With His Children.
One day at Peterhof, the Russian

wood on the shores Of the Baltic. | saw
the Gar, from distance, romping on
all tours with his children on the rich
grass, amid peoples and hollyhocks.
The Czarina, half-hidden behind a tree
was preparing to take a photograph of
the delightful scene when solemn
official appeared, The Gar perceived
him, stood up, and looked at the dccu-
ment which the official held in his
hand. Then he slowly walked to the
palace, but on the way he turned to
the disappointed children and made q
sign which clearly meant: 81 will

time, but he did not return.

" Blessing of the Neva.'' He was
surrounded by officers and the higher
clergy. The Metropolitan of st

in spite of his forty-one years and the
difficulties of his life Nicholas H. re-

the gaze direct, and there is much
sweetness and charm in his voice.
The Cars Love for Music.
Music is one of his favorite recrea-
lions, and the songs he has written
and composed are far from Indifferent.
The Gar has pleasant tenor voice,
and often accompanies himself on the
balalaika, the triangular three-string
ed guitar of the Russians. He also
takes a keen interest in tennis, golf,
skating, and cricket.

formerly were just as skeptical as to

liant who had iourneyed in the lands
of the Hottentots and Kafirs. When
the explorer referred to the animals

A magistrate who has taken upon
himself the difficult task of adjusting
domestic troubles says that petty
squabbles break up more homes than
afiinities ever could do. He has no
mercy for wife-beaters and is skepti-
cal concerning the influence of So
called soulmates on the average mid
die class household, which he stoutly
maintains is moral. In the strongest
terms he condemns nagging and
squabbling and sounds warning
against the effects of overwork. He is
not the only person who believes that
in ordinary cases of faithlessness the
cause can be found in cloudy home
atmosphere. Bickering is shamefully
common and the causes too trivial to
give an excuse for wasting breath.

HOW TO PRESERVE EGGS.
For Keeping Eggs in Small Quantities
Water Glass Is Best.

Water glass is claimed to be the
best egg preservative of all. aside
from cold storage. For the person
who desires to put up only limited
number of eggs cold storage is imDrac-
teal At various experiment stations
water glass has been successfully
used and it has been found to he
cheap simple and successful. Water
glass Tor sodium salicate) can be OBJ
tanned from nearly any druggist.
There are several kinds of water glass.
but for egg preserving purposes only
the best should be used and the cost
should not exceed so cents a gallon. A
large stone jar is the best vessel in
which to put the preservative. and be-
fore using the jar it should be
thoroughly cleaned with hot water. To
ten quarts of water that has been
boiled and cooled add one quart of
water glass and set the jar in a cool,
dark place, covering tightly to prevent
evaporation.
Each day as the eggs are gathered
drop them carefully into the solution.
To keep well the eggs must be strict
ly fresh-not over three days old
and comparatively clean. An egg
with a badly soiled shell should not be
used, and under no circumstances
should the eggs be washed before plac-
ing in the solution, as the washing
process opens up the pores of the
shells. which is detrimental to the
keeping qualities of the eggs Be sure
that there are fully two inches of the
solution covering the eggs at all times
thai is, that as the jar is filled the
eggs do not come to within two inches
of he top OF the solution Eggs pre-
served by this method will keep nice.
