spore. When, but yesterday, a hundred
eggs were ''set," with experienced hens
to sit upon them, who never neglected
their duty for a moment, the result was
d bare score of chicks. On each I'M
fruitful egg was presently remarked
just the kind of smudge which has hith-
erto been held by connoisseurs to be
the surest outward and visible sign OF
the nearness of an eggs laying. Sci
ence, however, decided that the smudge
meant mycelium, that the spore had
penetrated the eggshell, and had slain
the chick within. And science proved
It's assertion by ocular evidence. Fur
Their, it showed that there was myceli-
INN in the straw of the nests, that the
straw had got a little damp, and hat
the hen had failed to hatch the e
because she had Matched the spore. But
the spore will hatch just as well in the
ordinary temperature of a room, and.
once entire, does well within the hui
man. Hence the a%blutionary process
in the case of smudged eggs of the most
undoubted freshness is strongly recon-
mended.-Pall Mall Gazette.

What They Think.
There are many drawbacks to liyitI
quite beyond the boundaries of ~civiliz

be refreshingly new. From Afri
there m in a private letter an amus
ing story of the reception accorded to
some ladies who were sent to the mis-
sion station at Uganda. Their arrival
caused great joy to the natives, especial
ly to the women.
The visitors found that they had
reached a land where the most astonish-
ing candor prevailed, and where it was
quite possible for them to see them
selves as others saw Them
The comments of the natives were al
ways astounding and often witty.
They gazed long and earnestly at the
waists of the English ladies, and with
ready wit bestowed upon the new
corners the name of Observation-Disclosures
The king, after asking various ques-
lions as to the age and personal history
of his visitors, and having found them.
ready to answer any such reasonable
demands for information, next noticed
their ample sleeves, and remarked that
they must put all their food up their
sleeves, for it was very evident that it
did not go inside"
Such a comment on one of the inn
provements of fashion could, of course,
only have been made in a land where
civilization is unknown. 1t might.
however, be somewhat instructive to.
look occasionally at the results of FASH
ion through the eyes of an unmitigated
savage. He is at least unprejudiced.-

Washington, Jan 1.-THE Pacific rail.
way funding bin went TO IL doom IN
In the house today under an adverse
majority Of 60. The friends of the
measure who had predicted H. passage
up TO the last moment, were surprised
by the decisive character Of their de.
teat. They had been led to hope from
the votes on the substitutes that the bill
had more than an equal chance of pas.
sage. The Bell substitute provided that
II the Union Pacific and Central Pacific
would clear of the first mortgage and
advance the government lien, the
government would extend the lndeb,.
edness AZ ; per cent. II was defeated,
no to iSS. The Harrison substitute,
providing for committee to negotiate
a settlement OF the debt, was rejected
by the house by vote Of Sc to st4.
Many Of the members were a. much
opposed to these substitutes as TO the
Powers bill. The California AMI mid.
die west members voted almost solldly
against them.
When the vote came on the main
proposition the whole opposition swung
Into line and crushed {, by an adverse
vote Of rol 20 i6S.
The vote was not taken directly on
the passage OF the bill. but on the pre-.
liminary motion to engross and read the
bill third time. Bills which become
the subject OF hard tests are usually
brought to final test before the last
parliamentary. stage Is reached. The
Reilly Pacific funding bill two years
ago was defeated In the same manner
on the same motion. This was the
fourth funding bill killed In the house
In ten years.
An analysis OF the vote today shows
that 50 republicans and 70 democrats
voted for the bill and 90 republicans, IS
democrats, 9 popullsts and independ.
ents agalnsti II.
Mr.. Powers, chairman of the Pacific
railroad committee, presented a motion
to reeommlt the bill today after he had
recovered from the shock Of his defeat,
saying that the members OF the house
were all IN favor ola settlement, but cv.
identity opposed to the principle Of the
measure his committee had brought In.
lie thought his committee should have
an opportunity to formulate another
bill In the hope that Il would prove &C.
eeptable. a point ei order was made
against Mr.. Powers motion, but at the
suggestion Of the speaker the point
was NOT ruled upon today, but will be
when the house convenes tomorrow.
Mr. Powers said tonight that he did
not know what would be done, but ex.
pressed the opinion that another effort
should be made to pass an acceptable
bill. The opponents Of the bill on the
other hand are rejoicing and say the
vote today settles the fate of all the
schemes to fund the debt at this ses.
sion.
Before the house convened the floor
was crowded with members standing
about arguing.
