A Diet of Eggs.

CONSIDERING the enormous quantities
of eggs which are imported annually
from France into this country, it would
seem not only that the business of
poultry farming is better understood
across the Channel than it is here, but
also that the English are even more fond
than the French of this article of food.
1t is not embarrassing TO have the opin-
ion of a popular medical writer in
France upon the merits and dement's Of
diet of eggs. After explaining the
chemical composition of hens egg,
and laying due stress upon the large
proportion of albuminous matter con-
tanned in it, DIR. Valoureux goes on to
assert that some prudence should be ex-
ercised in indulging an appetite for eggs.
OF ali the six hundred different modes
of preparing them for the table, the
most wholesome is that of simply boil
ing them a Ia cog, as the French phrase
has it. But it is necessary even in ac-
cepting this rule to qualify it by adding
that the egg should not be boiled too
much, as in such case it becomes very
much less digestible. Another injunction
is that the eggs should not be eaten
without taking some wine or other
liquid at the same time; and the Doctor
recounts story of a certain modern
Blue Beard who was said to have killed
four or five wives successfully by induc-
ing them every morning to eat two eggs
without drinking any thing at all.
Moreover eggs are not to be devoured
in large quantities at time, unless the
person making the experiment wishes to
have a painful experience of the maxim
that an egg is equivalent to quarter of
a pound of meat.
Apropos of this latter warning the
Frenchman might have added, il he had
known it, very modern Devonshire
story of a laborer who was ordered by
the village doctor to eat eggs, and
whose employer gave him a.shilling TO
enable him to comply with thee orders
without going to any understandable ex-
pense. A few days afterward the good
natured employer called to ask how the
sufferer was. He had followed out the
Doctors injunctions with alacrity, but,
instead of being any better, was a great
deal worse; and further inquiries ELECTED
the fact that he had bought eighteen
eggs with his shilling, and had at once
set to and finished them at sitting

Comedy and Tragedy.

IT is q matter Of general observation
that q comedy, especially II a, society
play, will assemble at theater, 4 more
refined audience than n tragedy will.
The people gathered mt tragedy are
probably not less intellectual than those
drawn together to witness a comedy,
but the latter come from higher social
level, and consist more noiiceably of
our wealthy, cultured, and what are
called fashionable people. There are
several reasons to account for this
anomaly. A tragedy, to those who as
pire, who suffer, who struggle, who
have the bitterness of disappointment,
who carry passionate yearnings and un-
spoken griefs, who instead of the dar-
lings, are the forsaken of Fortune-to
these a tragedy Is often their own sym.
pathetic cry of pain. The tumultuous
passion of play reflects their silent
but keenly-experienced emotions. The
grief within them that longs so often for
voice discovers adequate expression;
the very sympathy that Is awakened for
the hero is a reelected self. sympathy:
and the surrender of the troubled soul
under such conditions to the troubles of
another becomes, not an addition, but
transposition of sorrows. As the
great mass of mankind carry within
them sharp discontents, those who are
imaginative and sympathetic find in the
passions of tragedy that relief and that
pleasure we have described. But our
" best people," SO called, our men of
wealth, success, fortune, and social cul-
ture, our men of ripe fruition, who stand
and crowned in mems ewes
these have no hidden passions 10 awaken.
They are for the most part busy with
affairs, absorbed in professional or other
duties, and are not susceptible TO the in
fiuence of sentiment. Trained TO SUBJ
due emotion, and TO experience either
disaster or success with wcll-brcd calm
ness, they rather disdain the rant and
CONFUSION Of tragedy-hero's passion.
Smooth, calm, possessed, they have no
with emotion that bursts out
into frenzy Of words. Az forms of
mental violence are repulsive 10 their
idea, opposed to their culture, foreign
10 their habits. Tragedy to them Is tit
lie better than q picturesque riot,
which is scarcely endurable. IL they
have sufficient literary tastes to care for
poetry, they prefer the classical drama
10 the romantic. The smooth, polished
and elegant defamation Of Talma or
kemble might please them, but the
|renzied passion of robus.ious actor
offends them to the soul.

very excellent company played to beggarly

the best of reasons for giving st. Paul a wide
berth in the future. While exerting themselves
to please an appreciative but small audience on
Thursday evening, the dressing rooms of two of
the members were entered by sneak thief
who got away with several of the company 8
valuables.
Among the principal losers were Mr.. L. ST.
mons, who mourns the loss of solitaire shirt
stud, valued at $780, which was taken from the
