IhE EGG lNuusTRY.
World Owes n Large Debt 20 the Modest
But InhustrIous Zen.


Chicago owes large deb: 70 the hen.
considering the fact that the city con-
sumes from IS to SIS worth of eggs
every minute Last year Chicago used
the enormous amount Of 313,542, 900
eggs.
The magnitude of the egg product of
the United States is vaguely under
stood by those not directly in the
trade. The leading cities OF the coun-
try consumed 10000. 900 dozens last
year. Laying them end to end they
would form line 170,454 miles long.
In other words, they would stretch
around the world over seven times, and
would go around it once forming q
band fourteen inches wide. The prod
uct handled for daily consumption last
year at an average price of Il cents
dozen makes total of over SlOO, ,OOO,-
600, while the value of the wheat crop
was less than $500, 100000.
Eggs are used in many ways that the
general public seldom thinks of. II
the hen should stop laying not only
would the gourmand suffer. but the
arts would come in for large share Of
hardship. The number of eggs used
by photographers, artists. painters and
paper hangers, bookbinders and chem
lists. and in the mechanical arts in gen.
eral. is something enormous.
Even the poor, despised bad egg has
come to be necessity for certain uses
other than those of the stage. \ few
years ago it was discovered that the
yolk and decayed parts made the finest
of preparations for finishing leather.
When properly worked up The bad egg
is barreled and sent 70 France, Ger
many and other countries, to say
nothing Of large quantities used at
home. 1t has become Indispensable to
morocco and kid dressers as well as 20
glove manufacturers. The proportion
of bad eggs coming into Chicago has
been reduced to q minimum since the
Gambling system has come iEtO vogue.
This has been reduced TO almost a
science Experts are required for the
work. Before being shipped TO the
city markets the eggs are taken into
dark room and examined III front OF
candle. BY this means any spots show
ing signs of decay are discovered and
only good ones are sent to market,
thus saving the freight on poor stock,
while the housewife is saved annoy
ance.
In the early DAYS OF the commercial
history of eggs farmers employed prim-
tive methods for the preservation of
eggs in store for the winter months,
when the supply is almost cut off and
the market price abnormally high. In

THAT was like following the brook
to the parent lake. He makes but one
curious but profound remark. 1t is
that the chief proof of mans real great
ness lies in his perception of his own
smallness. 1t argues, you see, power of
comparison and of appreciation which
is in itself proof of nobility. There is
much food for thought in Richter. You

1T is just possible that we may need
something of the sort if we get into

volver as he spoke, and, having loaded
two of the chambers, he put it back
into the right hand pocket of his jacket.
We had, during this time, been fol-
lowing the guidance of Toby down the
halt. rural, villa-lined roads which lead
to the metropolis Now, however, we
were beginning to come among contin-
uous streets, where laborers and dock
nen were already astir, and slatternly
women were taking down shutters and
brushing doorsteps. At the square
topped corner public houses business
was just beginning, and rorgh-loolling
men were emerging, rubbing their
sleeves across their boards after their
morning wet. Strange dogs sauntered
up, and stared wonderingly ut US as we
passed. but our inimitable Toby looked
neither 70 the right nor 70 the left, but
trottcd onwards with his rose to the
ground and al occasional eager whine,
which spoke of Il hot scent.
We had traversed Streatham, Brix-
ton. Camberwell, and now found our
selves in Remington lane, having
borne away through the side streets
to the east of the Oval. The men
whom we pursued seemed to have taken
n curiously zigzag road. with the idea
probably of escaping observation. They
had never kept to the main road if a
parallel side street would serve their
turn. At the foot OF Remington lane
they had edged away to the left through
Bond street and Miles street. Where
the latter turns into Knights place
Tobey ceased to advance, but began to
ruu backwards and forwards with one
ear cooked and the other dropping, the
very picture of canine indecision. Then
he waddled round in circles, looking
up TO US from time TO time, as if to ask
for sympathy in his embarrassment.

officers duty to set up the wine and re-
fresnments on the semi-publie occasions
in question. So it is always. These
foreigners, too, are used to the very best
end most expensive wines and cigars,
and the officers of the American navy
cannot deceatly return their hospitality
with inferior entertainment. 1t is un-
fortunate that international customs
are so expensive; but we must take
facts as we find them. We should have
national pride in maintaining our part
of comfy, without taxing our public
servants. If we can't dress and live as
other nations do. we should fall TO the
rear and make no pretensions.
John c. New, of Indiana, the strong
and warm political friend of President
Harrison, declined the position of envoy
extraordinary AID minister plenipo-
tentiary to Great Britain, and accepted
the secondary position of consul gen.
eral. because the more honorable posi-
ton would have paid but S17.5OO per
annu1a. and the expenses amount to
more than $4,000 dollars year. He
preferred to be made consul general to
England, because there was money in
the latter Office, whereas to be minister
would have ruined him. For, pray, re-
member, the consul generalship at Lon
don is worth something like O,000 a
year, Without any of the expensive So
cial obligations which devolve upon q
minister at court. Mr.. New would
have preferred the greater office, but
he could not afford to take it, Robert
I. Lincoln was made minister to Great
Britain, and he suffered financially.
Mr.. New saved nearly 100000 during
his four years as consul general.
While our ambassador TO Great Brit
ain is obliged to live on Z comparatively
small salary, and pay for the expenses
of public entertainments out of his own
pocket. the British ambassador to this
country has salary of 100000 per an
nun, handsome residence which be-
longs to his government. and 4 liberal
allowance for the expenses of state en-
tertainments. Some of cur people, i'm

be inclined to say that these expensive
entertainments might be dispensed
with. But you might as weT say that
in our cities. towns and villages we
should do away with our entertain
ments of our friends. If John Jones
and his wife want to invite JOHN Smith
and his wife 70 dine with them or give
a party for their children, they have a
right TO do so, and viii continue to do
so forever.
Well, when the French minister and
the British minister, and the ministers
of other countries. invite our diplo-
matte representatives to state dinners,
those invitations must be accepted; and
our ministers and ambassadors must
give similar entertainments in return.
1t is the custom of the civilized world,
and we must comply with those GUS
toms or else give up diplomatic rela-
tions with other nations, which is i'm
possible.
At these great entertainments the
ladies belonging to the families OF our
foreign ministers must dress as the

and interseeted. The whole place,
with its scattered dirt heaps and i'll

the black tragedy which hung over 1t.
On reaching the boundary wall, Toby
ran along, whining eagerly, underneath
its shadow, aud stopped finally IN
corner screen by a young beech.
Where the two walls joined, several
bricks had been loosened, and the crew
ices left were worn down and rounded
upon the lower side, as though they
had frequently been used as ladder.
Holmes clambered up, and. taking the
dog from me, he dropped it over upon
the other side.

Feed Young stock Regularly.

A plentiful and regular supply OF
food is essential to maintaining good
digestion. This is often forgotten. If
there is neglect in feeding. as often
happens to stock that is confined. it is
a common idea that it can be made up
by more liberal feeding thereafter.
This usually only makes the matter
worse. If the stomach is weakened by
deprivation of food it is less able to di-
gest the surplus that commonly fol-
lows Young animals, especially,
ought to have their food at regular
times, and not either too much or too
little.
