Amend Remarks for Constituents.

About that time Representative Madden
drew the fire of Representative Bryan
and Madden leaped to his feet and COM
pleted the roasting" which Representa-
tive Moore had started Representative
Bryan had cast aspersions on Repre-
sentative Madden's 1.SOO-acre farm. and
the method in which it was acquired; at
least Representative Madden thought SO.
THE gentleman's mind is putrld,' ex-
claimed Mr. Madden.
Later, after a near-combat, Representa-
tives Madden and Bryan were seen in a
most confidential chat in one corner of
the House. They were editing the Record
for home consumption, as the printed
reports of their fight are much tanner
than the actual words used yesterday.

''CANDuNC" Of EGGS
At HOME EXPLAINED
Method by Which Housewives May
Determine Freshness
Outlined.

Housewives who are doubtful OF the
strictly fresh" eggs furnished them by
their grocer can without breaking them
tell their condition. This can be done by
"candling'' the eggs.
In connection with the Gambling the
Department of Agriculture has published
a colored egg-candling chart. To give a
true picture of the eggs. twelve impress
sions were necessary to produce this lth-
ographic chart. The chart shows the eggs
In their natural size as they appear be-
fore candle and also as they look when
open in a glass saucer. The pictures in
clude an absolutely fresh egg. slightly
stale eggs. decidedly stale eggs, eggs
with yolks sticking to the shell, eggs
where the chicken has developed so far
that blood has been formed, moldy eggs,
added eggs and eggs with a green white,
Shiny Shells Bespeak Age.
It is not possible to tell the quality OF
an egg by looking at the shell, though it
1t safe to say that the eggs with shiny
looks as though it had been busted with
a very fine powder-the "bloom," as the
egg men say. But in order to know what
is inside the shell the egg must be held
in front of a strong light, such as an
electric bulb furnishes. which comes
through a hole about one and one-quarter
inches in diameter. The room must be
dark. When the egg is held close against
the hole the bright light renders its con-
tents visible and the quality is indicated
by the appearance Of the yolk, the white
and the air space at the blunt end There
are many egg "candles'' on the market,
but the housewife can easily make one
for herself by cutting a hole in a small
pasteboard box, which is slipped over an
electric light bulb. If gas or an Oil lamp
Is the source of light a tin box or can
should be used.
The charts prepared by the Department
Of Agriculture can be obtained from the
editor-in-chief Of the division of publi-
cations.

There Is a Good Reason.

Unfortunately there is reason. You
see. Mrs. Peter is a good mother, but
the best of US make mistakes. And the
mistake she made was in following the
advice of Mrs. Tortoise, who told her
to dress Little Peter in rompers. She
said that when she put rompers on Tiny
Tortoise the little chap became so sud-
denly lively that he stopped crawling
and began to romp all over-every-
where.
OF course. every good mother wants
her baby son to be lively, so Mrs. Rab-
bit made Littlest Peter a pair of romp-
ers-forgetting the difference between
a slow-poke tortoise and a Iipperty-lip
rabbit-and-well. he's been romp-
ing ever since. Sad, isn't it?
Peter sent word that he would Sat
urday-over at the Patch. the day being
a holiday at the S. B. S. c.. but that no
matter how the Mite matter turns out
he expects to be back for his talk

PETER REMAINS
IN GREEN FOREST
Helps Danny Meadow Mouse
to Bear His Great
Anxiety.

bear his anxiety, as
little Mite is now in
the hands Of Farmer Browns boy. And
there's no telling what he will do. The
little people who live in the woods and
fields around are in a gust of excitement
to see how Farmer Browns son is going
to treat baby Mite. If he spares the
little creatures life because it is help
less and will harm no one there will be
joyous hurrah go up from the Green
Forest and the Green Meadow and the
Smiling Pool It will mean that the
Brown boy is in sympathy with the s. B.
S. c.. and will be wearing Peter Rabbit
button-maybe-some day.
But oh, dear children-let us shiver
together at the bare thought! If any
harm comes to Danny's baby through
that boys cruelty-well, all the weep
ing willows down by the Pool will be
stripped to make mourning badges for
the little people to wear. So you can
see that Peter just has to stay at the
Patch until the crisis is over. Besides,
So the Certain Little Bird said in strict
est conf1dence-so please don't mention
it-Peter Rabbit really ought to take
day OFF to train Littlest Peter, who
has already run away twice to the very
edge of the great world.
