TH E MONITOR. Morgan, Ga., Thursday, May_26,1898. ‘¥o Preserve Eggs. The Columbus Enquirer Sun has received a letter from a lady at ■ThQnjAstoib !Ga„ that will prove very interesMng to a number of our read¬ ers. The. letter says; v , . “I have, bpeq preserving, eggs , since 1894 on a small scale, as I only ihad $4- tP Start; lyUb.^ Last summer I preserved two whiskey, barrels, full p| ...eVfgS|i jfftpep . hundred dozen, wiyich c,o^>S‘X and a ftaE -cents per ,preservatives ,doWn, or $27-50 for ; the, 3.50, lot. making My cost. a total of $111.,, 1 sold my eggs in De¬ cember at our home sucres at eighteen cents per doz^p, a total of $270, made from the four dollars I started with. “This is my receipt: ‘Take thirty- six gollons of water, add six pounds of salt, four ounces of peralgrett, dissolved in two gallons of boiling water, making thirty eight gallons in all. This will preserve two barrels of eggs, three hundred dozen. Put nineteen gallons of the preparation fn each barrell and add the eggs as you get them in. Let them stay covered with the solution until you are ready to sell them.’ No one can can tell the eggs preserved after this receipt from fresh laid eggs. ( “Tell your druggist you want powdered peralgrett. It dissolves best. ; “Next year I will invest my $270 in eggs, and by selling and investing it all for two years, I will have over $1.50(1. With that capital I can clear over $2,000 a year. Now, Mr, Editor, why cau’t any one do as well at this business anywhere? Eggs are used everywhere and always sell higher in winter than in summer. .1 hope many of your readers will try this receipt oh a sthall scale, and let ^ns heat through your valuable paper .the result of. their experiments. I know thev will succeed.” “Big court” only two weeks off.

Iu the dim and misty ages of the past, when wandering bands of apelike human beings had not developed their tribal customs to the level of prietly ctreiucnv — when the medicine man bad not arisen —a marriage between a man and, a young ivoman was generally consumated by . the man beating the girt into insensibility and dragging her by the Ijair to. Ids cave. Added to its simplicity the custom had the merit of improving the race, as un¬ healthy and ill-favored girls were,not pursued, and similar men were clubbed out,of the pursuit by stranger. But the .process was necessarsly painful, to the loved one, and,her female children natu¬ rally inherited a repugnance to being wooed. When a civilized young lady, clothed aud well-conducted, anticipates being kissed or gffibftbfed by her lover, she places in tho way wlial difficulties are in her power; she gets behind tables and chairs, runs from.him, compels him to pursue, aud , expects him to., In her maidenly heart she may want to be kissed, but she cannot, help resisting. She obeys the same in-tinct th,at impelled this wild girl to spring from the out¬ stretched arms of the boy and go scream¬ ing out of the cave and down the beach iu similar terfor—aii instinct inherited from tho prehistoric mother who tied for dear life ami a whole skin from a man armed with a club and bent upon mar¬ riage.—From “Primordial,” by Morgan Robertson, in Harper’s Magazine for April.

A sucker is a wind bag who sits around on the streets and abuse everybody be bind their hacks aud imagine people don’t hear of it: A sucker is a business man who sends his work to some snide house out of town and expects his home paper to blow¬ up the town and benefit him as much as liis more enterprising neighbors. A sucker is a kicker who opposes every important improvement and rails at every hustler in town until some other town springs up near him and his pro¬ perty depreciates 75 percent and lie cant sell it at that.

Among the heroes of e-isdnutnee and of creative action .was;oue man whose name deserves ,to. be’perpetu¬ ated. He was “Johnny Applcseed, ■' by which name Jonathan. , Lapman was known in every cabin on the Ohio -river to- the northern)lakes a'M west to what is now Indiana. With two canoes lashed together this in¬ trepid youth of 2(1 transported a load of apple seeds to the western frontier for the purpose of creating orchards. He passed down the Ohio to'Mariet- ta, ascending theMuskinguifion up¬ ward to the head of navigation. A long, hard voyage it'wits', lor the lone traveler stopped a-t every invit¬ ing place to plant his seeds, Ilis canoe voyage in 1806 appears to have been the only occasion- upon which he adopted that method of transportation, all subsequent jour¬ ney’s being made oh fold. * Securely packed in leather bags the -seeds were sometimes conveyed on the back of a horse and somcMmes on his own shoulders, when he vvcvivld often journey a distance of 150 miles. The frontiersmail''Who ifelt himself protected by his rifle against wild beasts and hostile Indians found it necessary to guard against the insidious enemies in tho grass by wrapping bandages of dried grass about his buckskin legging, but L’hapman would .shoulder bis bag of seeds and with hare feel penetrate to the remotest parts. Even in the coldest weather he went barefoot, but sometimes for long journeys he would make himself a rude pair of sandals. It - seems to have, been a matter of conscience with him never to purchase shoes, though he never was without money. One cold winter day’ he was trav¬ eling barefoot through the snow when a settler forfc'efl the acceptance of an old pair of shoes upon him. A few days after the donor met John¬ ny contentedly plodding along with liis feet bare and half frozen. With some anger ho inquired into tho matter and learned that Johnny had met a poor man who seomod to need them more than he did, so he gave them up. He was very eccentric in dress, wearing a garment made of a coffee sack in which he cut holes for his head and arms and pronounced it “a very serviceable cloak, and as good as any man need wear.” In tho matter of headgear his taste was equally unique. His first experi¬ ment was a tin vessel that served for his cooking, but this was open to the objection that it did not pro¬ tect his eyes from the beams of the sun, so lie constructed a hat of pasteboard, with au immense peak in front, which became his perma¬ nent fashion. During the war of 1812 Johnny Appleseed continued his wanderings and was never harmed by the hands of hostile Indians, who regarded him as a “great medicine man” on account of his eccentric dress and actions. For 40 years ho devoted his life to this self imposed mission, and died a placid and beautiful death at tho age of 72. Thus passed one of tho memorable men of pioneer times, who never inflicted pain or knew an enemy. A self denying benofao- tor of his race, homeless, solitary and ragged, he trod tho earth with bleeding feet, intent only upon mak¬ ing the wilderness fruitful. His deeds will last as long as the applqi blossom, and tho story of his lifo will he a perpetual proof that true heroism, pure benevolence find no- blo virtues that deserve immortality may bo found under the meanest apparel.—-Detroit Free Press.

A woman came to me one day te airy she wanted her daughter to be con¬ firmed. “Mr.--,” she said, “from the chapel over tho way, ’as, been a-trying to convert ’eiybut I pretty- soon told ’im what I thought ’Wilt it. Isesto ’im, ‘I’ll ’ave my galcon- firmod, but I won’t ’ave ’or conyert- ad, so now you know I don’t bllieve in conversion.’ ” What the minister said or thought of this truly mar¬ velous statement of doctrine I don’t know. :< \ The monograms I H S and X P- C, which are so often to bo seen in our churches, sorely puzzle a portion of the congregation—a larger propor¬ tion, I am inclined to think, thrill is generally supposed. A certain; vicar soon after his arrival in tho parish placed .a new cloth upon the altar, npoti the center of. whipli was em¬ broidered a large cross. Hitch strong opposition was raised to -this symbol of our Christianity that the vicar gave way before the storm and had the initials I H 8 substituted. A parishioner who was not at all in fa¬ vor of the change on being asked the meaning of - the letters replied: "Why, don’t you know what it means? It means T hope you’re sat¬ isfied. ’ ”—Cornbill Magazine.

An American physician was in vited to dine at the house of a prom iuent journalist in Budapest. He was introduced to an Austrian who, the host whispered proudly, spoke English fluently. “I saw that Mr. Fchevary was not at his ease, for his English dndrepu tation were at stake,” says the doc¬ tor. "Our Magyar friends immediately wished us to speak English to each other, and a circle was 'formed around us, as if we were two prize fighters ready for the fray.- I said: ‘How* do you do, Mr. FeheVaryl’ ‘Most veil,’ ho answered brave¬ ly ' , ‘Where did you study English?’ 2 ‘In myself,’ he said, with groat effort. » . i The young Woman the doctor took out to dinner had come in from the ’•country especially to meet him. Shb was much disappointed to find the gentleman from America was white. 'She plied him with all manner of questions. Dinner began With chick¬ en soup, “and,” Continues the imr- •rator, ’■‘of course my neighbor ask¬ ed did we oat Soup in America. “Next came roast goose that melt¬ ed upon the lips like butter. Green peas were the wheels of its chariot. ‘ “ ‘Do you have geesei’ neigh¬ my bor asked. “ ‘Plenty of them, ’ I said. “‘Are they as good as those in Hungary V . “I wanted to say much better be¬ cause the kind I meant asked no questions, but I controlled myself and said instoad that they couldn’t compare with Hungarian geese. Spring chicken, fried in olive oil— the chicken better than the goose— was tho third course. “ ‘Do you have chickens?’ queried my interlocutor, ‘and what do you do with them ?’ ‘“That depends upon their ago,’ I said.

Sun reporter. “I re* membor once when I was young a lot of fellows used to hang around my place that were not the most de¬ sirable companions imaginable. One day a -friend said, ‘Do you want to get rid of those fellows?’ I said that I did, if I could do it without offend¬ ing them. He suggested a plan, and the result was I provided myself with an English history, a Bible and several other books 1 don’t guess those fellows ever heard of before. The next time they came in I began reading aloud to them from the hooks. It, wasn’t long before they be¬ gan to look at one another, and filially one said us they all got up, ‘Well, Jim, we’ll drop in again after awhile.’ Whenever they dropped in I always pulled my hooks, and soon they wore afraid to conic ut all."

Thomas stood the torture-as long as any ablebodied man could bo expect ed to, but finally he resortod to pun Ishment for his tormentors. One day, full of wrath at an exceptional breach on the part of a towbeaded youngster, he strode vengefully to the school. With much noise he olimbod the stairway in search of the principal, to whom he had been advised to complain. He was cour teously shown to that person and be gan to bitterly denounce the actions of tho pupils. ’ ’■ ' i " “I am very sorry to hear this,’’ exolaimed his listener, “and I will try to put an end to it;” f , “Oi wish you would, sirruh.
