These eggs remained in the solutions j
for about six months. When examined, j
the water glass was found to be the :
best pickle, although the lime and salt j
served its purpose very well; still the I
whites of the eggs preserved in this 1
mixture were much more watery than
the whites of these preserved in the
water glass. These were.difficult to dis
tinguish from fresh eggs, since (he
white was quite firm and yolk stood up
upon it as though fresh. Another ad
vantage in the water glass is that it
does not seem to affect the shell of the 1
egg as the lime mixture, eggs from the
lime and salt mixture being much more j
liable to crack, either in cooking or
handling. We consider this matter of 1

he sees the contrasting lines of white j
and red, pink and green, purple and ;
yellow developed in the arrangement i
cf the bunches aud baskets of fruits |
and vegetables that he provides for !
their daily wants, says a writer in The !
Twentieth Century Farmer, from ;
whose illustrated article the following ;
is gleaned:
The tradesman could not have made
this display had not the grower pre
pared the vegetables at borne- before
starting for market. The day when
the gardener could pick, pull or dig a
lot of vegetables and dump them in a
lot of gunnysacks all covered with
their native dirt has passed away, let
us hope never to return. The gather
ing and preparing vegetables for mar
ket has become one cf the useful arts.
Much of this labor is of the nature of
recreation rather than of severe toil
and can be done by the women and
children cf the household to the health
and profit of all concerned.
The sale of vegetables in bunches
and baskets is growing in favor. Al
most all beets are now sold in bunches.
The first crop of onions reaches us in
this form. A large lot of early turnips,
also carrots, are bunched. Snap beans
and tomatoes are now sold in half
bushel market baskets. The vegeta
bles can be made much more attractive
in these packages, and a buyer will fre
quently take an original package.
All this, with putting cabbage and
cantaloupes in crates, has added large
ly to the labor in the vegetable garden,
and gardeners have provided them
selves with facilities and conveniences
to meet these new conditions. They
have vegetable houses in which are
benches, where they put the vegeta
bles: sinks aud tubs, in which are wa
ter pipes, with faucets. The pipes are
filled from a tank into which tho water
has been pumped by a windmill. The
vegetables are washed by the women
of tlie place, who pick off the imperfect
leaves and count the vegetables into
bunches, which they tie with strings.
The women also give the final touch
to the arrangement of the peas, beans,
tomatoes and such truck as are sold in
baskets. Cucumbers', peppers, summer
squash, lima beans, eggplant and okra
look best in baskets.
Turnips, parsnips, late carrots, with
late beets, should be washed when sold
in bulk. Sweet corn is so cheap it will
not pay for a package. Early sweet
potatoes sell best in one-third bushel
crates. Later they are best in bushel
baskets and barrels. Irish potatoes
are put in sacks or barrels.
Winter squash and pumpkins are han
dled in bulk; tlie same with watermel
ons and late cabbage.

the opening in the history of Fairs in
Atlanta. Special efforts are being made
fcy Secretary Martin to have all exhibits

Respectfully,
SULLIVAN BROS.
of tbe French. They have at last pass
ed tbe experimental stage. They are
now ready for the war under the wa
ters. They have weapons, secret, un
seen, terrible. They are ready to dart
out at any moment for the destruction
of their enemy. Other nations have
lagged behind, and if France is not to
be permitted to become the first of
naval powers her rivals must rapidly
bestir themselves in the submarine
field.
While the French have been develop
ing their submarine engine of war
through a long series of experiments
the naval attaches of other nations
stationed here have exerted themselves
to the utmost to gain information con
cerning the new destroyers. They have
learned little. Never was a secret bet
ter guarded. As to the details of the
method by which the problem has been
solved they know nothing at all. The
experts are as much in the dark
any layman.
All the naval attaches in Paris are
sending to the governments alarming
reports concerning the French subma
rines.
One of these experts says: “France
now has finished or nearly ready to gc
into commission seven submarine tor
pedo boats of the new t_>pe, Gustav
Zede model. Nineteen more are under
construction. These boats are un
known quantities—that is, they are un
known to the naval authorities of the
countries which may be compelled to
meet them in war.
“What is inside the hulls of these
boats we do not know, and there is no
use of our pretending that we do. But
we are pretty, well satisfied as to the
performances that may be expected of
them in case of war.
“For instance, let us suppose war
between France and Great Britain.
The English hold Gibraltar, and with
that and tlieir fleets they think them
selves masters, of the Mediterranean
and the Suez route between the east
and the west. But what Is Gibraltar
lu comparison with a fleet of subma
rine torpedoes? If an English squad
ron attempted to pass the straits, the
little cigar shaped explosive terrors
would dart out locate the big hulks of
the enemy in the narrow water while
remaining unseen themselves. Then
they would discharge their torpedoes,
and one great ship after another would
go up In shock, smoko and destruction.
It is doubtful if of a squadron of a
dozen ships one-half could get through
the straits. The guns of Gibraltar
might just as well be in the hands of
the enemy for all the help they could
render against these destroyers, which
approach so stealthily under the sur
face that their presence is made known
only by the death dealing explosion.
“I believe the naval battles of the
future, ships against ships, will be
fought under the water, not upon it.
Already the French engineers, encour
aged by their success, dream of build
ing submarines which shall be more
than mere torpedo boats—underwater
cruisers, in fact. Already they are
building 26 submarines of tbe Gustav
Zede type. They talk of building 200
more during the next half dozen years.
Unless they are deceiving themselves
they have revolutionized naval tac
tics.”
battalion. They marched into the
church. The officer iu charge took his
place in the front pew, setiled himself
in his seat aud calmly blew his nose.
Three huudred noses were blown si
multaneously with a vehemence that
was startling. The officer looked around
and blushed violently iu great surprise.
Three hundred heads “followed the mo
tions of the commanding officer.” Six
hundred cheeks violently tried to blush,
a hard thing to for a midshipman to do,
| and so on through the service.
| The man could not stir without in-
i staut imitation. lie finally confined
| himself strictly to the prescribed rit-
j ual of the service, looking neither to
j the right nor to the left, not daring to
j raise a finger or breathe out of the or
dinary course. This enterprise also
was a startling success.
The cadets received other instructions
later in the day from a furious officer
who sternly resented tlieir innocent
statenfents that they did not know
which was ritual and which was not
and that he had not instructed them
that blowing bis nose stood on a differ
ent plane from saying his prayers. It
was a huge joke everywhere.

BEE AND HIVE.
If the hive rests on the ground, it
will be too damp.
It will pay to use foundations by fill
ing all frames full.
Set the hive a little above the ground
to' admit of a circulation of air.
From 9 o’clock a. m. to 3 o’clock p. m.
includes tbe hours of successful operat
ing with bees.
Procure new blood in the apiary. In-
breeding is as objectionable with bees
as with live stoek.
It is necessary to unite all weak col
onies that will be unable to build up
into strong stocks.
Care should be taken to save all
young brood and the brood combs of
those containing brood.
On account of it being the only ma
terial that can be depended upon to
stay pine is the best material for hives.
Combs should not be left in empty
hives about tbe apiary. That is tbe
worst place they can be left, as moths
are always to be found near the bees
and are sure to infest the combs.
One advantage in closed end frames
Is that a hive full of combs may be
handled as though it were a single
piece instead of a collection of loose
pieces, thus saving work, worry and
time.
If the bees cannot conveniently enter
the hives during the sudden changes of
cool weather, quite a number will be
lost; hence care should be taken to
have the entrances arranged so that the
bees can enter readily.

Knots on Trees.
In the barks of our forest trees are
contained a multitude of latent buds,
which are developed and grow under
certain favorable conditions. Some
trees possess this property in a remark
able degree, and often, when the other
parts are killed down by frost, tlie
property of pushing out these latent
buds into growth preserves the life of
the plant. These buds, having once
begun to grow, adhere to the woody
layer at .their base and push out their
points through the back toward the
light.
The buds then unfold and develop
leaves, which elaborate the sap carried
up the small shoot. Once elaborated it
descends by the hark, when it reaches
the base or inner hark. Here it is ar
rested, so to speak, and deposited be
tween the outside and inner layer of
bark, as can be learned on examining
specimens on the trees in the woods
almost anywhere.

How Europe Is Onr Peril.
As showing the absence of American
vessels in the South American trade it
may be mentioned that the United
States has now to send passengers,
mails and freight from New York to
South America by way of Europe, says
a London newspaper. There have been
several attempts to establish commer
cial lines between New York and Brazil
and the Platte river, but none of these
has yet come to anything. It seems to
be a strenuous life in earnest that the
world is entering upon with the twen
tieth century when the nation which is
pictured abroad as the “Yankee peril"
Is In turn taking alarm at a European
peril at Its own doors.

and shod hoof and a levy upon every
male inhabitant, who must give a day’s
work on the road or its equivalent in
cash. There are no stamp duties on
