EGGS FOR ENGLAND.
More Than a Billion of Them Are
Imported Into the Island King
dom Every Single Year.

The importation of eggs into England
has increased from a value of s., 100000
in 1860 TO $50 ,O00, 900 al the present time
Why the 100, O0O, 900 eggs annually i'm
ported cannot be produced in England
is question the British public are for
ever asking the farming community.
The only answer ever given to this
query is: Because we cannot produce
them at a profit" \ Mr.. Baghot de la
Bere has made up his mind to have this
problem solved, one way or the other.
He does not believe in farmers socie-
ties, for English farmers have a quaint
way of not seeing what they don't wish
10 see, and any attempt 10 get from
them data on which to establish sci
entitic facts would in all probability
fail.
Mr.. Baghot de Ia Bere is, therefore,
putting through the test on his own ac-
count From March / each flock of forty
subjected TO the test is to be wired in
and confined upon an acre of grass run.
The same kind of food is to be given to
each and every flock, and they are to be
led twice daily. During the six spring
and summer months upon grain only
maize, wheat, barley and oats; during
the six fall and winter months in the
morning with boiled roots mixed with
meal, and in the evening with whole
grain. All food is to be purchased in
the local market, weighed and stored
in a locked shed. The eggs are TO be
counted daily and sold weekly in open
market. No fancy price realized is to
be taken account of. The number of
hours devoted weekly to the care of
the stock must be strictly noted. A
statement is to be made of the capital
involved at the start by the purchase
of stock, cost of fowl houses and other
appliances.
At the close of the year the results
are to be published in detail in all the
leading agricultural papers, as well as
widely distributed in pamphlet form
through county councils in touch with
the agricultural industry. - London

Form of Smoking Which Produces a
Distinct Type of PhysiOgnOmy
In Its Devotees.

II is declared that the constant habit
of smoking pipes has perceptible eff
feet on the face. The pressure of the
lips to hold the pipe in position in
creases the curvature of the lips round
the stem and the muscles become more
rigid here than in other parts. Thus
the lips at a certain point become
stronger and the pipe is unconsciously
held in the same habitual position.
After long continuation of the habit
small circular wrinkles form parallel
with the curvature of the lips around
the stem. These are crossed by finer
lires caused by the pressure of the lips
to retain the stem in position. In the
case of old men who have smoked pipe
for years the effect upon the lips is very
marked, not only altering the form of
the lips, but of the entire side of the
face, causing the wrinkles that are the
result of age to deepen, and instead of
following the natural course of facial
wrinkles, to change their course so as to
radiate from the part of the mouth
where the pipe is habitually carried
Furthermore, one or both lips often pro-
trude, just like the lips of people who
used to suck their thumbs when chill
dren.
The effects of pipe smoking upon the
teeth and lower jaws are even more APP
parent than in the case of the lips. If
any man who has smoked pipe for
considerable length of time will take the
trouble to examine his own teeth he
will find that at the point where he
usually holds the stem between his
teeth the latter have become worm

Far better Than Spraying.

Wormy apples may be prevented by
placing barrels half filled with water in
the orchard just as the trees are about
to open their blossoms. The moths
which fly between sunset and ten p. IN.
can be captured easily by suspending
over the water in the barrel a lighted
lantern. They are then attracted by
the light and eventually find them
selves in the water; ten lanterns to 40

RIGHT IN THE SWIM.
Hereafter the United States Will
Be a Really Great Power.
Circumstances Have Driven Us Into
the Arena of international Poll
ties Where We Must Play
an Important Part.
Especial Washington Letter

The circumstances have created them
selves. This republic has entered up
on a new epoch. Presidents are being
established which tend to radically al
ter the traditional policy of the country.
Washington could not foresee the
conditions Of the century beyond him
and hence he believed that this repub-
lie would always be isolated. President
Monroe uttered doctrine which is dear
to our people, but he could not forsee a
warfare for the protection of Spanish
subjects from Spanish tyrants upon
American soil. Lincoln, jackson, Grant
and even Cleveland could not peer int1
the future and see what destiny had in
store for us as a participant in the de
velopment OF the world.
The international lawyer, the phil
osopher who pores over the map of the
world, and studies the movements OF
nations in their onward marches, will
not need the eye of seer to discern
that in a very brief space of time the
stars and stripes will be floating over
the Philippine islands, the Hawaiian
islands, Cuba, Puerto Rico and the
Canary islands.
After taking possession of them what
viii we do with them? That is an en-
tirely different problem. Its solution
will depend upon circumstances, some
of which are yet undiscernable because
undeveloped.
Among statesmen of prominence
there is no dissent concerning the con
ditions of American development in in
ternational affairs. On the contrary
it is generally agreed that present con
ditions and visible Developments of the
future indicate the manifest destiny OF
this republic to extend its power and To
exert international influence, in order
that our strength at home may be main
tanned and the perpetuity of our insti-
tutions may be assured.
The wooden ships, with their wealth
Of spreading canvas, are of the past
The iron and steel monsters of modern
times propelled by steam require new
policies and new international consid-
erations. The people who fix their eyes
on Cuba, and who view only our mob
llzed land forces speeding TO Tampa,
have but a child's view of the interna-
tional panorama which is now unfold
ing before the statesmen of the world

lection alone, and with no primary
spirit of conquest, we should obtain
and maintain a foothold in the orient.
This is regarded as a self-eyident fact
which needs neither demonstration nor
elaboration.
1t is fact, not for moment to be
overlooked, that France desires to be
the strongest and greatest power in
southeastern Asia. France has long
coveted the Philippine islands. Diplo-
matically, if not forcibly. France will
object to the permanent conquest of
those islands by this republic. Even
now France is bristling up and prepar-
ing her navy for aggressive action.
But now that this country mas gone
forward there will be no backward
step. Our people have not generally
paid any special attention to the Phil
ippine islands, but our statesmen have
studied and learned all about them.
They lie midway between China and
Australia. They contain lis, 900 square
miles; and the British islands contain
only $4,000 square miles. The land on
the Philippine islands is almost fabu-
lousy fertile. The population is S,000,-
600, which is almost three times as many
people as there were in the American
colonies when they struck out for lib
.erty and independence. They are good
people, too. They are learning the art
of war and are winning their indie
pendence. They are fully aware of the
value of personal and national liberty.
They are but little, if any, inferior to
the people whom Gomez and Garcia are
leading in Cuba. 1t was a war necessity
that this republic should capture the
Philippine islands. We will always have
and maintain there coaling station, if
nothing more.
No nation in Europe would under
take to thwart us except France, and
she dare not. Fra ice has the second
greatest navy in the world, but she can
not use her navy to enforce any demand
upon this country without encounter
ing other navies. There may be sons
naval demonstrations in Asiatic waters,
but the fleets of Great Britain and OF
Russia will also be there. Those pow.
erful nations would rather see the Phil
ippine islands in our possession, or I'M
der our protectorate, than in the power
of any other country.
Right there lies the core of the argn-
ment of diplomacy. Right there we see
the kernel of the diplomatic nut. The
possible possession of the Philippine is
lands by this country, as the result Of
war with Spain, has constituted the
strongest argument for peace with the
powers of Europe; and yet few of our
people have realized that fact. 1t is on
this account that Spain has been unable
to secure European concert to aid her
in defending her Cuban possessions.
The powers of Europe would rather SEQ
those valuable islands under the stars

HIS BOAT FOR A LIFE.
An Instance of Real BencVOIence on
the Part of Poor Hanaha
missionary.

\ very curious and beautiful letter
was once written to President Lincoln
that would certainly have given him pc
culiar pleasure if he had read it, but he
never did. This is how it was: In 1865
some pirates from Peru captured ana
carried Of. some natives from the Mar
quesas islands in the South Seas. One
Of them was son of a powerful chief
and the father made a vow that he
would. for revenge, eat the first white
man who fell into his hands.
A man named Whalan, the first mate
of Il New Bedford whaling ship, was be.
fore many months captured by the Mar
quesaus; lie it was who must furnish {
feast for the cannibal chief; but all the
people he ruled over were not cannibals
Among them was a native missionary
from Hawaii, named Kakela. kakel1
had Just received present of a boat
from religious people in Boston, valu'
able six-oared boat that he needed much
in his missionary work. He set about
trying to save Mr.. Whalan's life, but the
chief would give him up only on one
condition he should have the new
beat in exchange for the captive. ka
kela bought him at that price, anC
helped him to leave the islands.
The story came TO President Lincoln:

rible cares that the life and death
struggle Of the nation threw on him he
Enthusiastically found time to senc
message and present to the poor
South Sea missionary. Kakela wrote 6
letter of thanks in return, which CLOSED
with these sentences: AS TO this friend
