Year Age Limit for Eggs

How do the eggs taste which are served to you nowadays! pr. Harvey w. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chem istry in the agricultural department and pioneer in the pure food crusade, says he favors the enactment of law providing that all eggs placed in cold storage in the course of year should be sold no later than the lst of Feb ruary in the succeeding year, when the hens begin to lay more plentifully.
 "I don t think there is any excuse at all for keeping eggs in cold storage for more than nine months" says pr. Wi ley. If they are kept longer than that they are held over into the next year and are not put on the market until they have been in storage more than twelve months. After as long period as that they are not as good as they were when they were put into the ware hOuse'
 "What is the most certain method of assuring oneself that an egg is abso- lutely fresh?n he was asked
 'Watch the hen, replied pr. Wiley
 ''I want to know when an egg seems to be fresh and starts verging on the passe," persisted his questioner.
 "I'll answer that,' replied Dr. Wi. ley, eff you will tell me when a pig ceases to be pig and begins to be- come Trhog."

is broader; if the patriot is esteemed, he is inestimable. With him, the Golden rule is applicable to nations as well as to individuals.
 Such is the good international feel ing, that suffering caused by pestilence, famine or earthquake is instantly ale viated as best may, by contributions from all over the world. We thank our age for the wisdom which is establish ing better foreign relations, and crown ing the present with the garland of peace. The great sea-plOwing carriers, the cable, and the telegraph were i'm possible, until the throwing open of na- ture's avenues became an accomplished fact Without the freedom of the seas established, there was no incentive for great commercial expenditure. The realm of possibility was widened by striking down the artificial barriers which were keeping men from their own. The communication of nation with nation, of mind with mind, has made for a more liberal diplomacy and better civilization. We have learned that an illiberal attitude toward other nations is but sowing to the wind, while conciliatory methods are, in real. ity, drilling of seeds which insures an abundant crop of the best and the clean est grain.

NOTHING UNDER
 THE SUN IS NEW

Nothing under the sun is new The old was old in Solomon s day, The false was false and the true was
 true
 As the false and true will be alway. The Pharisee walks in the public place With his broad phylacteries displayed And makes the prayers with solemn face That a thousand years ago he made. The priest and the Levite still pass by, While the wounded wretch on the
 other side Appeals in vain with beseeching eye For the helping hand so coldly denied. Now Lazarus begs at Dives gate For the crumbs that fall from his am
 pie feast, And never fear of his future fate Disturbs the rich man s soul in the
 least. And Magdalen crouches in dumb des-
 pair
 Alone at the foot of the altar stone, And nobody needs her lying there Or hears her prayer in its anguished
 moan. So nothing under the sun is new The old was old in Solomon $ day, But where are the workers, faithful and
 true,
 Who lifted the fallen along the way! Will the good Samaritan come no more Is the strength of the chosen weak
 and cold? Are faith an dhope and charity Der! Is it only love that dies when old! Nay, love survives, and brave souls live And generous deeds are done by the
 few, While the many accept what the mar
 tyrs give, And-nothing under the sun is new!
 Mare Eugene Cook.

Cherry, Illinois, the scene of Amerl' ca ,s most horrible mine disaster, has left with us memory which lapse of time alone can efface.
 According to the press reports, when the miners realized that their exit had been cut off and that they were prison CTS, real prisoners, with fire, smoke and gas their captors, the application of the usual principles of law and order be- came somewhat unsettled Some of the stronger thought to set up a despotism based upon the old fallacy, "Might makes Right" Others thought the strong should protect the weak; that water should be given to the sick; that the principles of humanity should be applicable below as well as above the ground, in extreme, as well as ordinary cases. The latter class accepted the leadership of two scientific miners oi long experience, and protected the wa ter supply, cared for the sick, curbed the rebellious element, though not with out some fighting.
 The struggle between the two con tending forces in Cherry pit was only a continuance of the world conflict which has been waging for centuries Only within our own time has anything like uniform success attended the et forts of the humanitarian. The pro gressive ideals of religious and secular teachers are now becoming realities il international relations. True, the trans formation has been gradual, but no per manent structure can be erected iron material which is not well seasoned.
 In the early days, good men stood out prominently because the age wa corrupt. Now the good predominant and every day matterof- f-fact heroes ar' so numerous that the world accepts them as ordinary men, doing ordinar, and necessary things.
 We are doubly happy because we real ize that the brotherly feeling IS no confined to any one nation or people This mutual adjustment one to the othe is the oracle which promises bette things. It indicates that reason IS tn king of kings and that he yields tn scepter of progress. By this commIrnlt, of thought man is marked as essential, different from his ancestors.

 At the close of the civil war party of union soldiers visited the capitol and gained access to the senate floor. One of them jabbed a great hole in the Davis desk with his bayonet. This hole was patched and the desk repolished. The patched portion of the desk is still an object of interest to visitors who are fortunate enough to be admitted to the floor of the senate.

SENATE SNUFF BOXES
Relics of the Days of Webster and Calhoun to Be Replaced
 by New Ones

They put two new snuff boxes in the senate chamber Wednesday, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. The memory of the oldest capitol employee does not go back to the time when the old snuff boxes were put in place. It is believed they were purchased soon after the British burned the capitol, and were taken from the old senate chamber, now used by the supreme court, to the pres ent chamber when the north wing was constructed.
 In the early days these boxes were very popular and it was necessary to replenish their contents almost daily. .nally the covers became loose and were lost In recent years Jew senators have patronized the snuff uoxes, al though occasionally, in a spirit of fun, Senator Carter and one or two others have invited their colleagues to join them in Ca little pinch"
 For some time Colonel Ransdell, ser geant at arms of the senate, has been trying to purchase new boxes. He want ed something unique that bore a resem blance to the old boxes. Failing to get what he desired, he instructed Charles N. Richards, keeper of the stationery room and the oldest senate employee to see what he could do. MT. Richards found two small lacquered boxes about an inch deep and three or four inches | long, which were acceptable to Colone | Ransdell. They were filled with snuff and put in place near the exits to the Marble room.

Incidentally, the only time. the American flag was ever raised over the old warld was at this time at Derne, in Tripoli, when land force co-operated with Commodore Preble, United States navy, in curbing the arrogance of the tribute takers. The Treaty of Paris, 1856, operated to forever abolish privateering and the institution would be forgotten entirely except for the comic opera company and the love of a thrilling sport which the young American seems at times to rel ish.
 Consider what commerce means to a nation. As the territory of no nation extends over all the zones, does not con tain all minerals, and its natural condi- tions do not admit of all manufactures, | it is as dependent upon others as others are dependent upon it for the neces- saries and luXuries of life. During the time of peace, which is the normal con dition of nations, the interchange of these products and manufactured goods makes for great prosperity. With com mercial advantage comes the broaden ing interchange of thought. When we become familiar with the people of other nations, we have no monopoly of learning In music, art, invention, dis. covery, political thought, the continent has message to which we can well afford to listen The reduced cost of foreign travel has made it possible for l the salaried clerk to now enjoy that which only the few could command for. ty years ago.
 Aliens are treated with great defer. ence We can hardly appreciate the fact that aliens were even refused ad

CONGRESSMAN JONES TO

ably viii be inserted In Rivers and
Harbors Bill to be Submitted to
Congress early In the Present SEES
sion.

There Is q strong probability that
the matter Of providing this city with
small boat harbor. which has been
the subject for discussions and the
object of movements that never ma
terialiaed here for the past ten years
or more, will be taken Ia hand by
the federal government A provision
in the rivers and harbors bill TO be
reported TO congress early In the pres
ent session very probably will author
lac s survey OF Newport News creek
for the purpose of determining upon
the edvisability of converting that
stream into hartor for small boats
and to ascertain the cost OF such an
Improvement.
Some time ago Mayor Marquis Jones
discussed this subject with Congress
man William A. Jones and asked the
latter II II would not be possible 10
secure the aid of the government IN
constructing the long-needed small
boat harbor. Al the time the con-
gresham said that tie first step
would be to have survey authorized.
and that he could have inserted In
the next rivers and albors bill a
clause providing for this work. He
asked that the mayor bring the mat
ter 10 his attention again after con-
gress convened.
Ready to Act.
The mayer. strong in the belief that
the city can get It's harbor by this
means. did not let the matter sleep.
Soon after congress convened he
wrote to the First district congress
man reminding him of his promise 10
act. Yesterday Mayor Jones received
a letter from the congressman. stat.
ing that he would not fail 10 attend
10 the matter and practically giving
ahe mayor to understand that there
was no doubt about the desired pro-
vision going into the bill before IT
}eaves the committee room.
Plan for Improvement.
II hae been proposed frequently to
dredge Newport News creek. which
flows into Hampton Roads at POINT
Breeze, and convers II into a small
boat harbor. 1t is said that it would
require only comparatively small
expenditure of money 20 make the
stream nsvigable for boats Of light
draft to a point near the present city
limits at Twentieth street and to
make basin of considerable SIZE
at that point.
The mayor believes that when a
survey has been made II will not be
dificuh to secure government APP
