Testing Eggs by x-ray.

The "candling" of eggs by the Roent-
gen ray is carried on with great sue
cess by an association OF poultrymen
which is at present sending over 2O0,-
900 eggs per week into London. The
apparatus is much like the old egg
candler, where the egg is held up to a
small hole in a partition back OF which
is light and the character and age
can be determined. This operation is
done much more satisfactorily where
the Roentgen light is made use of in
stead of gas or electricity. An abso-
lutely fresh egg. when placed therein.
appears perfectly transparent. Eggs
which are oider. even if still edible.
show small spots. These are not visi-
BILE to the naked eye by ordinary light.
but are shown on the fiuorescent
screen of the apparatus quite clearly.
When such spots exceed certain size
the egg Is declared unfit for food.
These examined eggs" which are GER
titled by stamp. are much sought aft
er In the London market.

Fashionable coIors,

This is the time of year when col
ors change. just as do hats and gowns.
Court blue is one of the latest. 1t is
a cross between electric and gend-
arme.
Taupe has shed its brown tinge and
has acquired the tint like elephant
gray.
One of the prettiest blues is blue
wig. a deep and yet bright shade.
Shrimp is the favored pink
A glorious red which looks extreme
ly well with white is called rouge
Venetian.
Chalk white is en- vogue.
Amaranth is a claret shade.
Caramel is another pretty edition
OF brown.
verdegris is one of the smartest
greens.
Mimosa is a yellow that verges on
orange.
Petunia is the successor of the
fuchsia medley, with the purple and
red tints predominating.

General Hooker, from his headquar-
ters near Falmouth. Va, issued the
following order to his soldiers: "It
is with heartfelt satisfaction that
the general commanding announces
to the army that the operations of the
last three days have determined that
our enemy must ingloriously fly, or
come out from behind their defenses
and give us battle on our own ground,
where certain destruction awaits him,
the operations of the fifth, Eleventh
and Twelfth corps have been series
OF splendid successes"
The frequent transmission of false
intelligence and the betrayal of the
movements of the Army of the Poto-
mac by publication of injudicious or

Hooker to issue general orders requir-
ing all newspaper correspondents to

as much more, and at the end of the
week a basket of oranges and grapes FOR
Ga cents will be more greatly appreciated
than q single box of roses costing a dol

Baskets of fruit and flowers are rather
extensive when bought complete, but
they can be prepared at home at much
smaller cost. Attractive baskets can be
bought for 10 cents made OF reeds, stained
mahogany color and of the shape ana

feet oranges for IL cents, a grapefruit at
tho same price and ii bunch of grapes
for 20 cents will fill the basket to over
