days OF a week
again.

MESH WIRE

Among the most useful of kitchen
conveniences are the little open-mesh
wire baskets that are generally used
only for frying things in deep fat. Few
housekeepers realize their value as
time savers in other directions. The
best way to wash fruit is to place it
in one Of these little baskets and hold
it under the faucet. Lettuce, water
cress and other salads are easily
washed in this way and may be
drained without removing from the
basket.

FOR HIM TOO.

A churchman tells about a time he
was travelling through the country
with an evangelist. At a village in
Ohio a meeting was held at which an
announcement was made that the pro-
ceeds of collection to be taken would
be turned over to a missionary fund.
In the audience was a man who
was publicly known to oppose foreign
missions, and who was also suspected
of being an agnostic of the deepest
dye. The churchman in the course of
the collection passed this man the box.
The other pushed it away with a sheer
on his face. A sudden inspiration came
to the churchman, and, thrustfng the
box under the fellows nose, he said:
