Eggs for the celestial Epicure.


Visitors to the healtheries last year who
thought they sounded the depths of Chi
nese cookery by dining a few times at the
Chinese pavilion would appear to have
been mistaken. Not to mention other
aristocratic dishes, they did not taste
rotten eggs; at least we do not recollect
that these were in any of the menus, al
though they are among the delicac!es of
all properly organized Chinese banquets,
and much more care is devoted to bring
ing the eggs to the proper state of putre-
faction than we ever devote to keeping
them fresh.
Ducks eggs are taken by preference.
and placed in a mixture of Quicklime,
ashes, potash, salt and decaying vegetable
matter, which is worked up into a kind
of pudding They remain here month
or six weeks, and are then fit for the table
of the gourmand. There is a popular be
lief among Europeans in China that the
eggs are buried in the earth for $50 years :;
but this is delusion A gentleman who
recently told the Anthrop0logical society
of France all about these delicacies stated
that he tried to eat one in order to be able
to describe his sensation; but he cOnfesses
that he was fairly driven off the field,
leaving the egg victorious. Thereupon a
member of the society observed that We
must not throw stones at the Chinese, or
rather at the Chinese eggs, for look, he
said, at our own cheese

The CAROLYN a Islands.
[Chicago TimeR.l

The Caroline islands may be regarded as
a practical exhibition of mos. of the
various systems of government that are
just now in favor. zap and Kusaie, two
of the largest islands in the group, are
kingdoms, and, considering that ! APP is
only a Pacific kingdom, it is a very ad
vanced place, its chief town possessing a
well-paved street, and there being on the
island no less than sixty seven villages,
each of which is semi-independent com
mune. Unfortunately consumption is
rampant. and the population is rapidly
decreasing. Kusaie is less enlightened
monarchy, but, on the other hand, it has
no consumption, and 1t has number of
gigantic ruins which have no rivals in
Zap.
Ponape, a third island, is an oligarchy
governed by five princes. Like Kusaie it
contains prehistoric ruins, and thirty
years ago it had population of Is, 900
souls At the present time. owing to re-
cent ravages of smallpox, there are only
1000 These. however, are well-to do
and fiourishing. and they are noted for
their intelligence and physical beauty.
Other islands are republic, elective des-
potisms, and declarations of petty prince
doms; but upon the whole none are so
prosperous as oligarchical Ponape
