BILLIONS OF STORED EGGS.
The Result of an Attempt by Packers
to Corner the Market.

One of the most peculiar situations
known exists in the United States to-
day. The situation is the result of
storing eggs in an attempt to control
the market. There are liable to be
two results. One is that the people of
the country will have cold-storage eggs
foisted upon them as the newly laid
product. The other is that the people
who attempted to corner" the market
will suffer heavy losses.
The beginning of the "cornering'' eff
fort dates back to last summer. At
that time, it is said, the Chicago pack
ers evolved the scheme of buying up
all the eggs that could possibly be
gathered together and storing them
until the supply became scarce. AS is
usual in schemes, it was anticipated
that the scarcity would send the price
sky high. Then the stored eggs were
to be unloaded on the market and a
fortune was TO be made for the pack
ers. 1t is figured that 1000 900 cases,
each case containing 30 dozen eggs.
were stored away. To the industrious
hen, whose capacity is one egg a day.
this Is an exceedingly large amount.
The scheme to control the market
fell through. There was no call for
the stored eggs and the packers began
to lie awake O. nights thinking. At
present the hens are beginning to lay
fresh eggs. These are coming into
the market and no one wants the
stored eggs.
little figuring will show how enor-
nous the loss will be. There are Z
100000 cases of eggs, or 100000. 900
dozen, stored throughout the country.
These were bought up at Is cents a
dozen. The present price of eggs a doz-
en- outside of Cleveland is on an average
four cents less dozen than the price
at which the stored egg IS were bought.
This will mean loss of about IS. 400.
600 to the packers. 1t ia conjectured
that there are 5000 cases of the stored
eggs in this city. The loss here will
also be very large.
1t is reported that the packers In
this vicinity have a way out of the di-
lemma. 1t is said that next summer,
the eggs will be mixed with fresh
ones and that in that way the old
product will be sold to the unsuspect-
ing public.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

BRlTAIN'S RIGHT-HAND MAN.
Lord Kitchener of Khartum, Who
Has Made Himself a Machine"


Lord Kitchener's achievements in
the Sudan and his brilliant conduct of
the campaign which made him famous
are OF too recent date to make a re-
capitulation of them necessary: but a
few extracts of personal and graphic
character taken from a pen sketch by
our war correspondent, G. w. Stevens.
written just after the fall of Omdur-
man, will serve to show as clearly as
may be the kind of a man Lord Rob
erts will have to assist him in the
South African campaign.
You can't imagine the sirdar," saws
Mr. Stevens, otherwise than as see
ing the right manly unerring, he is
more like machine than a man. You
feel that he ought to be patented and
shown with pride at the Paris inter-
national exhibition. British Empire:
exhibit No. 1, hors concours the SUI
dan machine.
The sirdar is never in hurry.
With immovable self-control he holds
back from each step until the ground
10 consolidated under the last.
His officers and men are wheels in
the machine; he feels them enough to
make them efficient, and works them
as mercilessly as he works himself. He
VIII have no married officers in his
army; marriage interferes with work.
An officer who breaks down with the
climate goes on the sick list at once: ;
next time he goes, and the Egyptian
army bears him on its strength no
more.
II you suppose, therefore, that the
sirdar is unpopular, he is not. No
general is unpopular who always beats
the enemy. When the columns move
out or camp in the evening to march
all night through the dark, they know
not whittier. and fight at dawn with an
enemy they have not seen, every man
goes forth with a tranquil mind. He
may personally come back, and he
may not; but about the general result
there is not doubt You bet your
boots the sirdar knows, and he
wouldn't fight If he weren't going to
win. Other generals have been better
loved; none was ever better trusted.
SO far as Egypt is concerned, he is
the man OF destiny-the man who
has been preparing himself for sixteen
years for one great purpose: the man
who has sifted experience and cor
rected error; who has worked out
small things and waited for great.

their axes making various angles with
the horizontal, their pectorals folded
to their sides. When swimming slow
ly it is chiefly by the use of the pee
torals. The strokes OF the pectoral
are lazily given, and the fish glides on
after a stroke till its impetus is ex-
hausted, when another stroke is de-
livered. The fishes frequently roll
slightly from side to side at the ex-
haustion of the result of a stroke.
When swimming rapidly the pectorals
are folded to the sides, and their loco
motion is then similar to that of a
salamander-by the motion of the
tail. They readily adjust themselves
to different depths, and are usually
perfect philosophers, quiet, dignified,

minnows and sunfshes which are

almost impossible to capture them
