WATER GLASS FOR
PSRESERViNG EGGS

The eggs should be gathered
fresh, and not be spoiled. The male
bird should be removed from the
pen where best results are desired
in keeping. The cooler days are
recommended as better for preserv-
Ing the eggs, very hot weather not
being favorable.
Ono pint Of water glass (silicate
OF soda) mixed with Is parts of
water will cover 100 full sized eggs.
The eggs may be added to the water
glass from day to day as they are
gathered and should remain in the
water glass in the crock until used
or sold. The cover to the crock
need not be close fitting to insure
keeping the eggs fresh, but the
closer it fits the less will the evap.
grafton be. A flat board over the
top Of the crock makes q good
cover.
The eggs will be coated with the
water glass when taken out and
should be washed before being used
or sent to market. They come out
looking clean and fresh. It is just
as we'll to wash the water glass
from the eggs as soon as possible, If
the eggs are taken out by hand, and
there is less danger of breaking one
II handled in that way. II an egg
should break in the crock the water
glass would soon spoil. For that
reason any thin shelled eggs are re-
jected in selecting eggs to put away.
Wooden buckets or stOneware
crooks should be used to hold the
water glass. A cool, dry place must
be found for them to stand A top
shelf tn dry cellar, or even q table
will be suitable.

Berlin, Aug. Although the Ger

clared that Germany had not taken
any action yet In regard to the Ques-
tioon Of participation in the Panama
Pacific exposition at San Francisco,
the opinion is freely expressed in Of
fetal circles that the German empire
will not be represented there. It was
pointed out that Great Britain's de-
cision not to participate settles also
the action Of Germany, as the only
factor that might have induced the
German government to bring pressure
to bear on unwilling business men to
exhibit, was the fear of unfavorable
competition with Great Britain

keeping healthy cattle in their

say that their milk comes from

THE POLO TEAMS VICTORY.

It's odd how differently professionalism affects
sports here and on the other side of the water
Baseball is become great professional spectacle
but cricket which is English for baseball is strictly
an amateurs game. On the other hand, football in
this country is strictly gentemen's game, sport
for amateurs; in England football is well-ngh as
professional as is baseball here.
But polo, wherever it is played, is an amateurs
game. 1t is also dstinctvely British game. Ameri-
cans regard other Americans who play polo as being
rather more English than John Bull. Which isn't
fair for it's fine, big swinging game, and one IN
which, if it were popularized in this country, we
would have excelled the world. Think of team of
Wyoming cow-punching tuskes handling the mallet
and the ball with the same skill and confidence that
they toss the lasso throw the steer! It's just as
well for the prestige of the gentlemen athletes that
the cowboys never happened to take to the sport.
Crippled and made up of substitutes, in part, the
American team has won the first contest in the inter-
national meet, which gives them a big lead in the
series of three battles. They appear to have won
very much as the Americans in the Olympic games
win, by dint of superior specialization, better train
ing 1t isn't our game, but when we 60 at it we
have way of making it ours.

THE NEW PUBLIC PRINTER.

The biggest industrial establishment in this city
is the public print shop. Likewise, it is commonly
rated as the biggest printing establishment in the
world People come from all over the world to
admire and wonder at its organization and efficiency
Ii is constantly under observation of course because
it is a Government establishment and, therefore,
everything about it that could possibly draw criticism
is exaggerated into demonstration of extravaganza
and disorganizaton. But everybody who knows the
big shop knows that nothing of the sort is justified
While the prntery is always under criticism nobody
nowadays ever suggests the idea of return to the
contract system, with its vast opportunities for graft
and favoritism The Government does its own print
ing in the biggest plant in the world because the
whole it finds that is the best way; just as the
Government conducts its own postal service.
The newly appointed Public Printer, Cornelius
Ford, of New jersey will find himself confronted
by good deal of demand for political consideration
but in that regard the office is not difficult it
used to be. Mr. Ford is recommended as thoroughly
competent and equal to the big executive task that
will be imposed upon him. He succeeds a Public
Printer under whom high standards of efficiency
have been maintained, and there is every reason
for confidence that he will keep the huge plant in
the high state of serviceaby that it has long main
tanned
Mr.. Fords appointment is quite as distinctly
recognition of organized labor as would have been
that of his chief opponent James M. Lynch. Mr..
Lynch is president of the International Typographical
Union; Mr.. Ford has long been the head of the
New Jersey Federation of Labor, and an active
representative of labor in the Jersey legislature.

TOO MUCH EDUCATION?

DR.. Harry Pratt Judson, president of the
Chicago University, tells the Illinois vice commission
that he thinks school and college courses ought to
be shortened, so that young men and women mi ght
earlier be fitted for the serious business of life On
that point there has been good deal of discussion
and increasing disposition to agree with Dr. Judsons
view. He would have the high schools and colleges
teach fewer subjects and teach them more thor
oughly.
Educational processes nowadays seem too much
to assume the responsibility for equipping students
with a complete stock of information That is quite
impossible. The individual who has the taste for
acquiring and the faculty of using information will
spend his entire lifetime in the accumulation, organ
zation, and development of methods of using it.
Education, for him. ought to be process of deter
mining whittier his tastes and talents tend and then
the laying of foundation on which he might build
in the future.
People succeed nowadays by specializing The
intellect that undertakes to surround the worlds store
OF information spreads itself out pretty thin. Her
bert Spencer may start with such an ambition and
by dint of tremendous application and marvellous
capability, produce system of synthetic philosophy;
but the schools are not being conducted for the
purpose of fitting men and women to turn out the
Herculean mental stunts of Spencer.

JUSTICE TO THE TERRAPIN.

No one can make careful study of the terrapin
particularly when served la Maryland, with just the
right dash of seasoning and fail to reach the CON
clusion that he is remarkable creature Therefore
when the governor of Maryland arrived at a big pond
at Crs6eld the other day and 1000 patriotic terrapn
at the sound of the dinner bell rung by keeper
poked their heads out of the mud to salute him. no
one in the terrapin's native State regarded this
official courtesy with surprise.
We scorn to be like our brethren in other parts
of the country who show disposition to regard the
story as nature fake. Having eaten land crawiers
and other inferior fauna for years in the mistaken
belief that the mess was terrapin they can have no
idea of the capabilities of the genuine product Their
reason no less than their digestion disturbed oy this
fearsome stuff, they at the suggestion that the
terrapin could hear the bell and respond to It with
aacrity, as all other Marylanders do.
Even an oyster would laugh at such Ignorance
and canvasback duck would squawk in derision.

going against it, but then they almost always 60
against the government. More serious probably is
the fact that the country has been good deal
shocked by stories of cabinet members speculatlons
in Marconi stocks and by yet more recent sug-
gestions of social scandals involving men prominent
in the government. The unonists believe they could
sweep the country and come back to power If an
election were forced within the next year. If that
happened before the Irish bill passed the third
time, the long, painful discouraging road would have
10 be travelled over again.
Ireland seems fated to hard luck in her fight for
home rule. She is going to win of course, in the
end; and in winning she will probably break The
power of the present liberal movement in England,
for the Irish alliance with the liberals has been based
on liberal support of the home-rule program. With
that carried, Irish and liberal affation would be
vastly less uniform and secure

CAN IRELAND YET LOSE?

Our American Constitution provides perfectly
simple method of getting laws the statute books
after they have been vetoed by the President Pass
them by two-thirds vote over the veto, and they
are law, willy-nilly.
Fine scheme; the only difficulty is that il
doesn't work. The vetoed measure goes over the
veto so seldom that the exceptions fully prove the
rule.
Now the Irish and the British liberals are learn
ing that their pleasant plan for curbing the lords
is of much the sort. If the lords reject bill
let the commons 60 ahead and pass it again. and yet

then it will be law whether the lords accept or

Home rule is up to that situation. The measure
has now passed the commons once; it is on the way

rejected After that if must pass the commons again

THE STREET AND THE COURT.

Precisely why Wall Street should have developed
bad case of nerves over the Supreme Court
decision of the Minnesota rate is not apparent
1t was not revolutionary. 1t changed nothing what
ever. The only change it suggested even remotely
was a change that would be decidedly favorable tt
the railroads. That was the intimated possibility
! that Congress might take over a wider control o
rail rates, perhaps wide enough to concentrate under
| the Federal authority the entire power now welded
by the State and the Interstate Commissions
The line of decisions on which Mr.. Justice
Hughes opinion is based is long and unbroken. II
goes back, in the matter of railroad regulation, al
least to the granger laws of the Seventies" OF
last century. The right of the State to regulate its
rates. within the constitutional inhibition against
coniscation, has been established for generation
beyond cavil or uncertainty. 1t is impossible to
understand on what theory anybody had come to
believe the Minnesota case was going to bring a
reversal of this long line of adjudcatons The Con-
sttuton that power to the States, and the
act to regulate commerce makes specific exception
of intrastate business from the power of the Inter-
state Commission.
If the highest court had reversed all the decisions
and taken away from the States the authority to
make rates on business entirely within their borders,
the procedure would have been revolutionary, and
market The court not only did nothing of the sort,
but it gave its decision sustaining the long-estab-
lished rule with unanimous voice, thus establishing
reasonable certainly that, despite sweeping changes
in its personnel, and despite evidences that its
economic mind has been considerably affected, it
has notion of altering its view of this question
Of regulating transportation. .
From every point of view, the decision rendered
on Monday should justify a better feeling rather
than a worse, among railroad interests There never
was serious chance for the railroads broadly to
defeat the State, and it is quite beyond belief that
any capable legal corps could have led the railroads
to believe there such a chance. So the railroads
lose nothing whatever that they have had for gener
alton past The decision is not so favorable to them as
would have been a revolutionary that would have
taken away the States right of control. But it is
distinctly favorable to railroad interests for at least
two reasons. One is that it has impressed in
most effective way, upon the public mind the thou ,ht
that divided control is condition which ultimately
must be impossible. To have the public realize that
is long step toward doing away with it. Beyond
this, the Hughes decision as already suggested,
includes the intimation that Congress might take
over a unified control of the whole subject That
is decidedly favorable to the railroads contentious
There was nothing whatever in the Minnesota
decision to warrant furry a slump in stocks
That it produced such results is merely more evil
dence that the Street is in such state of mind that
it can't reason straight from cause to effect
