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 uninteresting to have the opin-
ion of popular medical writer in
France upon the merits and demerits of
diet of eggs. After explaining the
chemical composition of n hens egg,
and laying due stress upon the large
proportion of albuminous matter con-
tanned in it, DR.. Valoureux goes on to
assert that some prudence should be eX-
ercised in indulging an appetite for eggs.
OF all the six hundred different modes
of preparing them for the table, the
most wholesome is that of simply boil
ing them 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 a story of 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 painful experience of the maxim
that an egg is equivalent to quarter Of
pound of meat.
Apropos of this latter warning the
Frenchman might have added, if he had
known it, a very modern Devonshire
story of laborer who was ordered by
the village doctor to eat eggs, and
whose employer gave him shilling to
enable him to comply with these orders
without going to any unwarrantable ex-
pense. A few days afterward the good
natured employer called to ask how the
sufferer was. lie had followed out the
DOCTORS injunctions with alacrity, but,
instead of being any better, was 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 a sitting

About Giving OHense.

The dread Of giving offense, like tho
habit of taking It, says Mrs. Mulock-
Craik, springs quite as often from self.
esteem as from sensitiveness. Vain,
self-engrossed people are apt to exag-
gerate the importance they are TO other
people, and so to have nervous terror
of "vexing" them; whereas q man of
single mind, who does not trouble him
self much about himself, never takes
offense, and is therefore not apt to i'm
agine he has given any. He goes straight
on, neither turning to the right nor the
left, does the best thing, 80 far as he
sees it, and the kindly thing whenever
it lies in his power; but beyond this he
does not afllict himself much as to what
people think of him. If they expect
what they had no right to expect, exact
more than they are Justified in requir-
ing, above all, take offense where he had
no intention of giving any, then he alto
gether refuses to be victimized. He
may make no great stir and present no
obnoxious front-indeed, probably he
considers the matter too small to fight
about-but the victimizers can make
nothing of him. He calmly goes on his
way, worrying" neither himself nor
his neighbor on the matter. Life is too
short for tempests in tea-pots, or, in
deed, for any other unnecessary storms;
we must just do our duty, and let it
alone. But in this great question of
doing ones duty, | think we can not
too sharply draw the line between what
is really our duty and what other peo-
pie choose to suppose it is, probably
each person having different opinion
on the subject. We are apt TO start in
life with a grand idea of self-sacrifice,
and heroic sense of the Joy of it; aye,
there is joy, deeper than the selfish
can ever understand, delight keener
than the pleasure-loving can ever know,
in spending and being spent for our
best-beloved, or even in the mere abb
stract help of the good and defense of
the miserable-tha enthusiasm of
humanity" as q great writer once called
it, which is at the heart of all religion,
the love of man springing from the love
of God. Yet, alas! ere long we come TO
learn that there are sacrifices which
turn out to be sheer mistakes, running
ourselves and profiting nobody; that
unselfishness, carried to an extreme,
only makes other people selfish; that
the "fear of man bringeth snare"
and to make ones whole life miserable
through a weak dread of offending this
person, who has no right to be offended,
or of not doing ones duty to that per-
son, who has the smallest claim to any
duty at all, is-well, l will not call it
wrong, because it is failing that leans
to virtues side, but4it is simply silly.

Suggestions to Dairymen.

WE, as manufacturers, want the full
and hearty cooperation of every dairy
man in endeavoring to get the best pos
sible results from his milk with the
least percentage of loss. Good cows,
well fed and we'll watered, will produce
good milk. Well watered means plenty
of good, healthy water, from a running
stream or good well. 1t is notorious
fact that poor water-or water from
stagnant pools-is the cause of more
taint in milk in the summer time than
any thing else. Salt, regularly given,
adds to the quantity as well as the quail
ity of milk. If it be possible, let your
cows have access to plenty of shade
during the hot days of summer, for
many a can of milk is spoiled by single
pail-full drawn from COW in an over
heated condition. Do not hurry your
cows. Do not allow your men to beat
them, nor dogs to worry them. They
will give more and better milk for the
kindness bestowed ON them. When
your men come to milk, insist that they
clean the bag and teats with water, if
they need it, and then dry them before
milking; and, for heavens sake, don't
allow them to drain the dirty mixture
into the pail. Look to it that every
pail, every strainer, every can, is
washed in cold water first, and then
most thoroughly with hot water,
drained and allowed to get the SUMS
rays upon them, if possible, for there is
is no purifier like good, pure air and
bright sun.
Every dairy farmer should be pro-
vided with a good milk house, situated
at good distance from the COW stable,
so that it may be free from the disa-
greeable odors that milk is always sure
to absorb if left all night in the COW
stable. II You have not running water
in the milk-house, provide yourself with
a good windmill pump. AS soon as
the milk is drawn, carry it at OEce to
the milk. house Have the water about
your cans changed several times, and
the milk stirred to prevent cream rails
ing, until it is cooled to about sixty de-
grees for the nights milk and siXty-five
degrees for the mornings. During all
this time be sure and leave the can
covers off, to allow the animal heat to
escape. Do not mix your mornings
and nights milk, but place them in
can altogether. Carry to the factory as
soon after milking as it is cooled to the
proper temperature, using, if possible,
a spring wagon, to prevent too great
churning of the milk on rough roads.
Always cover your cans with blanket
to protect the milk from the sun in
summer aud from the cold in winter

THE DAIRY.

A DECEPTION successfully practiced
on number Of farmers is known as the
"butter contract" A couple OF we'll
dressed fellows drive up to the house of
the expected victim and make an en-
gagement with him to take all his but
ter for year at high price. A writ
ten agreement is then made and in due
time the contract" is returned in the
form of note held by third party,
which the farmer is obliged TO pay.
REPLYING to the question, "where
shall those who have no ice keep cream
and butter this warm weather." cor
respondent of the New York Tribune
says: "Those who have wells in which
the oaken bucket yet swings can sus-
pend the can or pail therein. We have
a spring in the cold water of which we
submerge cans two feet long containing
sweet milk. The cream rises in twelve
hours and never sours therein Our
butter is firm, golden and of fine text
ure, whereas before we resorted to this
method our butter was inferior during
the heated terms. If butter or milk is
kept in the cellar the walls should be
whitewashed and the floor covered with
several inches of sand, after thorough
clearance of rubbish-old pork barrels,
moldy boxes, etc.
PLEURO PNEUMONIA. - The first
symptoms of pleuro-pneumoni are
general dullness, hanging of the head,
running at the mouth, nose and eyes,
redness of the eyes and slight cough.
Next the milk shrinks suddenly, aud
cough becomes deeper and hollow, the
animal breathes rapidly and with short
jerky eXpirations, the breath is hot, the
coat becomes rough, the back arched,
and the appetite fails. The disease
never appears spontaneously, but al
ways by infection, and the stage of
incubation is usually less than thirty
days, but may extend to ninety days.
There is no cure, and the only preven-
ton is the immediate slaughtering of
the sick cattle. This is the cheapest,
as recovered animal--and recovery is
very rare--coSts more to restore it than
it is worth, leaving out of consideration
the danger of Injection.
A woULD-BE wise correspondent of
one of our city contemporaries, in Civ.
ing advice about raising milch cows,
says: -" 1t spOils heifer to let the calf
run with her." and he also advocates
taking The calf away from its mother
Immediately and never allowing it to
suck. 1t is pity that these wiseacres
could not discover some way of raising
calves without having cows at all, for,
according to their theories, Nature does
not understand the business she has
undertaken, and it is all wrong 10 al
low the offspring to obtain food as the
Creator intended Under such man.
agement as they advocate, it is no Won
der that we hear so much about COWS
having garget or caked udder, of calves
ailments. No calf should be taken
from its mother or weaned until it is
two weeks old, and four weeks is still
better for the health and good of both
mother and offspring.-M Y SIN.

Butter Packages.


WE see frequent statements of losses
on butter in consequence of discolora-
tion flom the package. Dairymen
should not trust to oak packages, since
a single stave from the sapwork of
white oak will stain the butter so as to
reduce the price ON the whole tub. And
then the manufacturers are so unskilled
in detecting the different kinds of oak,
that red or black oak is often sold for
white oak, and, when this is the case,
the butter is ruined by dirty, inky
color from the package. There is no
safety in using any wood that can give
out black ccloring matter. White
ash, although a slightly more porous
timber than white oak, never stains,
and is much safer TO use. Sugar maple
is also a sweet, colorless timber for but
ter packages, and spruce has been
found to work we'll. But all these tim
bers should be seasoned by steam under
some pressure which forces out the sap
and renders the albumen insoluble.
Thorough steaming would greatly inn
prove oak and remove what is soluble
The timber, after such steaming and
drying, is not liable to swell and shrink
to the same extent as when seasoned in
air. We are sadly in want of COM
plete butter package that shall have
none of these drawbacks. The damage
to butter from discoloration alone
amounts, probably, to quarter million
dollars per annum. 49, National LiUe

Why We Brag.

This is a time when, as Americans,
we feel like doing a little boasting. One
hundred and four years ago, when we
declared ourselves to be free and in
dependent people, our population was
less than three millions. To-day, ac-
cording to General Walkers rough es-
innate, it is $4,000, 600. Boston was
then an insignificant village, so far as
population was concerned, and New
England had but a few scattering
schools and two colleges. The entire
country had but thirty-seven news
papers and the best of them were not
equal to the worst weeklies printed to-
day in the mushroom towns of the
Rocky Mountain region. In 1889 we
had but seventy-tive postollices and the
mails were carried on horseback over
1900 miles of road, at an expense of
$32, 900 per year. To-day we have 33, 900
pOstoffices-and new ones are being es-
tablished daily-and the mails are car
ried over 265, 600 miles of post-roads, at
an annual expense of S29, 100000. We
have nearly quarter of million miles
of telegraph wire. We have 141, ,629
school-houses, 63, ,082 churches, 1872 daily
newspapers anu OFcI J,uOO peIIOulCdlS
of all kinds. Our farms are valued at
not less than SO, 262, S03, Sol, our farm
ing implements at 1886, S7S, 1913, and our
livestock at 81, 1925, ,276, ,437. Our farm
products in a single year have brought
us 81, 447, ,53S, 658 and in the same time
we have paid in farm wages S310, 1885,
2S5. Our crops are bOuntiful-yes,
enormous-and our exports have
reached nearly S475, 100000 in a
twelve-month. Our manufactures are
prosperous. In cotton goods we chal-
lenge the world. In one year our 900
mills turned out cloth enough to encircle
the earth twenty times if made into one
piece, with still enough left to make
every human suit of clothes and fur
nish each with pieces for patching

Women Lawyers.

NOT every lady and gentleman who
has this season applauded Miss Terry's
Portia is aware that, about the date
when the Merchant of Venice" may
be supposed to have exhibited his
gabardine on the Rialto, there actually
existed great female lawyers in the
neighboring city of Bologna. Prof.
Calderini, who held the Chair of Juris-
prudence in that University in 1860,
and Prof. Novella, who occupied it in
1866, were not only celebrated for their
legal lore and skill, but if we may trust
their portraits, exceedingly beautiful
women, with noble Greek profiles,
dressed in style which Miss Terry
might have copied without disadvan-
tage. If women hereafter should again
obtain entrance into the legal pro-
fession, it is not at all improbable that
we may see something more of the keen
ness OF feminine wits engaged in olsen
tangling the knots of the law. Two
ladies in Ireland, according to the
Times Dublin correspondent, have just
been conducting their own most intri-
cate cases in manner which excited
the surprise of the Master of the Rolls,
who even observed that he was "aston-
ished that the ladies had been able to
put their case on paper SO intelligently
and clearly without legal advice" If
other ladies should follow the example
of the Misses Fogarty, what a falling
off must ensue in solicitors bills. They
lost their case. it is true, but seemingly
could not have won it under any guild
ance; and at all events they have es-
capped that great aggravation of the
misery of defeat in a court of law--the
lawyers costs. Pail Mall Gazette.
