The Celestials have an expression. Eggs of a hundred years The eggs are not always century in age, but one is able to get them of many years stand. ing.

Sunset In Athe Red City" of Bavaria.

Sunset In "the Red City" of Bavaria.
 The numerous entrances to the old town of Rothenburg are guarded by beautiful watchtowers, which are i'm habited by impoverished old women, who rent their airy lodgings for a nominal sum. The red twinkle of their lamps high over the dusky streets of Rothenburg at lnight-for it is as mediaeval in it's lighting as in many other ways-is very charming in ef- feet The walls of Rothenburg are a constant delight to visitors, who, by dint of much squeezing through mar row passageways and groping in dark ness, are able to make a circuit of the city. getting glimpses on the way through loopholes of the green country outside. Wondrous views of the town are also to be had from many of the distant hills. At sunset the sight of it's graceful towers and clutter of red rsof tops is like fair vision of TO- nance. The city blazes for a mo- ment in a fiery mist, then suddenly melts, mirage-like. in the gathering dusk, leaving a sense of something born of dream, the illusion of an en- chanter's wand.-RotheDburg Letter to Vogue.

O'Sullivan, the Democratic candidate, which was augmented by the Republican major ity of 32 in Goshen. The vote for Rep resentatives was very close and was only decided after a recount of the split tickets. The first figures indi- cated the election of Thomas A. liar ty (dem) and John N.
