Egg Consumntion.

A Partisan scientist asserts that he
has compiled trustworthy statistics
concerning the number of eggs annual
ly consumed by the nations of Europe
According to his tables, the greatest
egg ting countries are England and
Germany. In 1895 England imported
l. .25O. 100000 eggs, for which was paid
about S2OOOO.00O. The eggs came prin-
cipally from France. During the sa:ue
year Germany imported 20OO0.OOO
pounds of eggs, also representing about
$50, 100000. Most of these eggs came
from Russia and Austria-Hungary. Of
all European countries Russia has made
the grea test advance in expectation. In
1890 she exported only II .000.G00. but in
1888 the number rose to 1,2J0000. .000
representing a value of $10.200.00O. a
significant fact in connection with these
statistics is that in those countries
which are the greatest exporters Of eggs
the Omelet is the favorite dish.

Sugar Trusts Crime Confessed.
Probably to Senator Lexow's sur
prise, and undoubtedly to his own
cha agrih, Henry y. Havemeyer; Presi-
uent of the sugar trust, made ali admis
sion while Oh the witness stand before
the Investigating committee on Friday
which may have very serious results
for all the members of the combination
whose chief cOnfesses that it controls
four-iiftlis of what has become One Of
the prime necessities of life.
Evidently Mr.. Havemeyer was rat
tied or he was Overmastered by that
autocfatic feeling which seizes onenll
men of ability who have been permit
ted to have their own way too much in
the world, and which in incautiOus mo-
ments leads them to boast of their own
power. When LeXOw asked him the
one question that was really of conse
quence the sugar magnate lest his cum
ming i'll order, doubtless, to impress his
hearers with his own Importance. and
with the greatness of the combination
which he represented.
The question was based on the testi-
mony given by Mr.. Havemeyer before
Il United States Senate Committee in
1891, when he confessed that the trust
was able to control the price of re-
fined sugar up to the importing point,
and actually did so. and that the COM
binatiOn was formed for the purpose of
regulating both the output and the
selling price.
The President of the sugar trust did
not want to answer plainly as to the
truth or falsity of what he said then
and did some fencing that seemed TO
rritatc him. and when LcXow sudden
ly asked this:
rs it not a fact that you do actually
control the price and output to-day"
he leaned back in his chair and replied,
emphatically and defiantly:
Yes. sir: that is undoubtedly the
fact

Regulating the output of a necessary
article of life and fixing it's price for all
the purchasers is undoubtedly an act
injurious to trade and commerce." and
likewise an obstruction of justice.

trust be put in the criminal dock OH the
