Preserving EGas.-At q late meet
ing of the Western New York Farm.
er's Club, Mr.. Quinby gave his
method of preserving eggs. Ills
practice is to gather the eggs from
the nests, and when two or three
dozen are obtained, to place them IN
dish and pour scalding water over


them. and Immediately turn 1T OIL
This process is repeated three times,
bv which means the albumen is filled
| or coagulated, the pores OF tho shell


closed, and the egg, as it were, canned
| in its own covering. Thus prepared


the eggs arc ready to be packed


away in the cask designed TO hold


them for future use. Spread a layer


OF salt over the bottom of the c'ssk


or crock, sufficient to steady the


eggs. and then set them in y circle


apex downward, till the surface is
| covered with eggs. Add more salt


and proceed as before till the eask is
| flled-the top layer being covered


with salt tor tho exclusion OF lb'
air, Put down in this way, eggs vii
, keep as fresh as when first laid, for
long time. They have been foaa5 a
, fresh at the end of the year ae whe'
first laid, with no perceptible chang
4 in the flavor.

which We wish to direct attention 81


this time, is tho glory and strength
of the German Nation, among b 9
powers Of Europe, a. proof of the


statement that knowledge is power.
No nation on tho globe equals Cor


many in the spread of education


among all classes Of its people. A


greater proportion Of her people are

favored land. Just now the signs Of


the times Indicate preparation
for tho wager Of battle between
the German Empire and Russia. -


Having within the last Eve years


whipped the Austrian and French


nations, Russia feels as though the
gauntlet had been thrown down to her;
at least she feelsjealouso of the growing
power Of Prussia, and may think it
best inorder to show her supremacyto to
measure arms with the young giant.


What however we desired to say in
this article, is that we are convinced
that it is the education, the general
prevalence Of intelligence among the
German people which has placed
that Dstion in the forefront and given
her preeminence over her once pow
erful rivals. The German soldiers
are in the main oil fit for intelligent
officersRnd 60 the physical power put
forth is directed by intelligent brain

1t also iofeats the growth Of super

stand before the Teutons in any case
where the numbers are anything like
the sane. 1t is the educated mind
of Germany that has given, and is
giving the new empire its promi-

The Daily State Leader, tho new


Democratic paper at the Capital Of


the State, explains its position on


that plank in the Democratic State


platform, which proposes that the


national debt be paid thusIy:


eaOuR DEBr.-Two billions Of dol


lars is sum beyond tho feeble con-


ception Of the human mind. None


of us are able to grasp it. Yet there


rests upon this country q mortgage
Of nearly two and a half billions.


Add to this sum The State, county,


township and corporation indebted
ness and what we owe amounts to
probably twicc that sum. Will it
ever be paid In Justice to our


selves, to this tax cursed country


should these immense outrages and
swindling obligations ever be dis
charged? OF course the bond


holders and the excruciating patriot
ic fellows will say that every dollar
should be paid, and paid in gold.
Perhaps it should; perhaps policy
would dictate it, and possibly strlct
construction Of law might demand it.
But one thing is certain, the great
mass of the people of these United
States will never feel any very
pressing moral obligations to, pay
either principal or interest of the
immense sums that are now claimed
against this nation. The truth is,
there is no moral obligation in the
matter; it is question Of policy or
of law. e s4.


So the Democratic State organ
spits upon this important plank in
their "New Departure" platform, and
shows what has always been sppar-
ent to every observing and honest
man, that democracy is reputation.
We know that il is hard for traitors
to help pay tho debt, created in
whipping them, and SO the rebel por-
tion OF the democracy, which consti-
tutes the larger portion of the party,
have always for years past preached
reputation, and cannot now help
but say occasionally, though ordina-
rily they play the hypocrite well, that
they are not in favor ofpaying the
national debt. Now that the State
organ has gone back on the platform,
we suppose the smaller fry will dare
to open their mouths and give utter

In commenting upon the policy pursued toward the Apache Indians at Camp Thomas few weeks since, we expressed the convic- ton that they would boldly take the warpath at any time that favorable opportunity might offer, and the recent news from Camp Goodwin, fully corroborates our opiOion. An old Indian at Camp Goodwin, last week, we are told, in. formed the commanding officer that a grand conspiracy had been planned by the Indians at Camp Thomas, to capture the next train that should leave for that post The trAin therefore, did not leave Goodwin upon the appointed day; nor will it leave until an escort of sufficient strength to ensure its safety, can be spared.

When Mr.. Thomas Mason failed, and
had to sell everything, and go away from
home, he felt very bad; but what made
him feel worst was selling Hilary's pony.
Mr.. Mason never was married, and Hila-
ry was his nephew; and the uncle thought
as much of him as if the boy had been his
own son.


"But cant even keep your pony my
boy" he said. For, after all, bought it,
and on.y called it yours; and everything
| have belongs to my creditors


Hilary was little Texas boy whose
father and mother were in South America.
Hilary went there with them while, but
the hot climate made him sick, so they
sent him North to his uncle. They were
not very rich, but they were in hopes to
be rich enough soon to come home and
live. Mr.. !Iason had good income where
he was in Rio Janerio, and didn't like to
leave it Just then. Besides, they had three
children with them, younger than Hilary,
and it was not so easy to move in a hur-
ry.


When Mr.. Mason failed and lost all OF
his money, he did not lose all his friends.
One of them offered him very good situ-
alton as agent to travel in Europe, and he
could do no better than accept. So he
placed Hilary at boarding-school for
boys, and then went off on his travels.


Then commenced poor Hilary's troubles.
There was no one present to protect him,
and he was iltreated. He hadn't enough
to cat, and he was scolded and shut up in
his room when he didn't have his lessons
well enough and the money his father
sent him to spend he never got.


He almost cried his eyes out with home
sickness and hunger, and then he ran away.
1t was bad enough, but it could have been
worse; and maybe he was happier wander
ing barefoot over the country, doing err
rands for people here and there, than he
would have been at the school of Mr.. Pi-
per. You see, he crept down stairs, when
he ran away, with his shoes in his hand,
meaping to put them on when he reached
the road but fancying that he heard some
one in pursuit, he ran and lost his shoes
on the way. That's the way he came to
be barefoot.


But after time the wandering got to
be very tiresome, and once more Hilary
grew homesick, and cried for his poor
uncle who had indulged him SO, and wished
his father and mother would come home
or send for him TO come to them. The
boy never recollected that i they should

FEvERs IN FowIs.-A writer in the
american Rural Home" thus gives his
experience in managing fowls subjected
to- fevers at the period Of Matching:


THE most decided species of fever to
which fowls are subject, occurs at the Pc
riod of Matching when the animal heat is
often so increased as to be perceptible to
the touch. A state of fever may also be
observed when the hen is about to lay.
This generally is Of small consequence,
when the birds are otherwise healthy; but
it is of moment if any other disorder is
present, since, in such case the original
malady will be aggravated. Fighting also
frequently occasions fever, which some.
times proves fatal. The symptoms are
over increased circulation of the blood
excessive heat and restlcssness. The
treatment should be light food and change
of air; and if necessary, aperient medi
cine, such as castor oil, with a little
burned butter, given morning and evening
until the fowl is thoroughly purged. Thi'
treatment hardly ever fails to restore tn,
bird to healthy condition"

The INTERIOR OF THE EARTH.-We sup.
pose that Prof. David Forbes of England;
knows as much about the interior of the
earth as any man living. In late lecture
he insisted that all the objections brought
by theology, mathematics bF astronomy,
against the old theory that the earth is
molten mass surrounded by crust fifty
miles thick, are quite untenable. He would
have us believe, while the outer layer of
melted matter just below the earth's crust
may be kind Of Stag, that, not far below
this layer, a salamander bent on discovery
would find the pure molten metals, of
which the heaviest-gold, platinum, etc.
be at the earth's centre. Very likely the
mass of the earth is motion iron; and this
view is quite corroberated by the fact
that the broken fragments of some disrup-
ted world, which, in the form of arolites,
are continually falling from the sky, are
often metallic iron.

hundred degrees, that is not hotter than
healthy heat, pour some of the oil on the

not set it on FIRE, it is safe, and you should
tell every friend and neighbor where they
can purchase kerosene oil which cannot
blow them up, burn them to death or scare
them out of their wits. IF the clothing
should take fire, lie down instantly and roll
yourself up in carpet, blanket, or any
thing else at hand. If you stand up while
the clothes are on fire, the flames rise
about the head and face, and breathing it
in is certain death. If you lie dawn, the
fame goes upward, and the face is un.
touched. Rolling yourself in carpet or
