EGGS OF THE OsTRIcH.-The egg Of ibe
ostrich is equal in weight and nutrition to
about dozen hens eggs, and Que often is
ound that will weigh four pounds. The tia-
vor is similar to that of the ordinary hens
egg, and an omeette made Of them could
not be detected. ihe Iudiau mode of cook
ing the egg is peculiar The TYP is broken
open, part Of the white poured of, herbs
stirred in with the remainder sad the Shell
is placed in live Goals, where il is kept until
the contents are cooked hard. One egg con-
tains sufficient nourishmeut for Two or three
hearty men The Indians bring quantities
of them to Puenta Arenas, where they are
used by the citizens and are sold to the
stewards of passing ships for food or TO the
passengers to take home for curiosilies.
There is great risk in purchasing them,
however, as the shells 0re so thick as to pre-
vent test of their condition. A foul egg
will sink in water like good egg of the or
binary hen, and when it is broken the stencil
is sufficient to destroy the peace of a whole

people lave ever estimated the value OF the
fuel which feeds the sawmill furnaces in the
form OF sawdust, which moves directly from
the saw to the fiery gulf into which it is
dropped by the automatic sawdust feeders
In the mills. Rating it at the price it would
bring provided it could be saved in the form
of inch lumber one would stand appalled, at
the figures -,
For every million feet of lumber piled on
The docks, coming from the circular saw,
about 200, 600 feet of the hest portion OF the
timber passes into the "iery furnace as
fuel. in tho form OF sawdust. Or. to make 1t
more comprehensive, 10 The YER 1852 the
mills on the Saginaw river cut over ,OOO :
OOOOOO feet of white pine lumber, which wss
the turning point in the output.
During that year 200,000,00o feet OF piHe
timber passed into She seethins fecepiacles
which produced steam, ard was consumed
for fuel. Suppose we estimate the cost,

TRADE REVIEW.

X. G. Dun & Co.'S Report on the Week.
Business.
NEW YORK, February 17.-R. G. Dun
& Co. in their weekly review of trade, say
1t cannot be said that business has changed
for better or worse during the past week
Causes of recent dullness and of fdepressior
in markets become more clearly visible
severe weather, prolonged strikes, and re-
action from last years over-hopefulness
being prominent.
The markets continue unusually stag
nant and prices vary but little ON the
whole. The dry goods market shows great
strength in cottons, though prices in many
qualities are already high enough for one
cent further advance in raw cotton; there
is talk OF further advances. The demand
tor woolens continues moderate, though
better than it was; and wool is firm, bat
buyers are still unusually cautious.
The consumption Of pig iron last year
exceeded 6,sO0,0O0 tons, and Of all iron,
domestic and foreign, over 8, 100, 600 tons.
But the shrinkage Of 10000 tons weekly
in production barely keeps prices steady,
and on bar iron q cut by large Westero O
establishment reflects the shrinkage in de-
mand. Prices are now $3.50 lower than
a year ago for pig, Sc for bar, Sc to 81 tol
plates and 81 for rails. Added to the
light demand as a cause of weakness there
is the statement that the committees
tariff bill will reduce duties on ore to sc
cents, on pig to $4 so and on rails to $ll.
The business failures during the last
seven days number for the United States
236, for Canada 81, total 273. as compared
with 2s9 last week and 267 for the cor
responding week last year.

Representatives of the demi-monde were
there and the respectable girls were few,
while the men were mainly sports and
plug -uglys who are well known in the city.
The decent people who were taken in, II
any there were, left early, and the orches-
ira engaged to make the music also de-
camped.
Some Of the roughs got boozed up pretty
we'll, and it is alleged that Jimmy Cahill
became enraged at q wellknown courte-
san, and fired several beer glasses at her.
Charles McManaway about this time took O
hand in the fight, presumably taking the
girls part, when jim Craig tackled him
and used penknife to such coed effect
that Mc cManaway was cut in several places,
although not seriously. The fight then
became general, and as fast as the dis.
turbers were q ed out the front door they
re entered at the aide door.
Some of the men and women at last got
enough and skipped, and those who had no
other means Of reaching the city, walked
in. Among these was Craig and several Of
his friends. The proprietor Of the hall
was imposed upon, st is said be did not
know the gang he was renting the place to.
