stricting production for a term of three

this must be done if the trade was to
be preserved from a panic. They also

Duck E~ys,

The duck eggs produced il this coun-
try amount probably to les than one
half Of per cent Of the total eeE FRO
duction. Still, there are sola III the
course of the season u great many thou
sand duck eggs. The season is brief,
lasting practically only about two
months, from March / to May /, and
the larger proportion Of TIE eees come
II the first = days CT that period.
Among the wholesale egg dealers Of
New York there are only three or four
that handle duck eggs largely.
About two-thirds Of the duck eggs
brought to this market come from the
shores Of Chesapeake bay, the rest main
" from Virginia and from New Orleans.
Duck eggs sold i'll the west come more
largely from the south. Baltimore eggs.
which include eggs from along the
Chesapeake bay, are the best. Such eggs
bring at wholesale 5 to S cents a dozen
more than eggs from farther south.
at retail duck eggs sell for about
twice as much as hens eggs. Weight
fer weight they sell for about the same,
the duck eggs being so much larger.
They are used for the same purposes as
hens eggs. They are bought mainly by
people Of foreign birth.
There is 3 market for all the duck
eggs produced New York Sun.

TURKISH CUSTOM HOUSE.
The Troubles Travellers Have. Especially
With Books and Maps.

/ u Troubles travellers Have. Especially
| With Books and Maps.
Many amusing stories are told of the
trouble American travellers have had
with the custom house authorities IN
Turkey, especially with books and
maps. In the old days ones baggage
would be dumped down on the landing
place at ConstantiEople, and a turbaned
old Turk, tchibouk III hand, would go
through a ~pantomime OF examining
Cne's effects, which would be abruptly
brought to an end by the application of
ali appropriate coin to the palm of his
hand. But the political Troubles that
began some years ago III the Ottoman
empire caused the government TO insti-
tute q more stringent system, and there
is low at Ccnstantinople a custom
house more after the American style.
where a number of effendis, in fezes
and Stambouii coats of the regular ctii-
cial cut, pry into ones luggage with
particular care in search Of papers and
books and maps Of a revolutionary tend
ency or i'll which words forbidden to
he printed in Turkey may be found.
During the height Of the Armenian
agitation especially close search was al
ways made for anything with the word
Armenia" III it, and whatever it was
found in was summarily confiscated.
On the occasion of my last visit to Con-
stantinople / happened to have a map
o. Asia Minor among my papG.s, the
discovery OF which greatly agitated the
examining efIendi, who spoke III a lam
2 age he thought was French. "Ah,
AEtea MeeHoorP' he exclaimed az be
spread 1t cut. continuing in his Turkc-
french, SHOW me Erzerum." Having
pointed out to him the spot where that
city was TO be found, be hegan running
his finger over the map until he struck
upon the letter A. This seemed almost
TO take bis breath away, but when a
short distance to the right of it he
found the letter r he fairly Gasped.
lie detection Of the letter NJ following
II was lik7 an electric shock, and a
bomb explosion could not have startled
him more than the discovery OF the let-
ter Z. By the time he had deciphered
the remaining letters, MA, I saw that
the game was up, and as he folded I'D
my precious map and in stern and
measured syllables announced to me
that it was "de-fon-dew, con-is-kay,"
