Huerta no puede durar arriba de
dos meses. Sus fuerzas estan per-
diendo terreno cada dia y seria
un milagro que pudiera alcanzar
ese espacio de tempo. "Luego,
refriendose al destino de los ac-

Novel Ways
to Prepare
Fresh Eggs

L GGS for breakfast are doubtless the
Hstandard food, consequently variety
Of serving them should be studied by
every good housewife. Eggs in them
selves contain all the elements Of nutri-
ton in a quickly available and concen-
trated form. Many people cannot di-
gest a plain boiled egg because OF the
sulphur il contains, but few fail to en-
joy eggs cooked in any way without
the shell. None but those that are
known 10 be perfectly fresh should be
used in cookery.
To discover whether they are fresh,
drop each egg carefully into cold wa
ter; if the large end turns up and the
egg floats it is not good, but if it sinks
to the bottom Of the vessel # IS per
fectly fresh. When boiling eggs always
put them on in cold water and directly
the water boils the egg will be perfect
ly done.
Try steamed eggs, prepared as follows;
Butter a deep pie tin. and break care
fully into it as many eggs as re-
quired. Sprinkle these with salt and
pepper, and little bits Of butter; place
the tin in a steamer over boiling water
tin the eggs are cooked. Again. brown
ed eggs will be appreciated as a change
at breakfast Allow two ounces of
butter TO every five eggs. Break the
eggs into a buttered dish. season with
salt and a little nutmeg. Melt the
butter I'm a frying pan, and directly it
is quite hot pour il over the eggs. Shake
the dish that the butter may run
among the eggs, and set it in the oven
for the eggs TO set.

Crawl on Razor Edges.

THAT snails can pass over such sharp
instruments as a raz0r's edge with
out the slightest harm has been demon
strated by a French scientist in the
course Of his study Of these creatures,
which are so well equipped for travel
that they can move over surfaces excep-
tionaHy dangerous to seemingly better
protected animals. The snail walks with
the hind part Of its walking surface 20
one side of the blade. and extends the
fore part and bends it down ON TO the
other side without touching the edge.
thus accomplishing without harm what
would naturally seem impossible.
