Rug and Curtain Holder.

When beating carpets or rugs on the
line the housewife is presented with a
problem. To prevent the rug slipping
out of position, after being adjusted, a
Massachusetts man has devised a
holder. 1t is made of strong spring
wire, the upper portion being curved
to fit over the rug. In connection with
the four lower corners-which, on &C.
count of the tension of the spring
wire, are inclined to come together
are prongs which force themselves in
to the rug. The operator has ample
opportunity to stand at a distance
from the rug and swing the beater
with as great force as desired.

Latest for the Watch.

Hang it from a narrow black velvet
ribbon about half way down the
bodice, just as locket would be worn.
At first the style looked trifle odd,
but people have been accustomed to it
by the gradually increasing size of the
lockets worn. The velvet ribbon is
fitted with rhinestone or cut steel
slides and clasp. There is something
very chic about the decoration and it
adds mighty to the smart girls cos
tune, particularly with a white outfit.

SAVING MONEY ON YOUR EGGS
A SUGGESTION FOR THRIFTY
HoUsEkEEPERs.
Simple Chemical Treatment Advised
For Preservation of Eggs BY the
Government Experts.

Housewives who are complaining of
the extraordinary high price of eggs
can, but little foresight, save them
selves many a penny and secure an
ample supply of good eggs at any sea-
son of the year with little trouble and
but slight expense, not exceeding one
cent a dozen.
This involves buying eggs during the
season of plenty and corresponding
low prices and preserving them with
water glass, which is merely popular
term for the chemical compounds of
potassium or sodium silicate.
There is no danger, at least so the
Washington experiment station ex-
perts declare. According to this au-
thority eggs can be kept in good CON
dition for home use at least eight
months by simply immersing them
in 10 per cent. solution of water
glass. Sometimes a weaker solution,
say per cent, is recommended, but
a series of experiments conducted at
the above station extending over a pc
riod of years indicates that not less
than 8, and preferably 10 per cent,
solution is safer.
1t is estimated that a pound of water
glass properly diluted is sufficient to
cover IL to Is dozen eggs and that the
cost of the pfeservative would not be
over one cent per dozen.
The eggs as they are gathered each
day, or as purchased, are put into a
stone crock and just enough solution
poured over them to cover them. An
Their feature of the preservation of
eggs bv the water glass method, which
of course, simply protects them from
the putrefactive processes set up
through bacteria, gaining access to the
eggs contents through the pores of
the shell, is the closure of such pores
so that after the eggs have been in
such a solution for several months
they may be taken out and will keep
several weeks without any appreciate
deterioration. OF course, the essential
feature of the method is to be positive
that the eggs, when put into the solu-
ton are absolutely fresh

All over this country in certain Grim.
fnai cases the "unwritten law Is made
the defense on which 1t relies for ac-
qnittal For instance, the celebrated
~rhaw case who murdered the archi.
tect, White, and the Strother brothers
who have Just been acquitted for the
killing of their brother-in-law. AS a
matter of fact, there is no unwritten
law. Judge Harrison wisely said in in.
structing the jury in the Strother case
that so far as any court in Virginia
is concerned there is no precedent on
the subject, If it meant that a man
can take into his own hands the right
ing of wrongs. The court simply
knows the law as ii is written. and to
that law alone will it adhere, making
no difference how great the proyoca.
ton no man is a law unto himself.
Such words as these are brave ones
indeed, and they should be needed.
When man so far forgets himself as
TO take the law into his own hands he
is bordering on anarchy, as this is
what it would eventually lead up to.

law is thing of the past the surer
the foundation will be upon which
rests the structure of all iurispru-
dence.

There seems to be quite boom

object of such a boost is not definitely
understood. That he has made a good
senator no one will deny, but that
right at the close o. congress he
should be favorably mentioned as a
candidate for president is somewhat
amazing. Perhaps his record entities

feel proud indeed if West Virginia

are afraid that such men as Fairbanks.

by and watch the honor Slip through

much too soon for anyone to correctly
foretell what a political convention
may do nearly two years hence. 1t

Business. and not political gossip, is
the chief order of the day. Scarcely a
week passes by without some new
firm starting in the real estate BUSH

quite a financial success. The recent
purchasing of real estate IN BACK

idence of something doing In that To-

much longer Aside from coal develop
ments, the limestone Industry Is con-

beside some of the larger deals
which are now being contaminated.
The extent Of this business cannot
with much accuracy be estimated.

operation here Is the candid opinion
Of those who are in position to

no one should think of leaving here,
