a man buSily engaged in holding
eggs up before candle attracted the
attention of a reporter In Third avenue
near Forty-seventh street, New York,
the other evening. An interview was
the result, aud here it is:
"What are you doingT''
"Candling eggs. You see, 1 pick up
each egg and hold it before the candle.
The light shines through it. L can see
at glance whether 1t is cracked or
specked or spoiled. If it is cracked
set 1t aside to be sold at a low price.
Bakers and coufectioners and some
prudent families buy cracked eggs, and
they are as good as any eggs not
cracked, but they must be used within
twenty-four hours"
''Is not that an old-fashioned way of
testing eggs?"
"Yes; but experience proves it to be
the best, and it is quick. An expert
can handle ZOO eggs a day. 1t has
been tried to test eggs by water. A
good egg will sink and bad egg will
float, but you cannot find out a specked
egg that way"
"What makes specked eggs?"
Lying in one position. An egg
should not be lert many days In one
position. If an egg is turned every
day it will keep long time. An ex-
pertinent was once tried by d. III. Den
mis-, President of the Duchess County
Creamery, as to how long an egg could
be kept good. He kept one on bis
desk nine months, and turned 1t every
day and kept it good"
''How long are the best eggs kept be-
fore they get upon the tables of the
best hotels?'
.'It takes about four days, because
they are bought in bulk in the country
and must be carefully assorted before
being placed on the market"
"How are imported eggs kept from
spelling on the voyage?"
They are carefully watched and
turned. They come i'll cases easy to
handle, and an expert soon learns 10
handle them quickly. 1t adds about a
quarter of cent dozen to the cost
but we can pay that and the freight
and yet sell eggs that cone from France
and Germany cheaper than we can sell
Western eggs, and some think they are
better. We can get them here In about
twelve days from France. England
also gets many eggs from Germany and
France"

What did the Privares Do3

Our dailies TEEN with daring deeds,
And books are filed with fame,
Brass bands win play and cannons rear
In honor Of the name,
of men who have COMMISSIONS and
Were honest, brave and true,
But still the question comes TO me,
What did the privates do2
Who were the men 10 guard the camp
When the foe was lowering roundf
Who dug the graves OF comrades dear.
Who laid them IN the ground?
Who sent the dying message home
To those he never knew?
If the officers did all this
What did the privates dol
Who were the men TO I'LL the place
OF comrades slain in strife,
Who were the men TO risk their own
To save n comrades life,
Who was it lived on salted pork
And bread too hard TO chew,
II the officers did all this
What did the privates do?
Who laid in pits on rainy nights
All eager for the fray,
Who marched beneath a seorching sun
Through all thu toilsome day.
Who paid the sutler double price
And seanty rstious drew,
II the officers get all the praise
Then what did the privates do?
In honor 70 the brave old boys
Who rallied "a the call,
Without regard To name or rank
We honor one and all,
They're passing over ons by one
And soon they'll be all gone,
To where the books will surely show
What the privates themselves hav
done.

of contradictory feelings. The genuine
love of her reputed parents did not
perfectly repay her for the indifference
of her true parents. 1t was now only
too evident that why they had paid
these yearly visits. Their love being
given to their lost son, they had come
merely to refresh their eyes and memo
rIes by gazing on his twin sister. But
they had really cared for her only so
long as they had believed him lost.

Mr.. and Mrs. Thirkle lost their child,
they came here for the sole purpose OF
gratifying their affection for him by
looking at you and imagining how
much he would look like you were he

Big Fish Of the cnsnlan.

In the southeast of Russia is the great
est salt lake in the world, the Caspian sea.
which has an area Of 100, 600 square miles
that is, an area greater than all the
British Islands put together, with an adj
ditiOnal island larger than England
thrown in extra-is intimately connected
with the fresh water fisheries of the Volpa
and the Ural, for the fish migrate from
fresh water to salt and from salt water to
fresh there as elsewhere. The great
fishery of this region is that for the
sturgeon and its kindred; also for the
salmon, white salmon and knife fish. The
sturgeon family attains to an enormous
size, especially the beluga, which some
times measures twenty feet in length and
weighs 2, 500 pounds, though specimens of
over 1000 pounds are rare. The sewruga
is also giant, but the other surgeons
are seldom taken above six feet in length.
The number of these giants disposed Of
annually at Astrakhan has in some Years
been enormous-300, 600 surgeons, 1OO.-
600 belugas, and millions of the others.
No wonder that there are complaints Of
the failure of the supplies, and, as is
usual where ignorance prevails, the mis-
chief is attributed to every cause but the
right ''It is because of the steamboats," "
says the mOujik, and forthwith the mouiik
hates The sight Of steamboat. But steam
or no steam, the sturgeon of the Caspian
may soon become as rare curiosity as
Thames salmon. Astrakhan, the princi-
pal Caspian port, is one of the most i'm
portant fishing stations in the world.
From this region alone the Russian reve-
nue. nets about 81, 200, 600 for fishery

'sAt the end Of two weeks my whole
body exhaled the odor Of truffles.
II had evidently reached cooking point
sOne evening the chief minister, who
had been assigned to help Amedee in the
kitchen, came to inspect me While he
was smelling and shifting me happy
thought came to my mind-the idea that
the savage could be induced to believe
that he was already as proficient as Anne
dee, and so might aspire to the role Of
chief cook.
81 picked up a mushroom, and, point
ing to Amedee, who was lying asleep, I
tried TO make the cannibal understand by
my gestures what an appetizing dish that
excellent man, so plump and fat, would
make when served up in that delicious
sauce Of his own invention.
"The savage Immediately ran to the
kings hut, evidently surprised at not hav-
ing hit on that happy idea before.
1.-The next morning was awakened by
a loud fizzing. 1t was Amedee who was
being fried by his former servant IN a
mass Of mushrooms.
81 could not help feeling overjoyed-
first, because my companion was no more
favored than myself; and, secondly, be |
cause I knew that the new cook would
respite me for a while longer, as he had |
his stock of prisoners renewed.

Parasites Of the ocean.

II one watches the pools as the tide goes
down one may often see the shell which
holds a hermit crab decorated with a sea
anemone. The anemone, one might sup
pose, had taken up its position of its own
accord when the shell was at rest. Mr..
Gosse, however, says that in every in
stance when he detached the anemone
from the shell the hermit crab picked it
up and held it in its claws against the
shell ''fOr the space Of ten minutes at a
time, until fairly attached by a good
strong base" Is such a strange proceed
ing simply dictated by love of finaryP A
still more curious case mentioned by Pro-
fessor Mohns, 'Beitrage zur Murerfauna
der Insel Maurities," inclines one to a
different conclusion. He tells us Of two
distinct genera of crabs in the Manritius
which have habit of firmly grasping a
sea anemone In either claw and CARRYING
them about. The professor does not at
tempt to explain the habit, but it seems
to us that it may very likely be a ruse,
under cover Of which to approach their
prey, just as wild fowlers endeavor to
steal up to duck or swans in the "watches"
or pieces of open water in the middle of
frozen floods, by carrying a laurel or pine
bough in their hands.
One animal will make use of another
simply as a means of locomotion. A good
example Of this is the sucker fish of the
gulf, which adheres by means of
a sucker situate on the back of its head
TO the belly of a shark. Professor Nose !
ley writes; '"The sharks were often seen
attended by one or more pilot fishes, as
well as bearing the suckers attached 10

why a Pump Operates.

NO pump draws water; pump can no
more lift water than it can lift itself; il
lifts nothing at any time. The plunger or
l-bucket of pump displaces the air which
is in the barrel of the pump, and eNhaus.s
that which is in the feed or water pipe
called by custom the suction pfpe-prob-
ably because it doesn't suck ANYTHING.
After the air is displaced from the pines
the pressure of the atmosphere pushes the
water to fill the vacuum. The pump has
no other Office to perform than TO ret the
air out of the pipes Further: the size Of
the suction" pipe has nothing to do with
the action of pump; it does not make
the pump work one bit easier whether it
is large or small The size of the ALLEGED
suction pipe has an influence on the eff
cacy Of the pump only, and so far ms
easy working of the pump is concerned
II would act just as weu if the pine was
one inch in diameter as if it was four
inches. great many persons think that
unless a feed pump is packed very TIGHT
indeed It viii not draw anything, hav-
ing notion that, in some way. the bucket
or plrnger has pull on the water. We
have explained the falsity of this in prev-
ious times, so we need not repeat it, but
II pump barrel is in good order and the
bucket works true in it, very little mack
ing will make it air tight. The fore9ojno I
remarks refer to lifting pumps, so called |
but IN force pumps they do not altogether !

Story of PugI1Ist Sullivan.

A friend tells me a good story Of John
L. Sullivan. Some years ago, when the
redoubtable Boston boy was making a
tour Of the country and marking his
progress with victims of his massive mus
cles, my friend happened to travel some
distance on the same train with him.
When they stopped for supper Sullivan
became an object of interest to the swarm
of people at the station, and after supper.
when he went out on the platform and sat
down to read sporting paper which he
mad bought, mob gathered in a semi
circle at modest distance around him
and stared at him in mute and admirino
wonder. The big man was in good humor
and smiled as he looked at the pictures in
his paper. An Old farmer finally broke
through the line and approached him and
said
"Mr; Sullivan, will you do me
'Why not daddy?" replied the cham
pion, amiably. ''What is itg''
"Let me, " said the ancient agricultur-
ist, feel that there fist of yours"
Sullivan, with one cf his superb, power
ful gestures, put ont his arm, with A
clnched fist at the end of it that would
have filled hat box. The old farmer felt
it all over. The arm held firm, like bar
OF iron, and its owner grinned, while the
crowd began to snicker
An, said the farmer at last. 'sIf Won
was to hit man with that, Mr.. Sullivan.
l guess IL would hurt him. "
That's what they say do, daddv.'
responded the giant, rcsuming his perusal
Of his paper.-Trumble in New York

Old WAY and Modern.

A great many young lawyers come out
Of the law schools every year who find it
difficult for many months 50 make enough
to live on in their profession. 1t is hard
to get money for office rent, hard to keep
the ball rolling or to follow the social cue.
In former days, in the days when all law
yers took their term Of training in some
old lawyers Office, young men were glad
to pay small sum yearly for desk room
and for chance to serve under a wise
head. A legal friend of The Athenian de-
elares that nowadays it is impossible to
ind young man willing to serve an ap-
premiership such as he served, even for
pay. He said he would be glad to give
Office room and reasonable salary to anv
young fedgling who could make himself
useful while gaining years and wisdom.
But, strange to say, it is not possible to
find young lawyer willing to take the
training and money.-Boston Advertiser.
