Louis Choteau owns a small farm in New

can product. AS the Hartford Courant
says, the question is complicated by the fact
that some of the hens are American born.
while others are raised in Canada and owe
allegiance TO her majesty Victoria, by the
grace of God of the United Kingdom OF
Great Britain and Ireland queen, defender
Of the faith, Empress Of Indian. Louis
contends with some show Of reason that an
egg is not product until il is produced;
that the nest and the roost govern the doni
Gle in the case Of the domestic fowls, with
out reference TO the nationality of the own
err or the original birthplace OF the fowls
themselves.
On the side of the department Of the treas
ury it is urged that the eggs are manu-
featured in Canada from Canadian raw ma
teriai-grain grown in New Brunswick, sup
plemented by the pauper worms of that pro
vince-and smuggled into the United States
by the hens IN finished conditi ton; that II
they can bring in eggs free of duty, they
might also bring in diamonds, which could
be forced into the crop and removed on
this side of the line by painless vivisection
"a proceeding which would be clearly in
contravention of our revenue laws; and
that hens who cross the line every day IN
search OF livelihood, accompanied by their
husbands, are clearly foreign hens-no mat
ter where they sleep.
In some quarters there is disposition 10
pooh-pooh the whole matter as beneath the
notice of a great republic. and a case to
which the maxim de minim:s non curat

unimportant where the principles OF inter-

Alaska, and the number of eggs which

Of hens extending from the Atlantic 10 the

could any force of custom house officers
prevent more than a small fraction of this

THE A P A. METHODISTS.

The Methodist Book Concern has a
fight or hand with the American Pro-
tective Association. The trouble has
been brewing for some time and grows
ont of the fact that the Book Concern
has been employing number of Cath

great publishing house has discharged
= large number of Protestants TO make
places for Catholics. The matter was
taken by them TO the New York Meth
oJist conference. which paid but little
or no attention 10 them. The Book
Concern admitted the charge of en-
ploying Roman Catholics. but denied
that they were employed at the expense
of Protestants discharged; that in short
as great publishing house they did not
stop 10 inquire into the religion of en-
rloyes. As some of the A. Z. AS were
McthOdists. quite little breeze was at
tempted over this admission. Half
dozen formal and official notices were
SEM the directory and officers of the
Book Concern that unless they ceased
to employ Catholics steps would be TAX

finally prepared and issued a circular
answer which is 10 the effect that the
Concern will not interfere with the re-
ligious beliefs of its employees.
