Not every man or woman, however well-intentioned, 4] true and conscientions, can make the home what it ocuglt to be. And one of the most fruitful oiuses of unhappiness next to nad temper, is to be found ie poor housekeeping.

Many a woman, in every respect ad- mirable and intelligent beyond the aver age, cannot entirely grasp the mysteries of housekeeping. And that it is not a matter of intelligence is shown by the fact that some of the best and most ekil ful housewives have been turned their attention to little else than the ordering of their dinners and the scrupulous neatness of their homes. And who shall say that these did not make a success of housekeeping? So many, many things enter into the housekeepiog for the good or ill. of the household. wife or housekeeping sister may order!y, the husband or brothers reverse, or the wife totally regard‘ess of system, while the husband counts a misplaced article or a late breakfast an unpardonabie sin, for which punctuality or neatness may condone, and these things occurring day after day, year in and year out, a consequent strug- gie ensues, which renders life a martyr- dom. The more trivial the occasional the more bitter the sense of defeat,

It is sad, but nevertheless true, that the disposi- tion of some couples change entirely for the better as soon as they are freed from the shackles of housekeeping. Fault- finding cesses, anxious lines smooth away. and both husband and wife draw a Jong breath of relief.

The aood egzsare placed in the crate and the had oncs inthe barrel. Sometimes the bad eggs will run almost in the majority and the proximity of the bar- rel is no: exactly agreeable. But the map wh) candles is not very sensitive about this. His nostrils have been trained like those of Li Hung Chang. Often a boy is employed to candle eggs. If he is trustworthy, well and good. One played as much ingenuity as the lad who invented that important part of the steam engine which enabled him to goand play and not remain to watch the engine. He was to receive so much per erate for candling the eggs. He worked remarkably fast—suspiciously so—and his employer found out the reason. Instead of picking up the eggs one by one and holding them to the light, he had a board containing In each hole he wouid putan egg and when the holes were tilled, he passed the candle beneath the throwing out those which were opaque and failed to show the golden luster. The lad was commended for his ingenuity.. He had seen that the labor of handling tweuty or thirty crates of eggs was simply immense and had devised this labor-saving contriv- ance in order to make his task easier. He was very unlike the boy who candied every third or fourth egg and let the other eggs take their chance. he next day the proprietor was called up by ’phone.

“They don’t taste fresh; they have a bad odor.”

“No fresher eggs, sir, than those.”

“Well, I bought ’em for fresh eggs, and they ain’t.”

“They are. They're what is known as fresh eggs. You expect me to go out tothe hencoop and get eggs for youevery morning. Those are what are known in Toronto at this season of the year as strictly fresh eggs.”

“I won't keep ‘em.”

“Oh, yes, you will: ’Cause I won't take '’em back. We can’t sell things that way. You've got the eggs and they’re good enough. The troubl with you is you are too ali-fired parti- cular, You want the hens to lay 365 days in the year. We don’t regulate that. The eggs are the freshest in town, and if you don’t like °em youcan do the other thing. They were all candled, carefully selected and you can’t find one downright bad one ip the whole collection.”

“If can find some that don’t smell very nice.’,

“Oh, you're too particular. You ought not toeat eggs. You ought to go and live on a farm. hat’s the only place you could find eggs to suit you. Why, no one else is complaining about them eggs.

“I thought you said those were candled eggs?”

“Well, they were.” ;

“Not,” answered the voice. ‘Six

out of a dozen were—well, you know.”

‘Ts that so?”

**Yes, sir: send around for the whole batch.”

“All right, I will.”

Then the proprietor walked back into the softly. There was Master Boy seated on his stool in the dark corner. contentedly smoking a cigarette. When he saw the propgie- tor he made a wild dash for eggs and began tocandle them at the rate of sixty a minute, But the proprictor lifted him by the collar. “I guess 1,11 put you in that barrel,” he said, point- ing tothe bad egg barrel. The boy’s eyes fairly popped out, and he began tohowl. Then the proprietor dropped him in‘othe alley and found some one else to candle over again all the crates. Candled eggs, of course, are not strict- ly fresh eggs. The latter it is almost impossible to find, and the best sub- stitutes are cold storage or limed eggs which have been candled. Some peo- ple are so unreasonable as to imagine they ought to get fresh eggs in winter time, direct from the hen coop, ata season when the hens are not laying. ‘The following is a bona fide hit of con- yversation between a grocer and a deal-

“Got any fresh eggs?”

“Yos, fresh—cold storage.” The last two words rather low.

The Amelioration of Dentistry,

It is said that an association has been formed in Paris for the purpose of cul- tivating light anecdote and pleasing con- versation among the wielders of the dental forceps. The graduate of the school wili be endowed with a vast fund of information, both useful and orna mental, snd will be taught the gentle art of varying his conversation according to the age and temperament of the pa tient, and the amount of torture that is being inflicted. This accomplishment has its advantages, and, in course of time, it is possible that a taciturn dentist may come to be considered as priceless a trea- sure as a dumb barber. American dent ists have a better way fears and mitigating the suffering of their patients. ‘They are now able to as- sure them with perfect truth that the most serious dental operation can be carried out painlessly.

Lhisis done by applying to it a piece of cotton satur- ated with cocaine and some other solu- tion which will favor the passage of the current, and turning on electricity in such a minute stream that before the patient realizes it the tooth is anwsthe- tized, and can be taken ont, excavated, cut in two, or merely filled without the slightest pain being felt. Up to six months ago this obtunding, as it is called, of the teeth, occupicd about three minutes, but now, by combining electro- zone with cocaine, the time is reduced to one minute and ten seconds.

His First Sight.

Blind people's first experience of sight is curious. An old man at Pembroke, who was born blind, received his sight by the removal of a cataract. When the bandage was first removed, the patient started violently and cried out as if with fear, and for a while was quite nervous
