Eggs by Weight.

1t is annoying to the breeder of blood
ed and fine fowls to find, when he offers
for sale eggs nearly twice as large as his
neighbors, that they bring no more per
dozen than do the smaller ones. Also,
the consumer is often vexed to find that
he must pay the same price to-day for a
dozen eggs weighing a pound that he
yesterday paid for dozen weighing a
pound and half. Besides, an egg, from
a we'll fed fowl is heavier and richer
that one from common fowl that is
half fed, so that weight compared to size
is an indication of richness. Thus, eggs
of which eight will weigh pound, are
better and richer than eggs of apparent
ly the same size, of which ten are re-
quired for a pound. Of course, with
eggs at four and five cents dozen (and
hundreds of dozens have been sold in
past years at these 6gures), it is not
much matter as to size; but when the
price ranges from 25 to so cents per doz-
en-, 1t is a matter worth looking after
1t is high time that this old style of
buying and selling eggs were discontin
ued. 1t is relic of the past, and res
minds US OF the time when dressed hogs
sold for dollar each, without regard to
to size, and were dull sale. Insist upon
it, then, you who raise poultry and eggs
for the market. that the price for eggs
shall be so much per pound, and then it
will be some inducement to raise bet
ter class of fowls, and all will get what
is their just due.-American Rural
Home,

A Blessing or a Curse.

Two Scotehmen emigrated in the early
days to California. Each thought to
take with him some memorial of their
beloved country. The one of them, an
enthusiastic lover of Scotland, took with
him thistle, the national emblem. The
other took swarm of honey bees. Years
have passed away. The Pacific coast is,
on the one hand, cursed with the Scotch
thistles, which the farmers find it i'm
possible to exterminste; on the other
hand, the forests and fields are fragrant
and laden with the sweets of honey,
which has been and is still one of the
blessings of the western slope of the
Rocky Mountains. Even so does every
Christian carry with him some thistle
plucked from the old man, or honey
from the new man, with which to bless
or curse men, according as he makes
choice for God. How precious is our In
huence ;how we should watch and guard
it.-Words and Weapons,
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1886-08-19
American Interests in Mexico.

No statistics are available to show the
exact number of citizens of the United
States doing business in Mexico or the
amount of American capital invested in
that country, but the figures would be
surprising to people who imagine that
this country has only small interests at
stake across the Rio Grande, which would
suffer in case of war. The Mexican Cen
trail Railroad is fine, standard gauge
line, which connects with the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe system at Ell Paso
and runs to the City of Mexico, with
branches to Tampico and San Bias part
ly completed. This is Boston enter
prise. and there are many millions of
New England capital at stake in it. The
Mexican National, a rival narrew gauge
line, is in financial difficulties, and is
much less important, but it also involves
a large amount of American money.
Several journals are published in the
City of Mexico and other Mexican towns
by Americans, and hotels are owned and
managed by citizens of the United States.
Many American firms have established
agencies in Mexico and have valuable
stocks of goods in that country, which
are in charge of citizens of the United
States. Next to the railroads, if not,
indeed, of even greater Importance, are
the investments of American labor and
capital in Mexican mining property. 1t
is well known that millions of dollars
have been paid by citizens of the United
States for Mexican mines, and that other
millions have been spent in their equip
ment and development. All of these in
terests would be terribly injured, if not
wholly destroyed by war. OF course,
considerations of this nature should not
be allowed to weigh an iota against alb
solHte justice to an American citizen,
but they show how utterly stupid as well
as wicked is the clamor for war on be-
half of disreputable bully who richly
deserves more punishment than he will
get.-Cleveland Leader.

SOWER AND SEED.

A kindly word, and a kindly deed,
A helpful hand in time of need,
With strong true heart
To do his part
Thus went the sOwer oct With bis seed,
Nor stayed in his toll to name his creed.
No coat Of arms, nor no silken crest,
No purple or linen about his breast,
But royalty true
To tie purpose in view
Was his ceaseless search, and his con-
stant quest,
For suffering souls in need Of rest.
Feeling for others, bearing their pain,
Freeing the fetters, undoing the chain,
From sorrow and tears.
He wrought the bright years
Still unknown to rank, and unknown to
fame,
In letters of light God writeth his name.
Ella Dare, in Inter- Ocean.

AS WE grow older our opinions change
in everything-in nothing more than the
estimate which we place on our own of
forts or work Many a youthful pro-
duction that was a source of satisfaction
at the time, becomes with maturer years
and sounder judgment source of regret
and chagrin, rather than of pride or con-
tent. Thus poets change their opinions
of their own productions wonderfully at
different periods of life. A famous one
was, in his youth, warmly attached to
poetic composition. His house was on
fire, and to rescue his poems he rushed
through the flames. He was so fortu-
nate as to escape with his beloved man
uscript in his hands. Ten years after
ward he condemned to the flames those
very poems which he ventured his life
to preserve. True living should repre-
sent progress, and our youthful efforts,
however praiseworthy at the time, ought
not to satisfy the demand of ripper years.

Too Much for the President,

Daniel said the President. what did
the chimney sweep
Daniel forced a smile at this exhibi-
tion of Presidential wit.
Daniel remarked the President in a
mildly enthusiastic way, what made the
Goldfish ball?'
Daniel responsive smile was very
feeble effort
Daniel said the President, now Who'll
ly enthusiastic, why does the mutton
chop?'
Daniel looked slightly grieved.
Daniel said the President, growing
positively hilarious, what made the pill
low slip?'
? Daniel looked very tired.
Daniel exclaimed the President, now
wildly hilarious, why did the horse fly 2
Daniel looked surprised.
Daniel said the President, springing
to his feet and kicking the cuspidor
across the room, what did the monkey
wrench?'
Daniel looked positively alarmed.
Daniel exclaimed the President, try
ing to stand on his head on his desk, why
did the mill damp
And then, Col. Lamont, realizing that
the adjournment of Congress had been
too much for the chief magistrate, called
in assistance, had the President put to
bed, administered an opiate to him,
packed ice about his head, and when ev-
erything was calm softly murmured to
himself, Why does the ginger pop?' and
went out to cool off.
