It Caused the Real Estate Agent to
Change His Mind.
When the family who admitted that
they were moving because the tenants
at the old address made their lives
miserable confided to the renting agent
that they had one popularity which
they wished him not to mention to
their neighbors in his building the
agent got uneasy and executed men,
tai quickstep trying to devise some
way to break the lease. But aloud he
said very courteously:
81 shall be glad to oblige you If l
can. What is it you wish me to keep
a secret?"
1.-THE fact that we pay our rent
promptly on the LIST of every month"
said the head of the family. THAT
was something that nobody else in the
other house did, and the agent as an
incentive to quick action on their part
published the news of our promptness.
The only action it stirred them into
was persecution of us. and they car
ried that to such extremes that we
had to move. If you will kindly re-
frain from using us as a club to whack
your delinquents into obedience we
will appreciate it,
The agent resolved not to cancel the
lease. but at the same time he relin-
quished a hastily conceived plan for
procuring prompt remittances. - New

TESTING AN EGG.
Many Ways to Detect StaIeness Be.
sides Smell and Taste.

sides Smell and Taste.
1t does not require a very discrim-
mating palate to detect an old egg
from a new one. says a correspondent
of the New York Sun. The former
has a musty flavor that the latter
never has, and the mustiness may
range from a slight faint to a very
pronounced one. 1t is always notice
able in storage eggs.
If any one wishes to verify the judg-
ment of his palate, the following tests
may be used:
lit is almost impossible to peel the
shell from a fresh hard boiled egg
without having some Of the white
come away with it.
"a stale egg cannot be beaten to
a froth.
3.-When a fresh egg is broken into
a dish the yolk stands up and the
white does not spread, whereas in a
stale egg the yolk lies fat and the
white seems watery.
4.-The shell of an egg after a GER
tain length Of time loses its chalky
appearance and becomes shiny.
5.-The air space in the large end
Of a newly laid egg is about half an
inch in diameter. and as the egg ages
this space grows larger. In storage
eggs it sometimes extends to one
fourth the length. An expert can very
closely approximate the age of an egg
by examining this space. This is
known as Gambling and is done by
holding the egg in a beam Of light.
A simpler test is to hard boil the egg
and notice the relative size of the
space.

Heart toHeart
Talks.
THE MACKAY STATUE,
By EDWIN A. NE.

OF all the statues l have seen in this
country two have always gripped me-
the statue Of Abraham Lincoln in Lin
coin park, Chicago, and that Of the
elder Mackay at the University Of Ne
vada
Almost every one has seen the Lin
coin statue or picture of it. 1t strikes
you as being a replica of the real Lin
coin.
The other was erected by Clarence
81. Mackay as tribute to his father,
the founder of the Mackay fortune.
There it stands, the semblance OF a
young man of sturdy bearing. He
wears a flannel shirt, which is open at
the neck. Corduroy trousers are stuff
ed into cowhide boots. On the head is
a SLOUGH hat. 4 miners pick is clinch-
ed in the right hand.
That Is the real Mackay.
Afterward he became a millionaire,
and the statue would have shown
smooth groomed, conventional figure in
frock coat and high hat.
But Mackay was a man before he
was a millionaire
And the rugged figure of the miner
stands an abiding index of the dignity
of labor.
The mudsills of our republic were
laid by men of toll. They laboriously
blazed the way to our present day
prosperity. And of these heroes of the
early faith was the bronzed miner
who, like Moses. struck the fiinty rock
and forced the flow of golden waters.
We must honor these men.
Let US have a care lest in our day of
prosperous pride we shall come to look
with condescension upon the man who
earns his bread by the sweat of his
brow and the labor of his hands.
Therefore the value Of reminders like
this statue of the man Of the pick and
the sluicing cradle.
We must impress the truth that the
man upon whose garments there is the
stain of the soil, caught in honest eff
fort of daily toll, wears a uniform as
patriotic as the uniform of the har-
| messed soldier; that the scars upon the
hands of labor are as honorable as the
scars received in battle.
Hence the significance of the Lin
coin and the Mackay statues. They
| are statues of men, not as they were
! finally made. but as in the making
! Let our new American art fashion
! the memorials of our great men as
men who labored at a task
| Lest we forget whence we sprung.

PRICE OF The FLEECY
TAKES A SUDDEN RISE
Twenty Points Was the Gain
Yesterday

King Cotton pulled himself out OF
the ruts yesterday, for time at least,
and surprised the local trade in the
advance of nearly a quarter cent sus-
tanned by the contract market. The
March and May positions, which have
been dragging around and below 3
cents for month, advanced sharply,
March closing at 9.17 and May at $50.
In the Americas market there was
general dullness and lack of demand,
except for the finer grades, of which
there is little to be offered. Receipts
at local warehouses ran up near the
hunded bale mark yesterday, as conf
pared with one single, solitary bale
the day before. What cotton remains
in ire country will soon be marketed
if ne advance which started yester-
day only continues.

Tortoise Shell Combs.

Couture fashions are causing wom-
en- to bring forth old shell combs and
pins that have been laid away for
years.
While these may be good in line
they are apt to be dull and of cloudy
appearance.
If very bad they should be sent to a
jeweler or manufacturer of shell goods
for repolishing.
To brighten at home rub with sweet
oil, wipe dry, cover with whiting or
good silver powder and polish with a
chamois.
To keep shell in good condition
wash it frequently with tepid water,
then polish with a little olive oil on
piece of flannel or chamois.
AS shell is brittle, it should be care
fully handled, especially not subjected
to sudden changes of temperature
When not sure if your shell is real,
do not put it too near a flame, as it
may be celluloid and explode.
