Preserving EGGS.

An experiment station in Germany
kept eggs eight months, testing 20
methods. Most of the eggs spoiled. but
all of those preserved with water glass,
lime, or vaseline were good at the end of
the period. The vaseline method is a
new one and consists simply of coating
the eggs with the petroleum product
and keeping them in a cool place. The
covering of the grease-like substance
keeps the air out of the pores. This
method requires little expense, a 10
cent bottle of vaseline being sufficient
to preserve ten dozen. if the substance
is heated until it is semi-liquid and the
eggs are rolled around in it Care should
be taken to see that every part of the
shell is covered. The vaseline also may
be applied cold.

THE CRUISE OF THE DOLPHIN.
The Great Juns<et Ship of the Navy to Go
On Tour of Inspection of the Navy
Yards.

Yards.
Summer incident at the Navy De-
partment, which has called forth the
usual cynical comment, has been the
preparations of the good ship Dolphin
for q cruise to the North Atlantic. She
is the great junket ship of the Navy,
and has taken more officials around On
free pleasure trips than any boat now
in commission. This time she is to
carry members of the House Naval
Committee in the last House on trip
of inspection to Eastern yards. OF
course, the Government is spending
large sums of money annually in the
maintenance and improvement of these
Navy Yards. beginning at Portsmouth
and Boston and extending far down the
Atlantic Coast. 1t is necessary that the
Committee on Naval Affairs should be
possessed of information at first hand
in legislating on such an important ap-
preparation bill as the Navy bill has
come to be. At the same time it is a
nice cool cruise for the committee to
take in the middle of August, and, of
course, no member of the committee
pays anything for the long and pleas
ant ocean sail on the Dolphin.
For several years she has hcen max
ing two annual cruises that have come
to be looked upon as warranted by Off
cial precedent. One of these is Spring
usually along in March and never later
than April. Mir. Justice Moody, of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
was one of the first to start this prac-
tice. AS Secretary of the Navy he used
to take party of prominent official
friends down to the West Indies every
Spring. Nomnally the cruise was for
an inspection of the naval station at
Guantanamo or something like it. To
he sure the Secretary and other Navy
authorities, including often Speaker
cannon. gained information for the ad-
vantage of the Government on these
trips.
But the West Indies teemed with
problems that the statesmen felt they
ought to study. They improved the
opportunity for studying the conditions
in Cuba. That assured them an oppor-
tunity of visiting Havana at the hight
of the pleasant Winter season. More.
over, the Secretary and his friends were
generally weary of official duties at
about the time the West Indian cruise
was proposed. 1t gave them splendid
chance to recuperate. Mr. Bonaparte,
as Secretary of the Navy, was not strong
on cruising, althO he used the Dolphil
for giving some official entertainments.
as did John ID. Long, when he was Sec
retary But Secretary Metcalf. who,
like Secretary Moody. was once a Con-
icSuii'u tHe west
cruises, which are likely to continue for
years.
During either July or August for sew
eral years the Dolphin has been utilizel
for jaunts along the New England
coasts, with congenial Congressional
spirits on board Speaker Cannon has
often been on these cruises of the Dol
phin in Northern waters. and it is not
unlikely that he will join the Commit
tee on Naval Affairs when their good
ship reaches the vicinity CT Boston.
While the Congressman are gathering
information for their guidance in MAX
ing up appropriation bills they have a
jolly good time in their own way an

last lifetime. Preliminary to putting

band about the forehead which is made
