Paris by air raids caught the Gauls

French city were noxious and threw
out fumes of deadly gas, so that the
population of the capital took to the
cellars with all speed, using such gas

A Future .Ahead of Ilint,
The prime virtue of a good angler

who hadn't at least twice the patience
of Job..
There's a boy in 5— who is going
to make a champion one of these days.
I saw him fishing the other afternoon
on the bank of a creek, and T said, to.
"What are you fishing for, son?"
" `Snigs,' said be,

Cold, wet, retentive soils should not

when wet, when they are drying,
when the clumps break up well is the
best time. Lighter soils of a mare
porous nature can be worked much
earlier. Clay benefits light, sandy
soils. Sometimes it is found under
the surface and a little may be brough'
to the top with good results. Clay
soils are benefited by applications of
ashes, burnt garden rubbish, stable
manure, dead leaves, etc.

How To Preserve Eggs.
Surplus egg; preserved in the
spring will supply the home with good
eggs in the fall and winter, when
eggs are hard to get and are high
priced.
Eggs to be preserved must be fresh,
and should be placed in the preserv-
ing container as soon as possible after
they are laid. One of the best meth-
ods of preserving is by the use of
waterglass, a pale yellow, odorless,
syrupy liquid that can be bought by
the quart or gallon from the druggist
or poultry supply man. It should be
diluted in the proportion of 1 part of
waterglass to 9 parts of water which'
has been boiled and allowed to cool.
Earthenware crocks or jars are the
best containers, since their glazed
surface prevents chemical action from
the solution, The crocks or cans
should be scalded and allowed to cool
before they are used. A Container
holding five -gallons will accommodate
fifteen dozen eggs- and will require
one quart of waterglass.
Half fill the container with the
waterglass solution and place the
eggs in it. Eggs can be added from
day.to day as they are obtained, mak-
ing sure that the eggsare covered by
about two inches of waterglass solu-
tion. Gover the container and place
it in a cool place where it will not
have to be moved. Look at it •from.
time to time, and if there, seems to be
danger of too much' evaporation add
sufficient Cool boiled water to keep
the eggs covered, • Eggs removed
from the solution should be rinsed in
clean, cold water. Before they are
boiled holes should be pricked in, the
large ends with a needle to prevent
them from cracking.
Limewater also is satisfactory for
preserving eggs and is slightly less
expensive than waterglass. A solu-
tion is made by placing two or three
pounds of unslaked lime in five gal-
lons'of water which has been boiled
and allowed to cool, and allowing the
wixiere to stand until the lime sets
