Purity Of EGGS,

The feeling generally prevails that
one egg is as wholesome and as clean
as another. We may fret and worry
about the possible germs that come
to us in the ice. We properly take
no end of precautions in favor OF a
pure milk supply. We insist on
wrapped bread and germless oysters
and a dozen other kinds of pure food.
But we trust the hen. Few of us ever
realize that any germ or uncleanli-
ness can penetrate the smooth sur.
face of the egg shells.
But that opinion just shows that we
do not know it all when it comes to
the pure food proposition. The very
fact that eggs grow stale" is proof
enough that trouble does penetrate
the shell. For this staleness is pro-
duced by the presence of micro-organ.
isms, which in growing produce pois.
onous products productive of ptomaine
poisoning.
So, too, eggs laid by hens not by
CHEMICALLY cared for may be carriers
of uncleanliness. TO insure the per
fectly clean egg the hen must have
clean nests, clean runs and an abun-
dance of clean, pure water.

PICK UP GOLD IN STREETS
On the Gold Coast Of Africa II Can Be
Done, Though Hardly Worth
While.

II is said that at AKIN, on the Gold
Coast Of Africa, gold may actually be
picked up in the streets. When one
visitor, an Englishman, took the state
ment as a mere figure Of speech, his
host Immediately babe woman serv'
ant go out into the main street. gather
a bucketful Of road scrapings and
work It for gold dust.
In ten minutes the servant returned
with two galvanized iron buckets, one
filed with road scrapings and the 9th
er with water. She also brought three
or four wooden platters, varying In
size from a large plate to a saucer.
Removing several handfuls OF the road
scrapings and placing them in the
large platter, the woman picked out
and threw aside the large stones, peb-
bles and bits of stick and then mois-
tened the remainder with water from
the other bucket. This enabled her to
remove smaller refuse.
The residuum she put into the next
smaller platter. and she repeated the
process until there was quantity OF
sand and gravel ready for treatment.
This she sprinkled freely with water,
and, by def circular movement of
the platter, brought the small gravel
TO the outside. where II could be thrust
over the edge. When she had repeat
ed this operation three or four times
she treated the material, which now
looked more like mud than anything
else, in still smaller platter.
At last, in the smallest platter OF
all, she had the bucketful of sweep
ings reduced to a handful or two of
sifted sand. This she carefully washed
and sifted. At last, with a dexterous
twist, she brought the sand into a
crescent, the outer edge of which
showed thin rim Of yellow. 1t was
Enthusiastically gold dust The whole
operation had taken half an hour, and
It had produced about a shillings
worth of gold.

VARIOUS EDITIONS OF BIBLE
After the Geneva Version, Authorities
Of the Anglican Church Prepared
a Revised Translation. ,sri

The first printed edition of the popu-
lar and - since - frequently printed
Geneva version of the Bible appeared
in Scotland in 1860, being commonly
termed the "Breeches" Bible. Because
Of the Puritanic and Calvinistic
tone of the text and marginal notes.
this edition was not favorably regard
ed by the authorities of the Anglican
church. A revised translation was
therefore prepared by Matthew Park
sr, archbishop OF Canterbury, aided by
eight bishops and the first scholars
Of that age This edition, printed in
black letter by Richard Jugge, was
issued as a stately folio in 1868, and is
known as the Bishops Bible" II Is
said to be the most sumptuous of the
long series of English folio Bibles. A
second edition in quarto appeared In
1869; and a second folio in 1872, also
contained two versions of the Psalter,
one in black letter being that Of the
Great Bible" the other in Roman let
ter being that of the Bishops" The
New Testament contained a number
Of pictorial initials taken from an edi-
ton of Ovid's "Metamorphoses, in
