Toss them lightly, and place them in layers with salt sprinkled freely between, in a large covered dish. Add petals to this every, morning. Let the whole stand for ten days, shaking thoroughly every morning. In the bottom of a glass fruit jar place two ounces of whole allspice, crushed, and two ounces of stick cinnamon, broken coarsely Fill the^4®r with rose petals and salt. When ready for the permanent jar, advises a writer in the Indianapolis News,'mix one ounce each of ground cloves, auspice cinnamon and mace,' and one ounce of orris root shredded arid bruised; add two ounces of lavender flo^vers. These are the proportidhs for one quart of rose petals. Place this mixture in alternate layers with the petals as prepared in the rose jar tBat is to be useci permanently. A few drops of som« fiowerperfume, Such as geranium, rose or violet, may be added." Pour over the whole pne^fourth pint of cologne. The best jar has a double cover with no holes or vents in either cove?. The iar will last for years, but should never be uncovered for more than an hour twice a day. How to Tell Fresh Egg From the Spoiled Kind Here are three ways in which you can tell a really fresh egg from a stale one, according to London Answers Magazine. ^ * 1. The surface o,f a fresh egg is fairly rough and definitely not shiny. A stale egg is shiny as a result of all the handling it has had. 2. When a fresh egg is held to a very strong light, the light shines through it perfectly clearly, showing ^nly the tiniest air space at one end. A stale egg shows a largeair space and may also appeaar cloudy. <sf • When trying test No. 2, it's no good just holding the egg up to the sunlight. It should be held close against an electric light bulb. 3. Put 2 ounces of salt into a pint of water in a glass. A fresh egg will sink at once to the bottom.- A stale egg floats near the surface. - How Language OrifinatrfML The origin of language is a question concerning which philologists are not agreed. It was assumed at one time that the first words were imitative of natural sounds. Later it was supposed that they were interjections or exclamations. A thira theory is the "gesturespeech" Aieory, in which the origin of language is traced to the expressive movements shared by man with the animals. Certain gestures which involved muscles of the face, mouth and tongue were accompanied, it was argued, by sound. None of these theories has as yet proved adequate in explaining tnjp development of modern language. How to Pack Flower* When packing flowers for shipping, remember that they will travel better wrapped in damp newspaper and rolled fairly tight at the stem end. Roses and carnations should have a piece of smooth absorbent cotton wrapped around the delicate petals. The box in which the flowers are packed should be intact. If too long fill the ends with rolls of paper. Pack flowers lightly and place a few sheets of tissue paper on top. All these aids keep the flowers from being shaken while in transit. On arrival, long-stemmed flowers should be plunged in a, bucket of water and short-stemmed ones should be put in a bowl. Gypsies Live in, Tents May Be Easily Answered. Just why the gypsies live In fonts and never settled down is a question for a gypsy himself to answer. But he never could say it in words. A shrug, a laugh--"Why not?"--is the best he will ever do, observes a writer in the Chicago Tribune. Perhaps his innate need for absolute freedom--freedom to the point of eliminating all the law and order and responsibility atterfdant to civilization-- comes from his JQHNSBUKG Mrs. George King spent Wednesday in Woodstock with her sister, Mrs. Mike Gorski.

Miss Regina Klein and Miss Thelma The old boyars of Rumania used jLay visited Mrs. George Lay at St. to free their gypsy slaves, allowing one member of each family to go away at a time, holding the rest to insure his return. If the. masters neglected thus occasionally to let the gypsies loose, the latter presently would develop consumption or tu* berculosis and die.

There is an art $tore in Greenwich Village in which are displayed 'many canvases from local Bohemians, the New York Sun says. Recently two women strolled up to the window and gazed at the masterpieces. In the corner of each was stuck a card giving the price. Some were offered for as little as $10 but one bore a card reading $200. The younger of the women expressed surprise. "Two hundred dollars, Mary/' she exclaimed, "Think of that!" Mary, who looked as if her husband recently had come into sdme money and who meanwhile had acquired an accent which she thought smacked of Park Avenue, flooked scornfully at her companion. "Gertrude," she condescended to explain, "it is hand-painted, you see." Joseph hospital in Elgin, Thursday. | Miss Katherine Althoff of Elgin j spent Sunday with her mother, Mrs. j William Althoff.
