consist, in the first case, OF albumen and

much time as mutton-that is from three to
four hours. They are most readily digested
when boiled until the white becomes partly
consolidated. An ordinary hens egg weighs
from one and half to two ounces ducks
egg from two TO three ounces: the egg of
the sea-gull and the turkey from three to
for ounces, and the egg of the goose from
four to six ounces. The solid matter and
the oil in the ducks egg exceed those in the
hens by about One.fourth. According to
DR.. Edward Smith in his treatise on
Foods, y an egg weighing an ounce and
three-quarters consists 100 grains OF carbon
Isl grains of nitrogen, or 1926 per centum
OF carbon and two per centum OF nitrogen.
a recent writer estimates that the value of
one pound of eggs as food for sustaining the
active forces OF the body is to the value of
one pound of lean beef as 1924 to 900. As
a flesh producer one pound OF egg is about
equal to one pound of beef A hen may be
calculated to consume one bnshcl of corn
yearly, and to lay twelve or eighteen pounds
OF eggs. This is equivalent TO saying that
three and one-tenth pounds of corn will
produce, when fed to a hen, one pound If

No sooner were we on the Virginia side,
and on the public highway, than six or

about halt mile we turned up another
road that ran at right angles, and went
iuated sh mites, before one of which our
gang halted, and, knocking at the door,
entered. We found darkey lying cross
ways on bed, as drunk as a billed owl.
With good deal Of pushing and pulling
he was brought to sitting position, and a
feeble light of Intelligence dawned in his
piggish eyes We were formally introduc.
by the co nstable in these words:

sitting up, he fined us two dollars.

You's broke the law, and the law says
you must pay it.
Well, what could we do; so we paid the
fine, and before we were discharged, the
constables divided out the money between
them, and one pulling out an old pack Of
greasy cards, they got handful of corr
