CHEAP FooD.-Eggs are usually es-
teemed expensive diet-in fact luxury
which only the rich or well to do can at,
ford to use. But it is a mistake when
We consider their food value their
nourishing qualities. Eggs, like milk
contain every element necessary for the
development of the perfect animal. This
is proved by the fact that bones, muscles,
blood, feathers everything in fact that
make the fully formed chickens is con
tanned in the yolk and white of an egg.
Indeed. there is no more concentrated or
nourishing food than eggs. The albumen,
oil and saline matter are just in the right
proportion for sustaining animal life
1t, therefore. We eat to obtain strength,
we will find that two or three eggs pro
perly cooked will afford more nou ish-
ment than piece of meat of equal mar
ket value. When we come to compai e
the cost of producing eggs and pork we
find it costs nearly twice as much to pro-
duce pound of pork as it does a pound
of eggs, and taking into account the
nutritive value of each and the compara-
tive prices of the two on an average. the
pork is three times as costly a food as
eggs, and certainly much less wholesome.

At Athens, Saturday, on their journey
through Ohio, there were number of es-
capes from serious accidents for the Blaine
party. One of the carriages which was occu-
pied by Walker Blaine and some friends was
overturned and partly kicked TO pieces by
Infatuated horses, crazed by the excitement
and noise of the reception. Three wagons in
the receiving line were overturned at this
point. but no one was hurt. Athens was
marked by a number of accidents. The plat
form upon which Mr.. Blaine stood on the
lawn soon after his speech, and, while he was
vet on it, fell while Judge Tenney was speak
ing. This might have resulted seriously, but
the stand was not high. Mr.. Blaine fell under
several of the gentlemen who were on the
stage. He was one of the first TO rise. He
was upon his feet so quickly that there was
no panic. He exclaimed as he came up,
THAT there was still enough left of the re-
publican platform to stand upon
