orinin of IN. Three R,s.n

The famous toast to the three RS
reading. 'riting and 'rithmetic"-was
made by Sir William Curtis, lord may
or Of London, in the year 1875 and FOR
many years one of the wardens OF the
tower. What made it more ludicrous
was that he proposed it at dinner
given by the London board of educa-
ton. 1t was received with great ap-
plause and drunk amid much merrl-
ment, At the time it was recognized
as Jest. but was afterward taken up
in earnest by the mayors detractors.
who have handed his name down to
posterity as a laundering ignoramus.
A writer has now come to his defense
and says that when he was boy an
aged member of the board of education
assured him that Sir William knew
better and that he really used his IA
nous ALTERATION as jest. To many
people, however, the story will always
sound better when 1t is based upon the
belief that Sir William was really se'
rious.

A Record Hailstorm.

One Of the worst hailstorms ever
known In the United States occurred
Sept. 5, 1898. in Nodaway county, MIS-
souri,. The path of the storm was
about three miles wide and eighteen
miles long, its greatest violence being
felt over a region of four square miles
east of Clarmont. At one point in this
region the fall of hail was so heavy
that drift unprotected by artificial
means remained lying on the ground
for four weeks after the storm. At the
end OF that time people in the neigh
.borhood were found gathering the hail
for the purpose Of making Ice cream
During the storm cylindrical pieces OF
fee were picked M four inches long
by about two and q half in diameter
The growing corn was practically ell
destroyed. In field of eighty acres
only one Stalk was left Standing Chi'
cago News.

How to Preserve Eaas.

Use pure water that has been thor
'oughly boiled and then cooled. To
each ten quarts OF water add one quart
|of water-glass. Pack the eggs in a
Jar and pour solution over them, Gov
ering we'll
Keep eggs in cool, dark place. A
dry, cool cellar is a good place.
II the eggs are kept in too warm
a place. the silicate is deposited and
the. eggs are not properly protected
DO not wash the eggs before packing,
for by so doing you injure their keep
ing quality, probably by dissolving the
mucilaginous coating on the outside
or the shell.
For packing use only perfectly fresh
eggs, for stale eggs will not be saved
and may prove harmful to the others
Water-glass is very cheap product
that can usually be procured at not to
exceed so cents per gallon, and one
gallon would make enough solution to
preserve fifty dozen eggs, so that the
cost of material for this method would
only be about one cent per dozen
Waterg glass is sodium and potassium
siliacte sodium silicate being usually
the cheaper. If wooden kegs or bar
rels are to be used in which to pack
the eggs, they should first be thor
oughly scalded with boiling water, to
.sweeten and purify them.-The Pro-
gressive Farmer.

ELKs' AV|ATI0ANMEET
inspection and Demonstration Of Big
Flying Machine an Attraction
Aside from the Flying.

Aside from the marvellous flying
stunts that are promised by the Moi
SAINT aviators during their appearance
in Bryan under the auspices of the
Elks, one of the most interesting fea-
lures should prove to be the demon
stration of the marvellous monoplanes
exhibited and constructed by the
Moisant people. After the crowd as
sembles on the flying field a demon
stration and practical lecture will be
given on all the parts, controls, mar
velous motors, steering gears. warp
ing wings, and thousand and one
technicalities that go to construct
these wonderful machines and make
them possible to fly like birds.
The tremendous motors used in the
Moisant monoplanes are of the gnome
make and all imported from France.
They are of the 70-horse power va
riety. containing seven distinct cylin-
ders, all of which revolve 1900 revolu-
tons a minute. The propeller is at
tached to the shaft of the motor and
also revolves 1900 revolutions a min
ute. There is no cooling apparatus
necessary with the gnome motor, as
the revolutions of this motor cools
itself in the air. These motors at this
terrific drive have a capacity of carry
ing the machine 102 miles an hour
through the air The motors used by
other biplanes and flying craft are of
the stationary variety, of about 30
horse power and of not half the driv-
ing capacity of the motors in the mon.
oplanes.
This should prove one of the great
features of the big aviation meet on
Teusday and Wednesday, May 21-22,
for flying stunts the Moisants promise
some of the most remarkable and ex.
traordinary features. At the Chicago
meet last year there were prizes az
gregating 100000, of which the Moi
SAINT aviators are said to have wcs
$4,000 against thirty-six other COM
petitors. Mr. Harold Kantnar, one Of
Moisan's most famous aviators and
the winner of speed contest in this
country and Europe, is but a young
man, but has distinguished himself as
the aviator who can create the great
est speed while soaring through the
air. Mr.. Kantnar will be seen in
| flights on both afternoons at the
Bryan meet and will show some won
derful speed tests. Mr.. Kantnar's
highest speed at the Chicago meet
was LOG miles an hour. That was ac-
complished at an altitude of over 5000
feet for twenty-five miles.
All the members of the Elks' lodge
are very enthusiastic over the e.,pres-
sions OF satisfaction from the business
men of Bryan, who are assisting in
every way this big aviation meet
Flights are positively guaranteed by
the Moisants OF both days, but If bad
weather occurs On either May q or %
flying will be continued on May %.
A tremendous crowd is expected to
be present on both days of the big
Elks' aviation meet on Tuesday and
Wednesday, May 81 and %.

fattest boy, Webster E. Rusk, aged

ing a week The lad is as red blood
ed ana healthy as he is stout. He
has always been an ardent boy scout
and joined that organization with
great enthusiasm. Nothing was
thought of it when Webster started
for school a week ago wearing his
khaki uniform and slouch hat. His
failure to return home led his Pc rents
to believe that he had gone for good.
Yesterday a friends of Webster's

bivouacked near Fort LaWton, eating
with the negro soldiers ana sleeping
in shelter he had made in the woods.
He had only words of scorn for the

er II. ii. Harjes and another party
really went to purchase grapes, the
fruit in question being the world
famous Treble du Roy grapes, or
grapes of the king"
The first vines of this Fontaine-
bleau vineyard were planted by
Francis the First, the greatest pat
ron of this famous forest, the cir
conference of which is fifty miles.
The sale of the kings grapes takes
place every year during the first
half of october and is usually a fash
ionable event.
Last year the Duchess de Tallyrand
bought them all for her little son,
Hele de Talleyrand. She tried to
corner them all this year also. but
Banker Harjes secured many sets of
them for his son and heir. The
grapes have been shipped to Deau-
vile for Baby Harjes. The bidding by
the Duchess Anna and the Boulevard

AS the Talleyrand and Harjes ba-
bies each got a substantial portion
of the grapes there is harmony in
