Brethren, to do the work, and to do
it as it should be done, in our iudg-
ment, it will require more time than
an afternoon session. Local
preachers must make written re-
ports of their work Trus,

ports of the condition, title, and walls
ue of Church property, and so on.
So we will meet at 8 o'clock am, on

ARTIFICIAL EGGS.
The Story as 1t Appears In a Respect
able English Journal.

"This is a wonderful ageI" ex'
claimed gentleman as he put aside
the newspaper he was reading In
the cars. CAT last they are manu-.
featuring eggs so exactly like the
hen product that no one can tell the
artificial from the natural. l have
just read all about the new in
dustry' in the paper. Dear me,
what next?" Unquestionably q
very large number of readers were
led to belisve the story so
adroitly put up. by a facetioua
writer in the Detroit Free Press, re-
garding the manufacture of hens
eggs. The Joke has gone the round
of the English press; and but few
doubters have come to the front to
dispute the statement. The Eng
lish, rs a rule, are incapable Of ap.
preciating, or even understanding,
American jokes. They gobble down
all our crude, absurd, improbable
newspaper stories, and look at each
other in wonder.
The egg story is published In so
highly respectable a journal as the
LOnden Farmer, and this is the
way 1t is described:
1.-THE manufacture Of artificial
eggs across the Atlantic Is
rapidly increasing; and one es.
Enlistment alone turns out up.
wards of 1000 every day. The yolks
are formed Of paste composed of
corn -four, starch and other materi-
ais. The whites are made of albu.
men and are chemically Identical
with the whites of real eggs. 5The
inner skin is film of gelatine; and
the shell is plaster of Paris, and is
somewhat thicker than the original.
The yolk- is first rolled out and
frozen hard; then it is enclosed in
the albumen and submitted to q
rapid rotary motion, which makes 1t
a proper OvOid form, and again it is
fir, zen. 1t is then dipped into
the gelatine, and after that into the
plaster, which, while drying rapid
ly, retains the form after the con-
tents have melted. It is said that,
in point OF taste, the eggs cannot be
distine uished from the resi- article,
while they will keep good for years,
and are not easily broken. They
can be favored to resemble ducks
eggs; but up to the present it is
stated that even the most Sssiduous
hen has failed to produce chicks
from these compounds"
The western joker Will be en-
coursged to try his hand again in
the " delusion" line; and his next
venture we shall look for with in
terest.

Angels arc singing, and Whispering there.
Baby is looking: What does she sect
Far in the deep blue empyrcnn-t

Chanting their low, tcndcranthcms of love,
Smile back, and whisper 10 my little dove.
Now baby sleeps. On each bcautcous limb,
Dappled and flushed, is II warm, pinky CLEAN,
Hallowcd and sweet was her lullaby hymn.
