Those who would like to keep some of the over-suppiy of eggs uutil there is more cf a demand, may profit by the rule given in Farm Poul? try. "Take one pint of salt and one quart of fresh lime aud slack with bot water* When slacked, add suffi? cient water to make four gallons. When well settled, pour off the Jiquid gently into a stone jar. Then with a dish place ine eggs in, tip ing the dish after it fills with the liquid, so they will roll out without cracking the shell, for if the shell is cracked the egg will spoil Fut the eggs in whenever you have them fresh. Keep them covered in a cool place and they will keep fresh for one year When it is necessary to pickle a large number of eggs, of course the amount of liquid must be correspond? ingly increased. Kow to Judge a Cow. The best sign for richness of milk in a cow is the deep orange color in? side the ears. This is said to be in? falible, but there are other points that assist the expert in making his selection from a number. After ex? amining the ears, feel the skin on the rump and observe that it should be soft, velvety and fall again to its position when the hand is removed The hair should be fine and silky, with a yellowish cast underneath The milk veins should be very promi? nent, uniform, and under well balanc? ed, extending full to the rear, and well forward in front to the main milk ducts that extend along the bel? ly. The bones should be fine, the eye mild and expressive, the body showing a tendency to avoid accu? mulating fats, the teats even and at regular intervals, with the escutch? eon well defined, dandruff being eas? ily rubbed therefrom, and the cow should give indications of being a good feeder. A critic drooped into a studio in Paris bue day, stopped before a portrait of a lady on the easel, and remarked, "But whyjjdid you take such an ugly model ?" "It 5s my* mother," calmly replied the artist- "Oh, pardon-a thousand I times !" said the critic in great con? fusion , "you are right, I ought to have perceived it. The resemblance is quite striking.'' ? We have had occasion several times to cali -attention to the hall-dozing methods adopted and pursued by money corporations in the North to stem what they call the "free silver craze." The latest and one of the meanest is the en? forced resignation of Mr Wm P. St. John, President of the Mercantile Na? tional Bank, of New York, the sole reascn being his advocacy of the free coinage of silver and his intentian to go tc Chicago as an advocate of free coin? age. This ?6. no new departure for Mr. St John. He has been aa.open and a powerful champion of free 'oinage for several years, and some of the ablest productions published in this country on this subject have been from irs pen. He has been a strong defender of it not only io the press and io public meetings bat io the meetings of the bankers, when he stood solitary aod alone and boldly maintained his position and chal? lenged a refutation of his arguments. As the directors of his bank were famil? iar with bis views ali this time why this sadden change in tactics at this late day? Mr. St. John's work was prac? tically dooe and he was about to see the fruition of it in adoption of a free silver platform at Chicago. It was too late to **stem the craze," and the only reas? on apparent why they forced his resign? ation was to punish him- for having views in opposition to theirs and for resolving upon being present- at the convention which is to put those views into form as a part of the platform on which the Democatic party will stand. It has been said that "the gods make mad those whom they would destroy." Verily it looks that way, for if the money combine sought a way to com? bine tbe people against it could not find a more effective one than these bulldozing tactics which are resorted to. Every announcement of this kiod ia worth many thousands of votes to the free eilver cause.-Wilmington Star. mmm ? Railroads are sometimes very tricky Postmaster General Wilson has dis? covered that a number of them have been beating Uncle Sam out of postage by a plan of sending all letters for rail? road officials by baggage masters o o mail trains. The attention of the offi? cials of all railroads bas consequently been called to that clause of the U. S. Revised Statutes which forbids regalar post route roads carrying mail in any other than regular mail cars, except when letters are enclosed in stamped envelopes. If that doesn't stop the scheme some arrests will be made. Sccklen'g Arnie? Salve.
