Editor Times: Apropos of the egg question, pounded Monday, you tell your friend that, supposing the eggs to have been brought in on the first of April, if the grocer wants them for family use, his wife and child and himself can each have an egg at every meal during the entire month. They can each have extra for their dinner on Sunday, of course supposing that the month has but four Sundays. He can still give a setting of 13 eggs to the Leghorn hen, and then have six left for an Easter present, two to each, of his neighbor's three children. E.

12 Complete Short Stores 2 Serials. 7 Poems 150 Superb Illustrations (Many of them full-page size) Mid-Summer Holiday Number The Metropolitan Magazine BEFORE THE COURTS THE NEW ROAD LAW. Prothonotary Morris is in receipt the new act governing the road supervisors in townships of the second class, in which are included those of Berks County. The new legislation supplants the Act of 1835. The act becomes operative after the election of supervisors, the third Tuesday in February, 1906.

The Act of April 12, 1905, is aimed the erection of a Board of Supervisors, whereby the roads in the township will be materially improved. Organization will be effected on a similar scale the country districts to that in vogue in the cities. A Board of Supervisors will 1 be created, which will have absolute control of the roads in their spective townships. Upt to now all the Berks County townships have been governed by two supervisors save Robeson, which has three on account of its wide area. The present law stipulates that each township shall have at least two supervisors and as many more as the vote of the people dictates.

Act of 1905 prescribes that on the election next February one supervisor shall be elected for one year; for two years, and one for three years each township. Thus each township, save Robeson, in Berks County, will have an additional supervisor after next February. The new law also completely revolutionizes the duties of the supervisors. It prescribes that one shall be elected chairman upon their organization, one secretary and the board is to appoint a treasurer, who is not a supervisor. The new law empowers the supervisors, under certain restrictions, to levy the road tax.

The old system empowered the township auditors to levy the tax, together with the supervisors. The supervisors may change the work tax system upon application by petition to court and receive 15 per cent. of the road tax from the state. The new law further calls for the division of the township into road districts and each district shall maintain a road master, whose duty it is work on the roads, keep the records men tor employed and their time. The supervisors shall have the power to fix the wages of road masters and laborers on the roads and bridges.

A contract may be entered into with residents of the township for not more than three years for keeping the roads in repairs. The law further directs the road supervisors to have charge of all machinery and tools to be used on the roads and to enter into joint ownership with adjacent townships or boroughs in purchasing machinery. Should a dispute arise regarding the true ownership of joint machinery between the townships. the Court of Quarter Sessions is pointed out as the resort of adjustment. The road treasurer appointed by the supervisors shall keep all moneys received from road tax; shall enter bond and only pay out money upon the order of the supervisors.

The law continues to state how road tax is to be collected and rebates allowed and penalty for delinquency in the cases of respective tardy payment by the property promiders. The law then prescribes that the Board of Supervisors shall meet monthly and successors shall be appointed by the court in cases of vacancies by death, upon the petition of the remaining members of the board. Annual. statements must be made township auditors and State Highway Commissioner by the board. The books kept the supervisors shalt be open for the inspection of any taxpayer at any time.

The supervisors are admonished not to become interested personally in any contract for road or bridge repairs under penalty of fine and imprisonment. MAY GO TO SUPREME COURT. The Messchert will case, appealed from Register of Wills Kemmerer's decision by Lee L. Esenhower, may come up in Orphans' Court next month. Should Judge Bland decide adversely on Mr.

The moon enter the shadow here about 9.30 o'clock in the evening and the eclipse will be visible, if the skies are clear, until 11.35 o'clock, or for over two hours. The event of the year among astronomers will be the total eclipse of the sun on August 30. This eclipse will be visible in the eastern part of the United States, the whole of Europe, western Asia and the northern and central portions of Africa.

The eclipse begins on the earth generally at 29 minutes after 5 o'clock in the morning at a point in the eastern end of Middlesex county, Virginia, near the mouth of the Rappahannock river. It will be visible here at practically the same time. The path of the total eclipse begins at sunrise a few miles east of Winnipeg, Manitoba, and moving eastward and a little to the north it crosses James Bay and Labrador; then bearing little to the south it crosses the Atlantic ocean and enters Spain. Moving thence in a southerly direction, it passes a few miles north Madrid; it leaves Spain near Castellon de la Plana. It then crosses the Mediterranean and the northeast corner of Africa, the Red Sea, southern Arabia, and leaves the earth at sunset on the southern coast of Algeria.

The best localities observing the total eclipse are the east coast of Labrador, the northwest coast of Spain, at Castellon de la Plana, Spain, and in Algeria. Reading will be partly darkened for nearly two hours. Starting at 5.30 o'clock in the morning, the eclipse will end here at 7.20.

Wilmington, Aug. affairs of this city are in a decided muddle over the decision of Commissioner Yerkes, of the Internal Revenue Bureau, in Washington, that Colonel Charles M. Leitch cannot hold the pohere and deputies of president of the sition of collector of revenue Wilmington Council simultaneously.

Senator Allee has gone to Washington for the purpose of laying the situation before Secretary Shaw and, if possible, get him to allow Leitch to retain both positions. It is believed, however, that he will have to resign one of the offices, and it is conceded that the presidency of council will be the one. It was stated today that in order to hold a special election for president of council the Legislature would have to be convened in extra session by Governor Lea to either enact a new charter for Wilmington or pass an appropriate law. This, however, is not looked for. It is probable that the six Republican and six Democratic members will endeavor to fill the vacancy, with a deadlock not unlikely.

With no presiding officer council cannot do business. Council will meet in weekly session tonight, and a statement by Leitch is expected. The situation is extremely complicated. Thomas E. Postles, the negro Addicks Republican, who combined with Democratic members and elected five city officials of his choice, today appointed two men to positions at the city crematory.

Of the seven positions filled, four of the appointments come from Postles' ward, the Sixth. DITCHED A TRAIN TO SAVE IT TOWERMAN WITH TEN SECONDS TO THINK MAKES THE BEST OF A MISTAKE. Indianapolis, Aug. that a mix-up of signals at the Lake Shore and Grand Rapids Indiana railroad crossing at Kendallville would lead inevitably to a collision between the Lake Shore flyer and an excursion train on the Grand Rapids Indiana, the tower operator at Kendallville purposely threw the switch Tuesday night so that the excursion train was derailed before reaching the crossing. Within a moment after the excursion train went into the ditch the Lake Shore flyer came thundering along at the rate of fifty miles an hour, and, for the ditching of the excursion train, would have struck it squarely on the crossing.

Five passengers on the excursion train were slightly injured, and Engineer Hodge was seriously, if not fatally, hurt. The engine and three coaches went into the ditch, but the train was not going very fast, and this fact saved the lives of the passengers, the only ones injured being in the smoker. Engineer Hodge, of the excursion train, says that he the target in his favor as he approached the crossing, but he slackened his speed in order to make a stop at a nearby station. When within only a few hundred feet of the crossing the target was suddenly turned against him, and the next instant the train went into the ditch. He says it could not have been more than ten seconds before the Lake Shore flyer was upon the crossing, and, had his train proceeded according to the first signal, have been caught squarely on the crossing, with the certainty of the sacrifice of many lives.

FASHIUNS AT NEWPORT OUTDOOR SPORTS ARE POPULAR THIS SEASON--MANY OF THE YACHTING SUITS ARE OF COLORED SILKS SUITABLE HATS TO WEAR WHEN AFLOAT-AUTO WRAPS AND COSTUMES GOWNS OF DEBUTANTES JEWELRY IS MUCH WORN-COIFFURES LOW. (Special to The Times. I Newport, R. Aug. season here is now fully opened, and Ocean avenue is gay with smart traps and every variety of automobile is seen, on the island and far-afield in the surrounding country.

Well known members of "the smart set" are everywhere, in costumes that modish the equipage whether it is a racing machine or victoria with blooded pair. The Casino is popular as ever. In the morning especially, every one goes there, and tennis holds the lead in favor, as it has for some seasons past. FROCKS FOR THE WATER. Yachting suits are exceptionally handsome, and possess an individuality unknown elsewhere.

Under ordinary circumstances, serge, mohair and linen are considered appropriate, but the Newport belle thinks otherwise, suit is (this season) of the heaviest, and richest of plain silk; the always plaited, with Eton or Norfolk jackets reaching only to the waist; marvels of art and beauty, so tastefully and elaborately are they trimmed with silk braid and buttons. One also sees occasionally the box coat and even the three-quarter coat, but these appear clumsy in comparison with the jaunty Eton. THE HATS, SHOES AND COLORS. Bright colors have quite a showing in such suits navy and electric blue, a rich, dark crimson hue and very delicate combinations of black and white as well. A pretty fashion is to have the waist beneath the jacket embroidered in dots, to match the color of the suit.

Hats are of white linen, canvas or white felt, of medium size and usually quite straight around the brim, very fully draped with white Liberty silk and a moderate bunching at one side. The nearest approach to a cap, is a white linen sailor with a "Tam O'Shanter" crown and white quill at one side. White buckskin or white canvas shoes are in order with white suits, also many shades of tan, Russian and black leather shoes, invariably with rubber soles. ENDLESS VARIETY OF WRAPS. The variety of outer garments is simply endless, from little capes and capeshaped boleros, to long wraps of ample fullness that completely cover the costume.

Some of the smartest of these are made of Henrietta, combined with costly laces, embroideries and panne velvets. This material replaces the lightweight broadcloths in very many instances with excellent effect. WHAT THE AUTO DEMANDS. For auto wear whether in wraps or costumes for touring, it is essential that the material chosen should be first of all water and dust proof. Cravenette, in some of its many forms is usually chosen.

Cravenette is a process applied to almost any material from silk to mohair or to cloths of various weaves, so that the range of choice is wide, consequently, materials for auto-wear come in every conceivable color and texture. PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE. With the outdoor life of this season, the constant exposure to sun, wind and dust in auto-car, or yacht, tennis or golf, the complexion is bound to suffer permanent injury unles precautions are taken. Bathe the face in water as hot as possible after exposure; dry gently by dabbing the skin with a soft towel; then apply Pond's Extract freely, allowing it to dry, and renewing the application several times where the skin is badly burned. Dust on lightly a little good powder, and comfort is at once obtained, and the complexion insured against the evil effects that follow exposure.

A little cold cream rubbed well into the skin before going out, helps to prevent sunburn. THE DEBUTANTES. Newport society has already enjoyed the debut of three charming young women, of distinguished parentage, and several others will soon be added to the list. Gowns for these interesting occasions have been made of Liberty satin or mousseline, voile, union or radium silk with lace trimmings, but the all lace robe is a favorite for this purpose, made over chiffon taffeta, with chiffon interlinings, very full at the foot. BEAUTIFUL FABRICS.

Dancing and evening gowns are of flowered chiffon, crepe Chine, of net profusely trimmed with ribbons, of soft silk with embroideries and chiffon flower garniture, of lace with flounces and bertha in Eugenie style, or of silk mousseline in one of those shirred princesse effects, so very difficult to achieve, but so admirable when turned out in perfection by an expert. The pretty costume, shown in our illustration (taken from the Delineator), is made of pale blue messaline and dotted Swiss. Tucks and boxplaits dispose of the fullness at the top of the skirt, which is in five gores, and bretelle suspenders afford a stylish finish. These are sometimes made of the waist material, but the skirt and suspenders matching gives more the effect of an entire costume. JEWELS FLASH EVERYWHERE.

The Newport fashionist is resplendent ual. A cross large or small Jewels with jewelry thale season which is unusla suspended from the neck of everyone who claims to be style. All stones are employed and in accordayce with the prevailing fancy for aqua marine and emeraids in high esteem. Fashionable coiffures are often quite low, in order to fill up the space below the "high-back hat." The crimped Pompadour retains its sway, at the same time a few old-time crimps (without rolls of any sort) falling over the forehead, have been seen at the Casino. Fannie Field.

TREATCHILDREN LIKE PLANTS LUTHER BURBANK SAYS THE HUMAN RACE CAN BE MADE PERFECT. The Rev. Dr. James W. Lee, pastor of St.

John Southern Methodist church, St. Louis, has just returned to the city from Santa Rosa, where he had an interview with Luther Burbank, the wizard of plants and vegetables, Dr. Lee told Mr. Burbank that he had had expressed the' wish that are on might referred to his work in an address and introduce, children into the some method of the of the scientific rearideas Burbank is applying every day to the improvement of plants. Burbank declared that plants, weeds and trees are responsive to a few influences in their environment, but that children are infinitely more responsive and the failure to recognize the fact of that spiritual element in the environing conditions of children has been the fatal lack in dealing with them.

Speaking of the methods of Thomas Barnardo, of London, in educating waifs, Burbank said that Barnardo was demonstrating that infinitely more can be done with children than he was doing with plants and weeds. Burbank said that every person should be physically, morally and spiritually perfect, and could be if the same attention were paid to his or her training that he is giving to weeds. Ho declared that just as he has wrought miracles with plants by bringing them into contact with these elements of their environment to which they readily respond, just so should those who have the care of children seek to do for them and to train them by bringing their natures into relation with all the elements in environment to which they are potentially responsive. Dr. Lee inspected the work Burbank is doing with plant life, and he says that he saw a plant upon which tomatoes were growing at the top and Irish potatoes at the bottom.

This had been accomplished by interbreeding the wild potato with the tomato and regular Irish tomato. A beautiful red flower was pointed out as that of the tobacco plant, the natural color of which is white, but which Mr. Burbank had changed to red. Dr. Lee said: "Burbank's work with plants and weeds is the marvel of the age." DARKNESS AIDS ELOPEMENT ELECTRICIAN TURNED OFF THE STREET LIGHTS AND RAN OFF WITH GIRL, Pittsburg, Aug.
