even though he may have ample means
to his credit in the store.
From their squalid misery the COM
pany employees look up to the magnifi-
cent mansions on the hill above the

c. Plat former Superintendent of the
company's store). They remember that
this company was bankrupt in 1874 that
since then it has paid enormous divi-
dends, and is now possessed, openly and
cOyertly, of property variously estimat-
ed at from g., 0OO, 900 to sl0, 900,
although its nominal capital is only g..
100000. With all this, they see them
selves more wretchedly and hopeless,y
poor than they were when the company
was bankrupt.
Under such circumstances it is not
strange that the company has, ever
since the beginning of the trouble here,
been nervously apprehensive of its EN-
plOyees wreaking their vengeance upon
its stores. Two hundred men were Kept
on guard day and night to protect them.
The military have been required to
bivouac near them. The doors are kept
closed, and the men can not get the
wages due them except by marking
themselves as men never again to enter
the company's service, and this they are
10th to do, as they hope ultimately to
effect an Improvement in the terms ac-
corded them, and they are too poor to

i-Al
OF the receipts for keeping eggs there
is no end, and the quantity Of bad eggs
used is enormous used because better
ones can not be obtained. And vet
these eggs were all good once, and then
should have been used. An egg is not
intended to be kept, either for hatching
or eating. The course to adopt, then,
is clear-keep your own hens, or get
your eggs direct from producer, and
avoid the common market. BETTER eat
no eggs than eat stale or spoiled ones,
and the bulk Of eggs, especially in the
summer, is Of this kind, and for very
good reason-it is the operation Of heat !.
II the heat is great, it sets in motion the
Matching process; the yelk settles down
to the shell, and becomes affected BY
contact with the air. All this requires
very little time, beginning as soon -
the egg is laid. and It viii Be perceptible
in a few days. A fresh egg, pro-
duced from good sound feed, in
clean place, when well prepared
for the table, is a titbit. II b like
butter, which, under similar circum-
stances, gives rise to fancy prices. But
even those who produce their own eggs,
like farmers, use many stale and throw
away many bad ones. Kept few days
in summer, they will have an old taste.
This shows what care is required to get
(what really is worth the eare) q good
egg. In the winter it is less difficult TO
keep eggs. But they are comparatively
little used in winter. The demand Is
in summer when it is most difficult TO
preserve them. Keep in a. cool q place
as possible, and-but no, they are no
to be kept, they, are 70
be eaten when fresh. Ii there be
too many, there is no danger
that they will not find q ready market,
if known; by which l mean special
price, as with butter. Contracts can be
made at advanced rates. 1t only needs
q little management by those who fur
nish the eggs.
We have directions about keeping
hens, about producing eggs, etc., but
how to manage 50 as to get the eggs 70
the purchaser or consumer fresh. This
we trouble ourselves little about, COM
paratively. The main difficulty Is with
the farmer, the producer of the bulk of
the eggs, who considers it but small
item, in care Of the household, and i
therefore Indifferent, while the Consumer
who buys his eggs is so accustomed to
the stale flavor that in the main he
knows Of no other, and takes them ~
matter of course. He is easily REFORM
ed; a few fresh eggs, properly prepared,
will do it, and he viii advance the price
to secure them. There is therefore here
a basis for an increased demand; and
will not this demand warrant special
production Of eggs, independent Of the
negligent system Of the farmer-in the
end correcting that?-F. g., is Cosssry
Gentleman.

Some Facts Absat Cholera Merbus.

Cholera Morbus is now travelling
through the country, ostensibly for its
health, but really in the interest Of Sor-
row and Suffering. 1t has been to Oil
City, and having had a brief but spirit
ed Interview with it, we desire to warn
the public against it. Cholera Morbus
doesn't say much. 1t appreciates the
fact that actions speak louder than \
street merchant with new kind of glue.
1t is quiet and unassuming, and allows
its victim to make all the fuss. 1t is the
champion wrestler Of the world, catch
as-catch-can, or any other hold, and as
prize-fghter is to be avoided. 1t has
no respect for the rules of the P. r and
will strike below the belt nine times out
often. Without word of warning it will
catch man in the stomach, and double
him up quicker than the kick of mule
If the victim be q short mar, he will roll
up like q doughnut. II he be tall man,
he will fly together like watch spring.
In this condition he is of NO earthly use,
unless as worm in distillery. A man
rolled up like a thread on spool can't
be expected to do much work. But to
near uiu SIO1u Nuu COuPiulu ouu CuIly
on in one way and another, you would
think he did mere hard work for less
wages than any other man on the face
of the earth. In this condition he will
do almost any thing. He will roll over
the floor like hoop-snake, to the in
finite amusement of the neighbors' chill
dren, who are doubtless peeping through
the blinds. And to hear him yell for
the camphor, the mustard plasters, the
turpentine, his wife and mother, and all
the doctors this side Of the Rocky Noun
tains, is enough to move the stones of
Rome to pity. But it doesn't move the
cholera morbus. Because the cholera
morbus is a slayer. Every time the vic
tim yells. say for aqua FORTS, the chol-
era morbus might be heard to reply:
40, I'll give you aqua FORTS, you miser-
able worm" and then it thumps him in
the bowels until he prays for the rocks
and hills to tumble in upon him. He
does this because he realizes that, com-
pared with the cholera morbus, the
rocks and hills will sit as lightly upon him
as an alpaca coat. There is nothing too
mean for Cholera Morbus to do. Ii viii
