SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS.

There are seventeen southern repub-
licans in congress, and It is reported
that they intend to unite on the speak
ership contest so as to command a
fair share of the patronage of the house
under the new organization, and also
that they will oppose the candidacy OF
any man opposed to the Blair bill and
the repeal of the internal revenue.
There is no doubt that if they stand
as unit they possess some chance OF
making dicker, but if they are not
wiser and more fortunate than
when they recommended and
voted for Malone for cabinet position
under Harrison they are not likely to
meet with much success.
McComas. of Maryland; and Houk, OF
Tennessee, are the leaders among the
southern republicans.

NEW ENTERPRISES.

Almost every day new enterprises
of one character or another are being
started in this city and surrounding
locality, and business in consequence
naturally continues in most healthy
activity.
The West End furnace has been fol-
lowed by the formation of companies
for the erection OF carriage
factory, plant for the manutac-
ture of engines, and other industries,
and the bridge factory, rolling mill
and machine works all contemplate en-
larging their capacity TO keep up with
the demands of their business.
New lard companies also continue
to be organized, and additional subur-
ban property graded and laid off into
streets.

SHOULD THERE BE = CHANGE.


The question Of making some change
in the ballot system OF the state has
rscei7ed considerable attention recently
from tho press and prominent public
officials, and it is quite probable that
at the next session of The legislature
some action will be taken on the pro-
position of whether it is wise or not
to modify the present law upon the
basis of the Australian system.
This system has been growing in
favor very rapidly in the United States
sinca The Decentralization election
Of 1855. many eastern aud western
States having adopted it, either wholly
or in part.
II Australia where the great major
ity, if not all of the citizens,are intelli-
gent enough to be able to read, the
Law is no doubt good one, but it is
still a question whether it would be
wise to adopt it in the Southern States,
with their anomalous race condition,
and the illiteracy of so many men
who, Notwithstanding this, have always
been permitted 10 exercise the elective
franchise.
II is true that if the law was adopted
IN Virginia it would mean the disfran-
chisement of by far the majority of
the colored vote, but it would also
mean the disfranchisement Of large
par cent. of the white vote, whose mis-
fortune it has been never to have
learned to read. To adopt the Aus
-,ralian system IS virtually to
require an educational qualification,
as each voter is made to secure
and deposit his ballot alone and unat-
tended.
To al, intelligent enough to distiu-
guish the name Of one candidate from
another the system would give the
freest and fairest expression, but
those who could not do this would be
just as apt to vote for the opposition
as for the man Of their choice.
There is no doubt that the present
system of balloting is not a perfect
one, but it remains 10 be seen how far
it should and can be improved.
Senator Daniel is quoted as saying
that any system that gives the demo
cratic party such a majority as was
given for Mckinney is good enough TO
be continued, but another prominent
democrat replies that the same system
which gave such large majority
against Malone came very near carry
ing the state for Harrison in 1888.
This question and the debt question
will be among the most important
the legislature will have to act upon,
and the result of their deliberations
will be awaited with interest.

4 Scrap of Paper Saves Her Life.

1t was just an ordinary scrap of
wrapping paper, but it saved her life.

time: she weighed less than
seventy pounds. On piece OF
wrapping paper she read of

a sample bottle. 1t helped her, she
bought large bottle, it helped her
more, bought another and grew bet

This Is Abont Eggs.

A man busily engaged in holding eggs
up before the candle attracted the atten.
tion of reporter in Third avenue, near
Forty. seventh street, the other evening.
An interview was the result and here it
is: S.
"What are you doing 2"
Gambling eggs. You see, / pick up
each egg and hold it before the candle.
The light shines through it. I can see at
glance whether it is cracked or speckled
or spoiled. Ifit is cracked, set 1t aside
to be sold at low price. Bakers and
confecLioners and some prudent families
buy cracked eggs, and theyare as good as
any eggs not cracked; but they must be
used within twenty four hours"
"Is that not an old fashioned way OF
testing eggs 2"
"Yes; ;@Dut experience proves it to be
the best, and it is quick. AN expert can
handle 10000 eggs a day. 1t has been
tried to test eggs by water. a good egg
will sink and bad egg will float, but
you cannot find out speckled egg that
way"
"What makes spleckled eggs2"
"Lying in one position. An egg should
not be left many days in one position. If
an gg;is turned every day it will keep 9
long time. An experiment was once
tried by D. H. Dennis, president of the
Duches County Creamery, as to how long
an egg can be kept good. he kept one
on bis desk nine months, and turned it
every day, and kept it good" ."9s
Glow long are the best eggs kept before
they get upon the tables Of the best
hotels ?"
at takes about four days, because they
are bought in bulk in the country, and
must be carefully assorted before being
placed on the market"
"How are imported eggs kept from
spelling on voyage"
"They are carefully watched and
turned. They come in cases easy to han.
die, and an expert soon learns to handle
them quickly. Itadds about quarter Of
a cent dozen to the cost, but we can pay
that and the freight and yet sell the eggs
that come from France and Germany
cheaper than we can sell Western eggs
and some think they are better. We can
pet; them here in about twelve days from
France. England also gets many eggs
from Germany and France. IN. Y. San.

Poultry Pointers.

The first desideratum In winter is
warmth.
A small hen will lay as large eggs
as will heavy hen, and requires less
room
Endeavor to keep hens instead of
pullets, as the eggs will then be more
uniform.
The sitting breeds will lay as we'll
in winter as the. sitters if they are kept
warm and comfortable.
Never use stale eggs for nest eggs.
Nest-egg gourds are best. A single stale
egg many ruin your reputation.
Nevership an egg that is dirty or in
any manner soiled. The appearance is q
prime factor in the sale Of any article.
A flock may be composed ofsome ofthe
best layers to be found, yet the average
number Of eggs secured may be low.
Do not construct poultry. house for
your own convenience. The ponltry7;.
house should be- built with a view: Of
promoting the comfort of the fowls, and
keeping them in aproper condition for
laying.
Birds always prefer the open air.
They do not favor remaining indoors,
no matter how clean and bright the
poultry house may be.
The non-sitting breeds are Leghorns,
Hamburgs, Red Caps, Miuorcas, Black
Spanish, Polish, Houdaus, Creveeurs
and La Fleches.
Economy ia always commendable.
Economy in constructing poultry house
means that you should secure the greatest
space on the floor at the1saat cost. S. S.
When'egg production lalone is your
object You need no omales.z The hens will:
lay as we'll without them sometimes
better), and the eggs will keep three
times as long,
Ifa hen lays one egg q week she will
pay all expenses of keep. Every egg
is profit. The greater the number of
eggs secured the lower the cost of each
egg proportionally.
Always assort your eggs. Do not
have several colors and sizes together.
Put the dark eggs in one basket and the
.lightone in another, and pick out small
ones to be sold separately.-Fanciers Re-

"Allright, I will help you, as I want

The child was transferred to the arms
of the sturdy English dude, who pushed
his way through the crowd and in a few
minutes had reached the middle of the
avenue. Looking around for the mother,
she was nowhere to be seen and the
Englishman started for the place where
he had left her. He was stopped by a

and said he would have to 60 the "other

"Wiil you please take the infant, then i;
its mother is lost ?"
"Now, young feller, you can't give me
any story like that" was the reply.
Just at this moment the infant set up
loud howl, its tears running down the
neck of its protector as it hung about his
shoulders, and the crowd at the SAME
time awoke to an appreciation of the
scene. There were cries of Hi, Jimmie,
