Preserving Eggs.
Eggs should keep quite well for two
or three months In a cool dry cell sir.
They would deteriorate somewhat in
that time , but would probnbly be stale.
not decomposed. Eggs in cold siorago
are kept in a cold drj * air. Dampness
in the storage rooms will affect the
pasteboard fillers In the cases and im
part a .most disagreeable odor and j
taste of wet brown cardboard to the ;
eggs. So far as I have seen reports J
of tests with water glass , says a writer
In Farm-Pott I trj * . the eggs have been
put iu sjtone jars and the jars covered.
Why Keep Mongrels ?
If the production of eugs is the most
valuable branch of poultry culture ,
how , asks the Feather , can any one
who may be engaged even to a greater
or less extent in their production be
so shortsighted , so foolish , so careless ,
or so neglectful of their own interests ,
ns to brush aside the only valuable
feature of success , and to hold on to
the mongrel product , which scarcely
ever pays for its keep ?
How to Make tlje Molt Easy. '
Having fowls come through the molt
in good condition is wholly a matter of
good food and care , backing r.p ( or sup
porting ) the naturally good constitu
tional strength and vigor. In other
words , it is having the birds in first
class condition when they go into the
molt ar.tl then helping thorn by good
food and good care.
American Varieties the Best.
The British Fancier thinks that the
American varieties of fowls the Hocks
and Wyandottes arc the best general
purpose fowls In existence.
Market Preference as to Poultry.
Practically all the largo markets in
the United States require yellow skin
s ( or flesh ) and legs in first grade market
poultry. English and Canadian mar
kets call for white skin ( or flesh ) and
/legs for their better grades. Boston
and New York markets require dry
picked poultrj' and will only take the
scalded product at a discount. San
Francisco and Philadelphia insist upon
dry picked poultry and do not want
scalded. St. Louis , Chicago. Baltimore
and Washington prerer scalded poultry
except for storage purposes. Dry
picked poultry only is accepted for
cold storage.
i Man's Ruling V/ish.
There is one wish ruling over man
kind , and it is a wish which is never
in a single instance granted each
.man wishes to be his own master. It
Js a boy's beatific vision , and it re-
'mains the grownup man's ruling pas
sion to the last. But the fact is lifo is a
service. The only question is. Whom
shall we serve ? W. F. Faber.

Takes His Own Medicine.
In Baluchistan when the physician
gives a dose he is expected to partake
of a similar one himself as a guarantee
of his good faith. Should the patient
die under his hands the relatives ,
though they rarely exercise it. have
the right of putting him to death un
less a special agreement has been
'made freeing him from all responsi
bility as to consequences , while if they
should decide upon immolating him
he is fully expected to yield to his fata

Disease Among Pigeons.
In reading about the disearcs that
pigeon flesh is heir to , it Is no wonder
that a good many people arc deterred
from embarking in an enterprise where
such a handicap is against them. Poul
try Item truly observes. They would ,
however , think differently if they
could be assured that pigeons naturally
are most vigorous , lurcly and strong
birds. And when co ion sense and
regular and intellig' it management
are given them the question of disease
need be no stumbling block whatever.

Gulf Stream Fruit.
The superiority of certain English
fruits has its origin in a cause little
suspected. It is the ble.-pcd gutf
stream which docs it. Foreign g/ow-
ers are every bit as acute as the I Eng
lish , it may be. but they have not t he-
right atmosphere. The gulf stream
imparts a bcnclicont humidity to our
atmosphere which results in our fruit
having the thinnest and finest skins of
any in the world. The English straw
berry is without equal for.flavor. The
English grape , though it tn.iy not hart ?
the fine llavor of tlu1 Spanish , ha- ; the
best skin. The French lom-ito i. < as
thick skinned as the English field
grown. The English apple * eclipses its
rivals because of its thin skin. Every
fruit according to its climate1. Grown
in a different atmosphere , the English
apple would shrivel in a day : horc ,
helped by the moisture fioin the gulf
stream , it ripens within Ilia thinnest
of jackets and is as much superior to
the foreign or colonial apple as a peach
Is superior to a parsnip.St. . .Tallies'
Gazette.
A London Fog.
Nothing has such a bewildering ef
fect as fog. Only animals which find
their way by scent can get about in jt
with any certainty. Birds are entirely
confused by it. Tame pigeons remain
all day motionless and half asleep ,
huddled up , either in or just outside
their pigeon houses. Chickens remain
motionless for hours during heavy fogs.
Xo bird sings or utters a call , perhaps
because it fears to betray Its \vbcue
abouts to an unseen foe. During one
very thick fog a blind man was found
wandering about a certain district of
London. This man was in the habit of
coming up every day from u suburb ,
carrying notes and parcels , and had
scarcely ever lost his way before.
Asked why he had gone astray ( for he
was quite blind , and it was supposed
that weather would have made no dif
ference ) , he said that In a fog the
ground "sounded quite differently. "

The ordinary' seanhin's respect for

The same ceremony also takes place cti

On one occasion a president visited

one of the men rather indignantly
asked amther who that lubber was en

How to Follow Fcrcct Trails.
"The trail has a code of signs , as
well a < ; a book of laws , " as Ilamlin
Garland in "The Long Trail. " A twig
designedly broken is like a finger
pointing toward a gate. A 'blaze' cor
responds to the beckoning hand. A
ucw blaze renders an old one of no
I value. A sapling cut and bent across
. a path locks it and \varningly says ,
j 'Go no farther this way. ' A stick set
i upright in the mud means 'no bottom
here. '
"By use of these and many other
I records of the same sort , the trailer
' profits by the experience of those who
1 h-.ive gone before him and aids those
who are to follow. There is always
news on the trail for those who have
eye : ; to perceive it. and it is the duty
of him who rides ahead to enlighten
( hose who are to follow. The Klikitat
by means of signs almost invisible can
cheer , direct and definitely warn his
i tribesman. These signs on the trail
; are respected. Xo one thinks of re
moving them except for cause. "
At the Dentist's.
"Do yon give g-is here ? " asked a
wild looking man who rushed into a

"We do , " replied thedentist. .
"Docs it put a fellow to sleep ? "
"It does. "
"Sound asleep , so you can't wake
" *
him up : " '
"Yes. "
"You could break his jaw or black
his eye and he wouldn't feel it ? "
"lie would know nothing about it. "
"IIow long does he sleep ? "
"The physical insensibility produced
by inhaling the gas lasts a minute , or
probably a little less. "
"I expect that's long enough. Got it
all ready for a fellow to take ? "
"Yes. Take a scat in this chair and
show me your tooth. "
"Tooth nothing ! " said the excited
caller , beginning rapidly to remove his
coat and vest. "I want you to puii a
porous plaster off my back. "
Flowers That Change Color.
"There are many flowers that change
color , " said the old gardener. "There
is the mutabue phlox , for instance.
At sunrise it is blue , and In the after
noon it is pink. Then there is hibiscus
hibiscus mutabilis. It goes through
three changes in the day , from white
in the morning to rose at noon and to
red at sunset. Likewise the lantana.
The lantana is yellow one day , orange
the next and red the third. Its
changes are slow. There are other
flowers , too. that change. There's the
chieranthus chameleo. that shifts from
white to yellow and from yellow to
red. There's the gladiolus versicolor ,
that's brown In the mornjng and blue
In the evening. There's the colaea
scandcns. that moves slowly from
greenish white to a deep violet. "

Poisoned With Diamonds ,
The Jeweler replaced tenderly in Its
case the unmounted pear shaped dia
mond. "I could kill you with that , "
he said. "I could poison you with it
You would die in a few hours. " "But
diamonds arp not poisonous ? " "In
deed they ara. ground up. There have
been u number of suicides by diamond
dust among gem cutters. Swall < 5\v
diamond dust , and death will ensue
very quickly. Thp symptoms will be
the same fls though strychnine had

Her View of It.
"Don't you think , " asked Mrs. Old-
castle , "that Miss Witherspoon has a
patrician face ? " "Oh , " replied her
hostess , hanging her $00.000 necklace
over the back of a chair , "I don't think
flho has. She claims , at least , that her
folks wore all English and that 'there
ain't a drop of Irish blood in her
veins. " Chicago Kecord-nerald ,
