MONEY FOR MERCHANTS
Middlebury storekcepers to he Rein
bursed for Depredations


The Boulder society, senior honor
airy society at the University of YER
mont, has been quietly investigating
the unfortunate depredations commit
ted upon several Middlebury stores on
November 10. directly after the Mid
dlebury-Vermont footbali game, and
before the students had left the town
for Burlington. A delegation of three
men from the society went to Middle
bury last Friday and interviewed the
merchants who suffered loss and at
the same time consulted with states
Attorney A. r. Sturtevant of Addison
county
Arrangements were made to make
good the money loss, suffered by the
merchants as an evidence that the stu
dent body of the University of YER
mont were not behind any such ac-
lions. whether committed by some of
their own number or by some of the
numerous Rutland and Burlington towns
people who were in the vanguard of
the crowd that swarmed over the town
between the end of the game and
train time.
This action was taken voluntarily on
the part of the students no summons
having been sent by the States at
torney The merchants said that what
they wanted was the return Of the
goods or the equivalent in cash, and
that II this was forthcoming no charges
would be pressed by them. However,
such action on their part does not stop
the State from pressing charges
against the guilty persons If such are
found.
If much depredations were commit
ted they were the work of but a small
coterie of the entire crowd of Vermont
students present in Middlebury on that
occasion. and the remainder of the stu
dents keenly resent the undescrved no.

to the University and its student body
as a whole.

PRESERVING EGGS WITHOUT
WATER GLASS

Since the idea Of artificial incubation
of eggs is supposed to have come from
China, it is not surprising that the
Chinese have ideas of their own about
egg preservation. In the journal of
Home Economics Chi Che Wang gives
some interesting receipts.
At least three different kinds of pre-
served eggs are produced-hulidan, or
sailed ducks eggs, disaudan, or ferment
ed eggs, and pidan, the socalled Chin
csc old eggs" The first kind is pre-
pared either by simple immersing fresh
ducks eggs in a saturated cold solution
of common salt or by coating them with
"A mixture of salt an dred earth or wood
ashes. After one month or longer they
are ready for use. They are eaten hard
boiled, and their appearance is not much
different from fresh eggs.
Fermented eggs are not so simple TO
make. In order to prepare them clean.
fresh ducks eggs are packed in jars
containing mixture of salt, clay and
fermented boiled rice and stored away
for six months or so. The shell Of the
egg has then been softened or dissolved
ard the inner membrane Of the shell is
greatly thickened. The egg Is somewhat
coagulnted, and looks like a soft -boiled
egg. but 1t has a strong wlne-like taste
and odor.
Pidan, the third kind, is a factory prod
uct rather than a home product. The
fresh ducks eggs are washed. coated one
by one with mixture of lime, wood
ashes. salt and tea infusion. and stored
away for six months to year, or even
longer. Then they are covered further
with rice hulls and are ready for the
market BY this time the texture of the
egg Is almost like that of hard boiled
eggs the yok is greenish gray; the
white looks exactly like coffee jelly
brown in color and translucent The
egg has an ammonia odor that is decid-
eddy dinerent from that of spoiled eggs.
1t tastes salty and Is lightly pungent All
the natives are very fond of It and con-
sider II more or less as a delicacy, US

THE FAMOUS TABERNACLE
The Tabernacle Immediately to the
west OF the Temple Is also a remarkable
ouiIoIng. IL LOOKS much like a huge,
petrified turtle. The turtles back or
roof Is the largest non-supported donna
In the world. It rests entirely on the 4s
sandstone pillars built into the walls
and mas no Interior supports. At the time
IL was built no steel or nails were avail
able, SO the roof was tackled together
with wooden pegs reinforced with raw
hide. The Tabernacle seats 10000 people
and can be emptied in four minutes
through its q 12-foot doors The acoustic
properties are 80 marvellous that a pin

Having put the infant Mormon empire

tearing men from their placid pats and

best. or worst, whichever you prefer, to
dissuade them from taking up their

The finances of the association come
from membership fee Of 800 and the
payment of one-half OF one per cent of

returned to the local association and five

council will advertise dairy products
throughout tho cities in New England.
