What Is Done with Bad ESIa
TPhilade1phia Racorfl

Aged eggs are divided up among tanners
morocco-dressers, confectioners, and fine pa
per-makers The tanners take the yolk, anc
never question the freshness of the product
the confectioners and paper men are eager
for the foaming white. Vast quantities ol
the yolks are used, and only recently has Il
been possible for the leather men to obtain
them in quantities. Twelve years ago the
morocco and kid men were compelled to
crack their own eggs, and the whits was
thrown away. Nicholas Liebeck conceived
the idea of supplying them, and using the
rest for the purposes named above. The
yolks are mixed with -four and salt, and q
dough is made. This is used for sizing and
dressing.
Liebeck was followed in business By Metz
Ter, and these are believed to be the only two in
this city, although there are dozen in New
York, some Of whom have lucrative and ex
tensive trades. It is impossible to use ma
chinery in breaking eggs on account Of the
care that is to be exercised The yolks are
carefully separated from the white. Folk,
who are fond Of good things from the con.
fectioners should bear in mind that only the
most recent Of egg-products are sold to them.
At least that is the supposition. The paper
men are not so particular regarding age
The white which they secure must be clean, fol-
If single streak Of yolk should creep in, then
when the paper is sized j. will have yellow
ish streak through it These parts of the
eggs are disposed of by the gallon at nominal
figures, and the egg men are familiar to most
Of the dealers. Just what prices are Oh
tanned the men refuse to state.

Queer Little Oranges.
New York Sun.1

Very red little oranges, tomato
shaped, with shiny skin, and done up
in colored tissue paper, can be found
this winter in every fruit store and on
many stands. They are mandarin and
Tangierine oranges, from Florida. The
two varieties are 80 nearly alike in
looks and taste that persons unaccus-
toned to them con not always tell
which is which. The mandarins came
originally from China, and the Tangier-
ines: from the country whose name
they bear. In Florida they are called
"kid-glove oranges" because, it is said,
lad es can peel and eat them without
soiling their gloves. Between the skin
and the pulp is loose layer of fibers,
which is easily separated from the
pulp. The skin has only to be broken,
when it can be taken off dry and in one
piece. In taste they are very different
from other oranges of good quality. In
stead of the spicy flavor that ic dis
tinguishable in ripe and fresh Indian
river oranges. there is in the mandarins
und Tangierines taste suggest e that
of new wine. The pulp is very tender,
and there is little but juice within the
delicate lining.

Pencil ~ Well n Pen.

maurice thompson IN Inc Crltlc.
After all, there is nothing like sketch
ing, no matter how poorly it may be
done, as means Of educating the mind
in natures smaller ways. Clear ex-
preston comes of accurate knowledge.
Whatever one has sketched remains
sharply defined in ones memory, both
in form and in effect. If one is liter
ary worker and can sketch readily, one
gets double value out of what one
chooses from nature. Hawthorne's
notebooks would have been far more
important and interesting if they had
been accompanied with illustrations in
pencil jot' d down on the spot.
The professional literary person
ought to vail himself of every means
for gathering material for his work
shop. One of the best means is sketch
ing from nature as supplementary to
faithful written descriptions and sug-
gestions. 1t was Gautier who said that
words have value extrinsic of their
meaning-in q literary artistic way
and 80 sketches from nature have q
suggestiveness and vitalizing power
not at all measured or controlled by
their artistic merit or demerit. They
serve as stimulants and tonics to the
memory and as fertilizers to the Gre
ative power of the injunction.

Never Buy q Copy.

Never buy copy of a picture. All
copies IRE bad, because no painter who
is worth q straw ever will copy. He
will make study of picture he likes
for his ewn use in his own way, but
he won't and can't copy: and when
ever You buy copy You buy so much
misunderstanding of the original, and
encouraging dull person in following

creasing ultimately chances of mistake

slider yourself as having purchased

your power, being engaged in dissem-

A Hint In Hand Organs.
rExchange.1

The boys played u mean trick on an old
deaf and dumb organ-grinder the other day.
They took out the cylinder, and he went
around the streets stopping before every door
and grinding away with a vim. He was sur
prised at the amount be had taken in; every
body contributed literally, and he noticed
that he wasn't ordered of once, nor was one
bulldog set on him; he had never seen the
peoplein such good humor, and didn't know
why it was until in the evening he opened up
his machine to oil it and drive in a few loose
notes here and there; but, instead Of getting
mad and using up all the deaf and dumb vo
cabulary, he took the hint, and now goe<
rounl grinding his empty organ, and is doing
more business than all tue other wholesale
music merchants in town.

The Craze OF Amateur TheatricaIs.


The "fad" of the hour is amateur
theatricals. People have gone half
crazy over them, and surer passport
to fashionable circles cannot be found
now than the ability to act, or, at least,
the inclination. 1t is an awful thing to
be an amateur actor The first duty of
father unquestionably is to strangle
child who shows the slightest disposi-
ton to go upon the amateur stage.
There is no doubt that amateur acting,
in nine cases out of ten, is
an evidence of incipient insan-
ity. If man thinks he can
ride horse. and he gets ON the horse,
is thrown to the ground, and half
killed, he at once arrives ut the con
clusion, without any Interior argument,
that he can't ride that horse. A man
who attempts to walk ON the water
sinks. He is usually aware of the fact.
But If man, woman, or child starts in
on soulless career as an amateur
actor, no power in heaven or on earth
can convince him or her that he or she
cannot act. The rage for the sport
goes on with unabated fury. 1t has
reached so high development here
that recently the Kemble society gave
o performance of "Othello" at the
Academy of Music on which they ex-
pended $4,000 for scenery, properties
and professional teachers. They
started subscription for the expenses
of the performance, expecting that
81 600 would put them through.
but $4,000 was subscribed almost
before the society was aware Of
it. So they had new sets of
scenery painted throughout, and cos
tunes made which excited the envy of
professional managers. After the
show was over l met stock-broker
whom l knew very we'll. and who
played the part OF Dorenzo. / asked
him how the thing went off.
"Gloriously, glorionsly," he said
rubbing his hands, briskly aud smiling
with great satisfaction.
ut was O success, was it?"
Success was no name for it. Joe
Glare, the assistant scene painter of the
Fifth Avenue theatre, told me on the
dead quiet that with the exception OF
the characters OF Othello, Iago, Desae-
mona and Cassie he had never seen any.

Americanixlnx London Jsaraalism.
TCor Philadelphia Press


The most prominent of the London
dailies are rapidly becoming American
lied to an extent that is causing the
musty old fogies who believe n every
thing that was and nothing that is, to
hold up their hands in pious horror.
The Pail Mall Gazette has gone boldly
into the interviewing business, and al
most every evening treats its readers
to an interesting chat with some notable
in the worlds of art, science, finance,
the drama or politics. We have had
within the last few days interviews with
"Lotta," who was further honored with
q life-like pen and ink portrait of her
charming personality; Baron Grant,
who talked glibly and enthusiastically
of the gold fields in the Transvaal he is
anxious to dispo.e of to confiding
public for the mere bagatelle of some
$4,000, 900; Chinese Gordon, who knows
more about the Soudan and its inhabit-
ants than any living Englishman, and
other well-known men whose opinions
on current topics of the day cannot but
be Of deep interest to the average news
paper reader. The Daily telegraph
prints specials" daily on all sorts of
matters, most of them, / fancy, purely
imaginary and about as truthful as the
famous dog and man fight which
created such stir few years ago.
The Dispatch, one of the best of the
Sunday papers, has Just concluded q
series of sketches, again imaginary, I
should suppose, of life as it may be seen
on the Thames embankment, and The
Echo has just published two most inter-
esting realistic sketches of London beg
gars and their methods, by Hugh Nc
Lauchlan, rising journalist, who not
only Yields a graceful pen, but is evil
IDENTIFY keen observer of human nature.
BY the bye, this gentleman evidently
did not get his facts secondhand, as he
was brought up before metropolitan
police magistrate on the morning Of
Tuesday last, robed in rags .nd tatters,
charged with lettering. Nc one who
saw him could blame the policeman
who arrested him, OF the inspector who
relegated him for the night to the police
cells, notwithstanding his co~tention that
he was reputable journalist and act
ing under his editors orders in assum-
ing the garb of o street msndicant. OF
course the worthy magistrate promptly
discharged Mr.. McLauchlan, and both
the lively little Echo and its bright young
reporter have secured an excellent ad-
vertisement.

'Cracklnsr and "Stabbing" Oysters
Trenton Times

Trenton Times.
When Thomas w. Walsh, of Phila-
delphia, the partner of George A.
Beech. was recently shown Frank
Cobine's offer to open with Beech, if he
would crack instead of stab" the
oyster, Walsh said:
THAT is very trivial objection. Mr..
Beech is quite ready and willing
either to crack or stab He is the
champion oyster-opener Of theworld.
He wears two gold medals as proof of
his pre-eminence in the art. One was
won at Fox's theatre, the present
Chestnut Street opera house where he
stabbed 100 oysters in four minutes and
seven seconds. hstancing five competi-
tors. The other he captured at match
in the National theatre"
what is the difIerece between crack
ing and 'stabb.ngY" was asked.
Cracking is the refuge Of the
bungling and inexpert artist. The
novitiate in oyster-opening finds it
quicker. He uses knife-handle as
heavy as q giants club. Poundl He
splinters the shell, scares the oyster
pfematurely to death, and deafens his
customers. The stabber's work is as
delicate as . watchmaker's. He can
operate with knife as thin as lance.
Deity he inserts the point. He touches
the oyster on the head. The oyster
withdraws. With quick twist of the
wrist he lays the oyster bare, intact
upon his pearl bed. He surrenders
himself then with grace and dignity.
All, there is great difference between
cracking and 'stabbing.'"
