Eggs That Don't Hatcb.

have been experimenting lately on
the eggs from certain hens to find out if
there is any great difference in the way
they hatch, their vitality. etc., and
have been greatly interested in the dis
coveries. The eggs from the abnormally
fat hens seldom hatch. The chicken
usually dies OH or about the twelfth day
Of incubation. When an egg matches a
day or two in advance of time, one usu
ally concludes that it was quite fresh
when put in, but now find that it is
the eggs from the active and most
healthy hens that break the she'll first.
Five eggs from little game hen,
which were all over 8 days old, were
the first to hatch. Invariably the egg
from the sleepy, lazy hen matches late.
Out Of ~ hens whose eggs I expert
mented with found two quite sterile.
They both lay fine, large eggs of good

one whose trill lasted for two minutes
and had at least 20 changes of note in
it. This bird was sold for G1O. Chiefly
bred in the Tyrol, round the Hartz
mountains and in Thuringia, by weav-
ers and shoemakers, the German birds
are collected in August and September
by the dealers and begin to arrive in
England in October.
But few Of the very best birds come
to England, and when they do it is gen.
orally as birds of passage. In the earlier
part of the season the usual retail price
is from 5 to 10 shillings per bird, &C.
cording to the quality of the song, these
prices rising so per cent by the end of
the year. It is seldom that the finest
songster is thought to be worth more
than 80 shillings by the commercial
Englishman. Consequently the very
fine birds are either honpht nv German
birdkeepers or sent to the United States,
where they readily bring from $40 to
$40 each. The average price for the
birds in Germany is shillings per

Coffee q. a Medicine.

It is said that the first use of coffee

exciting effects of the berries when eaten

his monks awake during what should
have been their vigils. He succeeded
admirably and brought coffee into the
way of earning its worldwide reputa.

that green, or unroasted, berries had Il

One enthusiast prefers mixture of
two parts Mocha and ono sart Marti-

puts about three drar.s of this in a
tumbler of cold water and let's them
strain and infuse overnight. The next
morning, after straining, the infusion
is taken on an empty stomach the first
thing after getting up. This medical
authority cites many cases of kidney
and liver COLES, diabetes, nervous head
aches, ETC., which, though rebellious in
all other treatment for years, soon yield

remedy is very simple one and we'll
worthy of a trial. Another use of coffee
incidentally is in nausea and retching.
For that purpose a strong infusion is
made of the berries which have been
ground and roasted, and it is slipped

CRITICISM IN CoRTEs.
Carlists and Republicans Lament
Lack OF an Alliance.

Lack OF an Alliance
correspondent Of rhe Standard says: "The
sitting of the House of Deputies yester-
day Saturday was extremely interest
ing. The Carlists and Republicans had
bitterly criticised the action Of the govern
ments of the regency and the monarchy
with persisting during the last twenty
four years in a policy of too systematic
neutrality and isolation in Europe, which
now in Spain's hour of trial has deprived
her of anything but platonic sympathies.
''Senor Gullon. the foreign minister, in
the course of his reply, remarked that
ances were founded upon interest alone.
and, as Spain could offer but little other
powers could only give her little.
"Senor Silva, in a speech, which has
made a profound impression, and is re-
garded as marking a turning point in
Spanish politics. declared that as the Gu
ban problem was now reduced to ques-
ton of honor for the Spanish arms, it
behooved the ministers to assume without
hesitation, the responsibility of deciding
when the point of honor had been suf-
ficieutly satisfied. When that time had
been reached, he said, it would
be time to appeal to the
European nations so that shey
could decide what ought to be done TO
restore peace and determine the fate of
Cuba, because all the powers were inter
ested in Cuba's future.
''Senor Silvela declared that all the ideal
list foreign policies were things of the past
that nations nowadays were only moved
by their interests, and that, therefore, If
Spain sought the intervention of the pow
ers she must approach them with some
thing practical, for instance on the basis
of the Philippines Islands and With her
hands full''~
Everybody was much struck by Senior
Silvela's transparent illusions to future in
evitable sacrifices and concessions. His
eloquent and powerful speech concluded
with the plain declaration that Senior Sill
vela and his party were ready for office,
