The traffic in eggs in this country is
estimated, by competent authorities,
to equal SI5nG0OO per annum. New
York receives in single year $4,000
barrels Of eggs, valued at S9,OO0,OOO.
In 1877 there were exported from this
country 5,3D2.20J dozen eggs, valued at
SGjS,IOl. 1t is claimed that Philadel-
phia consumes daily $4,000 dozen eggs.
The approximate receipts of eggs in
Boston for the year 1873 have been
shown as follows: 1O7,62T cases, con-
tanning 40 dozen each; 1900 boxes,
containing 100 dozen each, and 17,7S3
barrels, containing 20 dozen each.
These figures give, as Il result, lGS,4lO
packages, containing 6,5l5,652 dozen
eggs. or Is, Isl, ,S}G single eggs. 1t is es-
timated that fully 50 per centum of all
receipts are consumed in MaSSachu-
sets, and that about 50 per centum are
consumed in and near Boston. In near
~ all small towns and villages enough
eggs. are raised to supply the local de-
mund. The number of eggs consumed
in this state, when computed, is found
To be at an average of y eggs per year
to every inhabitant, or one egg per
week. All these eggs come to Boston
from various sections. IN about the
following proportions: Eastern eggs.

In his sermon on Sunday last Henry

"The great question to-day is wheth-

il became a different matter, when
the little Board got tOgetherand began

Rules for Winter.

Never lean with yOur back upon
anything that is cold. Never begin a
journey until the breakfast has been
eaten. Never take warm drinks and
then Immediately go out i'll the cold
air. Keep the back-eSpecially the
shoulder blade-well covered, also the
chest well protected. In sleeping in a
cold room, establish the habit of
breathing through the nose, and never
with the mouth open. Never go to
bed with cold or damp feet; always
toast them by a fire ten or fifteen min
uteS before going to bed. Never omit
regular bathing, for unless the skin is
in active condition the cold will close
the pores, and favor congestion or 9TH
er diseases. After exercises OF any
kind never ride in an open carriage OF
near the window of Il car for a mo-
ment; it is dangerous to health and
even TO life When hOarse, speak as
little rs possible until it is recovered
from, else the Voice may be perma-
nently lost. or difficulties of the throat
may be produced. Merely warm the
back by Il fire. and never continue
keeping the back exposed to heat after
it has become comfortably warm. To
do otherwise IS debilitating. When
going from a warm atmosphere into 4
colder one. keep the mouth closed SC
that the air may be warmed by its pas
sage through the nose, ere it reaches
the lungs. Never stand still in cold
weather, especially after having takeT
a slight degree of exercise; and always
avoid standing on ice or snow, Ol
where Il person IS exposed to a cold
wind.-IlJGHy Argus.

II was two rival drummcrs
The merits that did blow
OF safes were in 81 Louis made
And safes frUm Chicago.
They ehaneed upon merchant
Who faia a safe would buy,
And in the praise " their houses wares
The druRmers twain did vie,
Eash striving to see which could construct
The aOst colossal lie.
Up spake the ST. Louis drummer.
Once a uIan eat did take
And locked the animal in a safe
OF cur superior make
They made bonfire round the safe
With lar and Kerosene,
And fOT fOur-and-twenty hours II blazed
With raging heat, ween.
The fire went out, the safe was cooled.
And I will forfeit five
Hundred good dollars if that cat
Did not come out alive"
Then mildly spake and answered him
lhe ChlcagO safe agent
with our safe one day We did essay
The same experiment
I'VE placed the safe selected on

And piteh-pine We heaped in eOal-OiI steepet

And in forty eight hours We ope'd the safe.
And. alas the cat WIS dead -
Was dead? Aha - his rival cried.
With triumphant breath;
But the Chicago man replied.
Yes, the eat WAS frozen 10 death :"
No word the st. Louis drummer spoke.
But silent he stood and wan,
While the Kansas merchant an order gave

In extremely cold weather the ami
mails should be cared for earlier in the
morning than usual. Curry and brush
the horses little longer, and don't fail
to card ths cows. Cattle ought To
have access TO the sunshine, which
they naturally seek if they have the
chance. Horses do better if they are
exercised daily, but they need good
care after it. Il is common To see a
man tie his horse to a post, toss an old
robe over his back, and then leave
him for an hour or longer In
few minutes the animal he
comes restless, and in moving
about the robe is thrown under foot.
Every owner of horse ought to own a
good blanket that can be fastened
around the breast of the animal, where
protection is needed most. Act upon
this precautiOn. and tie the horse so
that he will not face the wind, and he
will DE saved much discomfort and
perhaps more serious trouble.

Warm Water for Bruises.

Applying cold water to a bruise or
confusion stops, more or less, the blood
in its course through the injured part.
The spot is "black and blue Apply
ing hot water compels the moving fluid
10 hasten it's course and be far away
from the scenes of turmoil. So the
blood hastens on its way and leaves
very few marks OF its presence. Or
dinarily, bruises and cOntusiOns rup-
ture some capillary blood tubes, and
allow the blood to OOZe out. The thing
to be done is to compel the blood to
flow on its wOnted way. The appllca-
ton Of very warm water is the best
treatment for cOntusiOns and bruises.

Invisible Patches,

The "inyisible patch" on boots and
shoes is thing that the owner of dilap-
ldated fancy feet coverings delights in.
But to get one put on by the cObbler
costs nearly rs much rs by the old way.
This need not be, for any boy can put
them on himself in the following way,
given by correspondent of the COUn-
try Gentleman:
Take gutta percha, half ounce; bi-sul-
phuret carbon, two ounces. In wide
mouth bottle put the two together, and
shake occasionally until the gutta
percha is dissolved and it is ready for
use, when the patch is To be applied,
scrdpe the boot or shoe until the black
ing is off and the leather is "A little
rough, On this dust with fine resin,
minuteSt quantity; serve the patch the
same way. Then spread a little Of the
cement on both the shoe and the
patch, first having shaved the
edges of the patch. Apply like court
plaster, and smooth with "a warm
spoon or iron, and the shoe will soon
be ready to wear. 4 few hours will
harden the cement When properly
done the patch will he Invisible, and
will last as long as the shoe. This
cement is waterproof, The gutta
percha, shaved to thin slices, is kept in
India rubber stores for the above pur-
poses. Ten cents worth will do the
work of a family for a long time. The
bi-Sulphuret of carbon is sold by drug
gists, and will cost five or ten cents an
ounce. The smell, which is offensive
soon passes off.
