Deadly Iiteralnegs.

Andrew Lang gives new instance
of the deadly literalness with which
compositors sometimes follow what
they take to be the authors inten-
ton:
Lately, in magazine article of
my own, l found this mystic phrase,

Shakespeare, as my authority for
'abysm of time, ard 'abysm' was
taken out and Shakespeare was in
serted. Probably no mortal could
have conjecturally emended the pas
sage correctly or shown how Shake

In the loneliness of his prison cell he

Consumption Of Eggs.

A Partisan scientist asserts that he
has compiled trustworthy statistics con.
corning the number of eggs annually con-
sumed by the nations Of Europe. Ac.
eating countries are England and Ger,
many. In 1895 England imported l..
25O,0OO.OOO eggs, for which was paid
about $2O.OOO,O0O : The eggs came prin.
cipally from France. During the same
year Germany imported 100000
S2O,OOO,OOO. Most Of these eggs came
from Russia and Austria Hungary. OF
all European countries Russia has made
the greatest advance in expectation. In
1890 she exported only Il, 100000, but in
1895 the number rose to 1,25O, OOO, 600,
significant fact in connection with these
statistics is that in those countries which
are the greatest exporters of eggs the
omelet is the fayorite dish.

A TELL-TALE MIRROR.
How a Cross in 4 Prison Chapel wa
Used.


Used.
Recently the governor of one of cur
county PRISONS was greatly perplexed by
the discovery that the female criminals
i'll his charge managed in some mys-
FERROUS manner to ascertain the presence
of every individual man on the other
side of the impervious dividing barrier
which separates the male from the fc-
male worshipers in the jail chapel, says
ii writer in the London Hospital.
One of the women inadvertently made
an exclamation showing that she had
suddenly become aware that her husband
was within the same walls. although his
presence ought, according to the rule. 70
have been completely unknown to her.
None of the officers could account for an
unpermitted knowledge, which WAS
found to be shared by all other women
At last Il very careful examination of
the chapel gave an explanation of the
mystery.
Although strictly divided, as we have
said both the male and the fenA lie l,ris-
oners faced the altar in their seats. and
over it had been fixed Il very large
brass cross against the WALL so highly
polished as to form very good mirror.
and in its clear surface the women saw
the reflection of every man as he passed
to his place, and had enjoyed the spec
tacle with impunity till the wife's aiTec-
ton Overcame her discretion. The brass
cross instantly disappeared

A Very Popular Calendar.

Few people in these busy days are will
ing TO live without a calendar to mark
the passing of time. This fact. no doubt,
accounts for the calendars of all kinds,
colors. shapes and sizes which flood the
mails at this season. Among them all
the one that best suits us is that issued

this calendar is so great Il favorite. The
figures on it are large enough to be read
across a room: its handsome appearance
makes it worthy of a place in the best
furnished office or library, while it is bust
nesslike all the way through. The pub
fishers state that the demand for this
calendar has always exceeded the sup
ply. This led them years ago to place
upon it nomina price-25 cents, on re-
