my dear Olivia" said Pumperton.
firmly, as dinner ended Il am going
to wash the dishes tonight. You are
to sit down in front of the dining room
fire and rest. While we are without
maid 1t is only fair for me to assume
my share of the work"
Mrs. Pumperton smiled. Very well,
John. But as the hot water Is not
coming very well, you'll find 1t better
to set the dishpan, hi II full, on the
stove to heat up. Put some soap pow
der in It. The package is on the
shelf" And with a sigh OF relief she
went into the living room and sat
down to rest. =
Pumperton cleared on the table
without any serious accidents, then
set the dIshpan over an open stove
hole to heat up. He took or his coat,
rolled up his sleeves and tied on
large bingham apron. Then It &C.
Cured to him that Olivia had told him
to put In some soap powder, 90 he
took yellow paper box from the
pantry shelf and poured In a generous
supply. The water by now was almost
boiling, but the soap powder obstinate
ly refused to dissolve; SO Pumperton
took kitchen spoon and began to
stir In vigorously. Instead of becom-
ing fine foamy soapsuds, the water be-
gan to thicken and thicken-and the
more 1t thickened the harder Pumper-,
ton stirred. t
At last Mrs. Pumperton, quietly
rocking and reading before the cory
open fireplace, was startled by an ag-
onized appeal from the Kitchen.
"Oiivia!" came her husbands call Il
want you! Quick" She jumped to
her feet and hurried to the kitchen, TO
see her husband perspiringly. but with
determined action, stirring a dishpan
full OF white mixture, In which knives,
forks and china came spasmodicaily to
the surface as he stirred-all coated
alike with something like strained
-four paste.
She looked at the dishpan with q
gasp. What on earth is the natter"
she asked What are you doing
there?"
Il don't know" came the discour-
aged response. Whats the matter
with that soap powder OF yours! Look
what It's doing! How can any man
or woman, for that matter-be expect
ed to wash dishes In that?"
She took one look at the white por-
ridge, then snatched up the package
standing open on the table. John
Pumperton," she said, calmly, Il told
you to put little soap powder in that
water. Instead you poured In good
half package of cornstarch. and made
pudding out OF IT."

Hiuhest Point OF Interest,

A man who was a passenger on an
excursion steamer which returned q
few days ago from Panama and Costa
Rica, told New York Tribune report
er that all the tourists were deeply
interested In what they saw in pana-
ma and along the line of tho canal
in the four days which they spent
there. "The monster dredges, the
great walls Of concrete, the locks and
other wonders OF the canal construc-
tion." he said. naturally came first
In order for our attention; then the
cheapness of the duck suits which
we had to buy, the independence Of
the merchants who would not send
them to you and the hospitality OF
the American club will be remem-
bered. but the most Wonderful thing
we saw was the real Panama souvenir
In the form of a deck Of playing cards
bearing Panama scenes, and the cards
are made In Ohio"

INFERTILE EGGS KEEP BEST
Large Part OF Loss Can 30 obvlated,
According to Investigation Just
Completed.

A large part OF the heavy loss from
bad eggs can be obviated by the pro-
duction Of infertile eggs This has
been demonstrated beyond doubt by
the investigations concerning the i'm.
provement OF the farm egg which dur
ing the past two years have been con.
Quoted in the middle west by the bu.
reau OF animal industry of the depart
ment Of agriculture.
Secretary Wilson OF the department
OF agriculture estimates that, between
the producer and the consumer, there
is an annual loss OF $4,000, 900 in the
egg crop of the United States, the
greater portion OF which falls on the
farmer, who is by far the largest
producer or this enormous loss,
about one-third. or $15,000,000, Is
caused by heat which develops the
embryo OF the fertile egg. causing
what Is known to the trade as a
blood ring" AS II is impossible. to
produce a blood ring" in an INFER
tile egg. such an egg will stand a
higher degree Of temperature without
serious deterioration than will fer
tile egg.
The secretary says that II farmers
and others engaged In the production
OF eggs would market their male birds
as soon az the Matching season is
over, large saving would be made,
as practically every infertiie egg
would grade first or second II clean

No more simple or efficient methN
for the improvement OF the egg sup
ply OF the country could be adopted
than the production Of infertile eggs.
