Simple Method of Preserving Eggs,

The months of April May and June arc
the hens busiest, and their product is al
tho lowest price. Hence it would seem
wise for those who keep chickens for

the hens cease to lay the tai Bile can be
supplied JuSt the same as usual Those
persons who have to purchase eggs all
the year around might also lay down
eggs for winter use, supposing they have
cool place for keeping them The
freezing point is by no means necessary.
Any cool cellar will answer
When the eggs are bought they should
be canded before being preserved A
Gambling chimney costs very little
rs most people know, egg shells are
porous. the tiny holes admitting air for
the chick to breathe. Also the egg evap-
crates through the same means. and this
results in an empty space. which fills
with air This is always at the broad
end. and for this reason the point should
be downward when storing eggs. To test
eggs. look through the instrument taftcr

egg is not perfectly fresh. and. of course.
the larger the empty space the older the
egg.
The yolk should he perfectly round and
show perfectly clear If there is a haze
or the white looks d little cloudy. the egg
is bad.
The object to he obtained in preserving
eggs is of course to prevent evaporation.
IF the air is excluded eggs will keep per-

is very simple. In fact. ! have known

to dip the eggs into liquid glass. which
can be bought at any drug store. An

How to Improve the Old Floor.

Have you ever tried to varnish a floor
or in fact any surface" You have
probably watched others change fiat
uninteresting surface into bright. al
most mirrorlke one. and have found
the operation extremely fascinating. II
Your floors need revarnishing. the spring
or fall is the best time to do the work.
During housekeeping arrangements Tor
shifting the furniture can easily be made
so that the work can he more quickly
accomplished. Where rugs are used this
is very simple matter. The time was,
only a few years ago. when rugs were
considered luxury, but now people in
all stations of life have become educated
to the fact that rugs are not only more
sanitary but makes less work FOR the
housekeepcr.
With the use Of rugs. the question
arises what to do with the floors. Where
expense is no object this can easily be
overcome by putting in new floor.
Where one does not care to go to TINS
expense. the old floor can be made 10
book very attractive at d small outlay.
lf the old floor is of narrow boards IN
fairly good condition it can be cleaned
by s~apinS and sandpapering. and made
to appear as though new. After this has
been done give the surface a coat of floor
varnish thinncd with turpentine. one
pint of turpcntine to Il gallon of varnish.
Let this stand from thirty-siX to forty
eight hours. when it will be thoroughly
dry and the second coat of varnish can
be applied. This coat should be applied
as it comes from the can. 1t will give
the surface high gloss. For dull
finish rub the second coat with powdered
pumice or rotten ,stone and oil. being
careful to remove all traces of the oil
when the work is finished
For floors in poor condition. wash clean,
and when dry smooth rough spots with
sandpaper. Then apply first coat of
ground paint, usually fiat yellow. After
this is dry fill all cracks with crac..
and seam finer and apply one coat of
floor stain, light oak preferred. though
any color can be used. This will give the
appearance of wood lightly grained. Aft
er this is dry give final coat of floor
varnish.
If borders are desired stencil pat
terms in appropriate designs can he
purchased at small cost. On natural
finished floors the stencil design must be
put on after the first coat of varnish
and for old floors. after the ground paint
and before stain has been applied. Before
using stencil mark off room to see that
it will work out correctly. then start al
left-hand corner and work toward cen
ter. When it is not possible to take the
time to finish in stain Or varnish. borders
made of composition of paper can be
purchased ready made. Never use liquid
filler on a floor.

SURPRISE LETTERS.

Surprise letters have many possibili-
ties. Every one is not born letter writ
er. Indeed letter writing is numbered
among the arts. But every ono can learn
to write a readable interesting letter.
So every one can join in a surprise-let-
ter enterprise
y birthday surprise to some friend who
is out of touch with his old associates
is delightful treat The friends of
young missionary to Alaska got up such
treat. They found out the dates of the
malls that arrived at his station, and
each sent a letter to reach him on the
mail that got to him a day after his
birthday. The letters were full of news
and good wishes, and they cheered him
through lot of hard work that lay be-
fore him.
Another such birthday surprise was
once arranged for young girl whose
eighteenth birthday was approaching

siasm, were much interested in the plan

Demure and Rakish Hats.

The American is more apt to err in the
choice of a hat than is the Frenchwoman.
for she is not trained to take the matter
seriously. She is brought up in a school
that teaches one to buy hat as one
would a veil, and feels that one can
throw it away with the same freedom.
The Frenchwoman who has money eN-
poets to pay from $40 up for her hat,
while the american has been a decade
learning to pay So for it. Now the new
school of expenses has Injured many
women to modern prices, but there is an
under current yet against the payment
of any but moderate price for a head
covering.
The French consider a hat of more
Importance than a gown. for they will
passed. but the straw hat is necessary
to their happiness, or their toilet, as soon
as the first new one is out so they
willingly pay well for it.
The French face is not demure. there
fore The hat is not And right here
comes the trouble for the Americans
We are not artificial as a race. and we
neither know how nor care to make up
the features and skin to accord with
the head covering.
If Frenchwoman goes out with her
face untouched with powder or rouge or
pencil she looks positively undressed
She arches the eyebrow. curves the lips
whitens the chin to give her the ex-
preston needed by the hat. Can you
see an American doing that? She would
not know how to do it. even If she
wished TO get the effect.
So when the American is confronted
with the necessity of buying a hat, she
feels helpless and hopeless this season
There are demure and rakish hats from
which She can choose: but which is she
demure or raksh-is the question. There
are few chances To compromise between
the Vatican and the Indian, which is
the familiar name given to those tall
hats whose feathers wave In the air.
Popular Sailor Shape.
Strange. how popular the old-fashioned
sailor shape has become in the last few
weeks. 1t is made in a variety of ways
to give it swing away from the style
of other days. but the. ultimate effect is
not changed. These shapes go well with
| the american type of face and the broad
shoulders that are racial There is the
same band of ribbon as in the days when

I straight upon the head. not tilted. Those

GOLDSTEIN BREAKS
 GROUND APRIL 1

Charles Goldstein, who arrived home on the Spokane yesterday announced this morning that the Goldstein I'm provement Company would break ground April 1, for the handsome new four story concrete building at the corner of Seward and Second streets. The new structure for the temporary home of the Goldstein stores is now nearing completion and in another few days the process of moving across the street will be under way. Mir. Gold stein is very much enthused over the progress that is being made toward the beginning of operations on the building and believes that it can be completed before summer is over and that he can be moved into it early in the fall
 The rock crusher that is to furnish rock for the concrete entering into the structure is now being set up on the municipal quarry in Gold creek,
