Ever since the first hen cackled. eggs
have been sold by the dozen, and many
people still believe tina, this is much the
better way to dispose of them. One Of our
grocers recently weighed twelve small eggs
and the same number of large ones. He
found that the first dozen weighed one pound
two ounces, while those of larger dimensions
uPped the scale at one pound eleven, or just
one-half again As much as the others.
Though this is far less than the average
difference, still the experiment illustrates
ue variable quantity of food which . dozen
Of eggs may represent. In many portions Of
me vest, eggs are already sold BY weight
and it seems merely . question Of time when
me change shall b universal.

Monday morning and entirely consumed

was occupied by +. j. Bullock as IA dwell

clerks who barely escaped in their night
clothes, having been almost suffocated be

the barking of dog in the building From
this building the fire went 10 Mr.. Bullock's

recently been vacated, and was entirely
consumed. The town hall and 5 ID. Kel-
