It is said on the high authority of an American medical journal that, al though the Chinese people live in a germ-saturated soil, they are singular. ly free from typhoid fever and other | diseases of which water is the me dium of communication. This cond! tion is attributed the universal cus tom of copious tea drinking. The tea itself is not held to be the safeguard against the disease, but the bofling of the drink has a germicidal effect which produces sanitary advar» tages. And if tea produces any Ml results they are not to be considered beside these advantages. : The tea leaf is described as form- ing one of the most innocent and at tractive flavorings possible for hot drinks, and the boiled drink is the foe to the deadly germ. The Old Brother’s Message. One of the venerable brethren of the Billville Circuit delivered this mes- sage recently: “It’s no use to strug- gle, tf you’ve made up your mind to avail yourself of your privelege of fall- in’ from grace, in the belief that you'll git up agin, an’ shake the dust off, and start over ag’in. Some o’ the dust will git in the grain of your gar- ments, and stick there; some of the strength you needed for the journey will be gone, and you’ll no more be the Bame as you was. What you want to do is to make the struggle land you high and guard against gittin’ dizzy when you reach the hilltop!”—Chi- eago American. EGGS WITHOUT SHELLS. One Way They Are Sent in Russia to Avoid Excessive Freight. Russian exporters, to avoid an ex- cessive freight on eggs as well as te avoid loss from breakage and from spoiling by heat, ship them without uhe shell, i. e., broken and the con- tents put up in air-tight block tin box- es, with or without salt, according to the taste of the customer. Each box contains several eggs and is sold by weight, the size running from half a _ kilogram up to a pud (some sixteen kilograms). The price of the latter is 5 rubles. For use in cooking and for a limited time these tinned or preserved eggs seem to an- swer very well; that is, on the conti- nent, for England doesn’t take kindly to them. London, for instance, which buys large quantities of Russian eggs, pays 8 rubles a pud for them (against 5 for the preserved eggs), besides the weight of the shells and the extra freight tariff on eggs. Bach block tin box of “conserved” eggs, whether of half kilo (a kilo is a ‘little more than two pounds) or two pud size, must bear the date and hour of its closing, thus guarding against getting stale eggs.
