The Phenomenal Increase of POpula-

years is illustrated by the vote cast for
President at the late election, which
aggregated 318,395, an increase of
85,298 over the presidential vote of
1880, and this despite the fact that the
late campaign in Texas was a rather
listless one andnot calculatedto to call out
a full vote. Cleveland's plurality over
Blaine in the State is 1885, and his
majority over all 128,O61, which is a
larger majority by nearly $4,000 than
that of Pennsylvania for Blaine. Should

Yellow and White Eggs.
HOW THE TASTE OF CONSUMERS DIFF

A dozen eggs. Pick out the yellow

The groceryman selected twelve eggs
with yellow shells and placed them in

head quite high and wore eyeglasses.

Where did she come from ?n was

" Boston," replied the groceryman.
" Boston likes the Brahma eggs, and
will pay from five to seven cents doz-
en- more for 'em than she will for white
shelled eggs. On t'Other hand, New
Workers. like the white eggs the best,
and if they can get 'em, are willing to
pay more for 'em than for the yellow
ones. As far as that goes, 1 don't see
why the yellow egg shOuld't be worth
the most, for five Brahma eggs are equal
to seven of the white eggs. But then.
it is cOarser than the others and that's
reason it suits the delicate Boston taste
the best. Maybe it's because the Brah-
ma egg don't spread all over when its
turned out of the shell soft boiled or
dropped into the pan to fry, like all the
white-shelled eggs do. The Boston egg
eaters says there is a richness of flavor
about the yellow egg that the others
don't posses, but / agree with the New
Yorker, and say that the whites ones
are more delicate and palataDle. The
Brahma egg is the largest of all eggs
put on the market, and the Langhan
and HOudans come next. The favorite
white-shelled eggs are Leghorns, Ply
mouth Rocks, Hamburgs, Dominiques
and game.
