Demanding His Rights.

There was a class of men in the navy
mot yet quite extincD known as "sea
lawyers, men blessed-or cursed--with
no end of tongue and their own unique
Interpretation of the naval regulations.
On the slightest pretext they desired to
estate their case" to the executive off
Ger. Not unlrequently, however, they
got Roland for their Oliver. One such
man, careless at drill and all other du-
ties, appeared on the quarter deck one
morning to seek his rights. Jacks story
was patiently listened to by the first lieu
tenant, over whose face a grimly humor-
Gus smile occasionally played. Finally,
he asked the man if he had improved in
his Grill. "Yes, sir" was the reply.
Then "AttentioD. Salute. Right about
face. Quick march," were the orders
rapidly given by the smiling officer; and
no further word Of command was ut
tered to bring the astonished man back
to the quarter deck to learn the result of
his eloquence upon the executive au-
thority. Times Democrat.

Preserving Bird Skins.

Some marine fowls arc 50 fat that great
care is required in separating them from
the skin, especially in warm weather,
when the oil or grease is likely to run
over the feathers or later strike through
the skin. To prevent that, while remoy-
ing the skin keep your hands we'll busted
with corn meal or fine sawdust, aud when
the skin has been pushed from the body
scrape off all the fatyou can with a blunt
edged table knife and then apply quaint
ity of powdered white chalk to absorb
what remains. Alum is only preserva-
tive and not an absorbent of oil. When
the chalk has become we'll saturated with
the oily matter and has a greasy appear
ance, scrOpe it off and apply another coat.
The number of applications necessary
will OF course depend upon the quantity
of fat on the skin. When the oil aud
grease has been removed annoint it with
arsenical soap and wash with solution of
corrosive sublimate, as usual with all
kinds OF bird skins before they are stuffed
aud set up.-Neio York SIN.

LIGHTS.

A little lamp can send but brief and feeble
ray,
F, The great lights bravely beam, and their
radiance far away
Is the comfort of the nations and thefurther-
ance of the day.
All men remember when the great lights
were lit,
The day is kept in honor, and they name 1t
as they sit
And watch the guiding flame. thanking and
blessipgit.
But the small and struggling lights which a
breath of storm might kll
Each fain TO .ight continent, but doomed
TO SmallneSs still,
Is there no one to praise them for their
service Of good will:
Yes, one. the Lord of all, who is the source
of light,
lie sees them where they burn in the black
ness of Earth's night,
And the larger and the less alike are pre-
clOuS III Ills Slght.
He is the secret source by which their flames
are fed,
From the beacon's WIDE white ray which
flashes overhead.
To the intermittent ray which the half
spent tapers shed;
And to each he says, well done, which has
bravely sought to burn.
Aud when the dawn ariseth, and each is
quenched in turn,
Absorbed into the perfect day for which
pure spirits yearn;
Each little fame that struggled to make
the night more fair,
Shall find its place in Paradise and burn in
heavenly air,
And the Father of all Lights shall be its well
come there.

Figures on Eggs.

Amet5can imports OF eggs, mostly
SroIa Canada, for the fiscal year ending
with last June, amounted to 1902, ,796
dozen, and the exports to Europe 54S $50
flozen, says the Chicago Tribune. Either
the consumption has decreased or there
mustllsFe been an increase of industry by
the domestic hen over that Of the twelve
n naihs next preceding. The imports
I br shat year were 1913, $50 and the
exports 3SO,SS4. For the last named
weriod Denmark and Germany con-
tributed 365, ,469 and China 12j, 300
dozen, the latter coming for use by Chi
neSe residents of the Pacific slope. About
all the rest came from Canada, half of
them being entered at Buffalo and
Niagara. An egg train once a week
from Ogdensburg, distributing the pro-
duct through New England, is a regular
featpre Of the trade. The United States
census of ten years ago showed home
production Of 457, 900, 900 dozen eggs,
which with the imports gives an average
per capita consumption Of III eggs. If
this rate be preserved the home produc-
tion for the present year will be $780,
900, 900 of dozens from 152, 900, 900
fowls. The computation for this con-
sumption includes the unknown number
which were organized into chickens, so
that the average of nearly one egg every
three days for every man, woman and
child in the United States will be reduced
by the quantity taken from incubation.
This is more than double the egg con-
sumption OF Great Britain, that being
iifty-one eggs per capita, reckoned on
the same basis. The production of that
country is set down as $4,000, 900 and
the import as 10, 900, 900 dozen. Ire
land has nearly half the number Of fowls,
with only one-sixth of the population of
Britain.

Makinu Farm Land Pay.

In Great Britain Isl, 372 farmers cul-
tivate farms of more than five and less
than twenty acres. Comparatively few
of these "holdings," as the farms are
called, are owned by the farmer, for in
the 400, 422 holdings of less than fifty
acres in the whole country only 55, 74O
are owned by the occupiers. When we
remember that these farmers pay a rental
of from s25 to $50 per acre for this land
it seems incredible that they can live and
support their families. 1t must be re-
membered, too, that much Of this land
has been under cultivation for over one
thousand years. Much more of it was
bog and waste land four hundred years
ago. 1t is an axiom with the English
that the farmer makes his soil. This is
the secret of his ability to live under such
circumstances. The American farmer
grows poor on many acres because it
might be maxim with us that the far
mer wastes his soil.- Western StOckmda
