Eggs from Germany.

Eggs have been very high in the New
York market. At one time within few
weeks they sold at 4S cents per dozen
wholesale. Thousands of dozens arrive
by the German steamers. A dealer said :
"The German eggs are lined, but the
German process is better than the Ameri-
can. Here bushel of lime is Stacked
with eight or nine pals of water: the
water is drawn off, and the eggs are
packed in it. The lime water closes the
pores in the shell and excludes the air.
The eggs will then keep two or three
years. But the white of the egg gets
watery; and, besides that, the liners do
not pickle the eggs until they are afraid
that they will spoil. Ont of 1000 bar
rels of lined eggs received in New York
only 200 will be gilt edged. The Ger
man process leaves the white in such a
natural condition that the imported eggs
are frequently sold in New York as fresh
ones Oy retailers. The only thing to
prevent it is the fact that these pre-
served eggs cannot be boiled. They
crack open every time, of course. In
every other respect they are as good as
nine-tenths of the fresh eggs Sold"
"How much duty do you pay on
them ?"
"The American hen is wholly unpro-
tected from the pauper labor of the Ger
mans. There is q movement on foot
though, to get duty on eggs, which
will, perhaps, enable MS to charge sew
eral cents more q dozen under extreme
circumstances"

Only a Small Ball. -

A good many people, without really
feeling any special animosity to boys,
like to see their exuberance meet a check,
now and then. Such persons would
have achieved some measure of satisfac
ton a few days ago, if they had OBJ
served an incident that occurred on one
of the streets on the Back Bay. A party
of girls, each about a dozen years of
age, were proceeding quietly home from
school, when one of group of boys, of
about the same age, ''fred" 1t SNOWFALL
from the opposite side of the street, and
struck member of the first party
plumply in the ear. His merriment at
the accomplishment of this feat was vio-
lent but short lived, for the girl who had
been smitten by the missile handed her
books to companion, and came flying
over the street after him with eyes
afame. The boy, perceiving this per-
sonifed vengeance bearing down upon
him, incontinently fled, but, being in
numbered by rubber boots, he was soon
overhauled and captured. A vigorous
"wrastle" at once ensued, and shortly
the youth, although using his best en-
deavors, found himself upon his back,
with snow in his ears aud down his
neck, and his face tingling from several
vigorous slaps. As soon as he was al
lowed to get up he rushed upon the girl
in a rage, but was deity caught by the
leg, aud again upset and treated to an
onther dose of the same medicine. This
time he was content to accept the situa-
ton, whereupon his punisher walked
calmly away, without having started her
pulse a single beat by the excitement of
the incident. Journal.

They All Knew How.

I took large spider from his web
under the basement of mill, put him op
a chip and set him afoat on the quiet
waters of the pond. He walked all about
on the sides of his bark, surveying the
situation very carefully, and when the
fact that he was really afoat and about
yard from shore seemed to be fully COM
pretended, he prospected for the nearest
point of land. This point fairly settled
upon, he Immediately began to cast a
web for it. He threw it as far rs possible
in the air and with the wind. 1t soon
reached the shore, and made fast to the
spires of grass. Then he turned himself
about and in true sailor fashion began to
haul in hand over hand on his cable.
Carefully he drew upon it until his bark
began to move toward the shore. AS it
moved the faster he the faster drew upon
it to keep his hawser taut and from
touching the water. Very soon he reached
the shore, and quickly leaping to terra
firma he sped his way homeward Think
ing then that he might be a special ex-
pert, and an exception in that line of
workmanship to the rest of his compan-
ions, l tried several of them, and they
all came to shore in like manner.

REYIYING IN HER COFFIN.

The town of Warren, Ohio, is greatly.
excited over sensation of the saddest
nature. Miss Kitty Gilmour, an attrac-
tive girl, of New Lisbon, daughter OF
DIR. Gilmour, well known throughout
that part of Ohio, died suddenly on Mon
day. after six hours illness. The physi-
clans said that she had hemorrhage of
the bowels. She was favorite In So
ciecty. and her death was so sudden
that the community was shocked. The
body was taken to Warren for inter-
ment. and was placed in public vault
to be buried. Thursday afternoon, un-
dertaker Townsend went into the vault
with several attendants of the cemetery,
to get another body for burial, and was
Mortified to find evidences of breath on
Miss Gilmour's coffin, and that her face
looked flushed and lifelike. Townsend
Jumped into buggy and drove at
breakneck pace to town for hearse.
The body was then driven to Dr. Nell
sons house, he being an uncle OF the
girl. She was taken out and laid on a
bed. Other physicians were summoned,
the body was surrounded with bottles OF
hot water, and electric batteries were
started. The doctors worked on her for
hours. Her face was flushed, her lips
red. and her body pliable; and to every
appearance the beautiful girl was sleep
;na Friends surrounded the bed, and
medical science did its utmost to save
life. The physicians state that they
never saw such case. They failed,
however, to restore life, although they
believe the girl was not dead when
placed in the vault.

An English Girl in Canada.

There are two sorts of beauty among
the girls of Canada, says a newspaper
correspondent, as there are two kinds of
girls the English Canadian and the
French Canadian. The English Can
adams are beautiful rather than pretty.
The French girls are captiyatingly pretty.
The English girl is tall and strongly
built. She walks with her figure rigidly

pride. Her cheeks are like the sides of
a peach that has just begun to ripen.
The rose blush blends with the pink,
that is in turn lost in the general creamy
tint of the whole face. Waves of haxen
or light-brown hair curtain her forehead,
or perhaps her hair is pulled into
cloud that projects beyond her sealskln
cap. She has big deep-blue eyes,
eloquent of good health and good ma
ture, and blazing at touch of excite

of good health, and the equal of her
brothers at the dinner table. Her nose
and mouth are not too fashionably
small. They match her fine stature, and
the healthy, graceful carriage that tell
of stout limbs and developed muscles.

Misplaced Charity.

A lady living in the northern part of
this city had her attention directed
to case of charity the other day which
made her heartstrings vibrate. There
was sick woman and two ragged and
hungry children in the house, while the
in search of any sort of work which
would earn them bread. The charitable
lady m made trip among her neighbors
and collected food and clothing, and
after spending an hour or two with the
sick lady she left dollar in cash to buy
medicines. When she had done this
she went home with a glad heart, but
later in the day as she was obliged to
pass the house again she saw the dis
couraged husband ON the steps. He
had just returned from long tramp and
as usual had found no work. The lady
was about to accost him when he called
to boy on the opposite side and asked:
"Say, sonny, how much to clean the
snow off my walk p
"Oh, about thirty cents"
"I'll give you quarter.
"Well, 1 guess I'll do it.
The man entered the house and took
twenty five cents of the very money left
with his wife to pay for the work, and
the lady walked on without any re-
marks. The remarks were made after
she got home.-DetrOit Free Press.

A Jesse James Gang Broken Up.

A long series of robberies in Penn
sylvania city eliminated some time ago
in the burglary of a house, and from
which large amount of plate and family
Jewels were carried away. The Leading
citizens employed detective, and de-
scent was made upon the thieves, none
of whom are over twenty and all OF
whom are disciples of Jesse James.
There were twelve or fourteen of them,
all sons of some of the leading citizens,
and members of the high school. They
had hut, under which cellar had been
dug feet deep and the sides lined with
boards. In this cellar were found tools
of all kinds, locks, keys, playing cards,
checkers, checker boards, dime novels
and literature of the Observation-Disclosures
style. A large quantity of articles had
been removed few minutes previously
by some of the gang, they having heard
in some way that the police were COM
ing. Investigations proved that the
gang met quite frequently and had a
regular oath-bound organization. Before
entering the bands the candidate was
balloted for, and if elected was initiated.
The applicant was then partly stripped
and tied up against the underground
wall and made to swear not to reveal any
of the secrets, passwords, etc, under
certain penalty. In this position the ap-
plicant was kept for one hour, while the
rest kept up series of tortures.

Bookkeeping on the Farm.

1t is a maxim among the Dutch that
=" no one is ever ruined who keeps good
accounts" While we may not entirely
| agree with this there is nothing more
Certain than that carefully kept account
will materially aid one to stop financial
leaks. which in the end might lead to
great difficulty, if not to bankruptcy.
There is certainly much difficulty in
keeping accurate accounts respecting the
profit and loss of SO uncertain and COM
pllcated business as farming; but it is
easy to keep a record of money received
and paid out, and even this is not done
by many. In regard to the expenses of
farm, an account of them is perfectly
practicable, and ought to be regularly
recorded. By examining these, farmer
is enabled to ascertain the nature and ex-
tent of the expense he has incurred in the
various operations of agriculture, and to
discover what particular measures or
what general system contributes to profit
or occasions loss. To record pecuniary
attended to in the accounts of farmer.
1t is necessary to have an annual account
of the live stock, and their value; of the
quantity of hay, grain or other produce
on hand; of the value of implements and
all other property in which capital is in
vested. An account should be opened
with each field, charging to it the amount
expended on it, and giving it credit for
crop returned. OF course such accounts
cannot be kept with perfect accuracy. If
acertain amount of fertilizer, for instance,
is put on field, and it is charged against
it as expense, it will be proper to credit
the field with the unexpended fertiliza-
ton after the crop is removed-that is,
to estimate of how much more value the
field is than it was before the account
with it commenced. This requires good
Judgment, but the proper conclusions
can be arrived at very nearly if the work
is undertaken with determination to do
it as we'll as may be.
In no other way can a farmer make
even reasonable calculation as to what
crops are best for him to raise than by
keeping accounts with each one. There
will be differences in different years, de-
pending on the amount of heat, moisture,
etc. All these things must be considered.
The experience of one year in agricul-
ture is not to be considered conclusive,
any more than with a merchant or
manufacturer.
Some may say it takes too much time.
So say some in other departments of
business, and they make failures in con-
sequence. But it will not take so much
time, after ALL as one thinks. The cal
culations will mostly be made while en-
gagged at ordinary labor, for the thoughts
do not always follow the pIow or the
hoe, and to make the entries is all that
will be left to be done.
Such accounts should always be opened
with stock, charging their first cost, and
cost of care and feeding, and giving credit
for whatever is produced, be it 1abor,
milk, wool, or increase in number or !
value.
