Quaint Packing of Eggs.
In many Korean towns one .seeS
plles of eggs outside the shops, done
up in straw rolls. This is the Korean
method of packing eggs. There are,
as a rule, ten eggs in a roll, and the
straw casing is so cleverly twisted
and~ so strongly woven that it can heC
moved without fear of the eggs fall
ing out. A native will lift up a roil,
plae it across his shloulders and
march away. andi tprmgh the roili may
sway dangerously & nd fro, its con
tents always remain intact.

tisnot always necessary to'make a

heijifulness wvill radiate from our lives,
as heat radiates from a fire. If there
is kindness andit sympiathly ini our hearts

greater part of helpfulness is the con
scious sort which is tile direct result of
our being what weonre.
