SOCIETY.


7 am not in society this winter"
says a young society woman. Il am
too busy to go into society,"" remarks
a young man
What is society anyway, the so
ciety about which the foregoing was
spoken? Really, don't know, and
the three big dictionaries refuse 70
enlighten me. At guess, | should
say that probably the young people
/ quoted refer to the collection of per-
sons they meet when they go out,
when they are away from home, at
balls, parties. and other invitation
| functions, and not necessarily TO the
individuals whom they visit. Perhaps
they are unfortunate enough to be-
long to some alleged exclusive form
OF society, or to some clique or col
lection of conceited people, who. be
cause they don't know where they
stand, assume to stand for something
about which they know nothing.
Thousands, yes, hundreds Of thou
sands, Of young people have injured
their presents and discounted their
futures by going into what they call
society" Yes. many men and WON
en- have sacrificed their souls upon
the altar Of society"
Young people should have friends,
they should not be bookworms or
room hermits They should intermin-
gle, they should exchange expert
ences, play games OF conversation,
and other games: but all this does not
mean going into society" for soci-
ETY. is commonly understood as sim
| ply another word for excess. with or
without the winecup.
1t is a significant fact that our great
merchant princes. our men of prodi-
gious intellect, our famous discover
ers and scientists, our men OF mark
in every walk of life, care more for
sociability than for society. and not
one in hundred of them is in so
ciety." They live natural lives, make
friends among their kind. and enjoy
social intercourse. They don't care
fig whether Mrs Tone invites them
to her most exclusive ball, or whether
Mr., Highbrow includes them in his
list of dinner guests.
Many men of wealth, and more men
who haven't any, sacrifice the vitality
Of life to get into society" and when
they get in they spend half OF their
time keeping in. When they become
old enough TO know better. they go
out into Natures out-of-doors, breathe
the fresh air. and mentally, and some
times physically, kick themselves for
the folly of their silly ambition.
Don't worry about finding your 80
ciety'' level. Your level will come TO
you. and any level you try to reach,
which is either above or below your
proper sphere, is disastrous.
Bear in mind, young man and young
woman. that mere money. the ability
to dance the tango. and the capacity
for small talk, are not keys which
will unlock the door OF good society
If your ancestors came here in the
overcrowded Mayflower, or your sew

may not be any better than other peo-

world feeds on the same kind of meat.

nowhere and ends in the Land OF
Nothing.

EnsiIaae for Lambs.

Lambs that are being fattened need
some kind of succulent food, and for
this purpose corn,ensilage is good
substitute for roots. The expense of
growing, and the additional labor re
quired in caring for them. make the
growing of root crops Improbable for
many of the flock owners, especially
when ensilage can be produced more
easily and for less cost per ton.

be made by cutting up clover leaves

PRESERVING EGGS.
lPart o

Water glass is a heavy or
thick straw-colored liquid, and
may be purchased at a reason
able price from any druggist.
Many factors enter into the
price demanded. Quality, guam
tity. and the degree of desire
the merchant has to become
wealthy are the three governing
factors. In barrel lots it may
be purchased at from 20 to 80
Sents a gallon. In fiye-gallon
cans it should cost from 45 to 70
cents a gallon, BY the gallon It
may cost as high as TWO dollars.
There IS much water glass OH
the market that is not good.
Good water glass is but slightly
alkaline, while poor water glass
contains an excessive amount
of alkali, which deteriorates the
shell Of the eggs to a point
where it is likely to break in the
jar. Toovercone the excess Of
alkali, from q teaspoonful to a
tablespoonful Of vinegar should
be added to a gallon of the
water glass. In making the
preserving solution from 10 to
~ parts Of water that has been
boiles and cooled should be used
to one part Of water glass.
For a receptacle in which to
pack the eggs, nothing better
than an ordinary three or five.
gallon stone crock can be used.

kegs may be used with entire
satisfaction. The vessel should

trade in stockers and feeders
this week was light. High pri-

Other sales of steers averaging

The demand was largely for the

Kan 3as City, June 3.-Sharp-

opening weakness on Monday,
following the good gains made
in beef steers last week, in spite
of the fact that matured beeves
are growing scarcer every day.
There was an increase of 6,0OC

10000 over last year. Choice
to prime finished steers were
scarce and continued to advance
reaching the highest level ever
known at this season of the
year.

ed in the position in which it is
to remain before the eggs are
put in it. The eggs should be
stored in a moderately cool,
well ventilated cellar orroom.
The ideal egg for preserving,
besides being infertile, should
be naturally clean and not wash
ed clean, free from checks and
not over seven days old. The
eggs should be carefully packed
in the jar nntiI It is filled to
within an inch or an inch and a
half of the top, The solution
is then poured over the eggs till
they are completely covered.
Place cloth cover and then
the lid of the vessel over them.
From time to time look at the
eggs to see that the liquid has
not evaporated and allowed the
top eggs to become exposed to
the air. Should such an occur
renee happen, pour enough boil
ed and cooled water into the
jar to completely cover the
eggs.
In general this completes the
operation. However, there are
a few points to which attention
should be called. A white pre-.
cipitate, which is silicic acid,
forms in the jar. This is a pois-
onous substance, but there is
absolutely no danger from it if
all eggs are washed before US
ling. To boil water glass eggs,
a PIN hole should be made in
the large end OF the egg, to allow
for expansion of air. Normally
the shell of an egg is porous,
but when preserved in water
| glass it is sealed with a thin
coating Of glass, which is iden-
ticsl with window glass and
which makes it necessary to
make an escape for the air when
boiling the egg. The hands
should be kept out Of the solu-
tion, as it will make them rough
and sore. One cracked OF check
