"A Pope Who introduced Some Needed Re
forms.
One of the dailies of the Eternal City
calls attention to the fact that for
lmerly there were other and more fire.
iquent occasions for betting than the
ifeetness of horses. Nine new cardi-
mails were nominated by the pope, and
last week were invested in the robes of
their Office and covered with the broad
brimmed, ugly cardinal hats. and the
journal in question tells us that in old
days bets were as freely INDUCED in as
TO who would be cardinal as they are
now made in regard to what fayorite
horse will win. They even betted on
the election of the pope, and the pom
tifical government in vain tried TO put
down this gambling propensity in the
Romans. They might bet on cock
fights, gamble in lotteries, and fool
ishly spend their money in thousand
demoralizing wagering ways, but it
was a scandal to bet as to who would
wear the triple crown or the ugly red
hat. But when Sixtus V. assembled
the papal throne, he took heroic meas
ures. He was pope of infinite cum
ming and daring-two things that
rarely go together; for the cunning
man is generally weak man phys |
ically, and hence lying, regeneration.
and secrecy are his weapons. Sixtus
", you will remember, was, when a
boy, swineherd-though some deny
having risen through his own
ability, by various grades, to the car
'dinalship, he was finally elected pope
on the death of Gregory XIII. (15S5),
because it was thought by his fellow
cardinals that a man so infirm that he
could not walk without crutches was
already more ethan on his last legs"
and would soon have to give way for
another pope. But no sooner was he
elected to the highest office in the
church than he threw away his crutch-
es, sang tedeum in loud voice, and
was as apparently renewed in youth as
the poetic Inauguration of Goethe
made Faust to be after his first inter-
view with the devil. He displayed {

Eggs from the Old World.

1t will no doubt be news to very
many otherwise weIl-informed house
wives that by no means insignifi-
cant percentage of the eggs used in
America are not laid by American hens.
A World reporter who investigated
the subject was surprised to find to
what proportions the business of i'm
porting eggs from Eruope had grown.
While the United States is annually
sending more meat and larger quanti-
ties of breadstuff abroad, the increased
importation of eggs has been CORE
ispondingly great. Since September
there has been received in New York
over a million and half dozen of eggs.
From present indications the importa-
lions ofthis year will be greatly in ex-
icess of that of any previous year.
The business was started some four
lor five years ago. Eggs have long
been an export article of Denmark.
England's supply comes largely from
that country. But, from more init
mate commercial relations between
importers of that country and New
York export houses, the idea was con-
iceived of adding eggs to the other ar
ticles exchanged for American prod
ucts. The experiment was fortunate
lly made when the demand in this
market was great and eggs command
ed high price. The importations for
the first year was not large and ready
market was found. The prices real
lied were higher than those obtained
in England. For this reason the num-
Der sent to New York was larger the
following year. The increase has an
nually been more marked.
Not only Denmark, but Belgium.
Germany, Hungary, and even Poland
have contributed to the supply. Eggs
from Denmark. however, are held in
greatest favor and command the high
est price. They are received here
during the entire year, with the excep- |
ton of the Lot summer months. They |
are imported, ordinarily, ten months |
in the year, the great portion during
the period from October to the middle |
of March. The importations are
greatly affected by the weather. And
1t is regarded as proof of the increased
trade that so large quantity has been
received while the wheather has been
mild.
LII is SAID that the eggs prepared In
lime on the other side of the Atlantic
are superior to the ''limed' eggs of
his country. Therefore the first i'm
,ortations of ''limed" eggs brought
within 8 to cents of the price of fresh
Iomestics. Now the difference is
much greater. AS the Lenten season
approaches the prices are not very
ride apart. The supply of fresh eggs
S smaller and the demand greater.
European ''limed" eggs sell alongside
omestics, and in some instances the !,
ormer have the advantage in price. ,
his is in part due to the quality, but ,
lainly from the fact that those from !
ome foreign countries, especially !
denmark, are sorted and graded ac- J
ording to size. This is not done in :
merica. The prices thus far have
inged from 16 to % cents per dozen
wholesale. v
But it is not alone in 'slimed'' eggs
lat importers deal. Large quantities p
fresh eggs come over during the a

Begging in China.

in China begging is regular bust
ness, beggars being born into the pro-
fession and bringing up their children
to it. In every large city there is a
vast association of medicants, to which
everyone who bees for living must
belong. AT the head is one styled the
"beggar king" His authority is alb
solute, and to him the others are
amenable. The society has a code of
rules, and by this every beggar has
right, according to custom, to stand
at the door of IA dwelling, and howl.
