Interesting Facts About Eggs.

Five million dozen of eggs are annual
ly imported from the Dominion, the
greater portion fromQuebecand Ontario.
The egg import from Europe is also
large, but the hens of the Canadas are
by far the largest factors in this trade,
and the trade increases every year. Eggs
pay no duty, and when we reflect, that
this product comes from millions of
humble sources-the poultry yards of
small farmers-and that 1t is only the
surplus that goes to market, we may
well wonder, where and how the billions
of eggs consumed in the United States
are produced. 1t is an interest that
may be rated at many tens of million
dollars. Yet il is not among the enum-
erations of the National Census, Let
us hope, that the next census, the
eleventh, will cover this important
field. 1t is probable that the egg con-
sumption of our fifty million inhabitants
is not less than three Lillion year, at a
valuation of from twenty five TO thirty
millions Of dollars. There are 'ega-
trains" on the railroads of the northern
frontier. and the cities and villages of
New England draw most of their eggs
from the border. TO which they are
brought by the railroads of Canada
The import of eggs at Ogdensburg alone,
was valued. at one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars for the last fiscal year.
AS many are entered In several other
collection districts; at Buffalo, -and,-ip
two districts'in Maine, e,nearlythree1i 1illes
this traffic In imported eggs is done.
These eggs are taken from the original
packages, carefully examined by candle
or lamp light, and then repacked, the
defective eggs being laid aside. II trans
portation is not immediate, the eggs are
placed in cold storage warehouses, where
the temperature is few degrees above
freezing, and there kept until shipped.
The world must be fed, and while the
imperial West feeds famishing Europe
with grain, and the South sends cotton
and tobacco, the favored people Of the
United States need not begrudge the
hardworking farmers of Canada, the
contribution they are able TO make TO
our needs from their little farms. &C. p.

ONLY A CURL.

Only little silken curl,
Cut from the head OF a laughing girl,
In happy long ago.
But ahl the laughing girl is dead.
And from my life the light has fed,
For OH loved her so.
Only lock of shining hair
That crowned my darling bright and fail
Before deaths parting blow.
1t brings me back her vanished charms,
Her pressing lips and clinglng arms,
For Oh! 1 loved her so.
Only little sllken tress.
That used my sweet ones cheek to press
Aud DER her shoulder flow.
Butlookng back through long-gone year,
A holy thing that trcSs appears,
For obi loved her so.
Only little silver thread.
BY which my heart was captive led,
In happy youth. And lol
II still leads on through grief and pain,
To where the parted meet again,
For ohl loved her so.
Only little rlnglet fair,
Only a dead girls glossy hair.
But words could not bestOw--
Treasurer enough TO fiji its place.
Or summon back the one lost face.
That have wOrshiped.
