photographs showing objects in their

simple way. With some solution. the

on which the positive is TO be made
is similarly treated At first the pic
ture has the appearance of any ordi-
nary photograph, but after three sue
cessive washes. one blue, one grass
green and one crimson-red, have been
passed over it, it assumes the colors Of
the original object, all arranged in
their proper places and intensities. In
other words, the blue takes hold only
where there was blue in the original,
and so on with the other colors. and
the proper shades are represented. Sir
H. Trueman Wood. secretary of the
Society OF Arts, London, and Capt. W.
dew. Abney have not only witnessed
the making Of colOred photographs by
the new process. but they have them
selves experimental with the plates
and solutions and they express aston
ishment at the results. Captain Abney
says that he is still somewhat skepti-
cal. despite what has been seen, and

cess farther before he will undertake

There are styles in eggs just as there
are in garments. The fashionable in
New York is that which bears the label
of Long Island. An egg dealer there is,
however, responsible for the statement
that if all the hens on Long Island
should lay literally every day for
month the total product would not
equal the number OF alleged Long
Island eggs that are sold every week
day in New York. You see," said the
dealer, in explaining the popular pref
erence for eggs that come from the
other side of the East river, people
have got it into their heads that, Long
Island being so near, the eggs are fresh
er. So we have to humor em. Most
all the dealers buy some Long Island
eggs and mix 'em with state eggs and
sell 'em for Long Island. The fact is
that eggs shipped from central or
eastern New York or Jersey get here
about as soon as the Long Island eggs,
but people don't think about that.
They've got hold of the name Long
Island, and that's the go, and we sell
them for or cents higher than if we
labeled them state eggs" Fashion also
favors eggs that are laid by white Leg
horn hens, because, like the hens. they
are white and handsome. They are by
no means the best eggs, dealers say.

You will note the striking deficiency
in stocks compared with January l.
1895. The large export movement from
the States and Canada from the LIST of
January, 1896, until the 18th day OF
May, 1896, certainly proves that the
actual stocks of cheese on this side of
the Atlantic were underestimated by
fully 100000 boxes. Possibly you will
recall to mind that the decided i'm
proyement which set in in Liver
pool and London in April, 1896
was very short lived, on accoun:
of the very large and unexpect-
ed shipments OF old cheese which
went forward from Atlantic ports at
that time. and which completely para
lyzed the trade. Taking into consider
alton the conceded shrinkage of rs per
cent in the English make from the to-
tai production of 1900, 900 boxes $780,
0OO), which is undoubtedly correct, on
account of the exorbitant prices now
being paid for English Cheddars and
Cheshires, and adding the shortage as
given below, 667 900 boxes for America
and Canada. makes a total shrinkage
of 1.417.000 boxes. In addition to this
enormous shrinkage, the trade will
also receive a decided benefit from the
non-production of lard cheese in the
State of Illinois, which was estimated
for last season by the government in
ternal revenue department at 100000
pounds, equaling 42S,571 boxes of 80
pound average cheese. 1t is reasonable
to expect that in this filed cheese dis
trict there will possibly be made the
coming winter months $4,000 TO 10000
boxes of half-skims. Not since the
year 1879 has the total crop of cheese
been SO deficient and it is reasonable
to expect 121a cent cheese in New York
and Cos. cable in Liverpool before the
LIST of April, 1897. Latest advices from
New Zealand state that the cheese crop
of that country is estimated at 20 per
cent short of last season, the shortage
being explained by the fact that pro-
ducers have been discouraged by the
low prices rulino the mast few wears
