CURRENT COMMENT.

Great Britain continues TO be our best
customer. The Baltimore Sun Oem)
saws: ''In the year ended Dec. 81, 1898,
we sold to the United Kingdom $53S ,661, ,7S7
of exports, against $4S2 695, ,024 in 1897, while
we bought of that country directly but
$111, ,S61 SIT of imports, against S159, ,O02, ,2S6
worth in 1897. We sold our English cousins
four times as much as we bought from
them The balance was settled largely,
o. course, by our purchases from coun-
tries to which England exports more than
we do England takes of US mostly wheat,
lard. cotton, corns leather, hams, beef.
copper and other manufactured articles.
We bought from her chiefly worsted and
woolen goods, wool, cotton goods. jute
goods, linen goods. tin plates, earthenware,
alkah, bleaching materials and hardware.
While we do not buy of England as much
as we sell her, still we buy of her more
than we buy from any other country,
and we take from her a larger proportion
of our imports than any other foreign
country mot a colony takes"
The Richmond Dispatch Dem) says of
the McEnery resolution: "On the whole,
the resolution could not have played more
nicely into the hands of the administra>

ceded a great principle for which the
Democrats have been contending, but at
the same time leaves them free handed
to obstruct the way to the materializa-
ton of that principle They are left free
to hold with the hare and run with the
hounds, without serious influence, until
they can make the, occasion ripe for taxi
ing a decided and summary step in con-
summation OF their policy"
Referring to the punishment of Gen.
Eagan, the Boston Herald Qnd) says.
"The fate of Gen, Eagan may not be ex-
emplary from the point of view OF strict
military discipline in the army but II
touches a soldiers sense of honor, which
ought to be dearer to him than his life
The mere fact that Gen. Eagan is to go
on for six years receiving the $500 annual
pay of a brigader general, without the
privilege of wearing his uniform or taxi
ing part in service is not looked upon as a
happy fate"

A NEW CUPID.

A great many persons in the Northern
part OF this country seem 10 be unable to
consider the negro seriously. Many Of
them look upon him somewhat in the
light of pet. or a toy, TO be played with

times because of his quaintness. At vari-
Gus periods the negro has become prac-
tically a fad. At the present time, in

sound of the tenor's voice The little
negro had been cautioned to lie very still
on the platter lest he roll off, and he
obeyed till ne was on the table, looking
up into the eyes of the queen of the occa-

The Boston people seem disposed to hold
Secretary Alger personally responsible for
the "embalmed beef which Gen. Miles
says was served to the soldiers. While
the presidential party was at the Hub"
the other day, the war secretary was sew
eral times hissed, according to the report
of the New York Evening Post. Partic-
ularly was the unfriendly demonstration
noticeable at the corner of Park and Bea-
con streets, which is a very prominent To-
cation. A very large crowd had gathered
at that corner. AS the secretary passed
in carriage some one called out: "What
is the matter with Alger?" Yah, yah,
yah! Beef, Beef?' yelled the crowd. Such
a demonstration must have been very un-
pleasant to the secretary. coming, as it
did, upon the heels of the report of the
war investigating commission.

EGGS and Germs.

1t was formerly thought that an egg
must be safe eating whatever the sur
roundings, since its shell covered COM
pletely the part eaten, but it has now
been shown Enthusiastically that germs Of
disease can even find their way through
an eggshell For instance, the typhus
bacillus and the cholera bacillus have
both been found to make their way
through an unbroken eggshell in about
16 hours and locate themselves in the
nutrient contents
This is a clear indication, therefore,
that the greatest care should be exer-
cised in the storage and handling Of
eggs since they may thus be made We
hicles for most deadly poisons. Doubt
less the immunity from such evils which
we enjoy in our use of eggs as food is
due to the fact that we generally cook
them in high temperature before we
eat them and thus deal death to the
germs and safety to ourselves. Good

Primitive Man,

Mans closest relative in the family
of nature is the ape. This is familiar
fact. But it is net so generally known
that man approaches in bodily confor-
nation more and more nearly to his in
ferior relative the lower and lower his
state of cultivation. Where and when
was the line drawn! Quite recently
some skulls and skeletons of races con-
temporary in France with the reindeer
have been discovered, and they have
afforded material for the above conclu-
sion. The characteristics of the animal
the low forehead and the projecting
mouth disappear in man s conflict with
circumstances. Mental labor CT course
develops the brain, and the forehead
becomes upright and the projecting
countenance recedes under the skull. 1t
is also the belief among scientists that
the primeval Europeans were cannibals
and inferior, in spite Of their white
skins, to the lowest type of existing saw
agery-the Australian bushman. All
this chain of deductions and much more

man Brings Them Down.

AtAh DE1n&9 IhGm down.
The chopper approaches the tree with
a plumb line. If the top does not lean
more than two feet in the case of a
large tree or more than four in the
case of small one, he considers that
he can fell it in any direction he may
desire. He then views the ground and
selects the most promising "lay out, :"
and the undercut is made exactly fac
ing it. The "undercut" usually extends
about one-third through, and then the
tree is sawed in from the back to meet it.
When the two cuts are within six
inches of meeting, the saw is removed,
and the tree is wedged up until the top
passes the center of gravity, when it
falls by its own weight, easily breaking
the strip Of wood remaining
Where the surface of the ground is
such that it is necessary for the butt
and the top to strike the ground stimuli
taneously, the stump is snubbed off at
the undercut, which provides a slant
ing surface, so that the butt has no
place to rest and perforce slides to the
ground.
II the tree needs to be rolled off to
one side, half the undercut is slanted,
and pile of chips is placed on the fat
surface of the other half The result
never fails to manifest the efficacy of
this device. Again, by leaving one side
of the uncut wood between the under
cut and the saw cut thicker than the
other the tree NAV he drawn consider
ably away from it's natural course.
