A Partisan scientist asserts that he

corning tho number Of eggs annually

According to his tables the greatest
cgg-eating countries are England and
Germany. In 1898 England imported
J ESQ. 900 900 eggs, for which was paid
shout $50. O00. 900. The eggs came princi-
pally from France. During the same
year Germany imported 10000. 900
pounds Of eggs, also representing about
$40. 000. 900. Most of these eggs came
from Russia and Austria Hungary. OF
all European countries Russia has made
the greatest advance in expectation.
l. 1890 she exported only II, 900 900. but
in 1895 the number rose to I, 250, 000. 900.

DO NOT FAVOR A REDUCTION.

In the matter OF the comm unication Of the
Secretary of the State Grange OF Illinois
dated January LIST, 1897, embOdying u reso-
luton OF that body adopted ut it's December
meeting, 1896, asking the Board of Railroad
and Warehouse Commiss oners to reduce
the passenger rate from three cents to two
cents per mile.
The Commission is of the opinion that to
do SO ut this time would be unwise and I'M
warranted and would be unjust to the rail
road interest of the state. While some OF
the great Trunk Lines in Illinois might be
able to stand such reduction, yet the
smaller roads aud those which do almost
wholly local business. and which are now
and have been for the last Two years strug-
Cling for existence. would be most seriously
affeci ed by 1t.
Such action on our part would simply in
crease the heavy burdens under viii h they
are staggering now. 1t is well known
fact to those who have taken the trouble to
investigate the amount OF passenger bust
ness done by the railroads in limos during
the past two years that there has been a
large decrease In the number OF passengers
carried This is due in our judgment not to
the amount charged for such service but to
the general depression in all lines OF bust
ness, the low prices OF farm products and
the unsettled financial conditions which have
hnd their effect on the passenger as well as
the freight business.
And it is also fact, as shown by the
Z,
that the capital invested In such property
has not paid even q fair interest TO the st ock-
hol or. This question was before us when
we revised the freight schedule in 1895 and
the whole question was thoroughly consid-
cred. We did not think then and neither do
we feel now that in justice to both the pub
lie and the railroads, because each should
stand on The same equality before tie law,
this reduction should be made at this time
II the country was prosperous our conclu-
sio . light be different
The statistics in our office show that for
the past three years, 1894, 1895 and 1896, the
average amount charged by the railroads
per passenger mile is o fraction above two
cents, although the maximum allowed them
was three cents.
For the reasons above stated we do not
feel that this reduction should be made ut
this time. We are also asked to recommcud
this reduction to the Legislature. In view
Of our conclusion we do not feel that it
would DO consistent for us to do SO; how
ever, the Legislature has the power to regu-
lato t',e maximum rate which can he charged
for passenger service and we leave the mat
ter to their wisdom.

wear, and are made with less fullness
and weight than heretofore. The skirts
are made up with five. six or seven
cores, depending upon the width of the
material, which governs economy in
cutting. The seven-gored skirt is rath-
er the favorite. and is used when the
material warrants 1t. The back is
plated nr gathered, and the space at
the top containing the fullness is very
narrow. Some of the skirts that are
plated in the back are laid in tiny side
plaits, while others have three box
plaits graduated to a narrow space at
the top. the outer plaits overlapping
the inner ones. Street skirts are made
from ~ to Az yards in width, and
all fit closely across the front and
hips. with an easy hang across the
front and sides at the bottom. All the
fullness is worked toward the hack
breadths, which are cut with bias
seam directly in the back, to give the
standing-o out effect 10 much desired.
Many dressmalers are wiring the tops
OF their skirts in the lining across the
back, to give slight hustle effect.
A small pad directly under the dress
band in the back which fills in hol-
low found in most figures is an addi-
tion to all gowns, and the weight is real
ly less felt,
The drop-skirt is much used, and is
economical where one wishes to use the
same lining for several skirts. The lin
ing. which is usually of silk. is cut aud
fit precisely like the outside, and can
be hung from separate bands or at

one skirt alone, hang them from the

When q queen is balled you'll find a
bunch of bees as large as hickory nut
or larger that seem to cling together
In a very solid manner. You can't pull
the bees. apart, and you may roll the
ball over and over.
II strange queen is thrown into
a hive she is usually balled, and. as
nearly as we can make out. the process
is something like this: The bees seize
the queen at various points till she Is
entirely surrounded. then other bees
seize the ones that have hold Of the
queen, and in this position they remain
fixed for hours. until the queen is dead.
ia strange worker is thrown into the
hive she isn't treated the same as q
queen, and nothing but queen is ever
balled. The worker may be bitten or
stung, but never balled.
The balling bees generally make .
kissing sound. unlike the noise they
make at any other time. Whether that
proceeds from anger or what, we do not
know.
Sometimes bees will ball their own
queen, usually for the sake of protect.
ing her. In the middle of ball of her
own bees, II certainly seems she ought
to be safe from foes. You cannot pull
the bees apart so as to free the queen
| and II you should succeed in getting
| some of the bees away, or should man
age to get the queen loose. the bees
will Immediately seize her again. Per
haps the quickest way to get the queer
free is to throw tho ball into cold
water. The little miscreants viii
scramble to get out of the water as
lively as they can, and at once seem e
