A Very Good Egg Story.

Last April parties from Paterson
rented building on Broad street in this
city. They began manufacturing
business, and evidently did a lively
trade, Barrels and boxes were shipped
daily to New York. They employed a
score or more of Workmen, who were
reticent when questioned about their
work. went into the place the other
day to solicit an advertisement for the
Sunday Call I found the proprietor
an educated and refined gentleman. He
invited me into his office, and l ques-
toned him about his business.
''Well," he replied, after moments
hesitation, Il can't say that we wish to
advertise, nor, in fact, to have our bust
ness known; but as it will probably all
leak out before long, I may as well tell
you. We are making artificial eggs by
process of my own, on which I have but
recently received my patents. Look in
the other room. All the eggs you see
there are made in this place. Here is
one. Let me break itopen." He broke
it open, and showed me what appeared
to be the inside of a real egg. ''Oh, it's
a fact"
''Do you mean to say that you made
that egg without the assistance of a
hemp asked.
"Yes," he replied, ''and if you wish 1
will show you something of our process.
Gomez
He led me through the room in which
there were stored boxes upon boxes of
eggs, and into another large, cool room
in the rear. Everything was clean and
neat. Several strange-looking wooden
machines, totally unlike anything had
ever seen, stood in different parts of the
room. Six or seven men were oper-
ating the machinery, which moved
noiselessly and with great rapidity. l
followed my conductor to one end of the
apartment where there were three large
tanks or watts. One was filled wit a yell
low compound, the second with a
starchy mixture, and the other was COW
cred. Pointing to these the proprietor
said: s'These contain the yOlk mixture
and the white of egg. We empty the
vats every day, so you can judge Of the
extent of the business already. Let me
show you one of the machines. You see
they are divided into different boxes or
receptacles. The first and second are
the yolk and white. The next is what
we term the skin" machine, and the
last one is the shelter, with drying trays.
This process is the result of many years
of experience and expense. first con-
ceived the idea after making chemical
ANALYSIS of an egg. After long time l
succeed in making q good imitation Of
an egg. l then tured my attention to
making the machinery, and the result
you see for yourself. OF course it would
not be policy for me to explain all the
mechanism, but I'll give YOU an idea Of
the process. Into the first machine is
put the yolk mixture"
stWhat is that?'' / asked.
'sWell, it's a mixture of Indian meal,
corn starch. and several other ingredi-
ents. 1t is poured into the opening IN a
thick, mushy state, and is formed by the
machine into a ball and frozen In this
condition it passes into the other box.

ssOleO0 Ice.Cream.

This is the latest thing out in the way
of adulteration of food from tallow,
which was once the humble article of
commerce used in the manufacture of
candles, soap and wagon grease. Its
first elevation to the peerage of human
food was to our hotels in the shape of
cline Orange County butter" which
made the Jersey heifer blush for shame.
Next it turned up as competitor of the
American hog, having driven the an
cient and honorable cow into the soil
tude of the rural cheese factory, when
we had ''prime steam" ''prime KETTLE"
and ''pure refned'' lard, all made with
''Oleo" But this last is the greatest
leap of all, as it has reached the top
round of the ladder of human delecta-
ton as well as Of exclusiVeness. There
is only one more ''raise" possible for it,
and that is not in the human category
of progress or enterprise. 1t may yet
become so refined and elevated as to be
used as CANCELS food" Having thus
passed from the human to the divine
sphere of use and nOurishment, it may
eventually become a delicacy of the
gods; and when Juno wants to get the
right side of Jove, she will invite him to
sip of ''oleo" ices washed down with
''oleo'' nectar.
Our readers may imagine this is all
joke; but we are in earnest, we assure
you; we are assured by a gentleman in
the ''oleo'' trade that ice-cream is now
actually made of ''Oleo." What desc
Grafton! What destruction of all the
fond memories, the poetry, the romance
and the sweetness of the nice young
mans first dream of love! No more can
4 lzoH DrHIn nd a+ na
same time get square meal for himself
for twenty-five cents Those halcyon
DAYS are past. The rude hand of science
is destroying the great American elixir
of this life, ice-cream, with all the fond
hopes and the freshness of life which
hover like sainted memories about its
sacred name, as it is undermining the
solace of the future life-theology. Thus
disappear our old landmarks of love
and religion, one after another, in such
rapid succession, that before long
science will deprive us of all knoWl-
edge of what we eat to support the life
of the body, as it seeks to deprive us of
all knowledge of what will perpetuate
the life of the soul, while the poor. young
lovers are left suspended between heaven
and earth-as Pope would say-tOO
ETHEREAL for the one, too hungry for the
other, and no half way ''ice-cream sa-
,loon'' where they can quench their phys
zeal and spiritual thirst and hunger,
and look deep into each others liquid
eyes until they should see their love re-
fiected in those mirrors of the soul.
Give us Tantalus' fate rather than theirs.
Without ice-cream life would be bur-
den to a large class of our population,
and suicides viii rapidly increase. Either
this must be, and ice-cream prohibited
by law, or hereafter we must take our
chances of getting our soap, candles
and ice-cream served up at the same
abolish the saloon, buy freezer, tkae
our girls down In the cellar, and, while
two souls shall beat as one, make our
own ice-cream.- Dairy.

He testified that he frequently drove the
Carey family around Port Elizabeth, and
they ought to know Kim. When Mrs.
Carey and her son denied it, he was panic
stricken. He once said to Tom Carey
at Port Elizabeth: 'You are q fine
fellow. Why didn't you shoot
O'Donnell when he shot your father" Tom
answered.: II had no revolver. l went to

this to other cab drivers. The cross exam
ination did not materially change his testi-
mony. No other witnesses were called for
the desense and Russell began his address
to the jury. Russell spoke four hours and
upon concluding was loudly applauded by
the crowd. The judge sternly repressed the
applause. Attorney General James closed
the case for the government in a. speech
lasting one hour and half.

There were 5,734 applications for patents and
trade marks and 22.686 we're granted.
In the matter of education the recommendation
made is IS follows: In many of the States the
school system is only lacking in efficiency on ac-
count of the lack Of funds to support the schools
provided for. In such cases it is believed that
liberal appropriation by the general government
would stimulate the State system that the states
could be ultimately left to carry on the work with
out government aid.

statement showing the condition OF the sinking

The Georgia Supreme Court has just
rendered decision which is of wide in
terest. The railroad managers in that
state make their men sign what is called
"a death warrant" by which they agree
to take all the risks of their occupation,
and not try to hold their employers liza
BILE for any injury they may sustain re-
sulting from either their own careless
ness Or any other cause. To make the
contract more binding, the mans wife,
when he has one, is required to sign an
agreement that she will not sue for dam
ages in case of accident to her husband.
The widow of brakeman who was
killed, nevertheless brought suit and
was awarded $1,000 by jury. The case
was carried to the Supreme Court, which
has sustained this decision, taking the
obviously just ground that. while an en-
ployee might waive his right to sue for
injuries not arising from criminal negli-
gence, the waiver IN cases where there
was such negligence would be contrary
to public policy and void.

A disastrous aud destructive confagra-

Ocala, Fla. The fire originated the 10Th
from the over-turning Of q kerosene lamp

wrapped in flames, which were ca ried by
the fierce prevailing wind to BENZ. Snow

vate hotel. At tLis point the flames reach

ing without injury. Shortly after this the
whole city was in flames Agrews fine
hotel and it is impossible at this time to
estimate the losses, but they are between
$500, 600 and $500, 900. Many of the build
ings were not insured. The greatest loss is
among persons of moderate means.

criminal investigations, declares that the

nearly 700 square miles, covered by mere
than 100000 houses, and inhabited by
nearly 5000, 900 persons. is the safest cap
ital for life and property in the world. A
summary of the report in the London

fclally in rendering to justice continent
