Egg-Candling.

An odd trade is that of the egg-can.
dler. One having been advertised for a
few days ago, a Tribune reporter to
whom the word "candler" was full
of mystery, took the liberty of calling
upon the advertiser for an explanation.
Thither the reporter went, and in the
shadow of a huge bank of egg-cases on
the sidewalk discovered a passage-way
labeled Butter" which led into the
basement of the building designated.
Entering, the reporter found himself in
small apartment, which may be truth
fully said to be the fullest apartment he
ever entered. The space occupied by
two young men, and innumerable ego
cases, was filled with stencil so thick
that the reporter felt like cutting off a
chunk OF it and bearing it away as a
trophy. But as nothing save "hen-
fruit" was visible. he was constrained
instead to inquire if poultry-cholera
was prevalent just at present. One of
the young men tumbled off the pile of
cases on which he was reclining, and
after rolling over the floor with laughter
two or three times, arose and said,
quietly: mo; l guess the hens are
all we'll" After few words of ex-
PLANTATION as TO the nature of the call,
the young man kindly consented to
give an exhibition of egg-candling, and
led the way. Going up to dirty.look-
ing patch on the wall, he drew aside an
old gray army blanket, disclosing a
lighted interior beyond. He real
lied the effect, for he stopped
long enough on the threshold to
say: "Ohl come in. This amt no trap;
it's the candling-room." The apart
ment was found to be about seven by
three feet, and upon q bench at one
end were three open ege-cases. A
small metallic oil-lamp was attached by
a wooden fixture to the farther end of
the middle box. This furnished the
only light in the room. The GAMBLER
walked up to the bench with watch
me-juggle-them air, and. turning back
his shirt-sleeves, plunged both hands
into the middle box, and suddenly
brought forth four chicken-buds. .
With the thumb and fore-fnger of each
hand the uppermost eggs were caught
