About EQqs.

In hens egg only one-ifth of the
substance is nutritious, one-ninth part
is refuse, and the remainder, the great
er portion, is water.
White shelled eggs are not quite as
good as yellow ones. for they contain
Il trifle more water and little less fat.
But your puryeyor knows this and fire.
quently colors his white eggs with cof-
fee.
Judged by the amount of nutrimcnt,
goose's egg is the most valuable.
Next in order are ducks, guinea fowls,
hens, turkeys and plovcrs' Eggs con
tain large quantity of sulphur which
is purifying TO the blood and good for
the complexion.
10 get the best egg you must feed
your fowl on grain, and to cook it in
the most digeStible way you mast not
boil the water. Heat the water to $50
degrees and leave the egg in it for ten
minutes. You will then digest every
morscl. But if YOU boil it for three
minutes no less than onc-twelfth Of
it will fail to be digestcd. Thus if You
eat two eggs boiled for three minutes
every day YOU waste five dozen in n
year.-London Mail.

What might have happened next?
Who can say? But the aStOniShCd wo-
man dropped the pan with clang up
on the rock. ana the leopard took one
leap downhill The pan followed, and
the lcopards downward leaps became
longer and swiftcr as the pan bounded
after 1t from rock to rock
When last seen the leopard had just
achieved leap of about $50 feet to

whirlcd about 500 feet over it on the
opposite side. The leopard would have
eaten the old woman with pleasure,

in his wake from the top of the IIima-
layas to the plains below was some
thing which he could not facc.-Lon-

SAVE the RECIPE
Says Hone-Made Mixture Is Easily
Prepared. and Cures Weak
Kidneys and Bladder.

Hers is simple home made
mixture rs given by an eminent
authority on Kidney diseases. who
makes the statement that it will
relieve almost any case of Kidney
trouble if taken before the stage
Of Bright's disease. He states
that such symptoms as lame back
pain in the side. frequent desire to
urinate, especially at night: pain
full and discolored urination, are,
readily overcome. Here is the re.
cipe. Try it.
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Kargon,
one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake
well in a bottle and take in tea
spoonful doses after each meal
and again at bedtime.
A well-knowtl druggist here in
town is authority that these ingre-
dients are all harmless and easily
mixed at home by shaking well in
bottle. This mixture has pc
culiar healing and soothing effect
upon the entire Kidney and Urin-
ary structure, and often oyercomes
the worst forms of Rheumatism in
just little while. This mixture
is said to remove all blood dis
orders and cure the Rheumatism
by forcing the Kidneys to filter
and strain from the blood and
system all uric acid and foul, de-
composed waste matter, which
cause these Affections. Try it if
you aren't well. Save the pre-
scription.

What Would You Do7

In case of burn or scald what
would do to relieve the pain? Such
Mjuries are liable to occur in any
family and everyone should be pre-
pared for them. Chamberlain's Salve
applied on soft cloth will relieve the
pain almost instantly, and unless the
injury is very severe one, will cause
the parts to heal without leaving a
scar. For sale by Ikelman Bros.

ODD poRrENTs AND SIGNS.
supsrstitisns That Hass Lsns Bees
prsvaisat Among NeSrsss.

Among the colored people Of the
south every commonest event has
its accompanying sign or supersti-
tion.
Whether these all date back to
the African savage ancestors of the
race is doubtful, as very many Of
them are similar to those current
among English, Scotch and Irish
peasants. 1t is probable that in &C
quiring the English language the
newly imported negroes imbibed
the superstitions in vogue, among
the white people of the south at
that time
Signs OF weather are many, as is
natural, and some of them are very
curious. IL cat sneezes or if she
washes her head behind her ear it
will rain. If she rubs against OBJ
jects or is especially frisky it fore
bodies wind.
In the winter if COW lows in the
evening it will snow before morn
ing. II a COW stops in walking and
shakes her foot there is bad weather
behind her. When the cattle are
driven to pasture, if the bull goes
first it will rain.
If dog eats grass in the morning
or if he digs a hole in the ground it
is sign Of bad weather. Pigs are
believed to be able to "see the
wind" II they run about and
squeal without apparent cause it is
a sign of cold and stormy weather.
Money carried for three days in
. mans shoe may safely be wager
ed. 1t is sure to win.
The locust tree is especially lia-
BILE to stroke of lightning. Some
say Judas hanged himself on that
tree. Others suppose the crown of
thorns to have been made from it.
1t is terribly unlucky to burn for
firewood tree which has been
struck by lightning. This is sure to
bring misfortune upon the house
hold.
Shoes have many portents con
nected with them. If a heel is lost
from the shoe it forebodes a death
in the family "before the year is
out" If new shoes are accidentally
dropped before they are worn you
will "surely step into trouble with
them on your feet"
New shoes must never be placed
on q shelf higher than the owners
head, as it brings bad luck, and one
shoe should never he polished with
out the other for fear of bad ac-
cident or perhaps sudden death
