The following is said to be an excellent recipe for testing eggs : — dissolve three and three-fourth ounces of common salt in one and three-fourth pints of water. An egg put in thia solution on the day it is laid will sink to the bottom ; one a day old will not reach quite to the bottom of tho vessel ; an egg three days old will swim in the liquid ; while one more than three days old will swim on the surface. A pleasant slip of the tongue is recorded by a French paragraphist. A lady was enjoying tne society of her lover, when the bell rang, and the sorvant announced "the doctor." "Tell him I am ill and cannot see him," was madame'a reply. According to the Weisz system of typesetting, recently introduced in Vienna, the type iscast in syllables, common prefixes, suffixes, &c, instead of letters, and a great saving of time is thus effected, it is claimed.
