Simple Card Trick.

The most simple card trick and one
for which neither sleight of hand nor
practice is necessary is performed as
follows:
Place three picture cards-either
kings. queens, or knayes-in row and
tell the company that during your alb.
sence from the room they can reverse
any card they choose, and that on your
return you viii name the card which
they have reversed You have only
to notice that the white margin of the
cards Is narrower on one side than on
the other and to place all the narrow
or all the broad ends either toward or
from you, and on re-entering the room
you can see in an instant which card
has been turned.

Keeping Eaas Fresh.

In Germany eggs are kept fresh
for any length Of time by simply Inn
mersing them In ten per cent. solu-
tion of silicate of soda, commonly
called liquid glass" This produces
the formation of a coating which rem
ders the eggs perfectly air-tight. The
eggs so treated retain their fresh
taste for many months. The best
proof of the efficacy Of this treatment
has been furnished by the fact that
such eggs, after having been kept for
a whole year, were hatched and the
chickens were strong and healthy. The
preserving solution is best prepared
by dissolving one pound of liquid glass
In four quarts of cold water. The eggs
are then Immersed in this solution,
which should be kept In a glazed
earthenware vessel. and the eggs are
kept in the solution for short time.
II one Of these preserved eggs Is to
be boiled. the shell must be first per
forated to prevent cracking.

conditions and hens were as much
alike as possible to make the test a
conclusive one.
The pen with fifteen hens made a
profit of 80 cents per hen, and the
eggs laid numbered 976.
The pen with twenty hens made a
showing of 1908 eggs for the pen and
profit of u cents per hen.
The pen with twenty-five hens made
laying record of 1928 eggs and a
profit of 35 cents per hen.
The pen with thirty hens had an egg
production Of 1900 and profit Of 80
cents for ecah hen.
The experiment shows distinctly
that hens can be SO crowded as to re-
duce the profit of an egg farm. The
difference of twenty-five eggs per
hen for six months is great On the
basis of fifteen to the pen the profits
of the total ninety hens were $72; on
a basis of thirty to the pen the profits
were $50. In each case the actual cost
of feed was deducted.

ever, the other members were willing
to consider it only as an informal
confer ence, they were willing to stay
and talk over the matters of differ

would be compelled to withdraw.
The other members accepted the
proposition of Mr.. Ware, and for about
three quarters of an hour a most
friendly time was spent discussing
the interests of the school. The re-
