Field for Our Dairymen.

There is stirring object lesson for
our dairymcn in the table of Englnnd's
purchases of butter. For ten years
past we have been steadily losing our
trade in the great tutter market Of the
world, aud this condition calls for spe.
cial comment when We take into con.
sileration the fact that the American
dairyman can underssll all competi-
tors. Denmark sells to Great Britain
100, 1000, 900 pounds of butter, and we
sell 100000 pounds. The Danish
kingdom obtains 24.53 q pound.
Franco in 1895 sold $4,000. 900 pounds
of her butter product to England at
1886 per pound. while tho export
from the United States sold for 10. GO.
Ear away Australasia outsells us at "a
ratio of to l, and gets an average Of
22.53 per pound in the British market.
Our dairymen ought to have grow
ing trade with England, as we have an
ever widening sale there for the bulk
of our food products. In butter the
trouble seems to be not q matter of
price, but Of quality. Our North
American product is not up to the
proper standard, o fact made clear by
the small sales in England of Canadian
butter. The price'obtained by the Ca.
nadians is 1852 per pound, but the
costl:sc art::cc!!e from Denmark, France
and Russia is preferred. Holland sold
England in 1895 l9,0O0,00O pounds at
1924, and Great Britain imported a
total from al countries Of ESQ, 900, 900
pounds. This ought to suggest a
change in methods to the Americap
dairyman. There is no good reason
way we should not obtain one.fourth
of the butter trade with England, and
thus bring to circulation here $20,-

Fresh Eggs From China.

"Tresh Eggs From China is con.
spicuous sign posted at the windows
OF all the Chinese stores and restau-
rants on Clark street, says the Chi
cage Chronicle. Only the Chinamen
notice it, for it is posted in the queer
characters of their language. They aro
delicacies that come to Chicago every
fall from China. That is the season
when L. B. Bonheim. in charge of the
Chinese entries at the Custom House,
has his hands full of work. The ex.
aminer's room for the last two weeks
has been strewn with the square paper
covered boxes wrapped with bamboo
splits, and which hold tho consign-
ments of fruits, vegetables and gro
ceries for the Chinese colony OF Chi
cago and the central West, for Chi
cago is the headquarters Of supplies
for all Cinnamon from the Missouri
River to tho Allegheny Mountains.
Not the least among the queer things
that are imported from tho Celestial
Kingdom are the fresh duck eggs. At
least 10000 Of these have passed
through the Custom House during the
last two weeks. Each egg is wrapped
in mass of black mud that attains its
puttylike consistency for months,
even when exposed to the mir. They
come in boxes holding twenty five
Chinamen's dozen, which is ten.
Everything that comes from China is
purchased by tens. The eggs are as
fresh as if laid yesterday. Peeling
the coating from them, the faint blue
tint of the shell is disclosed.
One of the chief importations for
the Cinnamon is the rice vermicelli, O
snow white, gelatinons, threadllke
substance, and the only thing that to
IN American seems edible. The canned
goods comprise fresh vegetables,
mainly beans and cabbage. But the
Chinese dote on sailed foods, and most
Of their cabbage como shredded and
sailed, together with beans and mush-
rooms, and sea moss that resembles
black wool IN appearance. Sharks
fins and oysters are dried and sailed,
and sailed plums are considered a
delicccy. Birds nests are seldom i'm.
ported on account Of their high price.

WOMAN MORE HONEST THAN NAN.


7: hos often been noted that women
are more honorable il money matters
than men, and that it far less rare to
have & small loan paid back by wo-
man than by man. This fact again
appears to us to be fully explained
by the trustee theory Of woman
attitude toward money. Women's
are not honester in other things than
men, but the notion Of money being q
trust overrides and dominates her Their
considerations. The man who borrovs
is very apt to forget all about the mat
ter. The woman who borrows feels
that e double trust runs with the
money and she cannot rest till she has
repaid 1t. No doubt there ere here
also many exceptions, because there
are many bad women. But at least it
is safe to say THAT women are far less
careless about money matters than
men, and therefore less likely to com.
mil the small acts Of pccuniary dis
honorabteuess which come from nesli-
gcnce. Take it as q whole women are
more careful about money matters
than men aud attach more Importance
to money. Hence it happens that they
never make great fortunes, seldom 20
bankrupt and generally nre rather
more scrupulous than men IN small
Dpruula-y transactions -Ttn Srnrto

TIE CEST TYPE or EoS;ur.

The bonnets with the soft, waving
brins. are generally becoming. The
multiplying Of shapes is necessary to
suit the bonusts to the varied types of
the American face. The best mi!iiners
have learned the necessity OF fitting
and adar thug bonnets and hats to the
individual; they do not attempt, cs
too many aressgnahers do. to Fit all
their customers from few imported
models, without regard to the iaIi-
