A rather amusing incident occurred on

which son of Shamrock's sunny isle

Lehi Junction, he in natural manner
got on the wrong train. On the arrival
OF the north-bound train at Draper, the

passenger on the front end of the bag
gage car. On being invited to step off
he showed his ticket to Tintic, with:
"Plase misther, sur, can yez tell me
how much farther it is to Tintack ?''
With a characteristic laugh, Jack told
him he was going to Salt Lake.
"Howly muther Is that so? Me

That's what you are" replied Jack.

A skirmish Among the doctors.

When typhoid fever broke out at Port
Jeryis, some doctors quarreled about
how to cure it. Each said his way was
the best, and several said all the others
were entirely wrong and knew nothing
about how to cure it. a little knowledge
of medicine is dangerous thing, but
very valuable item of medical know
ledge is, that Browns Iron Bitters
builds up wasted systems, and by en-
riching enfeebled blood gives health and
strength. DIR. WI Newhill, of Carter's
Creek, Va, says, Browns Iron Bitters
is one of the best tonics I ever pre-
scribed. +

According to the Contemporary Re0ieso,
it'has now been proved by photographers
that the alphabet, which we have been
taught to believe was an invention of the
Phmnicians, was only borrowed by them
from the Egyptians and adapted to their
own uses, and that Tacitus WIS right
when he declared that the Egyptians con.
sidcred themselves the inventors Of writ
ing, and that "from them it was carried
to Greece by the Phenicians by the aid
of their supremacy, who thus gained the
glory of having discovered what they
really only received" The only addition,
indeed made by the Phenicians was the
letter 81, ?" which represented a sound I'M
known to the Egyptian tongue.
Among the Egyptians themselves, how
ever, the phonetic alphabet was one of
gradual development; further proof, il
proof were necessary, of the doctrine OF
| evolution; for, rs DIR Taylor says, ''no
alphabetic changes are ever accidental OF
arbitrary, as was formerly assumed, but
are the results of evolution taking place
in accordance with fixed laws" The HE
roglyphics represented the old established
sacerdotal form of writing. Out of thil
grew the "hieratic or running hand fol-
everyday use," where, among certain
hieroglyphic pictures, which were still
retained, representing facts or ideas Of
less common occurrence, signs and sym.
bols, instead of pictures, were introduced
for those most frequently recurring il
everyday life. This can be easily under

New York Tribune
In the back room of Broadway office
q curious invention was exhibited to sew
eral provision dealers and merchants.
The invention consisted of a number OF
artificial eggs, which resembled the real
article 30 exactly that none but an expert
could distinguish them. The shells were
made of clear, Transparent composition,
and the shape was perfectly modelled.
The portion surrounding the yolk was
made of albumen, and the yolk itself Of
ground carrot and saffron. Three of
these artificial eggs were placed on o
platter by the exhibitor with half dozen
real ones, and the men present were told
to select the bogus ones from the collec-
ton. The first expert exposed his igno-
rance by picking out three real eggs and
declaring them to be artificial. The
second, with a little better luck, owing
partly to his avoiding the three selected
by his unfortunate predecessor, managed
10 pick out two of the real eggs and one
of the artificial ones. Thus with varying
results each of the six men tried his skill
in determining the difference between the
eggs. by their appearance. When each
had had a trial, and failed the exhibitor
said:
'sNow, gentlemen, you can test them in
another way" A frying pan was then
placed on the stove, and In a few minutes
IL began to simmer. Two of the artificial
and the contents dropped into the hot
pan where they soon began to simmer and
sputter. A little salt and pepper, brisk
r..
fine dish of scrambled eggs as could be
prepared at restaurant was placed
before the expectant guests.
"Help yourselves, gentlemen. They
are as good as the real article. Nothing
poisonous or disagreeable about them"
This invitation was complied with at
once, and the several verdicts were
delicious. "Better than the real
article" "What are they made of ?"
"They are not artificial, but fresh eggs
from the country"
swell, gentlemen" smilingly responded
the exhibitor, ''whether real or artificial,
can make any quantity of those eggs at
cost of about half cent apiece, while
you cannot buy their equal for less than
two or three cents. You have Just had
proof that you cannot tell them from the
real article by their appearance or by
their taste when scrambled. In an ONE
lette there is equally no perceptible diff
ference, but when boiled the imposition
is much more easily detected. But even
then nine people out of ten would be de.
ceived; as the only difference lies in the
fact that the yolk and surrounding white
portion will not harden separately as
they do in the real egg. The flavor is
about the same, which after all should BE-
the main consideration. 1t is my inten
ton to put these artificial eggs on the
market soon, and my object in inviting
you here to-day was to make you favor
ably impressed with them. I think
have done it. Good-day, gentlemen"
