Simple Scotch and English Methods
For Preservation Explained.
Consul Maxwell Blake. writing from
Dunfermllne, says Of the simple meth
DDS used In Great Britain 10 keep fruit
and eggs fresh
"A correspondent in stirlingshire
writes me that he has recently con-
Quoted some successful experiments in
reference to the packing Of fruit for
transit without the aid OF refrigera-
ton, his method being simply TO pluck
the fruit at height Of sun. TO avoid all
adhering dampness, and Immediately
pack Ia prepared cases containing
granulated sugar. Care must be taken
that the sugar utilized for the pur-
pose is also quite devoid Of moisture,
and the cases should be so construct
ed as to be as nearly as possible Inn
porvious to atmospheric vapors. Both
the sugar and the cases, as may be
inferred. should be designed for and
admit Of constant reuse.
THE great huctuatlon In the price
OF fresh eggs In Great Britain. ranging
from Is cents dozen in summer TO
from 60 to 75 cents a dozen In winter
and produced with difficulty even
then gives popularity to the econom-
Ical practice Of aruhcially preserving
them during the cheap season. the
most successful method employed by
the householder being as follows
"Mix together Ia an earthenware
Jar nine parts u boiled water. which
has been thoroughly cooled and one
part OF glass water Glass water IS
obtained BY fusing two parts Of quartz

THE proportions used for the lime

gallons Of water, four Of lime and one

hours, then pour It over the eggs in

ton; otherwise the solution win lose
its strength. The eggs preserved In
this way become rough and brittle and
must be handled carefully when taken
ont for use.
THE popular method Of preserving
eggs BY cold storage Ia the United |
States is not at all general in this
country, and it Is rather surprising
that more has not been done along
these lines.
When eggs are only required to be
preserved for two or three months
they keep very well packed in dry salt
or bran. The meat of the egg may
shrink and rattle within the she'll
when shaken, but its edibllity is not
impaired. Coating the egg with vase
line or butter win also keep it for
short time. or any application which

More careful attention should be

THE THEATRES
SMITHS.

The company which is presenting the sensational melodrama, The Montana Limited,'' for the first half of this week, with daily matinees, is an excel lent one, and the play is staged with exceptional realism. The story is well told, and as this is the first popular priced attraction to be seen here in a long time. the remaining performances this evening and tomorrow afternoon and evening will doubtless be witness ed by large audiences.
 There is no question about the popu- larity of grand opera, if 1t is properly presented with careful attention to the many little details that go to make music enjoyable to all. The Boston Opera Co. is an organization which has met with great favor in other cities where it has presented varied re- pertoire with unprecedented success. It haF been looked upon by music lovers as worthy of comparison with many
 more pretentious organizations al though the object of the management IS to give the public the benefit of high class productions at prices within reach of all Of all the operas sung by this company I'll Trovatore" is un- doubtedly the most popular and best known. It is one of the first grand operas ever sung and there is not a musician or a lover of music who has not heard ''The Anvil Chorus" "Mis- erere,'' Back to Our Mountains, and the other numbers from this opera. But while many know the music of the opera there are only a few who have ever seen this beautiful opera given with proper embellishments and sung by a cast of superior excellence like the Boston Opera Go. offer. An other thing to be considered is that I,3~ e,iv 1,n Tn, EFacp fish and the people are able to under stand what the singer is repeating as well as enjoy the music. The sale of seats is now on at the box office and no doubt a crowded house will greet the appearance of the company Thurs day evening.

 The Russian Symphony Society of New York whose orchestra appears with the Ben greet players in "A Mid summer Nights Dream next Monday evening, was organized for the purpose of acquainting the American public with the notable works of the com posers of the old and young Russian schools. performed in devotional spirit with the best possible artistic ensemble. An organization of seventy five men resulted, all musicians of sterling merit and wide experience in orchestral work Many of them had enjoyed either the friendship or the tutelage of the leading modern Rus sian composers and conductors. This season the society is giving a series of concerts of Russian music in Carnegie Hall. which have attracted a remark able subscription.
