Eggs by Weight.

The Egg bill has passed the Assem-
bly, and is now before the Senate We
mean the bill providing for the sale of
eggs by weight, for nearly every bill
that originates in our model Legisla-
ture has an EGG" in it for the
legislative nest. If the Governor,
after sitting in judgment upon the
bill, should think proper to hatch it
into law, it will give general salts
faction. The Assembly debate elicit
ed the fact that the honest farmers
who keep hens pass the eggs through
a sieve before they send them to mar
ket, keeping all the large ones for
themselves and selling the small ones
only. The process Of sorting goes on
through three or four hands, until the
poor woman who goes to the grocery
with her basket gets a very diminutive
egg for her money. To be sure we
can see some difficulties in the way of
the law. If small purchaser wants
six ounces of eggs, and three weigh
either a little over or little under
that weight, how is the difference to
be made up? Then, again, poor
family of twelve persons may want
an egg apiece; but in buying pound
and half they may get only nine or
ten large eggs, and there will be diff
Guilty about the division. There will
be heaps of trouble among female
clearinghouse keepers. too, should
they get less instead of more than
twelve eggs for the price by weight Of
. dozen. However, the bill Ii, on the
whole, good one, especially In view
of the foul tricks Of the fsrmers.-N.

Singular Escapes from Death.

A very exciting incident occurred
not long since at the village ofSOudan
in France. In consequence of the
weathercock at the top of the church
steeple getting rusty and no longer
turning as il should do, it was deter
mined to take it down. A man Chamber
ed up the steeple, but just before he
could reach the weathercock he lost
his balance and slid down for seventy
feet then rebounded on the roof of the
church, and thence, precipitated to
the ground. He was not much hurt,
but being much shaken up by his
fall. he was replaced by man called
Chevalier. In about half an hour
Chevalier made the most gallant eff
forts to haul himself up by means of a
rope; but at last his hands slipped
and he fell backwards. His foot fort
unately caught in the rope, and there
he remained 40 feet from the ground,
with his head down, beating the air
with his arms, struggling to recover
himself, and swayed backward and
forward by high wind. Pierre Pean
now stepped forth and volunteered to
mount to the rescue of the unfortun-
ate Chevalier. but, after doing his
best for three-quarterS Of an hour,
Pierre had to descend. His place was
taken by Moreau, who climbing high
er than Chevalier, slipped rope
round his body, and cutting that
which held his foot. freed him from
the fearful position il which he had
remained for three hours.

4 war among the coal monopoiists
is one of the gratifying possibilities OF
the near future, and with il a general

five would examine the books OF
| one of the model farmers Of the period,
we should find an account headed
Fixtures and Implements" or MA
chinery:" on further inspection, we
should discover that the items OF this
| account are numerous, and the
| amounts are larger than in most other
accounts in the book.
The modern farmer learns by expe-
rience that machinery and successful
agriculture are linked together by an
inseperable band-that the life of one
depends upon the other. Now this Is
undeniable, and therefore we infer
that the farmer should understand the
qualities necessary to q good machine,
lust as well as he comprehends those
necessary to good seed corn, or No.
wheat.
Use great care in making your pur-
chases. First, as matter of course,
be sure that you deal with reliable
house; not because you may be swim
died out of your money. but because
you may be otherwise cheated in the
quality of the machine. Now we have
been "behind the scenes" in this line,
as an employee; and although we serv-
ed reliable firm We could not fail to
see how easily money could be made
by putting defective posts inside
thresher, or poor casting where they
could not be easily seen, on horse pow
er. Machines put up in this manner
are often sent by some houses to par
ties at distance. OF course such a
machine will soon break down. so,
farmers beware.
ifpossible always examine before
buying. Remember that two elements
enter into the construction of every
machine. LIST, conformity to the laws
of applied mechanics; md, accurate
and honest construction. OF the pres
ence of the latter you can satisfy your
self by inspection. If in new machine
a shaft rattles or binds in its bearings;
if the stills, posts, braces, ETC.. do not
fit closely at the joints; if the pulleys
and gears do not run true; ifthe shafts
are too light, set that machine down
as clap-trap concern made to sell not
to work. Examine carefully the in
side, and look out for cracked timbers,
big knots, and castings with blow
holes in them. Get at the under side
of the machine if possible. Be sure
that none Of the foregoing defects are
in the machines you buy, or your bill
at the machine shops will take off half
the profits gained by your machines

SYMPTOMS of a Diseased Liver.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAN in the right side, under the edge
of the ribs, increases on pressure;
sometimes the pain is in the left side; the
patient is rarely able to lie on the left
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder blade, and it frequently ex-
tends to the top of the shoulder, and is
sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss Of appetite and sickness; the bowels
in general are costive, sometimes alterna-
tive with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with a painful sensation of
having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
bility he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains ofa
prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few ofthem existed,
yet examination ofthe body, after death,
has shown the LIVER to have been ex-
tensively deranged.

Among recent inventions the Bray
ton Hydrocarbon engine is worthy of
special notice 1t IL remarkable in
having no furnace, fire-box or boiler
in connection with it. The working
cylinder Ii at once boiler and fire-box
PETROLEUM mixed with air serves the
purpose of fuel and steam. This
mixture, as all are aware, is explosive
and is introduced behind the piston at
the beginning of each stroke. A burn
ing jet of oil in the cylinder lights
the explosive compound and the
piston il forced along the cylinder.
This engine can be started a. quickly
as horse and requires very little
attention. A plug is pulled out of an
orifice leading into the cylinder and a
match applied, and the engine i'm

Under the above heading the Scten-
fife AMERICAS of May eth has long
and interesting article, from which
we make the following extracts:
To show with what rapidity inven-
TORS made improvements on inven-
,ions emIodying original principles,
saws the writer, it may be noted that
IN the early days of the sewing ma
chine Il6 patents were granted for I'M
movements thereon in a single year !;
and out of the 1910 patents issued In
the wear 1857, l52 were for improved
cotton-gins and presses, l6i for I'M
provements on the steam engine, and
las for novel devices relating to rail-
roads and improvements in the roll
inw stock. In the year 1913, three
years after the publication of this pa
uer was commenced, but 660 patents
were granted, But under the stimu-
illus of publishing those inventions
as they were patented, ten wears later,
in 1858. the number had increased
skiold, reaching 3,I1o, while up to
January lst, 1859, as already stated,
the aggregate of patents issued
amounted 10 II, 461; since that time
aud up to the present the total Is 49,
al5.
And curiosity here leads Us adds
the editor 10 review our own work j,
extending back, say, twenty years, or
to 1857, a period during which l7o,15
patents have been issued. We find,
by actual count, that 62,062 appHca-
tions have been made through the
Scientific Patent Agency for Patents
in the United States and abroad. This
averages almost ten applications Fer
day sun days excluded, over the entire
period, and bears the relation of more
than one quarter to the total number
of patents issued in this country up to
the time OF writing.
