A Partisan scientist asserts that he
has compiled trustworthy statistics
concerning the number of eggs an
nually consumed by the nations Of
Europe, According to his tables the
greatest egg eating countries are
England and Germany. In 1885 Eng
land imported 1850, 100000 eggs, for
which was paid about $40, 100000. The
eggs came from France. During the
same year Germany imported 10000
900 pounds Of eggs, also representing
about 100000 600. Most of these eggs
came from Russia and Austria.lIun.
gary, OF all European countries Rus
sia has made the greatest advance in
expectation. In 1890 she exported
only 900 600. but in 1895 the number
rose to 100000, 900, representing Il
value Of so, 100000 A significant
fact in connection with these statis-
tics is that in those countries which
are the greatest exporters OF eggs the
umelut is the lavorite dish

The Scotch newspapers are just now
pushing Il story Of drunkenness in
poultry. 1t appears that one John
Turner, Of Laggan, complained to
the magistrates that the refuse from
a distiilcry was allowed to flow into
an adjoining stream. The fact that
the stream contained something
stronger than mere water was soon
found out 10y the Complainlnt's ducks.
and 10y some means or other his hens
got on to the good thing and push
ed the thing along to such an extent
that they were in a perpetual state Of
lntOXlcatlOn, except on Sunday. when
the diSlilIery failed to turn out its
inebrating refuse. They, however,
made up for lost timcon Mondays. and
a lad had to be engaged especially to
look after the Hook. In proof Of this
statement, Turner produced in court
Il hen which was in an incipiCnt stage
Of dG'lrinm trCmens, and the remain
der were said to have been too lipsy
for presentation.

Medicinal Spring in Indiana.

The water Of a spring near Rich.
mond, Ind, is said to have rare medi-
cinal properties, and the black mud
found about the spring is alleged to
have caused many wonderful cures
during the past few months. Mr..
Reed, the owner Of the spring, makes
no charge whatever Tor the water or
mud, and hundreds Of gallons are
taken away each month by citizens of
Richmond. There are q number of
prominent people who attribute their
complete cure Of rheumatism t4. the
use of this remarkable water, ana to
the application OF the mud upon the
afflicted parts. -Chicago Chronicle.

BY the IS just completed in
France, the population of that country
is shown to be 3S,517,975 which is an
increase of only 1902 over the popu-
lation it had in 1891. This is an omi-.
nous showing, but the Minister Of the
Interior is trying to minimize the alarm
it has produced by pointing out that OF
late years there has been a large emf
grafton to the colonies. especially to
Algeria, and that more troops are no"
kept IN remote possessions than form
erly. At the same time, he is COM
PEELED to confess that there is a marked
tendency III the population to remain
almost stationary. and that it does not
increase in anything like the same pro-
portions as its ~neighbOrs. While in
tWenty-four departments the inhabI-
tants have increased. there has been an
absolute dlminutiOn in siXty-thr6e.
Oddly enough, this census shows that
fewer foreigners are settled in France
than was the case in 1891. In THAT yeal
tie number of the alien residents wae
given as 1,10l, 79S, while now it is 1.027.-
19l. This falling off is attributed TO
the law on nationality promulgated il
1889. and also TO the efforts made to pro
tect the interests Of the French work
maj against foreign rivals.

pren<ice's Advice.

1 Once when George D. Prentice, Of tbs
Louisville Journal, was coming out of
4 public building in Louisville. he was
shout to pass through a double door
which opened both ways. He started
TO push at the door on his right A
young man coming from the opposite
direction was pushing at the same door,
being his own left. Prentice lost pa.
tience, and throwing himself against
the door, it dew open, and the young
man went sprawling on the floor. AS
sist;ng the youth to rise, Prentice re-
marked: Take my advice, my son,
keep to the right in your way through
life. and you'll never run against any
body but a blamed fool, and you needn';
apologize to him."
