Not that I'm kicking. T his is democracy

Many persons do not realize that the
shells of eggs do not always keep out odors
and favors of other food IL you keep
eggs in a refrigerator or food cupboard
near to such things as bananas, cooked
cabbages, strong cheese, you need not be
surprised if the eggs lose their dehcacy of
flavor. Eggs should not be washed when
they come into your house. II would be
nice if YOU could wash eggs because then
YOU would feel that they were perfectly
clean, but it is fact that water washes
off something in the shell that helps protect
the egg. 1t is quite all right to wash them
eventually, but this should be just before
using them. For the reason that eggs
cannot be washed careful housewives do
not keep eggs in the refrigerator with Other
food but select some place where the air
is fairly cool Providing they are cool
they reed not be kept at such low tempera-
ture as is necessary for meat and milk
If YOU are frying, or poaching, eggs it
is a good plan to break each egg first IN a
shallow saucer In this way you can see
if it is perfectly good before putting it in
the cooking dish and You viii find that
it is easier TO get the egg IN the pan II you
can slip it off from a shallow saucer
lf IT breaks in opening this need not mean
that the egg is not good, though you might
not wish to fry or poach it. II will do well
enough for scrambled eggs or for cooking
where it is not necessary to keep the
whites and yolks separate, and should
be put aside for that purpose.
II is worth remembering that the bulk
of an omelette or scrambled eggs may be
increased without impairing the favor or
appearance of the dish il a little cornstarch
mixed to q smooth paste with cold milk
or water is mixed in with the eggs. This
also makes the eggs smooth and creamy
and really adds to the goodness of the
dish in many persons estimation

Why Are Gargoylcs Placed on Churches
Undoubtedly wealth of imagination
and skill must have been expended on
many of the gargoyles which adom the
walls of old church and otheer ancients
buildings. Al sorts Of quaint and hideous
figures Of man. beasts and birds are
chiselled out of the solid stone, but the
most common ia that of n dragon tho
emblem Of Satan cast out of the holy
precincts of tho church and condemned
to perform the manual service Of acting
as a spout 20 carry off tho rain water from
the roof. for this ia tho real function OF
even such elaborate gargoyles as those
which are ON the Cathedral Of Notre
Dame IN PRrs
In this connection il is interesting 20
recall that Gargnuile was the name Of the
great dragon reputcd To have lived in the
Seine until he was slam by Romanus,
bishop of Rouen. in the Seventh Century
Possibly there ia some allusion Co this
dragon in the name "gargoyle, but the
most commonly accepted explanation of
the origin of the term is that Il Is taken
from the Freuch word gargouile. meaning
windpipe or throat and applied TO these
bizarre figures becaI7e they were made
to convey the water through their throats
