Senators Much Alike.

Senator Simmons. OF North Carolina.
and Senator Taliaferro. OF Florida, look
enough alike to be twin brothers.
They are about the same size and
build: each has heavy crop OF hair.
which is kept closely trimmed. and
their short, stubby mustaches are
much alike. Both have dark eyes
and there Is probably not two pounds
difference in their respective weights.
II 1t we're not for the fact that the
Florida senator has few more gray
hairs in his head than his North Caro-.
lima colleague It would be almost i'm.
possible for the senate employees to
tell them apart.

SOME HINTS ABOUT EGGS.
Popular Time for Cookine-How Their
Freshness May Be Judged.

The fresher eggs are the longer
time they require for boiling. In tim
ing the boiling remember that tney
should be put into water already boil
ing in the same pan or skillet.
To boil them very hard in order to
slice them or prepare them for a
mayonnaise they should cook for ten
minutes. For eating the soft-boiled
egg is supposed to be the most di.
gestible. and this is boiled for from
three to five minutes.
One of the best ways to judgs the
freshness of eggs is to place then IN
a pan of cold water. Those that sink
soonest are the freshest. Stale or
added eggs always float on the sur
face. Upon breaking an egg II the
white and yolk are not clearly de-
fined and separated. no matter how
carefully the shell has been broken
the egg is not good and should be dis
carded. Cor eggs the least bit on color
will spoil good cooking.

fraternity, but, taking place April
l, it will result much sooner than
has been generally expected.
1t has long been figured that
when the Trinity and Brazos was
completely and placed in full oper-
alton, through service in connec-
ton with the Denver road would
be established. Further, it has
been the current belief that the
Legislature would sooner or later
be asked to permit the actual con-
solidation Of the two lines.
The ST. Louis, Brownsville and
Mexico will play part, however,
that is rather of the unexpected
nature.
w. E. Green, the man who will
be made vice president and general
manager OF the three lines, accord
ing to the information of most
reliable source, has been vice pres
ident and general manager of the
St. Louis and Southwestern for a
number of years, and is considered
one of the shrewdest and most
capable railroad managers in Texas.
His selection for the important
created position will not be surpris-
ing to those familiar with with his
record and attainments.
His life story is but repetition
of what an am bilious, energetic,
faithful young man can accomplish.
Mr.. Green's career had its origin
in the train crew department of
railroad work. He has swung a
brakeman s lantern and performed
the general work of the trainman.
His most notable service probably
was in clearing the Chicago yards
