METHOD OF PRESERVING EGGS
Most Effective Way of Keeping Them is to ln1merse Them In Solution
 of Sodium SiIicate.

(By R. NJ. WEST. Minnesota Experiment
 Station.)
 The primary principle to be ob- served in the preservation of eggs Is the protection of the interior from contact with the air. The most effec- tive way of doing this is to immerse them in a water solution of sodium silicate. usually known as water glass. Sodium silicate can be ob- ta1ned at any druggist at from 45 to to cents per gallon. One gallon should be sufficient for about 50 dozen eggs.
 Mix one part of the sodium silicate with from ten to twelve parts of wa. ter. Some water glass is so thick that. with this dilution, the eggs vii float. In such case. add enough more water to make them settle to the bottom of the liquid.
 Use only clear water from which the air has been removed by boiling Be sure that it is cold before mix ing it with the water glass.
 Pack the eggs in a jar or clear wooden keg. and add the preserving solution in sufficient quantity to cover the eggs. No part of the shell should be exposed to the air.
 The packed eggs should be kept cool. A cellar is the best place for storing them. Pack only strictly fresh eggs. Stale eggs will not keep for any length of time under any condi tions, and they may affect the fresh eggs which are packed with them.
 Do not wash eggs before packing them. Washing removes from the shell the mucilagenous coating which nature provides for their temporary preservation.
 Eggs preserved in this way retain their original fresh flavor perfectly they are not discolored, the yolk re tains its normal consistency for sev. eral months
 Other methods of preservation, though less satisfactory in their re suits. will keep eggs for from three to four months in such condition that they may be used for cooking pur- poses. A preserving mixture which has given fair results is made up ot 3h pounds of fresh lime mixed with AZ pounds of salt, and the whole dis solved in gallons of water.
 Eggs may be preserved fairly well for few months by packing dry in a of equal parts of salt and saw dust.

GIVING MEDICINE TO ANIMALS
Method of Dosing srutes With LIquids 10 Dangerous-Better Way Ia In
 Feed or Powders.
(By F. B. BLACK.3

.T never see man drench an ami nal with large doses of liquid med icine that I do not feel alarmed for it's life. It is easy to strangle an animal in this way because 1t Is i'm possible to swallow with the mouth open and if even small quantity Of the liquid goes down the windpipe death may quickly follow. It is bet ter and easier to give medicine in the feed or in powders by forcing open the mouth with an iron spoon and placing the powder on the back part of the tongue when it will quickly and easily be swallowed.

Memory as a Grace.

If the girls who rather pride them. selves on their inability to remember names and faces would know just how much difference it makes in their SO cial good times. they would cultivate the art of memory Immediately For memory is very largely a matter of training, and the girl or woman who can avoid the thousand awkward hap penings that make unhappy the life of the forgetful should by all means do so.
 It is neither kind nor courteous not to remember and recognize those whom you have once met. and the pleasure one can give by the remem- brance of little things, unimportant to all but themselves, about ones ac- quaintances is well worth any trouble involved in keeping them in mind.

COMPLICATED CASE

 '.If you can come and behave your self I shall be glad to have you with us for a month," wrote Miss Helen George of "The Sycamores," to Miss Fanny Lisle of the city.
 Miss Fanny Lisle arrived. It was necessary only to look at her to know that she had never behaved herself since she was ten years old, and didn't mean to begin at nineteen. She had never been arrested and sent to jail. Her misbehavior wasn't bad enough for that. It was mere mis- chief. It was in doing such daring things as dressing up in a suit of her brothers clothes and then ringing the front door bell and asking the mothers consent to court her own self with a view to matrimony. She had driven two young men-not to suicide or a lunatic ayslum, but into the moving picture business. She had once pretended to lose her memory while shopping. and had the whole police force hotfooting around to discover her identity and abiding place.
 Miss Fanny arrived. and for one whole day she was very demure. Then she got sight of Dr. Harper, who nao just graduated and set up practise in the village half a mile away. She learned that he had had only one pa tient in three months, and that there seemed no possible chance of his having another in three more to come. She felt sorry for him. She wished she had some way of spreading ma laria over the neighborhood, or of having all the children come down with the measles. Then came the idea
 Miss Helen George was twenty, and staid. Her mother was almost sol emn. Neither would countenance any deception. Therefore. in the plan that was laid they were left out. Hiss Fanny awoke one morning to declare that she felt strange in the head.

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Suggestions Regarding Various Phases of Housework That Are Worth
 Trying.

Rust on steel can be removed by rubbing sweet oil we'll into the sur face. Let it stand two days; then rub the steel with unslaked lime until surface Is clean.
 In cleaning wallpaper with bread crumbs use two-day-old bread. In small pieces; clean with downward light stroke. Never go over sams surface and never work horizontally. Cut away soiled part of bread con tinually.
 When gas mantlC- are blackened they can be cleared by sprinkli1g with salt when flame Is turned low. Turn light full for a minute and repeat un- til clear.
 Try mixing flour and water for thickening with a fork instead of the usual spoon. It is less likely to turn lumpy.
 Iodine stains on woodwork should be removed at once. as they make an ugly spot. Soak up with plotting paper. then rub the spot with a soft cloth moistened in camphor.
 As housekeeping time approaches CO not IOTS6L the use or QampeneQ cloths in misunderstanding. Dust is easily removed in this way without streaking woodwork or filling lungs.
 To beat furniture put damp. un- 1inty cloths over the upholstered parts and beat until it is black with dust; then turn to other side. Continue with fresh cloths until no more dust shows
 Learn to know what damp means, especially when used upon polished woodwork Think it means wet and you will be reviling valuable informa- ton as newspaper rubbish" Dip a cloth in hot water. wiring 1t as hard as you can. then shake it ia the air and 1t should have about the right amount of moisture.
 For convenience in dish-washing have a rubber-scraper. also a chain mop for greasy pots. Dark crash dish cloth should be supplied for pots and pans and the use of dish towels for. bidden for this purpose.

There were offers to make catnip tea and all that, but she thought Dr. liar per ought to be sent for. He came at once. He questioned for half an our before he was satisfied that it was a cold in the head. He left a remedy and would call again.
 Next day the head was better, but there was trouble with her right foot It seemed to be asleep. Did the doc tor think 1t was a case of creeping palsy? He pursed his lips and looked wise and said he must have two or three days to watch developments. It might be nothing but a twinge of rheumatism. He would have thought so had he seen Miss Fanny climbing an apple tree in the orchard that aft ernoon, but he was half mile away.
 Don't you go flirting with Dr. Harper, for I won't stand 1t, and mother would be horrified," warned Helen.
 Why, Nellie, how can you think of such a thing! It's just that if l am going crazy in my head I want to know it, and if I'm to have paralysis want to write to father. You are cruel to talk that way"
 On his next visit, Dr. Harper found his patient with pain in her side It was a pain that moved up and down. Sometimes it gave an awful twinge, and then again it ceased and was good. Was it something dan gerous? Had she better return to town and consult a specialist?
 ''No-o-o. hardly" the doctor said. Probably a flying pain. A mustard plaster will draw it out"
 Her tongue was looked at and her appetite questioned and some changes were suggested in diet. Sour apples were not among the suggestions, but Miss Fanny ate six of them that day A mustard plaster was made for her side, but instead of putting it on she dropped 1t out of the window of her room. In dropping 1t fell on the head of the gardener. but all his swearing was done below his breath. Aside from the sour apples, there was croQuet and other racing around and a long walk.
 That evening Miss Helen observed to her guest:
 You are looking as blooming as a rose, and I'm sure nothing will all you when you get up in the morning."
 But alas, who can tell what a night may bring forth? The doctor came to see about the pain in the right side. Ln he told that 1t had jumped over
