SOME FACTS ABOUT EGGS.
Matching Chickens by the Million In Egypt
for American StomacIis.

for American Stomachs.
The Egyptians are, however. far in
advance of us in the science of raising
chickens, and the incubating establish
ments of the country hatch out eggs by
the million every year. At u Matching
establishment hear the Pyramids the
farmers trade fresh eggs for young
chicks and the rate is two eggs per chick.
Another artificial egg hatchery turns
500, 900 ont little chickens every season
and the oven crop of chickens in Egypt
amounts. according to figures furnished
me by the Consul-General, to more
than twenty millions of chickens
year.
We have about two hundred million
dollars worth of money in the fowl in
dustry in the United States, an amount
SO large that all the money of Jay
Gould could not equal it, and still we
have to import more than sixteen
million dozens of eggs every year. If
America would adopt the Egyptian
Matching system we could sell eggs in
stead of buying them and our farmers
might buy little chickens TO raise at a
price of 20 cents dozen. More than
twenty millions of little chickens are
sold each year in this way in Egypt
and there is a regular business in
chickens just old enough to walk.
The incubatories are rude, one-story
buildings, made of undried bricks, so
arranged that the eggs are laid upon
cut straw in racks in rooms, around the
ovens. which are kept fired OH during
the Matching season. The outside
walls are very thick and are built so
that they retain heat, and the only
thermometer used Is the blood of the
boy or man who attends to the fires.
By long practice these men learn just
how hot the ovens ought to be kept,
and they replenish the fires as the
weather demands. A small amount of
fuel is needed. and the temperature of
the ovens is about that of 9S degrees
above zero. The fire is built up for
eight or ten days before the eggs are
put in. to thoroughly warm the hut,
and after this time it does not go out
during the season, which is from March
until May. The eggs are turned four
times day while Matching. The

matches over two hundred thousand
chickens year does not, l am told.

PERHAPS MISTAKEN.

The Republican papers that have been
sorudely consigning the statemakers in
New Mexico to the bOwwOws are look
ing at the situation little more closely,
and doubts are arising in their minds as
to whether they may not have been
hasty. They find that in the constitu-
tional convention at Santa Fe there is
but one Democrat. Some others were
elected. but they were badly in the
minority and staid away, intending to
fight the state scheme. They have APP
parently been put in chaneery by the
Republicans. The latter, it is presumed,
will be able to manipulate the districts
so as to control the legislature in case of
admission. Should they send up to the
senate STEVE ELKINs and another in
corrigible patriot. it would be awkward
for the Republicans to do the somersault
act and find that the state is really en-
titled to admission. 1t would be pru-
dent for them to watch the situation a
little as it unfOldS.

A JUST COMPLAINT.

At the recent meeting of the National
Press association at Detroit, Hon. E. A.
SNIvELY, one of the oldest and ablest
newspaper men of Illinois. in his adj
dress strongly presented point of spe-
cial interest to the country newspaper
office. He held that the postal depart
ment was needlessly interfering with a
branch of their traffic in printing envel-
Opes for business men with a virtual
advertising feature. Under the present
administration there is also announced
a combination that includes the inside
stationery. 1t is urged that the postal
department, in its enormous business,
can do this work and furnish the sta
tiOnery cheaper than local dealers and
country printing offices. That is evil
IDENTIFY true. 1t the government should
60 into the clothing business, and, by
way of Illustration. operate through
WANAMAKER's store in Philadelphia,
there is no doubt that it could undersell
any smaller dealers, an all the postmas-
tiers of the country could be solicit
ing agents. 1t is not intimated that
this is more than theory, but it would
have the further palpable advantage
that the stamp of the good wanna
MAKER would be assurance of quality
and absence of shoddy. Still, it is not
believed that the government will 90

THE RACE QUESTION.

People with light heads are not con-
fined to any color or race. They are
found i'll most sections. the Northwest,
perhaps, coming nearest to exception
from the imputation. At that conven-
ton of cololed Baptists held at Indian
apOliS, there was one fellow who, like
distinguished citizen and warrior now
retiring from public station, had bad
mouth. He figures as Rev. JOHN WILL
IAMS, and evidently wanted it under
stood that he was a light of the church
militant" When his mouth flew open
this sort of ludicrouS brayadO came out:
do you know that one negro can scare
a dozen white people? Garry pistol,
and use it on the slightest pretenSe."
1t is a misfortune to a church, whether
its membership is white or black, when
that sort of ignorant bully is allowed
in the pulpit. This is particularly
the case with the cOlOred people, as
they are impulsive and unretlecting.
This was illustrated at the Indianapolis
gathering. A preacher from Mississippi,
Rev. L. l.. JORDAN, who had level
head and Christian spirit, had intro
duced and secured the passage of
resolution urging that ''cOlOred people
should cultivate a friendly relation
with those among whom they live"
One of the fire-eaterS came to the front
later, and, by his passionate appeals. i'll
duced the body to recall this sensible
resolution and lay ii on the table. The
Mississippi members, however, stood
with their leader, and insisted upon
being recorded as opposed to violence.
Much of the bad feeling that makes it
so easy for collisions to occur in
the more equally mixed regions is
due to the teachings of bad, ig-
norant preachers. State Senator
WALLACE, of Florida, a Republican
and very rational colored man, in writ
ing of the relations of the races, says:
''The greatest enemy of our people pro-
ceeds from the house of God. Numbers
of ignorant and immoral men have in
vaded the pulpits of our churches, and
are using the livery of heaven to serve
the devil in" There is encouragement,
however, in the growing intelligence of
the cOlored people and the increasing
number of men like WALLACE and the
Mississippi members of the Indianapolis
convention. The Southern people should
aid, as they have opportunity to provide
the negro ministry with educated men,
who will teach the real principles of
Christian living. The colOred popula-
ton of the South Will remain. No
migratory schemes will ever cut much
figure. The best friends of either race
are those who would promote amity and
kindly relations.

BLACK HILLS TIN.

That there is tin in the Black Hills
has not been in question for long
time with those who have cared to eX-
anime the evidence, yet it is stated that
recently one of the brightest news
paper men in New York made a tour
out there to look into the matter, set
ting out with the theory that there was
no tin there. He made a thorough in
SpecttOn with all the scientific and ex-
pert aid to be had. and was astonished
at the richness of the deposits. He
publishes his belief that ''there is as
much tin in the Black Hills as there
ever was in the old Cornwall mines,
and they were worked by the Romans"
There have been lntimations that
foreign tin interests were manipulating
the situation to prevent the develop
ment of the Black Hills mines. This is
perhaps a suspicion only. There are
great possibilities for the Black Hills in
its tin ore

A DIEETCTI,T IOR

1t is given out that swarm of Re-
publican spellbinderS are to be turned
loose in the Dakotas the last few days
of the campaign, and that their special
theme will be the protection plank of
their platform, in which they come up
to the Pennsylvania Standard. The
fact that this is to be the chief labor
shows that the popular mind is getting
into the drift of the times, and that the
farmers are beginning to see that they
are reaping no advantage from the
taxes they are paying to give wealthy
manufacturers East a bonus. The
farmer gets no bonus. The duties on
what he produces do him no good, as
nothing to speak of is imported. He
does not get cent more for his wheat
if the duty is 20 cents or 100 cents. Pro-
lection means advantage to one class at
the expense of another. 1t probably
requires a good deal of sophistry and
air beating to persuade the intelligent
Dakota farmer that he should continue
to be 4 pack horse,

DAKOTA JUDGES.

AS well as they can be Identified, both
parties in the Dakotas are putting up
very capable and substantial men for the
higher judicial offices, although it would
be better if they could be kept off party
tickets. In the Fargo district the in
cumbent of the past four years, Judge
MCCONNELL, is in the field as all in
dependent, and would, but for partisan
feeling, be continued by general con-
sent as a tribute to faithful and i'm
partial service. The Republicans have
antagoniZed him with Attorney NEW
MAN, the present mayor of Fargo, who
was elected in opposition to the Re
publican ticket. and as somewhat of a
mugwump. He is, however, a man of
excellent qualifications, and can only be
assailed as the candidate of partisans.
But the people of the Dakotas have
good deal of independence in their vot-
ing. and will be apt to indicate ii in vot-
ing for judges.

Foreign Flashes.

Captain Stors has been sent on mission to
the German anti-slavery society to arrange
with that society to join the Belgian anti
on Lake Tangonyika and erecting trading
stations on the shores of the lake to divert
the ivory trade from Mombassa. The Ger
man government will not favor the project.
The German emperor and empress will
meet King Humbert at Mongaon Oct IA and
will remain there two days. They will then
go to Genoa and embark for Naples, where
they will remain one week incognitO, prob
abably sleeping aboard the German Imperial
yacht HohenZollern. From Naples they will
go TO Athens.
1t is reported that Count Schonvalof, the
Russian ambassador to Berlin, has been ap-
pointed governor of the Caucasus and that
he will be succeeded as ambassador by
Prince Dondonkoff- Korsakoff Such
change, it is thought will not be conducive
to the maintenance of peace.

says he thinks that i'll the coming election in

the Anti Republicans from 2l0 to $50 seats;
but he admits the utter hopelessness of pre-
dictions.

NORTH DAKOTA CANDIDATES.

The Democrats in North Dakota have
peculiar good fortune in their candidate
for governor. Hon. w. n. ROACH. He
is one of the early settlers, and prac-
trical farmer, who entered his land and
developed it into a productive farm.
His interests are more especially those
of the land tillers, although the Repub-
lican candidate, Mr.. MILLER, seems to
have been designated by the alliance
element of his party. Mr.. MILLER has
charge of one of the big 60.0O0-acre farms,
owned almost entirely by a syndicate of
non resident capitalists, most of them
said to be Englishmen. Such bonanza
farms are one of the greatest drawbacks
to the most productive portion of North
Dakota. They buy everything in the
East and ship all their products there,
affordng no benefit to the country, but
preventing its filling up with small
farmers. But these are transient incl
dents, as the land will be sold and the
people in charge return to their homes
i'm the East.
