There are men who object ser!= ously to taking to wife any woman who has been engaged to another man, and such men should be allowed full liberty of chotce and not led {nto matrimony blindfold. If confidences are given they should be comprehensive; halt confidence {s worse than none. Much trouble arises from tho fact that It !s usually the innocent flirtations which are dis- closed, while the grand passion, if it existed, ts passed over in silence. ‘Angelina makes Edwin fully acquainted with the hopeless sults of Dick, Tom and Harry for the fair hand which she has promised to him, and Edwin tells Angelina with abundant candor how he was unable to choose between Maud and Ethel until she (Angelina) appeared upon the scene and proved con- clustvely that he was in love with neither of tho twain. But ‘Angelina has naught to say of her affair with Capt. Bob, about which thetr set gossiped for a whole season and which was the motive power which took her and her mother to Call- fornia, where she met Edwin; nor does Edwin enlighten An- gelina as to his infatuation for Edith, whose heartless jilting of him nearly sent him to the ‘‘demnition bowwows.”’ Which 4s doth a mistake and a pity, since both Edwin and Angelina are sure, sooner or later, to hear of these episodes from some mutual friend who has heard the whole story and tells it with additions. It was one of the wisest of women who pronounced the greatest commandment of society to be “Thou shalt not be found out."” ‘When that commandment !s broken ruin and disaster are certain to ensue. PRESERVATION OF EGGS. German papers state that it 1s possible to keep eggs fresh for any length of time by elmply immersing them in @ 10 per cent. solution of silicate of soda, commonly called “liquid glass.” ‘This produces the formation of a coating which ren- dera the eggs perfectly air-tight. The eggs so treated retain their fresh taste for many months. The best proof of the ef- fleacy of this treatment has been furnished by the faot that such eggs, after having been kept for a whole year, were thatched, and the chickens were strong end healthy. ‘The preserving solution is best prepared by dissolving one pound of liquid glass in four quarts of cold water. The eggs ‘are then immersed in this solution, which should de kept in e glased earthenware vessel, and the eggs are kept in the solu- tion for a short time. Tf one of these preserved eggs 1s to be botled the shell must be first perforated in order to prevent cracking. MERCIFUL WARFARE.
