..Thrown upon the World

A visitor to one of the government offices
where women are employed in one of our
cities desires TO give an exact account OF
what he saw and heard there. He was
conducted by the superintendent, an old
man of large experience. The last room
inspected was filed with women at work.
The visitor remarked: "This is higher
class of women than that employed at the
same work in some other kinds of bust
ness. These women have been educated,
and have refined faces and voices. l should
Judge they are not used to manual labor OF
any kind.
"They are not, was the reply. "In al
most every case they are the widows or
daughters of men whose income died with
them, but who, while living, gave to their
families luxurics beyond their means.
"That young girl by the window was In
fashionable society in New York two years
ago. Her father, with salary of So, 600,
lived far beyond his means. The woman
in mourning is the widow of u physician
whose income averaged $4,000. He prob
ably spent $4,000.
"That pale girl is the daughter of a
master builder who lived comfortably
among his old friends until he was seized
with political ambition. He moved into a
fine house, had his carriage, servants and
gave balls. He died, and his daughter
earns Sl2 week, on which she supports
her mother. There is hardly woman
here who is not the victim of the vulgar
! ambition which makes a family ape its
weather. neighbors in it's outlay"
"That Is an ambition not peculiar to
| us Americans" said the visitor.

EGGS OF COMMERCE.
rhe Big Business Done In the Interna-
tios.al Trading In Them

There Is standard joke In the variety
thoators, so often told that il has come to
have familiar sound To the ears of pa
irons, concerning remark made 10y city
man who heard that eggs had gone down
to cent apiece. 81 don't see how the
hens can do 1t for the price" Notwith-
standing the reduction i'm the price of eggs,
and tie almost Unlimited supply Of them
In all countries that have developed their
agricultural resources, it Is a fact that the
trade in eggs, their expectation from one
country TO another has become "a large
item OF international commerce, as some
recent figures show. The case Of Den
mark Is in point. Denmarb's trade i'm
eggs with foreign countries, chiefly with
England and Scotland, has grown enor-
mously. Twenty years ago the annual
Danish export of eggs was GOO, 900; now
IL Is reckoned at 10000, coo. In the same
period the importation of eggs into Eng
land has increased tenfold, but only part
of the whole number comes from Denmark,
the two ether egg exporting countries
from which England draws its supplies
being Holland and France. France ex-
ports TO other countries 900, 000, 900 eggs
in year and Italy exports 500, 900, 900
eggs in u year, chiefly to Austria and Ger
many.
The dairymen of the United States de-
pend chiefly on the enormous home mar
ket, and they have rivals in the export of
American eggs in the Canadians, Canada
ranking next to France and Italy and
ahead of Denmark and Holland as an egg
exporting country. Canada exports to
other countries 800, 600, 900 eggs in year
For the fiscal year of 1895 the treasury
figures give as the total exports of Ameri
can eggs to foreign countries ISL 900 doz
en-, which is equivalent to 1,S12,000 eggs
In the fiscal year 1895, however, the tota
expectations of American eggs increased
to 1913, 900 dozen, or 3, 936, 900 eggs, a littl,
more than twice as much.
1t is a somewhat curious fact that tn,
weight of eggs is materially larger In nor
thern than in southern climates. Canadian
eggs, for instance, are heavier than thos
shipped from the United States, and egg
in the northern states of this country ar
heavier than those from the sOuth.-Nev

The Dog on the Sidewalk.

ION the sidewalk in front of a store up
my way" said Mr.. Goslington, Il see
often big, handsome, shaggy dog, always
sitting in the same place 1t is quiet,
unobtrusive dog, but 1t is an intelligent OBJ
server and evidently 1t has good opinion
of itself. One of two men who went by
the other day leaned over in passing to pat
the dogs head 1t was not an act OF con-
descension or patronage on the part of this
man, but rather the act of a man who,
though occupied, found time to salute
friend in passing, and the dog appreci-
ated it in that light and wagged his tail,
not violently, but enough to make his APP
probation clear. In fact, he rather priced
the passing mans salutation than other
WISE
Pretty soon another man who came
along patted the dog on the head. He was
a we'll meaning man, and he had really
friendly feeling toward the dog But he
considered himself man and the dog a
dog, and his friendly recognition was more
In the nature of kindly act. Apparently
he thought the dog should be gratitied by
it too.
But the dog wasn't bit. He suffered
the attention because he was too well bred
to resent an attention that was well
meant but he never wagged his tail or
made the slightest movement whatsoever,
he simply sat passive.
The man went on satisfied with him
self and satisfied with his kindness to the
dog and never doubling that the dog was
pleased.
What the dog thought was plain to
see New York sun.

An Hour In Delphi.

I had an hour all to myself In Delphi,
and thought over my day. The drive
from Itea, the port of Delphi, Is beautiful.
The road Is perfect 1t Is a French road.
1t passes through olive groves, the like OF
which for vigorous life have never seen,
or. seeing, have never marked, and then
begins the ascent along the zigzags which
furrow the face of the mountain. 1t re-
called to my mind the road from Giardini
to Taormina, the road from Palermo to
Monreale A very modern dogcart, driv'
en- by q very modern French arch@ologist'
with a very modern French girl at his
side, came bowling down the road at
reckless pace. The awe Of Delphi was not
yet upon us.
Then we reached a large village, Chryso
by name, which Is, being interpreted
Goldsborough-a corruption, 1t Is suggest
ed. of the ancient name Crissa; not an un
natural corruption, II one remembers the
popular ISLANDERS against Delphi. Chryse
seemed larger even than 1t was. Chamber
ing far uphill, 1t waylays the Traveller
three times, and as we traversed 1t three
times. the children Of the village threw
wild flowers into our carriages. When W.
went down, must add, the withholding
of O copper tribute reused the wrath O
the youthful neighbors of Delphi, ant
other missiles than wild flowers wer'
hurled into the carriage that occupied

CHlNATOWN'S PHYSICIANS.
Burned Paper and Ginseng Root, Which
Bring Him Fancy Prices.

One of the queerest shops in Chinatown
Is that of Chinese doctor, who wears
large diamond rings and prescribes sharks
fins, birds nests and snakes tongues for
his patients. For prescriptions for indi-
gestion il is his custom to charge his pa
tient 81.
When that sum has been paid, he writes
Chinese characters on long strip of pa
per- This he burns, uttering lamentations.
The ashes he permits to fall into glass
of water which is given TO the patient to
drink. This cure is said to work every
time, but a New York physician who has
examined it says it consists of nothing
more or less than the administration of
charcoal, long known to practitioners as Il
cure for dyspepsia.
A much more expensive prescription
which this New York Chinese doctor puts
up for his patients is ginseng. There are
some species of this peculiar plant for
which the Chinatown doctor charges as
much 500 per pound.
Ginseng is supposed to infuse new life
into him who takes IL. To the devout
Cinnamon ginseng represents the fountain
of youth and for IA small part of its pre-
cious wood he will often spend his last cent.
There are only three countries in the
whole world where ginseng is found
China, Korea and the United States Hun
dreds of thousands of dollars worth of gin
seng are annually exported from this coun
try to China, whero it is IN great demand
by the native doctors, although European
and American chemists who have exam
ined it have failed to find that it possesses
any curative or medicinal properties.
In China the best ginseng comes from
Manchuria and sells for 500 per pound,
This is called the imperial brand. The
second grade is collected in Korea, while
the ginseng used by the poorer classes
comes from the United States.
The Chinatown doctor sells ginseng tt
his patients at $50 to 500 per pound. HI

First of all, the annual salary Of $4,000.

The Ewes Of the Eagle.

That the eagle has a most wonderful
power Of vision is shown from the fact
that it flies in almost a straight line for
any object which 1t desires to secure. Baby
eagles also possess this farsightedness.
Long before human eyes can discern them
their gaze Is fixed on distance, and their
cries of welcome to their parents are shrill
and continuous. The structure OF their
eyes makes them peculiarly strong. The
brightest glare of sunlight does not affect
them. Eagles do not fly as high In the air
as some other birds, but their flight Is very
long and steady A popularity about
eagles Is that they are constant to their
mates, not changing every season, as most
birds do. Sometimes the same pair OF
eagles will return to the same nest year
after year. They seem to become acquaint-
ed with the locality, and II they are not
disturbed are regular tenants.-New York

ABOUT STARVING.
Dinereps Kinds and Different Stages OF
