During the experiments exbendimg
over toe years the eggs treated by
the "Guaranine" process, which con- 4
sista in dipping them in a boiling'
solution of wax and oil, graded much
better than the untreated ones and
had a decidedly better flavor. Other
salient points brought out by the tests 4
are that eggs should be stored with
tem small ends down, that they should
by as flash as possible, that clean eggs b
keep tetter then either dirty or wash-
ed ones, and that they should be stored
in ole'an flats and sherd,
In discussing the formlag of Onnd
habits to take the dace of lees .destr-
able masa, the, late Professor James
set down, among other things, this
advice: "Keep tate faculty of effort
alive in you by a little gratuitous ex -
:snipe every day, That is, be eystein-
atically heroic in little unnoeossary
points; do every day or two something
for • no other reason than that you
would rather not do it, so that when
the hour of dire need draws nigh, it
may fled you not unnerved and un-
trained to stand the test."
A growing sentiment for better corn•
munities Is now cropping out fat every
quarter. Ways 'and means of bring-
ing about these improved communities
are being considered by many who feel
a responsibility for pushing this work.
If Professor James' advice were gen-
erally adopted, we were wondering
what effect It might have in building
such communities,
For instance, it is unneeessary that
I' compliment my neighbor upon his
good crops, or horses, or the work his
boy or girl is doing in school; but in
showing an appreciation for these
things, I will undoubtedly improve our
neighborly relations.
Again, it Is unnecessary that inter-
est myself in the various community '
activities—the farmers' organizations,
the schools' and churches, athletics,
etc, -but a little constructive atten-
tion given to these institutions, even
at some personal sacrifice, will, with-
out doubt, make them better servants
of the community.
Unselfish efforts of the kind men-
tioned by James, certainly contribute
to the happiness of the individual and
his home, If to these advantages can
bo added a community benefit, then
there could be no reason for not urg-
ing upon readers a general adoption
of this somewhat unusual but effective
practice,
SHARING TO KEEP.
"The Burkes have come back!"
Marie announced breathlessly to the
girls on the Allston porch.
"Then Mr. Burke is better?" some
one exclaimed.
"Yes, a complete euro. He Is look-
ing fine, and so are Mrs. Burke and
Margaret, I have been with them all
the afternoon, helping Margaret un-
pack her books and pictures. You
know, they moved out there bag and
baggage, intending to stay if neces-
sary."
"I'm glad it wasn't. We have all
missed Margaret a lot --Marie most of
all, I guess."
"Yes;"agreed Marie eatncatly.
"Now what do you suppose fs bother-
ing Margaret more than anything
else?"
"Tell us!" pleaded somebody,
"Well," replied Marie, "you all know
what a flower lover Margaret is and
what a lovely garden she has. You
should see it now! The tenants who
lived in their house while they were
away cared nothing for flowers. The
whole garden was planted to vege-
tables, and poor Peggy's choice plants
were rooted out and destroyed. Of
course her annuals can be replaced
easily and cheaply, but the precious
roses and iris and chrysanthemums
and all the lovely hardy things she
had—gone every one! Some were
gifts from friends, too, those elm
prized most. It does seem too bad!"
There were a few moments of sym-
pathetic silence. Then an eager girl-
ish voice spoke: "Too bad nothing! It
is our great chance to do for Peggy
what she did for us long before site
went away. She gave us slips and
roots and seeds of her flower pets
freely. I have a dozen beautiful things
in my garden that came from hers. So
have most of you. Now do you see
what I ate driving at? We can re-
stock
stock Peggy's garden with the orig-
inal stock, which she loves ao much
mere than anything new she might
buy. Well make it a garden party!
Trowels and spades instead of par-
Reelsi"
They did, and Margt,ret soon had
more than her old fiowee garden back.
"Instead of bread on the waters
Peggy sowed flowers 011 over the
neighborhood!" exclaimed one of the
girls, laughing.
"I can't thank you enough," replied
happy Peggy;' "I never dreamed when
shared with you—
"Of course you didn't, That is what
•makes us all so want to give back to
you." And then with an arm about
her friend, Marie quoted softly:
"For we must share, if we would keep,
That good thing from above;
Ceasing to give, we cease to have;
Such is the law of love."
