4 UNIQUE STUDY ~ VIr1L FORCE.

Neither the egg nor the chicken is what it
used to he. The egg in its pdSS6 state was for
years one of the fayorte arguments employed
against the aDti-slavery movement. To-day
finds It, comparatively speak. k.ng, out OF politics
and serving n more creditable il a less obtru-
sve purpose. And just so the progress Of
events has eliminated the fu1ctiuus Of the hen.
Before the war hers was the form which a
Terrible Temptation commonly took when 1t
had designs upon the Southern negro. But long
ago il came to pass that lac could get past IL
hen-roost in the dark of the moon as readily as
the rest of his fellows Shorn of her power for
evil, the hen is cOntentod proudly TO boast, in
the language Of Wordsworth, that sho is mot
too good for human natures daily food" aud we
doubt not is happier than she was when she ex-
crted great but malisn power over Il section
Of the race OF man.
II remained for n writer in The Country Cen
Heman to invade the retirement OF the egg and
the chicken, and to place them once again in tho
glare of that fierce white light that beats upon
subjects which get into the newspapers. This
writer discusses the question: How much vital
force does hen consume in Matching m egg z
We guarantee that there Is no merely mortal
man in the United States that can answer this
question ofl-hand. Of course, Professor Sum
ner, Of Yale College, can. The proceedings
of the American Association for the Advance
ment Of Science MAKE no mention OF it, nor, 80
far rs we arc aware, has it ever walked to &C.
stacy the miscellaneous muse OF Walt WHIT
man. And yet, now that the question Is asked
everybody will be impressed with its interest
and importance and fall to wondering why it
did not come TO the forefront of discussion long
ago. with The tariff the open Polar sca, the coedu-
cation of the sexes, the limit OF consecutive
quail-catng aud other of humanity's leading
problems. 1t has frequently been suspected
that too many hens have been addicted to the
consumption of an nordinate amount of vital
force in Matching eggs. On no other plausible
theory can the presence of SO many tough hens
in the market be accounted for. OF course, the
ouly sensible way to check tina waste, and thus
prevent hens from undermining their consttu-
tions, is to determine precisely what amount of
force goes to Matching, and then hit upon some
scheme to prevent hens from expendng more
than the determined amount. 1t ought not to
be difficult to mature such u scheme. A modi-
fcatiOn of the current bell-punch, so arranged
that it would ring just as soon as the hen had
reached the force limit, would appear to be tho
thing. OF course, 1t would be the duty of the
man who owned the poultry yard just as soon
as he heard the bell ring to walk up to the hen
and request her firmly but kindly to contribute
no more of her vital force to the business in
hand. If tho hen declined to obey after being
reasoned with. the nan might find il necessary
to fling patent incubator at her. After the in
cubator had mangled ten or dozen hens be-

The report that Prince Bismarck will not
eubmit bill for the revision of the May laws
to the Prussian Legislature indicates that he
has no hope at present of arriving at a way
of living pleasantly with the Vatican. At first
glance it seems as if this result would be a
great disappointment to all Prussian Catholics.
Their spiritual destitution certainly will not
be relieved. But while the truly devOut may
lament, the Clericals, the Catholic politicians,
probably are not more than half sorry at the
way matters have turned out. They cannot
attack Bismarck when he violates liberal prin-
ciples, for they do not believe in political lib
,erality themselves. They have objects of their
own, however, which may be advanced by
shrewd diplomacy with Bismarck, and the
ecclesiastical laws always offer them points of
attack by which they can make themselves
felt. Destroy their grievances, and their
power would be sadly reduced.

New York World.l
ON the 18th of February last the charters
Of about three hundred national banks cX-
Tired, and the new bills for circulation
were dated the date Of the expiration Of
nieir charters. which fell on sunday.
Yesterday Mr.. Dudley Z. Ely. the pre>i-
dent of the First National Bank OF
South Norwalk. Ct, entered the IIorlf
Office. and. showing q s. bill OF the
issue of that bank, said: "This bill WAS
Issued on a SUNDAY, and | want to know
what the law is regarding it. The fact Is
that no one in the bank thought Of the 18th
instant falling on a sunday, and The way
we discovered il was by a wOrkinS-girl,
who had been pad in bills Of cur issue,
entering the bank and saying: Please,
sir. are these good? They were issued on 2
Sunday. and ] believe note made on sun

ask the UOrld.'

Mr.. james Il. Cunning, Of the firm OF

made a contract on Sundaya as defence for
violation Of IT, There is no Federal law
treating on such a point, though old laws
i'm various States made the drawing up OF

thing else except church-going Illegal
ON lie sabbath. In my opinion the
SUNDAY laws made no especial reference to
contracts, save when II was embraced in
the clause relating 10 the conduct OF buSi-
ness or scryilc labor. No bank could AZ
ford to set up the claim Of non-yaidity OF
note or bill drawn or Issued on Sunday,

cal action by the illegal action itself"
