After a preâ€" tence at lunch, he perambulated the streets. He must learn his fate from the newspapers. At last the breathâ€" less shouts of a newsboy brought him to his senses. The coin he handed the hoarseâ€"voicâ€" ed youth was snatched with uncereâ€" monious haste. He folded the paper with an assumption of nonchalance and sneaked down a side turning. His hand shook as he covertly opened it and looked at the "stop press" column. Jollyboy,1; Murgis, 2; Sans Souci, 3. His heart almost stopped beating.

Crocks that are too large are not desirable. Eggs put in the crock firs; should be used first. Replace with cool boiled water any water that has evaporated.

Place, clean, fresh eggs in an earthenware‘ crock or jar and pour the clear limeâ€"| ~*~~~ water into the vessel until the eggal EA are covered. ‘ Place the eggs in the solution. If the poultry yard has not supplied an adequate quantity of eggs for immeâ€" diate use, they may be added from time to time. See that at least three inches of the solution covers the eggs at all times: Place the crock or jar in a cool, dry place, well covered to prevent _ evaporation. Waxâ€"paper placed on and tied around the top of the jar will serve the desirad end. To Preserve Eggs. Select fresh eggs that are clean, but not washed. Use infertile eggs if possible. Take nine quarts of water that has been boiled and cooled, and add one quart of waterâ€"glass (sodium silicate). Place the mixture in a fiveâ€" gallon crock or jar. This amount of liquid will preserve fifteen dozen eggs. For larger amounts, mix the solution in the same proportion.
