said Balxac to his hostess, '"is fame"
The tale reminds one Of Thackeray's,

Mr.. Chapman comments: "Balzac
has no art. no education. And yet,
somehow at the back of this there Is
"a big dynamic force in him-behind
all, through all. he clutches my heart
and brain--and not mine only but
every ones. What was II that made

There follows the portrait OF Balzac

the books, courageous. innocent. a
lover Of virtue, a prodigious worker.

Of classic, as powerful as Homer and
as remote from ourselves as the Hoo
meric myths. Mr.. Chapman's apprecia-
ton OF this literary giant is delightful
and uplifting. Also it Is true criticism
untrammelled and discerning.
The fourth essay in the volume is
slighter. Mr.. Chapman desires to dis
courage American women from living
abroad. lie is quite bitter upon this
subject. Old maids and women whose
domesticity is unsatisfactory have no
right. in his eyes. TO take refuge in
the refinements, the pleasures, Of Paris.
lie doubts whether among those who
| have succumbed to this evil a single
one has ever been captured by hus-
band or lover and brought home
to a legitimate American hearth
stone. Mr.. Chapman's observations
are limited. We know of two
who have been brought back by
lover and husband and are carefully
attending the education of their little
ones in small out of the way North
Carolina villages. where they are giving
what is left over Of their energies 10
the culture OF their small surround
ings What they brought back from
the Conservatoire and the Sorbonne is
quite stimulating to North Carolina
We suspect Mr.. Chapman OF believing
that the multiplication OF the race Is
the only legitimate function OF the
feminine half of the race. But surely
even he would not have the virgins
solely preoccupied with this function
Since they are forbidden the luxury oi
children, why, pray. should they no

Many Housewives Know the Simplest

Are the eggs for which YOU pay 40
cents better than those which cost 30f
Test them to see.
Much handling makes eggs shiny
Those direct from the farm are dull,
Ii an egg is stale some of the water
OF its composition has eyaporatei

tered, and the egg Is light
To test, put in a deep pan OF water
First bad IL will float
Second.-lf stale II will be light
enough TO slant away from the bottom
OF the pan or stand on end,
Third If fresh its weight causes II
to sink.
This test will make you wish eggs
could always be bought by the pound,
as In some places. instead of by the
dozen.
Because the cggshel il porous and
readily absorbs impurities from dirty

washed before being put away.

background.
Around the yolk of an egg is thin
tissue, which holds the yolk together.
When decomposition occurs the yoli
breaks this membrane and becomes
mixed with the white. BY holding the
egg before a strong light the yolk can
easily be seen as n large dark spot,
If bad, the yolk has broken its mem.
brane and this dark spot cannot be
noticed
There Is also a tissue around the
white of an egg which in beating the
whites stiff, must be broken into in.
finitesimal pieces before the egg Will
become light and fluffy.
A few grains of salt dropped into
the white before beating will at each
turn Of the beater help to cut this
membrane.
The whites then beat up much
sooner than II the salt had not been
added.
Table for cooking eggs without keep

One egg, one.half pint OF boiling
water Two or three eggs. pint Of
boiling water Three to five eggs, one
and onc-half pints of boiling water.
Five to eight eggs, a quart.
Put the eggs into the water while 1t
is boiling hard and Immediately set
the dish away from the fire, Fifteen
or twenty minutes will be required to
cook the eggs After that time the
water will have reached 140 degrees
and will do no more cooking, but will
keep the eggs warm long time.

0eorgetown's varsity nine gets at least
one player into the all-star fielding
team among the Eastern colleges this

ployed fifteen games without an error.
Is credited with being the best fielding
frst-sacker in the seaboard section Of
the country.
The Hilltop infielders were. generally.
poor fielders. according to the records
announced today. Red" Cusack. with
q mark of 500. was absolutely last

was third last among shortstops. while
Weiss. playing second for $50 in twelve
games. was fifth from the bottom.
Murphy, with seq in sixteen games.
holds cellar position for second base
men.

gardener. closed the season with a mark
of 1883 in twenty-oIe games. This en-
titles him to seventeenth place among
college outfielders.
Tufts. which led the college baseball
mines in team batting. had also the best
fielding combination, turning In an
average for its twenty-five games Of
1864. Harvard. too. had a splendid field
ing nine. which had an average Of 800
and Columbia. which with the other
two ranked as the best all-around team
OF the East. had an average Of 1888.
Dartmouth was close to Columbia.
whose hitting was below par. fieldcd at
$40 clip. Pennsylvania. too. despite
Its weakness in other directions. had a
capital fielding nine with an average Of
.9is Lehigh. Brown and Holy Cross
were within couple of points of each
other. while Princeton. with .937. Will
iiams and Fordham with 1896. and AM
herst with 1886. rank next.
The individual leaders among those
who played their positions regularly
were: Cass. Georgetown. first base
Perkins. Dartmouth. second base;
Shepley. Yale. third base; Saunders,
TUFTS. shortstop; Percy, Harvard; o Con-
nell, Cornell. and Seibert and Stately,
