Driving along ahead, oblivious OF

at him: Eli. there! Look out! The

Turning in by the curb, the farmer
watched the hose cart, salvage wagon
and engine whiz past. Then he turned
out into the street again and drove on.
Barely had he started when the hook
and ladder came tearing along. The

to smithereens and sending the farmer

keenina Surplus EGGS.

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 shell
when shaken, but it's edibility is not
impaired. Coating the egg with vase
line or butter will also keep it for a
short time. or any application which
effectively seals the pores Of the shell
and excludes air will prolong the
freshness of eggs If the egg is even
momentarily submerged in boiling wa
ter the albumen thereby becomes suffi-
GENTLY coagulated to prevent the en-
trance of air. In some of the rural
districts in England and Scotland eggs
for home consumption are smutted
over with a mixture of sulphur and
lampblack. cheap and effective pre-
servative. But the limewater mixture
is best for general purposes.

said. sis renowned gourmet. They
talk all over OAK of Gustav's way OF
grilling a lamb outlet. 1t is good
way. but expensive. My brother al
ways grills his own chops. He won't
trust the work to any one else. He
does it like this: He lays three chops,
one on top of the other, on the grill
Seated before the fire. he turns the
chops over and over till the two outer
ones are done to a very dry brown
The middle one only is the one he eats
All, but it must be delicious! 1t has
received, you see, all the rich, delicate
juices of the other two"
The guest sneered. "And does he
throw the other two away" he asked
ooh, no." the waiter answered. "He
gives them to his wife"
