THE SUPPLY OF EGGS.
Few Are Exported and Not Many Are
Imported.

Not many American eggs are export
ed, and not many eggs are imported;
none except in seasons when eggs here
run very high. The imported eggs come
from Sweden, Germany and Austria.
They come in boxes containing hun
dreds of dozens each, packed in chopped
straw. A few eggs in this country are
still packed in straw in barrels, but
the now well-nigh commonly used
American egg package is box contain
ing 80 or SO dozen. The eggs are packed
in the now familiar strawboard racks,
which are called filters. The eggs are
stood on end, each in pigeon hole by
itself, six dozen eggs in layer. There
are sheets of strawboard between the
layers, and eggs are packed some five
and some six layers to the box. Eggs
are most costly in winter, but cold stor-
age has done much to equalize the price
of eggs the year round.

At regular meeting of the
Virginia Business Mems Asso.
citation held on Tuesday evening,
on motion of M. L. FAY the
association was adjourned until
the first Tuesday in October,
and an order ordered drawn for
the balance in the treasury, $10..
so, in favor of the Public Ii
brary association.
But little business was brought
before the meeting, a committee
being appointed to visit Con
tractor Gulbralson and inter-
cede in behalf of the married
laboringmen of this city to be
given employment at his new
stripping contract at the Ohio.
The attendance was small,
and the fact of the apparent lack
of interest by members of the
association in the affairs aud
conduct of same, was the motive
of Mr.. Fay's motion for an ex
tended adjournment covering
the summer months.

THE NEW DRESS TRIMMINGS.
Elaborate and Striking Effects in Jet
and Braid.

The new dress trimmings for the COM
ing season are gorgeous in color and
design. Jet will be used on both skirts
and waists, but on silks and velvets ex-
clusively, while for handsome cloth
gowns braids, both silk and wool, will
be extensively employed.
The bolero and Elton effects in Jet so
popular last season will be replaced by
jet blouses or low-necked effects. The
designs of these jet trimmings are more
elaborate than any used heretofore and
the beads much larger. One Jet blouse,
designed for colored silk or satin, was
made in a clover-leaf pattern, and the
fat jet bead as large as the first joint
of mans thumb. OF course, even the
tiniest piece used in this trimming was
cut and highly polished. There was a
jet panel which covered the entire front
gore of the skirt. and two narrow
pieces outlined the back seams of the
two side breadths. These all carried
out the clover-leaf design. Another
similar set, in which even larger pieces
of jet were used, wasof bowknots. This
had a low-necked blouse, held in place
on the shoulders by bowknots with ends
as wide as one'shand. These trimmings
come in all the newest shades and in
almost as many designs as there are
flowers in the fields. For evening wear,
cut steel pearls and sets jeweled in col
ors will be used, harmonizing rather
than contrasting with the material and
color of the gown
The braid sets used on cloth gowns are
as elaborate and often quite as expen-
siye as those of jet and jewels. The
blouses, which are either low or high
necked, are of braid woven back and
forth so as to show the goods beneath.
In some patterns the little squares and
diamonds thus formed are filled in and
further ornamented by wheels or other
simple patterns worked in silk to match
the braid. The effect is very like Next
can drawn work. The skirts of these
gowns are to be trimmed with panels
OF braid in the same pattern tapering
from the point of the skirt to the waist
line, or with row after row of braid of
the same width. On some of the more
deliberately trimmed cloth gowns there
VIII be, so the tailors say, more than
200 yards of braid used.-N. Y. Sun.
