The Egg fin Paris.

The Paris egg is the greatest of all mys- teries, not so much for its sacred qualities as among the ancients, or for the strange germ of life that exists within it which has con- siderably worried modern scientists It Is life principle which it contains sometimes indeed disturbs, in a non-scientific way, the digestion of the purchaser. To the Ameri- can an egg is either fresh or 1t is nothing; that is it is nothing but an abomination. As an edible it is of such extreme delicacy that it does not know, and can not know, degrees of excellence. When it is not the very vir- gin purity of freshness it is fit for nothing but to be thrown at an unpopular orator or to be assigned to the tender care of that sym bol of maternal patience, the setting hen.
 It is not so in Paris There the theory is quite different. The Paris egg loses its fresh, ness, the line of demarkation between the yolk and the white becomes confused, there is an active generation of sulphureted hydro gen if it is kept in a warm place, or the germ of life slowly but surely merges into the flesh, bones and down of the incipfent fowl. Still 1t does not lose its financial value. The best eggs, and they areAsually good, are sold for boiling at three or four sous apiece This is the standard. Then comes the second quality in which decomposition has just commenced, but is imperceptible except to fastidious per sons, who object on principle to chemical changes in their food. As to other grades and qualities which the customer sees dis tributed in various places about the shop their price is not fixed.-Albert Sutliffe in Sar Francisco Chronicle.

Too Much Revenue.

So far as the necessity for tax reduction is concerned it does not mako the slight est difference whether the surplus for the current year will be SIS, 100000 or $109, 900, ,000.
 The public will accept the estimates of the heads of the treasury department In favor of the larger sum, rather than the guesses of defenders of the war tariff in- tent on preventing Q reduction of taxes.
 The undisputed fact that the govern ment is collecting $40, ,000,0 900 of revenue is reason enough for reduction, The legitimate needs Sf economic administra- ton do not require over $250, ,000, 900. That the expenditures run up to $330,- 000,0 ,000 only proves that the politicians have an unlimited capacity for spending the peoples money.
 The only way to restore the government to the economic principle that should con tgol it is to cut down the revenue. A sur. plus breeds extravaganza. It is mon. strous doctrine that there Is no need for tax reduction so long as congress can spend the surplus or the treasury can work it off in paying high premiums tc bondholders.-New York World.

New york's nIayoralty Fight Will Re
 dound to MT. Cleveland's Advantage.
 ''I think the administration is perfectly secure on the issue. It Is not to be denied that upon,the Democrats falls the respon- sibility of making converts, responsi- bility which Is inevitably disastrous where the principle involved is a wrong one. But, on the other hand the laborers of the country are paying Q closer attention than ever before incur national history to questions of domestic economy. 1have found the same interest manifested in every section, west and east. He is an unappreciative pessimist who seeks to deny that, given the advantage of raw materials, our American workmen could sidetrack the entire world. Our annual importation of $45, ,000, GOO worth of wooden cloths is as unnecessary as it is nationally expensive"
 :.'Wil the local competition ill the mayoralty politics of New York affect the current of the national campaignY"
 ITO be sure; but it will be to Cleve- lands advantage. This is no idle guess. The fight between Tammany and the County Democracy is going to grow so bitter and sharp that at least between 15,- 900 and 20, GOO will be added to the total city vote. These will be drawn from the regular stay at home contingent. Now, there IS little tact worthy or notice, which so far has been generally over looked. The fight comes solely upon the mayoralty issue. I have taken pains to observe that outside of that the Empire State Democracy is united. Look, for in stance, at the congressional districts. There Is no contention of the elements. A nomination made by either the County or Tammany Democracy has been re- spected and acquiesced in by the other fac tions. Of course. you arc bright enough to see the signifcahce of that. Cleveland will inevitably capture the entire increase in the party vote, on whichever side it may be-"
 You are confident, then, that Cleve- land will carry that state?"
 Decidedly; there is no doubt of it felt at headquarters. ."-Inrerview with MT. Barnum in New York World.

MT. Darnelle,s Reasonable Request

''It is so sudden, MT. Darnelle."
 1T know it is" responded the young man gently.
 He stood before her with his weight resting easily on one foot, his left elbow on the man. telpiece, his right arm behind him, and his whole attitude one of careless, unstudied ease and grace acquired only by long and patient practice.
 II know it is," he repeated Measured by ordinary standards and by the cold conven- tionalities of society, it is indeed sudden. We have known each other only twenty -four hours. Until twenty-fve minutes after 6 o'clock last night neither of us had ever heard of the other Yet with the heart one day is as hundred years Could we have known one another better, darling" be went on with a tremor in his cultivated B flat baritone voice, Eff we had attended the theatre, the concert the church, and the oyster parlor together for a dozen seasonss Does not your heart beat responsive to mine?"
 II will not pretend to deny, Mir. Darnelle, ,' replied the young lady, with q rich blush mantling her cheek and brow, "that your avowal moves me strangely"
 II knew it-I felt it." he responded eagerly. "Love is not the slow, vegetable like growth of years. It does not move in its course with the measured, leisurely step of a man work ing by the day. It springs up like mushr- like an electric flash. It takes instant posses sion. It needs not the agonized coaNng of of young mans first chin whiskers, my darling. It is here! You will forgive my presumption, will you not, and speak the words that tremble on your hps-the words that will fill my cup of joy to overfowing3'
 The evening had passed like beautiful dream. MT, Darnelle, admonished by the clock that it was time to go. had risen re luctantly to his feet and stood holding the hand of his beautiful betrothed.

The Apple fin Love Matters.

In Scotland and ill England the apple is a very popular divining medium in love mat ters. Part of this popularity is probably due to the common notion that the tree of knowledge of good and evil was an apple tree. Horace mentions the use of apple pips in love affairs. A lover would take a pip be- tween tho finger and thumb and shoot it up to the ceiling, and if it struck 1t, his or her wish would be accomplished. Nowadays a maiden tests the fidelity of her beloved by putting pip in the fire, at the same time pronouncing his name If the pip bursts with report, it Is a sign that he loves her, but should 1t burn silently, she is convinced of his want of true affection for her. This is often performed with nuts instead of pips
 Gay mentions the common amusement of pairing an apple without breaking the peel and then throwing the strip over the left shoulder, In order to see the initial letter of the lovers name formed by the shape the pairing takes upon the ground. This Is often one of the many divinations duly practiced on Halloween or All Saints eve. Another way at the same season is for the curious maiden to stand before looking glass comb ing her hair with one hand and eating an apple held in tho other; the face of the future husband will then be seen in the glass looking over her left shoulder
 Mrs. Latham, in her Sussex Supersti- tions," lgives another apple charm Every person present fastens an apple Ion string hung and twirled round before hot fire, The owner of the apple that first falls off Is declared to be upon the point of marriage, and as they fall excessively, the order in which the rest of the party will attain to matrimonial honors is clearly indicated, single blessedness being the lot of the one whose apple is the last to drop. ."-Chambers's Journal

Use of Paragraph Signs.

Writers for newspapers should use para graph signs freely in their copy. Themarks do not disfigure the manuscript at all, and they make it clear at a glance to the com positor where paragraphs are to be made No harm is done if two signs arc used, one at the end and another at the beginning of the paragraph that follows. In writing matter to be sent by telegraph, 1t is essential that the paragraph signs should be inserted, and a note should be written at the top of the first page of the copy instructing the operator to ''send ' signs as indicated" When this is done the matter will go through In much better shape than if no such care is taken "W.

 One of the features of the trip was the challenge to debate the tariff, on four hours notice, with Republicans anywhere on the route.
 Democratic flags were given out to passing canal boats and to small shops and stores along the line,

A CURIOUS INVENTION.
Professor PaxsalI, of the Royal Society
 Manufactures . Human Voice.

Manufactures a Human Voice.
 After alluding to the improved 2hono- graph, Professor Paxsan goes on to say: "It immediately struck me that the waxed cylin- der might solve my problem, and here my experiments with photographs from the microscope, and also (by an odd coincidencel in engraving, stood me in good stead. I pressed all my friends and acquaintances into service, and in the course of q month from the time Edison sent me the machine I had more than 500 cylinders covered with talk from all manner of mems and women's voices, not to speak of musical instruments and other sources of sound. Then spent two months in carefully examining all the rec ordS with microscope, and making magni- fled photographs of many of them. By com pairing these ascertained an important fact that human voices, infinite though they be in variety of timbre, differ from one another according to fixed law or ratio, very simple in itself. The sound elements of any given voice can readily be analysed or combined by this law.
 '"Now comes my little invention. Of course on the phonograph cylinder sounds and in tonations are represented by lines of varying depth, etc. l first studied and made tabu- lated diagrams of, the alphabet-if I may so term it-of these lines. There are two con- stituents here-one, the line representing the word itself, as man, and the other, the modi- fcations in that line affected by the timbre of voice of the particular person uttering it. My alphabet, as it turns out, is not nearly so intricate or long as you might suppose; the vowels, of course, are easy; the utterance we give to the consonants is more complicated; {; and then, as I said. the human equation is a separate consideration.
 'All being ready, imagined certain voice, and then set to work to make it Us ing the first sentence of Milton's Paradise Lost" as my corpus vilum, I constructed 1t lin the first instance) on paper on n large scale, modifying the required lines according to my alphabet. 1 next made fine etched copy of this on copper, using large magni- flying glass As this was still too coarse, photographed the etching to the proper scale on sheet of wax, and then carefully rolled the wax on an ordinary photograph cylinder. Upon fitting the cylinder to the instrument, and applying the recorder, I had the pleasure of listening to the words ''Ot mans first disobedience," etc, pronounced by a voice of which was myself the manu. facturer! Its correspondence with the voice had conceived was almost exact, After ward, 1 produced musical compositions by the same means; and it is, perhaps, in this direction that the idea will be chiefly practi- cal.

IT SWEPT EVERYTHING.

The Novel Device Employed by tho In-
 Genious Democrats of New York State.
 The New York State league of Demo- cratic clubs not long ago successfully de- veloped an original, effective and pie turesque idea. Tho gallant canal boat, Thomas Jefferson was fitted up, loaded with campaign literature, and started of, , in charge of Q competent crew, on a grand campaign trip through the Erie canal from Buffalo to Albany. The novel. cruise began at Buffalo with great success not long ago, all the local Democratic organ izations turning out, with fireworks and music, to see the start of the expedition. Several prominent Democrats made speeches, and amidst rousing cheers the tug David B. Hill lowed off the Demo- cratic ark
