An Ohio woman who claims to have had twenty years of successful experience in the matter, furnishes this recipe for keeping eggs: Take good fresh e"gs and rub them over with melted !aru, thus closing the pores in the shell. Then put a layer of oats or bran in a box and a layer of eggs, setting them on the small end and not allowing them to touch each other—separating them by <~ats Or bran. In this way fill the box, and the eggs will keep fresh. » 4 - Milk Diet for Laying* Hens. Please listen to the substance of an instructive little story lately told by a Canada editor: A neighbor whose hens, to our exasperation, kept laying on when eggs were twenty-five cents a dozen, wliile ours persistently laid off during the same season, on being ques tioned, revealed the fact that hia hens had a pailful of skimmed ^(perhaps clab bered) milk each day, and no other drink.

To Dress Vegetables. Wash greens thoroughly; pick them close, for an outside leaf will spoil a dishful; split the stems of cabbages across twice. They should be washed in a pan, as particles of sand or dust hang to the sides of wooden vessels. Do not pour water on them; draw the w^ter and then plunge thorn in; throw into the water a handful of salt, as that will draw out worms or other insects, which can not be seen without pulling the vegeta bles to pieces. , , „ All greens should be boiled by them selves in plenty of water, with a good lump of salt; the water should boil when they are put in and be kept boil ing; they should be well done or they are unwholesome; a very little soda put into the water preserves their color. No directions can be given as to the time vegetables take for boiling, as much depends on the size and age. To asceij tain when they are done pass a fork through the stem, if soft they are done ; they begin to sink when nearly boiled enough. Greens should be strained through a colander as soon a3 done.- Detroit Free Press. Hears are the water.

(From the Detroit Free Press.] As the sun went down and darkness began to creep over the face of the earth th© angry artillery died away and the crackle of musketry was less spite ful. For a while the fighting on the extreme right hung on, to settle the question of who should occupy the old earthworks, but at length dead silence foil upon the whole field. Silence? No! It was silence com pared to the awful roar of the long after noon, but it was a silence broken by the screams and groans and prayers of wounded men—by tlie movements of wagons and artillery—by the subdued voices of 75,000 men as they camped for the night without fire, and anxiously debated the chances for the morrow. The sergeant marches off to the left at the head of half a dozen men. He drops • a man at “Post No. 1,” and gives him whispered instruction. It is the same at posts 2, 3, 4, etc., until the last man has been stationed. There must be vigilant, wakeful men between friends and foes while the long night wears away. “Post No. 6” is under a great beech tree. Shot and shell have scarred and riven its trunk, and shot and shell have scattered and riven ijjB thick limbs. A quarter of a century hence this tree will bear witness to the'terrible straggle of to-day. “From idiis tree the edge of that COMU thicket, aud the cotfutursign is “Jus tice,’ ” whispered tlie sergeant, and as he passes on the picket takes up his beat. He counts as he passes them by —one, two, three, f«ir, five, six, seven, eight. What? Corpses! They are ly ing on the grass eU near the path he travels that lie can ^oueh any of them with his foot. There are others to the right and left, farther away.

Some lay as if asleep, worn out With tho tremendous conflict—others ra\frd and prayed and cursed God and r|an before death re leased them from tteir sufferings. The picket counts them as he walks, and a sigh escapes his lips. To-morrow night some sentinel may number his mutilated corpse tith others on tlie same meadow^ To-morrow night the antnmn winds may vainly seek to rouse him from his death sleep. From tree to thicket and turn. From thicket to tree and turn. He must watch and listen aid be on liis guard, but by and by he finds time to count again.

In the darkness he had made a mistake. Nine! Well, what matters one more or one less corpse upon a field of bat tle? To the tree and turn. To tho thicket and turn. As he heads for tlie tree again the ninth corpse assumes a sitting posi tion and looks after him. A moment later it struggles up: and a figure goes creeping after the picket. The grass on the meadow is tliiclL and matted. His footfalls give out no sound. Softly— softly—silent as the shadow of death— creeping—creeping, and now he is close npon the lone picket.

A new plan of irrigation has just been inaugurated on the Pawnee river south of Larntd, Kansas, A iarge wheel is placed in the edge of the water, which resembles somewhat a double windmill. The wheel is so constructed and com nected that it is kept constantly turning by the current. To the rim of the wheel is attached eight large troughs, each holding eight gallons of water. As the wheel turns these troughs dip up water, carry it to the highest point of the wheel and there empty it into the irrigation ditch. Through ditches and laterals it is then carried to the adjacent land. By this means the river, by its own force, is constantly turning a stream of water on the surrounding country. * ■■ - © ■- She Couldn’t Understand It. “What in thu world has happened to you since th • last time I saw you?” askei one lady of another when they me: on the street the other day; “I can’t understand it.
