Some men are like eggs. You

IMPORTED EGGS.

The value OF our egg import is
nearly three millions of dollars, as
stated IN the Customs returns, or
or about six cents a dozen. Happy
is the consumer who can buy them
for twelve cents, while he who eats
them at the restaurant, pays five or
ten cents for each specimen that he
takes upon his plate. 1t is a curious
fact, known to those who take meals
at our city restaurants, that the
price OF eggs is unyarying. They
cost as much there in January as in
June. OF the egg import into the
United States, three-fourths come
from Canada, mostly from Quebec
and Ontario. One fifth comes in ria
Vermont, and another fifth at Buff.
alo, another at Niagara, and another
at Boston and Ogdensburg. Nearly
one half of the importation is into
New England, and the remainder
arrives at New York, and at Mag.
ara and Buffalo. 1t is curious
fact that China sends us two hun
dred and twenty thousand dozen
eggs, worth eleven thousand, four
hundred and sixty-six dollars, and
thai San Francisco reports an i'm
port of eggs to that amount exactly.
John Chinaman clings closely to his
native land, and to such delicacies
as those eggs must be after travel

PROTECTION AGAINST THIEVES.

In electricity we have a means of
giving certain and prompt warning
by means of the electric bell, of the
presence of providers about ones
premises. Anyone can easily learn
the management of a small battery,
and the telegraph supply stores are
now so numerous, that an outfit can
be conveniently obtained by cores
pondence. In case ofan emergence,
strong, black sewing thread may he
suspended upon twigs about the
grounds-say surrounding the poul-
try-hOuse, or the trees where fowls
roost, or the melon patch. Another
piece may be attached to the poul-
try-house door, and the ends brought
to the bedroom, where they may be
made to suspend pound weight
apiece. The weights will hold the
threads taut, and a prowler will
either break them, or at least move
the weights considerably. This
must he arranged so as to SET off an
alarm of some kind, easily eontriyed
like the alarm of a clock, or to over
set pile of tin pans from table, or
make some other noise to waken
even heavy sleeper. Then If some
one raises the window and fires
pistol, or throws out one Of the big
Chinese crackers, or opens and shuts
a door, even lone woman will
drive away pretty determined
thieves, or even burglars.-Amey.

Survival of tha FittAst.

For some time past the question Of purity in
baking powders has formed quite feature of
newspaper discussion, and eminent doctors Of
philosophy have given opinions as to the in
gradients which compose many of the articles
sold under that name. The investigations have
narrowed down to the limit which awards the
Royal Baking Powder the palm of purity. and
several of the most distinguished scientists have
testified to their conviction that no extraneous
deleterious matter enters into its composition.
The Royal Baking Powder Company have
achieved worldwide reputation for the success
which has marked their preparation of cream of
tartar for baking purposes. 1t is indisputably
shown that they have eliminated all elements of
tartrate of lime, alum other impurities, and
present to the public healthful and chemically
pure article. Such widely known chemists as
Henry Morton, e. G. Love, Fl. A. Mott, William
McMurtrieand others have verified its superiority
over other manufacturers and testified, through
practical experience, to its excellence It is we'll
for families observe the fact that it costs more
to manufacture the Royal Baking Powder than
any other, but it is, as shown by chemical analy
sis, tho one absolutely pure" baking powder
made.

Burial of the Murdered Station Agent-NO
Clew to the Identity of His Assassins.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
MARSHALL, Sept IA The funeral of the MUIR
dered agent, George Powers, was held in the
Methodist Church this morning at $780, The
church was packed, and many were unable to
secure standing room even. Every business
house in the city was closed, and the schools
were dismissed. People for miles around, who
had come to know and esteem the dead agent
from meeting him at the station. came to pay
the last sad rites to his remains. The floral Of
ferings were beautiful The sermon was
preached by Rev. David F. Stowe. Methodist
minister, who had known Powers from his birth,
they having been born and raised in the same
place, Cedar Grove, Ind The procession to the
cemetery was one of the longest ever seen here.
Absolutely nothing has been accomplished, SO
far, toward finding the murderers. Two blood
hounds from Olnev arrived at midnight, and
were given a trial this marning, but to pur-
pose, and they were sent back. 1t is thought
that the large rewards offered will tempt some
skilled detective to undertake the case.

The Great Hay Fever Army.

II is estimated that there are one hundred thousand
sufferers from hay fever IN the United States; num-
Der about four times greater than the regular standing
army No disease is intensely distressing. Per-
haps none other subjects its victims to fortunes
tons may bring attack. When the surface of
patient becomes chilled perspraton suddenly checked,
the mucous membrane OF the air passages con-
gested there is an exquisite tickling and painful itch
ing of the nose followed by violent sneezing and pro-
fuse discharge of nasal mueus; the eyes filed
with tears; the blood PUSHES to the head and faces
there Is severe headaches complete closing OF the
'nostrilsi nervous exhaustion; and complete shaking
up of the entire being
Of one thing hay fever patients may be certain it is
not constitutional alment; it does not arise from
impure state of the blood and so-called blood medi
cines and specifics relieve it than
they can cure neuralgia or toothache. Unable to do
better doctors commonly tell their hay fever patients
TO try change of air. and If this is impossible, to
undergo palliative treatment This means the use of
qulnIne choral iodoform, carbohc acid, cocaine, and
the thferent preparations of mercury, none OF them
giving more than few hours relief andmost OF them
producing dangerous secondary effects and reactions.
The cauterizing treatment, adopted by some special
lsts Is not only painful and useless but liable TO bring
on pafoxysms of real asthma; and equally valid objec
tons exist to the whole abnormal tribe of douehes,
smokes, powders and snuffs
In lecture recently delivered at the Chicago Med
Icaf college. Dr. s. s. Bishop Surgeon to the Illinois
Charitable Eye and Ear Infrmary, used the following
remarkable words: 1.-THE man who finds cure for
hay fever need take thought for the morrow, for
the great of sufferers will cast their golden treas
ures at bis feet and erect to his memory monument
of gratitude more lasting than bronze or stone"
Judging by the results of its use in innumerable
hay fever during the past few years. the propr
etors of preparation called Ely's Cream Balm may
faIrly lay claim both to the money and the monument;
and while it is not custom to praise secret
dies, truth and the good of hay fever sufferers
than justify exception in this This remedy,
which undoubtedly succeeds where the best results of
other experiments fail to reach and counterfeit
the mysterious of this most distressing disease
and that too without being either unpleasant to
or producing the slightest local or constitutional i'll
effects.

precedenred demand for information regarding
the school. Applications for circulars have been
received from nearly every State and Territory
In the Union, aud from several of the provinces.
The present indications are that the incoming
class will be the largest in the history of the in

from widely separated localities. The institute
has been greatly strengthened by the selection
of Prof. 7. G. Mendenhal as president and of
w. A. Moves, a graduate of several years stand
Ing from John Hopkips's University, as profess
sor of chemistry. A Richie testing ma
chine, capable of weighing strains of
100 600 pounds, has been ordered, and
will soon be in position. The nsti-
