Numerous methods Of preserving The idea of all at them is to keep air out. of the eggs, as by such absence Of oxygen decay can be arrested for a considerable ’length of time, especially if the eggs are perfectly fresh at the start and are kept in a cool, dark place. The standard method most used by spec- ulators and dealers is to put eggs in, lime water. The process is as follows, this receipe having been widely sold at 35 under pledge of secrecy: Take two gallons of water, twelve pounds of un«‘ slaked lime and four pounds of salt, .or in that proportion according to the quantity of eggs to be preserved. Stir several times daily and then let stand until the liquid has settled and is per- fiectly clear. Draw or carefully dip off the clear liquid, leaving the sediment at the bottom. Take for the above amount of liquid five ounces each Of baking soda, cream of tartar, salt pc- ter and an ounce of alum. Pulverize .and mix these and dissolve in one. gal< ion of boiling water and add to the mixture about twenty gallons of pure lime water. This will about fill a cider barrel. Put the eggs in carefully so as not to crack any Of the shells, letting The water al'u ays stand an inch above the eggs, which can be done by plac- ing a barrel head a little smaller upon them and weighting it. This amount of liquid will preserve 150 dozen of eggs. it is not necessary to wait to Set a full barrel or small package of eggs, but they can be put in at any, time that they can be obtained fresh.

Will you have time to drop into Wheels & Pin- it there to be fixed the last time 1 war down." ‘,'Sure, old man," agreed M-r. Toggles cordially. “Well, here’s the money to pay to: it, and I’ll be everlastineg obliged," said Mr. Woggles. 1 “Oh, that’s all right; glad to accom- modate," responded Mr. Toggles. “Say, Toggles," asked Mr. Woggles, a couple of weeks later, “didn't yOu gel ‘- my watch dowu in the city for me?” “Sure, old man,” replied Mr. Tog- Klee. “Well, where is it?” asked Mr. Wog- glee. "Why, the fact is," explained Mr. Toggles, elaborately, “I ran into a. pret- ty gay gang down there, went broke, and had to pawn it." “My watch!" gasped Mr. Woggles. . -"Sure,” certified Mr. Toggles. “But it was for only $15, and I’ll send the ticket around to you in the morning." "But it was my watch,” insisted Mr- Woggies, pathetically. ‘ “Of course," assented Mr. Toggles. "Say, you didn’t suppose I’d pawn min! with yours in my pocket, did you?” “But how about the fifteen dollars?" queried Mr. Woggles, with a. puzzled frown. “Why should I pay that?" “Why, you don’t mean to say you'd watch for fifteen dollars, do _ you?" cried Mr. Toggles, lifting his eyebrow: “But-â€"‘-but it seems to me you ought to pay that,” asserted Mr. Woggles, with a perplexed hesitancy. _ “Why should I?" demanded Mr. Tog- gles, brickly. “It's your watch, isn't ‘it'lf’ “Ye-es," acknowledged Mr. Woggles, d'oubttully. “Ye-es, I suppose it is butâ€"erâ€"oh, confound you!” "Now, see here, Woggles," said Mr. Toggles, decisively, “you claimed you’d - be obliged if I got your darned old watch for you, and I went to a lot of trouble to do it, but if I’d known you were going to lose your temper and kick up all this fuss about it I’d never have consented to accommodate you in the world. The next time you want a favor done you go to somebody else,” and Mr. Toggles Walked off with a highly indignant swing. a... Mr. Woggles has hired a lawyer to find out exactly what obligation he is under. The Lawyer Gave nor Up. It is“ not an ordinary lawyer who can overcome a woman's reluctance to I tell her age. Here is one of the many failures in that line of effort: “And what is your age, madam?" was the attorney’s question. “My own,” she answered promptly. "I understand that, madam, but how old are you?" "I am not old, sir,” with indigna- lion. “I beg your pardon, madam. I mean how many years have you passed?" “None; the years have passed me." “How many of them have passed you?" ' “All. Ping." “Madam, you. must answer my quesâ€" tion. I want, to know your age." "I don’t know that the acquaintance is desired by the other side." “I don't see why you insist upon re. fusing to answer my question," said the attorney coaxingly. "I am sure I would tell how old I was if I were asked.” “But nobody would ask you, for everybody knows you are old enough to know better than to be asking a woman her age, so there.” And the attorney passed on to the next questionâ€"From an Exchange. 08¢fl$ޢtÂ¥t$t$fit$ttl WEEP- a I a D ,, “Why do you weep?

A capital story relating to good old times is still told in the Fen district of the eastern counties. As is well known by many, and even now remembered by some, a bass viol was often proâ€" cured to help the choirs in parish churches. One lovely Sunday morning in the summer. while iii-‘- 'g'arson was dron- ing out his drowsy discourse, and had about reached the middle, 3. big ball managed to escape from his pasture and marched majestically doWn the road, bellowing defiantly as he came. The parson, who was somewhat deaf, heard the bull bellow, but, mistaking the origin Of the sound, gravely g’anced toward the sing-ers’ seats, and said, in tones of reprosz “I would thank the musicians not “to tune up during service timeâ€"it an- noys me very much.” A's-may well be imagined, the choir looked greatly surprised, but said noth- ing. Very soon, however, the belligerent bull gave another bellow, and then the aggrieved parson became justly ind.g( aant. ‘ ' ' ' Dtolclully Nut.
