An american Industry in China.

established industry in that city fhe op-
iect is to preserve eggs in such q manner
that they will be fresh and suitable for con-
sumption. or moro particularly, useful IN
cooking, for any length Of time and IN any
climate. The eggs are procured by regular
egg dealers from the farmers arouna' ana
are bought by the company on very iaVofa-
BE terms, sometimes dearer and sometimes
cheaper; but always at a lar lower rate
than they would be procurable elsewhere.
The quantity preserved daily depends more
on snnplv than anything else. As many as
500 dozen day can be done, Il they are
Forthcoming. Nothing can be more simple
than the process. The eggs are broken,
and white and yolk together are emptied

Serenity il Death.

Perfect serenity in regard to death is not
attained by any effort of the will, nor By
any mere process of reasoning /; it is rather
the result of happy combination Of bodily
and mental conditions. The chief of these
conditions, the assured hope of the future
beyond the grave, in comparison Of which
the brightest earthly visions fade like
candle before the dawn, is not given at all !;
and in these days. especially, it is for many
oyershadowed, If not altogether blotted
ont, by doubts and questionings which can
no longer be hidden from the multitude.
Even to those who most earnestly cling to
the hope Of Immortality, it would seem that
our troublous inheritance Of sympathy
must cast many distressing side-light
upon prospects which of old the faithful
| were able TO take undistnrbrd delight.
However this may be, the mere prospect OF
prolonged existence beyond the grave,
apart from other reasons for joyful conf
dence, must be taken raIher as enlaFging
the scope of our hopes and our fears than
i as necessarily altering the balance be-
tween them. HabituaI hopefulness may
color the prospect beyond tho grave With
the same glowing tints which it throws ovel
/ this world, So that in some cases the same
cause which makes life delishtfnl makes
! death not unweIeeme. Such state oI MIND
though rare, is nos unknown. hut pen

Why Cork snu;a ed Grant.
Washington Star. Jan. q.

i f35
Private letters received from Cork and
Dublin by Irish citizens of Washington
confirm the opinion that the refusal of the
+ city of Cork to receive General Grant was
due principally to the treatment which the
| Centennial address adopted by citizens of
Ireland and sent to this country received at
the hands of President Grant. The senti-
ments expressed in President Grants Des
Moines speech on "Church and State y
vas made the ostensible reason for the re-
| fusal of Cork TO honor the ex-President !;
but the indignation felt at the non-recep-
tion of that fraternal address was, it is al
legged, the true ground of resentment. 1t
appears that the whole feeling against Gen
eral @ rant was worked up by Mr.. Doran,
who, to make sure of the snubbing of Gen.
Grant, used his supposed antl-Cathollc
views against HIM. The people of Ireland,
the letters state, were not enraged at the
refusal of this government to receive the
address, but at what they considered their
shabby treatment by General Grant. The
embossed document was sent over to this
country by Messrs. Parnell and OConnor
Power, two Irish members OF the British
Parliament. Mr.. Parnell was selected as
one Of the delegates because he was a
grandson of Commodore Stewart, of the
American navy. When these gentlemen
arrived at New York General Grant was at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel. They called upon
him with number of compatriots living in
this country, and made known the object
of their visit. One of the gentlemen who
was present at the interview told Star re-
porter to, day that they were received most
cordially. President Grant was glad to see
that SO kindly feeling was felt in Ireland
for the welfare of the United States. He
would, he said, be most happy to receive
tbs address, and expressed himself as ready
to receive it then and there, The delega-
tion thought that, to give more eclat to the
presentation it should be made here in
Washington. Gen. Grant expressed him.
self as satisfied with the arrangement.
Messrs. Parnell and Power came to Wash
ington, and upon the return of the Presi-
dent sent the document to the White House.
The next morning they received a note
from Assistant Secretary of State Cadwal-
lader-Secretary Fish was absent and did
not, as is generally supposed, have any
hand i'll the matter-saying that the adj
dress could not be received except through
the British Ministry. As the contents of it
were inimlcal, inferentially, to Great Brit
ain, the impossibility of such course being
taken was evident. The Irish members of
Parliament then left for New York. The
address was sent from here by a gentleman
to Mr.. Power, in New York. but whether
it was taken back to Ireland or still remains
in this country is not definitely known. 1t
is very probable that it is now in New
York. The letters from Ireland say thai
no bad feeling would have been engendered
if the President had stated that he could
not have received the address when first
waited upon, instead of promising to do SO

Grain IN Es.:ops and America.


Europe producfs now on an average
5000 900, 900 bushels of grain, of which
Russia produces one-third, Germany and
France, $50, ,0o0,O00 each, and Austria
500 600 900. The United States produces
/, 900, ,00O, 900 bushels, on about the same as
Russ,a. In order TO appreciate The adyan-
tages Of the United States, the population
shouid be taken into account; this is for
the United States, 40, ,000, 600, and therefore
we produce forty bushels per head; while
Europe, with population Of quito 800, co.
900. produces sixteen bushels Russia twen-
ty six bushels per head, and Great Britain
only four bushels per head. AS the aver
age quantity of gras i, consumed, per head,
is fifteen bushels, we produce nearly three
times as much as we want. Russia scarce

The Color Of Human aair.

In the current number of the Anthf0poti-
gscat Institute appears a paper by Mr. ID.
i. Sorby, describing some researches in
,ich he has endeavored to isolate the
/. sments of the hair, and to subject them
TO chemical and spectroscopic scrutiny.
Hitherto little has been really known re-
specting the causes of the difference in col
or. and the distinctive characters of the va
rious capillary pigments. Mr.. sorby con-
eludes that hair is a eoloriess, horny sub
stance. tinted in different specimens by
three. or possibly four, distinct pigmentary
bodies. Ordinary solvents, such as water
and alcohol, have no action on the pigments
since these are protected by the horny mat
ter. Sulphuric acid, more or less dliate,
appears to be the best medium for separa-
ting the coloripg principles. By this means
the author obtains from different kinds Of
human hair reddish, a yellowish, and a
black pigment. 1t is possible that the red,
which is an unstable body, may pass into
the yellow by process of oxidation. Very
red hair is characterized by the presence o.
the red constituent, unmodified by Other
pigments; dark red hair contains also somt
| of the black pigmentary matter; colder
hair has less of the red and more OF the vel
low principle; in sandy brown hair th'
black and red constituents are ASSOCIATED
with large proportion Of yellow colorlnt
/ matter: in dark brown hair the black pig
ment increases at the expense Of the Others
while in black hair this dark coloring ma
terial completely overpowers the associates
pigments.
Itis a notable fact that Mr. Sorby foun'
in some very black hair of negro just
| large proportion Of red pigments as IN
very red hair of European origin. We may
therefore, safely conelnde that if this negr
had failed to develop the black pigment hl
hair would have been, not white, nat
bright red as that of any red-halred Euro

Perverted Ingenuity.

The Boston Journal of Chemistry thinks
there is good deal of perverted ingenuity
in the world besides that which is directly
criminal or mischievous in it's purpose. 1t
Is indirectly criminal because it is a waste
of labor and skill, sometimes even to health
and l.fe. in doing difficult but utterly USE
less thing merely to show that it can be
done, or for the sake of the noteriety which
the achievement is likely to gain. Every
museum has specimens Of this mlsapplied
toll and ingenuity - miniature models,
carvings, and the like, which are marvels
of delicacy and elaboration, but of no real
artistic merit and of no possible practical
value. II a solitary prisoner in his cell be-
guiles the weary years of his confinement
with such patient labor, for the lack of
other employment or diversion, we pardon
while we pity him. We may even forgive
the ubiquitous old woman who displays at
the country fair the quilt of II. 900 and odd
pieces of patchwork, as fearful in design
and coloring as it is complicated in struct-
nre; for it may never have occurred to the
worthy dame, and no Christian friend may
have reminded her, that the time and work

foot poor, and have counted more to her
credit on certain long running ledger than
the coveted "premium or honorable
mention " at the village show. But when
sensible and cultivated people deliberately
combine in planning and carrying oSt some
silly performance of this kind. they ought
not TO receive the eulogies of the public
press or the honors Of international exhibit
tionS.
These criticisms have been suggested by
the accounts in foreign journals of book
which we are told was put into the market
at the close of the French Exhibition. Its
claim to distinction is the fact that it is the
smallest book in the world. 1t is a "l2S-
mo- edition of Dante's " Divina Comme"

A WINTER SUNSET.

'Tis sunset, ard these wintry skies
Look soft and fair as those of May;
Ar,sy light along them lies,
The blush of the fast-fading day.
The portals of the glowing West
Wear every hue that Nature weaves,
To welcome our departing guest
Whom the glad earth in silence leaves.
And now gray shadows drop adcwn
The sombre hills, the woods and streams,
And silence falleth like a crown
Upon the days tumultuous dreams.
There is no voice of bird, no sound
or falling waters, rustling leaf,
But stiffness as it peace profound
Had banished toll and hnshed each grief.
Oh !! sunset hour, what memories throng
To fiji thy presence brief and bright,
Till all of trial, pain and wrong
Fade in thy gentle, healing light!
And other eyes and far-off skies,
And voices sweet as angels song
Blend with the countless harmonies
That to this hallowed time belong.

Scotch Indifference to the Dead.
From Coz d Words.

from, ~ WOiLS.
We have been idly looking attn fact,
oyerlooking--a large, long packing-case,
which lay 10 the fore part of the boat all
alone. Now, as we stopped az little wood
en- pier, four men came forward and carried
il, rather unsteadily, for it seemed heavy,
across the gangway ON shore. There they
left it, laying on top of it two barrels filed
with eatables and drinkables, and stood
ioafing ABOUT, watching the cable slipped
and our boat steam on across the Sound.
What shudder it would have given to the
vonnp English bride and bridegroom had
tbey known thai in that packing case we
had landed one silent passenger, probably
once belonging to these regions, and now
brought home from Oban, or Glasgow, or
still further of, his life's work done, to
sleep. as is the craving of the Highlander,
under the shadow of his native mountains.
To those who knew the depth of tenderness
in the Scottish heart, it is a perpetual mar
vel. the extreme indifference and apparent
want of respect shown to the dead il Scot
land. Not merely IN such instances as this,
only too common, but, as a general rule,
you may go from end TO end Of Scotland
and scarcely find burial ground which Is
in the least cared FOR, which is not one mass
of hsiars, nettles and weeds. Possibly this
springs from the ultra-Calyanistic horror
OF Popery. as instanced in the silent com

SOMEHOW OR OTHER.

Life has burden for every mans shoulder,
Some may escape from Its trouble and care;
Miss it in youth and twill come when we're Older,
And fit us as cloae as the garments we wear.
Sorrow comes into our lives uninvted,
Robbing our hearts of the treasure of songs
Lovers grow cold and friendships are sighted,
Yet somehow or other We worry along.
Everyday toll is an everyday blessing,
Though poverty's cottage and crust we may share,
Weak is the back on which burdens are pressing,
But stout is the heart that is Strengthened by
prayer.
Somehow or other the pathway grows brighter
just when we mourn there were none to befriend
Hope in the heart makes the burden seem lighter.
And somehow or other we get to the end.
