Eggs for the Celestial Epicure.

3D. 49, ~GN~A
Pail Mall Gazette: Visitors to the
healtheries last year who thought they
sounded the depths OF Chinese cookery
by dining a few days at the Chinese pa
Wilton would appear to have been mis-
taken. Not TO mention other aristo-
cratic dishes, they did not taste rotten
eggs; at least We do not recollect that
these were in many OF the menus al
though they are among the delicacies
of all properly organized Chinese ban
quets, and much more care is devoted
to bringing the eggs TO the proper state
of putrefaction than we eve devote to
keeping them fresh.
Ducks eggs are taken by preference
and placed in q mixture of quicklime,
ashes, potash, salt and decaying vcgc-
table matter, which is worked up into
a kind of pudding. They remain here
"A month or six weeks. and are then iii
for the table Of the gourmand. There
is IA popular belief among Europeans
in China that the eggs are buried in the
earth for $50 years; but this is a de.
fusion.
A gentleman who recently told the
Anthropological society of France al
about these d~elicacies stated that h,
tried 10 eat one in order to be able to
describe his sensation: but he confcsses
that he was fairly driven off the field,
leaving the egg victorious. Thcreupor
n member of the society observed that
we must not throw stones ut the Chi.
nes", or rather at the Chinese eggs, fol
look, he said, at our own cheese.

A Business Problem.

A Chicago man is bothered by the
following problem, and is anxious to
learn how he can apply it to his own
business: There were three boys en-
gagged in selling apples. Two of them
had 80 apples each. and the third had
60 apples, or exactly rs many rs the
other two put together. The first boy
sold his apples at two for u cent, and
therefore took in - cents. The see
u sold his apples at three for one
cent, and therefore took in ten cents.
The two together took in - cents. But
the third boy sold his GO apples at five
for two cents, and therefore only took
in "a cents. To sell five apples for
two cents ought to bring III IA much as
to sell two Of them for one cent, and
the other three for another cent; but il
seems that it does not if different peo-
Pile own the two apples me the three"
This has the air of interesting extern
poraneity that a Chicago assault on the
exact sciences ought to have. Selling
2 apples for a cent ID times and 3
apples for n cent 10 times doesn't make
5 apples for a cent IL times, according
to precise eastern ideas.

A CHRISTIAN LIFE

is the only cheerful life, while a life of
wicked surrender is remorse, ruin and
death. Its painted glee is sepulchral
ghustliness. In the brightest days of
the Mexican empire Montezuma said he
felt gnlwing at his heart something
like II canker. Sin. like . monster
wild beast of the forest, sometimes
licks all over its victim in order that
the victim may be more easily swal-
lowed; but generally sin rasps, and
gals, and tears, and upbraids, and
files. l. il not so, Herodp Is it not
SO, Hildebrandp Is it not so. Robes

upside down. History tells us that
when Rome was founded on that day
there we're twelve vultures flying
through the air; bat when a transgres-
sor dies the sky is black with whole
hocks OF them
V. learn from this subject what a
sad thing it is when the church of God
loses its metal! These Philiatines saw
that if they could only get all the
metallic weapons out OF the hands of
the israelites, all would be well, and
therefore they took the swords and
the spears. They did not want them
to have a single metallic weapon.
When the metal of the Israelites was
gone their strength was gone. This is
the trouble with the church OF God to-
day. 1t is surrendering its courage.
Ii has not got enough metal. How
seldom it is that you see a man taking
his position in pew or in pulpit or in Il
religious society, and holding that po-
sition against all oppression. and all
trial, aud all persecution; and all criti-
cism.
The church OF God to-day wants
more backbone, more defiance. more

Raisins.

A very pretty device for banner in tenn
perance procession was bunch of grapes
with the motto, IF you eat us we are food !;
if you drink us we are poison" Institutions
are built for the practice Of the grape cure"
a diet of grapes being considered corrective
and restorative. In the dried form such sal
utary food is certainly within the reach of
every one; and the superiority of it 10 fiery
drink is almost self-evident.
According to Sir William Gull, Queen
| Vctora's physician, and of course eminent
in his profession. it is better in case of fatigue
| from overwork, to eat raisins than to resort
to alcohol In his testimony before the
Lords Commission, in London, a few months
ago, he affirmed that instead of flying to al
cohol, as many people do when exhausted
they might very well take water or might
very well take food and they would be very
much better without alcohol"
He added, as to the form of food he himself
resorts to, sin cases of fatigue from over
work would say that if | am thus fatigued
my food is very simple-I eat the raisins in
stead of taking the wine. For thirty years l
have had large experience in this practice. |
have recommended it to my personal friends.
1t is a limited experience, but l believe it
good and true experience"
This is valuable testimony; we know of
none better from medical sources, and we
commend it to the thoughtful consideration
of all those who are in the habit of resorting
to "a little wine for thy stomach's sake and
thine often infirmities. - Youths Companion.

AS illustrating still further the popularity
that prevailed in the familiar correspondence
of I'VE olden time," will say here that l
have some letters written in this unique
style, about the same time, by my great
grandfather, Thomas Archer, to his son, then
a student of medicine in Philadelphia. When
boy used to study them as l did enigmas;
and if the truth must be told, | cannot yet
fully comprehend them. Here is specimen
from a letter dated September q 1865: az n

write you more than that one Mr.. Hood our
Stamp Master has been (that is his effigy)
hanged andconsumed to the Flames first in
Annapolis and also in Baltimore Town and

day at the Cross Roads now Churchvillel
in way of Disregard to the Stamp Law which
l hope will be taken Notice of in other
Places that is to discourage the Proceeding
as far as possible. n n
This extract verifies pretty well Talley-
rand's famous aphorism: "Words are intend
ed to conceal ideas" The widest political
trickster, even of the present day-and that
is saying good deal-could not conceal his
views and intentions beneath mass of YER
biage, more effectually than the above leaves
arein doubt as to whether the writer's sympa-
thies were with the stamp master or with the
incensed patriots. He died on the eve of the
great struggle for independence. The stead
fast and ardent patriotism subsequently dis
played by the son, to whom these ambiguous
words were addressed, is the only surety
we have that the paternal teachings and
example were constantly on the side of lib
erty. G. w. ARCHER.

ing,
And all around is sweet serenity.
But am sad-I miss thee-oh, miss thee
do not feel thy soft hand on my brow
| cannot hear thy voice-I cannot kiss thee
How sweet were life if thou vert with me now
Thou art away, and midnight comes to greet
me-
The moon her soft light throws upon my path
And fancy whispering sweet things, tries TO cheat
me
Out of the sadness which my sick soul hath.
But, ali, she cannot lure me into smiling,
Nor to my bosom lend one throb of cheer,
With all her fond and innocent beguiling,
For, OH my love, my love, thou art not here.
Thou art away and morn again is breaking
The air is vocal with the wild birds song
Red glows the east-all nature is awakening,
The babbling brook runs merrily along,
And still miss thee, loved one, from my dwell
ing
Morn, noon and night appear and disappear,
And still my heart with sad unrest is swelling
because, my darling one, thou art not here.

A BIG BLAZE.

Terrible Fire Among Railroad Property al
Peoria, ILL.,. Involving Loss of $500, OOO
Rivers of Burning OIL.
PEORIA, ILL.,, juno 26.-Yesterday af-
ternOOn fire broke out in the building oc.
cupied by the Consolidated Tank Line
Company, near the Union depot, caused
by spark from a locomotive dropping
into a gasoline tank. There were about
forty-five thousand gallons of oil stored
IN the building, and as barrels and tanks
exploded the burning oil ran down ip the
direction of the Union freight depot. A
number of freight cars were run along
side of the building, and the work of
loading them with freight commenced.
The burning oil ran across the track at
the lower end and shut them off, and a
moment later the cars were in flames.
The workmen had to fly for their lives.
At almost the same instant the freight
depot was ablazc, and i'm few minutes
the building, with all the freight stored
in it, thirty freight cars and one passen-
ger coach were consumed.
From this point the burning oil pur-
sued its way toward the river without
further damage. The loss of the Con-
sOlidated Tank Line Company is $l5, 900,
with no insurance; on freight depot,
$4,000; insured. The heavy loss is on
the merchandise and freight cars, which
is estimated all the way from 5000, 900 to
100000. Probably 100000 will cover
the losses of all parties. Nothing but
the absence of wind saved all that end Of
the city.

and, an inmate of the State House Of
Correction, and arrested for larceny, was
shot while attempting to escape yester
day. His time was to have been out in
about month. He was assigned to
yard work, and Lad the liberty of the
yard. AS the gate was open to allow
team to pass out, Wentand dashed
through toward the railroad track.
Edward Barnes, the guard on that
part of the wall, gave the alarm, and
called to the man to stop, threatening to
shoot. Wentand paid no attention to
this, and the guard fired over his head,
but he still kept on. The guard reloaded,
and, when Wentand was fully seventy five
rods away, he again fired, this time at
Wentand, hitting him in the back. The
wounded man was conveyed to the prison
hospital. There is slight hope of his re-
cOvery.

The Tossichc Zeitung of Berlin says
that the delegates sent to China to
work up railway development in the
interests of German capitalists and
manufacturers have reported in effect
that there is no chance for railway
construction in China on scale which
could be made profitable for European
enterprise until the Emperor attains
his majority. which will not be
until the close of 1887. The paper
says that the above reports of the del
egates has been read at a meeting of
the German capitalists and manufac-
turers interested in the investigation of
the delegates, who further state that
the Viceroy assured them that China
would build railways when she was
able to manufacture. the materials
needed in their construction within her
own domains.
