KEEPING FRESH EGGS.
How They Can Be Preserved In Good
Condition For Months,

II may be news to many housewives
that at the cost of only cent a dozen.
plus a little time and trouble. they can
keep fresh eggs for several months and
still have them come up to the strictly
fresh standard, says the Washington
Post. The spelling of eggs is declared
by scientific men to be due to the en-
trance of air, carrying germs of decom-
position through the shells. Normally
an eggshell has coating of mucilagi-
nous matter, not perceptible to the
touch, but quite sufficient to make the
shell air tight.
This coating will keep out germs for
quite awhile especially if the egg is
carefully handled. But it is sure to
become softened in time, either by
washing or by friction with a case or
with other eggs. Then the germ laden
air gets in and the eggs begin to spoil.
This explains why eggs packed in
lime or salt or placed in cold storage
are very far from being fresh when
they come on the market. According
to experiments made at the govern
ment station in North Dakota there
really is one method of keeping fresh
eggs which does preserve their fresh
ness.
BY this method eggs which were
packed in August were opened three
and one-half months later and still
appeared to be perfectly fresh" In
most packed eggs after little time the
yolk settles to one side, and the egg is
then inferior in quality. But in these
three months old eggs the yolk was
in its normal position, and "in taste
they We're not to be distinguished from
fresh, unpacked eggs"
This Is worth knowing, if it is true
And there are other reports to the
same effect German eXperimenters
tried twenty methods of preserving
eggs. The three which We're found
most satisfactory were coating them
with vaseline, preserving them in lime
water and preserving them in water
glass. The vaseline was tedious, and
the limewater gave the eggs disa-
greeable odor and taste.
So that Of all the twenty methods
employed the use Of water glass SEEM
ed to be the best. There Is one test
Of packed eggs with which most cooks
are familiar. Such eggs do not beat
up we'll for cakemaking or for frosting
BY this test the eggs kept in water
glass solution seemed quite equal to
the average fresh eggs Of the market.
Water glass Is cheap product that
should not cost more than so cents a
gallon. One gallon would make enough
solution to preserve fifty dozen eggs.
so that the cost would be only a cent
dozen.
Water glass is a sodium or potassium
silicate. TO make the solution use ten
quarts Of pure water that has been
thoroughly boiled and then cooled. Add
one quart Of water glass to the ten
quarts Of water.

PoHerfuI PIay.

A great many Lexington people
went to the Devil Friday night. And
contrary to all damaging reports
hitherto circulated concerning that
gentleman, all who went to see him
Friday were more than satisfied
with their fate. The Devil in this
case was a real man and he was the
principal character Ia the powerful
drama Of that name which has been
the talk OF the theatre goers all
over the country this season. 1t is
the greatest hit of the year and is
attracting world wide interest. And
last night at the New Grand the peo-
pie Of Lexington were given an OPP
p%ortunity to see what has only been
seen in a few cities around New
York. And an immense crowd took
advantage Of the opportunity. Every
available seat in the house held an
occupant and part of the audience
occupied che space with the S. r.. o..
sign hung on it.
The story, which is one of the most
peculiar tales of love ever written,
appeared in serial form in the Kansas
City Star some time ago and those
who read it at the time were much
better prepared to appreciate the
play. The play is Of Hungarian ORR
gan having sprung from the pen of
MI. Ferenc Molnar. II is a tale of a
childhood love which had smouldered
for six years and at last is revived
by a strange, cynical, snakelike gen
tlemen with a handsome face ex-
pressing sardonic |jubilatiou in every
feature; a man seemingly from the
other world, a verltible Devil in eve
ming clothes, The playin of this part
taxes the talents of any actor, how
ever accomplished, to the utmost.
This difficult role was taken by Mr..
Oscar Graham, the leading man of the
company, who has attracted so much
attention of late on account of his
misplaced ability and who, by the
way, attempted the part with only a
weeks preparation. Mr.. Grahan''
depletion of this role amounted al
most to genius and opened the eyes
of those to whom this was his first ap
pearance. The support ing compan,
was universally capable.
