A reliable way of testing eggs is to place them in a solu- tion of salt and water. Put a large tablespoonful of common salt in a pint of water. Stale eggs will float in this solution, while fresh ones will sink. .

SPECIAL ROADS FOR WALKERS.

The enormous inercase" of motor- ing is becoming s problem in Switzerland. It is found that the dense traffe drives the pedestrian off the road, and a number of smal Jer resorts are beginning to suffer severely. The need has now been recognised of making special "wan- der-ways" well out of the reach of the dust-clouds of the roads. Appeals are

to being made the cantonat Governments, the tourists' offices, the Swiss Alpine Club, and the various walking or ganisations, to lend their assist ance,

To the same category be Jongs the movement to preserve the lake borders for public use.

The custom of building week-end cot- tages by the waterside is growing so rapidly that the prices of these. building sites are going up by leaps and bounds. In the neigh- bourhood of the larger towns the general publie has long been ex cluded from the lake horders. It is proposed to dak proprietors npt to prolong their muilings and hedges to the very water mark to leave sufficient rooms for walkers

to pass.
