QUEER A In EGGS.
A Profitable Business In the Cracked anG
Spotted Article.

With the increase OF alien residents OF this
city there has been an increased demand for
cracked and spotted eggs. Five years ago
bakers and confectioners were the only con-
sumers OF cracked and spotted eggs. but of
late years they have confined their demand TO
certain grades of cheap but whole eggs.
Hebrew and Italian women. who are shrewd
business people. continually canvas the but
ter, cheese. and egg disirict for stock. and
when two happen to iid on one lot there is a
lively time. The cracked eggs are more
sought af,er than spotted cges. because they
have not begun TO decay. They sell for s to
/. cents a dozen, while spotted eggs sell for 2
to IL. When n dealer has a stock OF spotted
eggs and cannot get his price for them he
simply cracks them, but it won't work too
often.
One dealer says there Is more profit in this
trade than In his regular trade, and each year
shows an Increase in ~. After the eggs are
purchased, the women, who are practically
iohbers in their peculiar trade. take them to
the cheap cast side stores, where they arc sold
by weight to the peopl, who WORK in sweat
shops and earn a bare pittance. The cracked
eggs ara viewed rs a luxury, and 90 not sell
so well as the spotted brands. Sometimes tho

ENeLAND,s HUMILIATION.

Nothing has occurred lately in an in
ternational political way so interesting
as Kruger's snub of England, and the
immediate evidence which followed
that the English government is respou-
sible for the attempted massacre OF
the Beers. England was seeking pre-
text, of course, for wiping cut the
South African republic, and finding
none was attempting to enforce one.
The tools of the leaders were captured,
convicted and sentenced to death. Eng
land and the United States protested
and asked for Communication, stating
that the five foremost men of the Jo-
hannesburg gold region had been mis-
led. were innocent victims, and the like.
Now comes President Kruger with in
ccntestabie evidence Of Cecil Rhodes
completely as the representative or
British interests. The dismay Of the
English jingo element will be unbound
ed and the disgust Of the civilized
world pronounced. The only pity is
that the Beers did not capture Rhodes
and hold on to Jameson. The Beers
have not only been in the right, evinc-
ing both courage and wisdom, but they
are entitled TO the sympathies or all
civilized people. The tactics of Kruger
have been more than a match of Eng
lands duplicity, liz which a pretext to
fight was only sought. England is left
without ngledecent excuse and when
that government forces war with the
republic it is TO be sincerely hoped that
the Beers may find an ally in Germany.
England, of course, will make a cow
ardly plea for the lives Of the men her
ministry jeopardized, but that being
once accomplished it will be only a
question of time when Yictoria's gov
eminent will find or force some pretext
for destroying the Transvaal republic.

A TROTTER IN MARBLE.

The American trotter has not only
lowered the worlds mile record or the
trotting track TO 2:o334 minutes, but he
has successfully trotted into modern
art and letters For the first time In
the history of sculpture has racing
horse been chiseled forth in marble or
cast in bronze. At the current Royal
academy exhibit in London place of
honor has been assigned TO piece or
sculpture, by Walter Winans, an Amer
lean artist, entitled IAN American
Trotter." The gallant racer thus i'm
mortalized in bronze is the black stall
lion Directum, who in race at Nash
vile, Tenn, on October IS, 1893, passed
under the wire in 2O5A minutes, which
was exactly Nancy Hanks first cham
pion record, and only 01A seconds be-
hind the existent record. Mr.. Winans
has. Furthermore, not only cast the
stallion in bronze, but depicts the noble
teed being driven at full speed, by
Hickok, to a pneumatic-tired suiky.
The entire work might be styled fit
ting apotheosis of the contemporary
American trotting track.
The young sculptor is to be heartily
congratulated, not only upon his orig
inality, but upon his appreciation Of
the worthiness of a distinctly Ameri-
can achievement America is justly
proud of her trotting horse, or her driy-
ers, her breeders and her public4spirit-
ed benefactors of this greatest Amer
lean sport The American trOtter is
as unique product OF American civil
iZation as We're the athlete and glad
iator of classic antiquity. The great
benefits which have ensued 10 the
science of housekeeping through the
development of the American trotter
have been lucidly and forcibly demon
strated by Mr. Hamilton Busbey in his
first of two papers on 1.-THE Trotting
Horse" in the current issue of Scrib-
ner's Magazine. Mr.. Busbey shows
how great a debt the entire public owes
10 the wealthy and generous patrons of
the trotting turf. The story of the
famous Hambletonian alone is set
forth in such a clear light as to make
that real romance of the racing world
a new revelation to the casual observer
OF the sport who might be inapprecia-
tive of it's more serious and truly inner
import and value. Mr.. Busbey, who
is the veteran editor of The Turf, Field
and Farm, has proved himself well fit
ted 10 write this first popular account
of the origin and evolution OF the trot-
ting horse. 1t is an article well worth
everyone's perusal, and its spirited il

aration for more than a year, lend
