ARTIFICIAL EGGS.


 Artificial eggs are sold in the eastern states. Some time ago, chemist, after aDalyzing an egg, took up the idea that this very necessary barn-yard product could be manufactured at less expense than by the old-fasioned way, and after considerable labor and scientific inves,i- gaiion, he made an egg machine. The yolk was made of a composition identical with the genuine article, and placed in tank. The white was also made of composition no: to be detected from the real hen product. The yolk was rolled into little ball and frozen. Then it re- ceived thick white coating. which was also frozen. After this ii was made oval in shape, and then ii went into machine which put thin skin on ii, after which II was put into the sheller, soon coming out so nearly like an egg tha, hen herself could not have detected the imitation. After receiving the shell. the egg was placed in pan where |, was allowed to ihaw. The experiment was so sa,isfae- tory that the professor enlarged his facil- i,es and began the manufacture of eggs as a business. In an interview with New York reporter, the professor de- clared that he could not supply the de mand. Why sir,' he declared. my eggs are always fresh. Dealers who have discovered that ;he eggs are manufae- ,ured, increased their orders. affirming that they were the only eggs ,ha; would sell during the hot weather
 This is indeed wonderful age when men can make hen feel ashamed of herself. The hen has held an important position for many years, but science says she mus, go. There is no longer any work for her to perform, fact which the fol- lowing dispatch from New York clearly demonstrates The chemists, naturalists and all kinds of scientists are greatly ex- cited Tn view of the discovery that the artificial eggs manufactured here will hatch. Several weeks age, the professor ei inc eggry placed several dozen machine eggs into an incubator. He watched the result very anNiously. not knowing of course that his chemical analysis had been reduced ,o point absolutely per feet. He did not long remain in doubt. for the shells soon began to break. Then his excitement knew no bounds. for he was not certain. The next day. ou, came the chickens. ust as perfect as could be-
 If this be true, and we have no means of proving i, otherwise, the hens mission has been accomplished. ard like a good and faithful servant she may rest in that contentment which comes to us all when we believe that we have discharged our duty. The artificial egg is no, likely to become popular in the west. for as il never spells, |; will prove inadequate 10 the demands of tired audience. However, the eggs that the faithful old hen has lief, on hand can be reserved for this purpose. If ar tiheial egg which are always fresh and scented with delicate perfume were 10 become popular in Arkansaw. the Honor able Paul Bagley would be robbed of an adornment and would not. after certain efforts in the lecture field, be able to seek seclusion which no man with healthy nose would care to invade. The Honora- ble Paul Bagley came down the Little Rock and Fort Smith railway once with sun flowers and lilies painted all over his clothes, while on his hat. where a goose egg had halted, there stood out picture of Oscar Wilde. The eggs that were used on this occasion were genuine. Nothing but an old dominioker hen and an old gray goose could have produced them.
