NEW WAY TO PRESERVE EGGS
System That 10 Said to Have Advan-
taaes Over Methods Of Refriger-
atlng or Picking.

A new agent for the preservation
Of eggs has been found in Switzer-
land. which has many advantages
over refrigeration and picking, &C
cording to United States Consu-Gen-
eral r. e. Mansfield. stationed at
Zurich, Switzerland.
"The preservative," Mr.. Mansfield
explains, Consists of q prepared sub
stance OF adhesive character, the in
gradients of which may be easily and
cheaply obtained In any country. The
process OF preservation is very simple:
A fiat vessel Of about 100 quarts is
filed to half It's capacity with the pre-
serving agent, into which the eggs
are dipped for two minutes and then
allowed to dry. For the dipping
process the eggs are placed in nat
wire baskets, each with capacity OF
800 to 500 eggs. One basket Is dipped
after another. and by employing a
larger vessel several baskets may be
dipped simultaneously. In this man
ner two or three persons can dip
zoo, 1000 eggs per day"
Eggs are overhauled before ship
ment, so that very little time ID lost

now, as she stands, dressed in blue
frock for dinner, tapping at Con-

and spirit were twenty-four; her heart
was eighteen; her purpose was forty.
Whenever even the darkest ray
tsuched her hair, it flickered with gold.
In full sunshine. even her brows and
iashes glittered and twinkled. Her
mouth was large and generously frreg-
ular; her nose was small and whim-
sically irregular; her violet-blue eyes
wore as clear as pools. AS she stood
there, waiting for Constance to rise
and open the door, her merriment took
lame from some sleepy remark. In
that precise psychological moment, all
planted by the fates. Tommy North
came down the hall on his way to din

kissed his sister, Betsy-Barbara had,
somehow, the feeling that she was
meeting a stranger. For the first time,
at any rate, she expressed him to
herself. He was small-but she had
always noticed that obvious fact. Look
ing at the figure on the bed, one would
have called the sister the taller Of the
two. He was nevertheless perfectly
formed. He had plume Of black hair
which glimmered in the gaslight with
dusky reflection of Betsy arbara's
native gold-and-satin turban.
She sat for I'VE minutes, while broth
or and sister made her the focus OF
their conversation. But she was not
amused. In the presence OF his sis
ter, Estrilla appeared q different man
from the light fencer with words Of
their evenings downstairs. He was
grave; he was formal. It was puz-
xling. but little fascinating. this
change.
In five minutes more, Betsy-Barbara
summoned tact to the aid Of manners
and maiden modesty. She invented an
excuse to shield herself against Span
ish poli.eness, and left Estrilla bow
ing gravely at the threshold.
The house seemed deserted. 1t was
too late for venturing forth alone; yet,
somehow, she must exercise the vague
black visions which began to surround
her-she who must keep courage fer
two. Also, something which she could
not analyze was stirring disquiet in
her soul.
"If only had some work." she said
to herself, and sighed again. SO medi-
tating, she wandered aimlessly down
stairs. Tho doors of the parlor we're

warned herself as she sat down. And
she started the liveliest Jig she knew.
Presently, she began to sing In her
pleasant unframed voice, which wob-
bled entrancingly whenever she got
out OF the middle register. But music
is the slave Of moods. And before she
was aware, her voice was following
the strings in old and melancholy love
songs.
Then Betsy Barbara dropped her
hands from the keys, and the music
stopped abruptly. She was just aware
that fine floating tenor had been
humming the part from the doorway.
Senior Estrilla stood looking down on
her.
my seester has gone to Sleep" he
said. And then, THAT Ia Scotch song.
10 1t not? Please 20 on" Betsy-Bar-
bara smiled, nodded, resumed her
keys; and they sang together.
When the song was finished. Estril-
la leaned on the piano and looked
down at Betsy Barbara. His mood
seemingly had changed; It was his
within to talk.
"They are little cold on the sur
face, those Scotch love-songs." he
said, though warm beneath, like a vol
cano. Now we who speak Spanish
we can throw our emotions to the sur
face"

Barbara, that to conceal it---but to
show it's there's the more wonder

OF a Wild Nature.

Just outside the entrance to the

apartment house where many young
officers live, and baby carriages are
a not infrequent sight in this vicinity.
Not long ago the commander of the
yard had notice posted on one side
of the gate forbidding automobiles to
enter, because they frightened the
horses. Shortly afterwards the fol-
lowing unofficial notice appeared on
the other side of the gate:
