Sex In Eggs.

Eds. Country Gentleman.
Although not u subscriber, but only an
occasional reader, :give::a bit of my
experience in regard to the sex in eggs.
/ noticed 9. BIS article in the paper of
August 10, on the failure of the Gambling
process. and wish to relate the success
which l met with. Sevesl years ago l
set thirteen eggs of the Black Hamburg
variety Il do not know as breed makes
any difference), having carefully CAL
died and marked them; two OF which
we're expected 10 produce cocks and the
rest bullets. Four of the eggs that were
marked pullets did not hatch; all the
rest hstcned, and before reaching matur-
ity one of the chicks died. At last l
found that had two cocks and SIX pull
cts. | do not know whether any one
would consider this fair trial or not.
Circum tances have been such that II have
ootsince tried the experiment. 80 far
rs have tried, have found that cross
between the Black Spanish and the Boil
ton GREY makes the best layers. tried
them two seasons. and they outlayed
spy | ever saw. Without any accom-
mediation, only snch as they had IN the
summer they continued TO lay all winter.
They had the full run of the barn, with
corn placed in tub where they could get
il when hungry; and in the morning l
ave them IL dian meal scsldedwitn tea
spoonful or so of red pepper. l did not
keep account of the eggs LAID, but KNOW
of no other breed which has dope so well
and with so little care, laying all through
the winter, and not showing the least IN
clinstion to sit. w. T. d.

well as every one who has the good for
tune to be catered for by such, are due to
Mr.. TatlOck, the analytical chemist, for
the pains he has taken to demonstrate
the dangers that lurk in enameled cook
ing utensils 1t is q common and very
natural belief that vessels lined with a
substaI CO not distingushable by the or
binary eye from porcelain are perfectly
safe for all kinds of cooking. Mr.. Tat
lock finds that while this is true of
some, made by certain msnufac-
turers. it is the very reverse of the truth
rs regards others. In the Sanitary Re-
cord of September 23d, will be found his
analysis OF three samples of the so-called
porcelain. Without going into chemical
details it is enough to say that two out
of the three contain very large quantities
of lead, one as much rs twenty-five per
cent. OF its weight. This lead Is IN an
uncom bined, or teebly combined eondi.
ton, AID is liable to be dissolved by very
feeble acid solutions. There Is prob
ably no fruit except strawberries
that would not dissolve it freely,
and there can be little doubt that even
water boiled in these. vessels would take
up quantity quite sufficient to injure
health. In addition to this, one of the
samples contained over one per cent. OF
arsenic, another nearly half per cent,
and the third mere trace or, to be &C
curate l-5Oth per cent. MIR. Tatlock
would add to the favor he has conferred
upon the public if he would tell us which
manufactures avoids these dangerous in
gradients.

BrOeRde for Brides,

In the long ago brocade surpassed all
other fabrics IN the way of beng EN-
ployed in the manufacture of rich dresses
Then it.was made entirely of threads of
gold and silver. or of the two mixed.
Ornaments of flowers and foliage were
interviewer and raised above the surface
of the cloth. Even when a cheaper ma
terlal, rs silk, was substituted Tor the
metallic threads, the raised ornament of
leaves and flowers still continued to char
acterizs the brocades. However, band
some as this material was, its day, like
that of other things, animate and inani-
mate, came to an end, and for some time
its many beauties failed to receive the
slightest appreciation. Fashion chose
TO ignore the wonderful fabric, and so
her votsries did likewise. Now it is her
within to take it up again, and the bride
OF to-day, like the BRIDE of old, deems it
no less than her bounden duty to array
herself in its handsome folds The flu
rore, in fact, for brccades and damasks is
almost beyond comprehension. There
seems to be a,unlversal desire to atone
for lost time, to make it evident that
grand mistake had been committed in al
lowing the fabric to lie idle during so
many years As regards the arabesques
and flowers OF the designs OF these bro
cades and damasks, they are so intricate
that very little of the plain satin ground
work is visible. Cream white, rose
white, and silver white are the three diff
ferent shades OF gros-graln for bridal
dresses; and, instead OF the gros-grsin
being used tor the foundation of the
dress, and the brocade for the more
prominent portions, the arrangement is
reversed-the train and sleeves are now
made OF brocade silk, and the plain gros-
grain fer the upper part of the dress.
The princess poIonaise, with the breadths
entire from neck to foot, and the large
single pockets, are as much in vogue for
wedding as for ordinary toilets. White
roses, with dark glossy foliage are now
as much used as the conventional orange
blossoms and long unhemmed tulle wells
are more general than lace ones.
