FACTS ABOUT EGGS.

New York Ledger.
All the world and his cosmopolitan
wife and family like new-laid eggs. MOI
do we depreciate their taste; on the con-
trary, we share it. The relish of eggs is
honorable, and to prefer them fresh
evinces a deep appreciation of the SIT
ness of things" Tradition runneth not
back to the time when eggs, in this
condition, were of evil repute, although
the use of the stale variety as missile
has never been popular with the recipi-
ents Probably the antidiluvians were
fond of eggs, for we are given to under
stand that they feasted high, and what
would banquet be without "the fruit
of the hen?"
That the Egyptians were fond of eggs
is beyond peradventure, for one of our
archeologists brought home with him
from Egypt some doZens,, which had
been at least three thousand years in the
catacombs, having been placed there for
the benefit of the mummies in case they
should wake up and feel peekish. These
eggs, cackled over by the hens that
flourished in the time of the early Phar-
aohs laid, probably, before the children
of Israel made their exodus by way of
the Red Sea-we have seen, and many
of them are as perfect externally as if
they had been broughtin in market yester-
day; but although Egyptian wheat of
the same date is said to have germinat-
ed and reproduced itself, we are not
aware that any of the eggs of that ilk
have been set upon and hatched.
The Chinese are the greatest egg eat
ers in the world. They raise more poul-
try than all the other nations of the
earth taken together, and have way of
keeping eggs for forty years or more in
a sound condition. The older the eggs
