In the report of the trade OF Italy
for the years 1898 and 1899, by Sir
George Bonham, secretary to her ma
jestys embassy at Rome, there Is an
interesting paragraph describing the
system adopted for the expectation Of
eggs to England for pastry. The shell
is removed, and the interior OF the
egg-white and yolk together-is pack
ed in air-tight vessels or drums con-
tanning each 1000 eggs. Great care is
taken to ensure the eggs being fresh,
and to exclude the air, as one bad egg
spoils all the remainder, and renders
the consignment unstable. The new
system has the advantage Of removing
the risk OF breakage. and Is also pre-
ferred by the pastry cook for whose
use they are intended. AS to the ex-
tent of the trade in eggs, the report
that in 1897 Russia exported
to England over 354 1000, 000.-Mark

Tho Art Of Complimentiue.

Compliments are the poetical touches
which redeem the monotony Of prosaic
existence. In the intercourse Of sym
pathetic people they have a natural
place. and 1t Is as pleasant to recog-
nize by word or look the charms OF our
friends as 1t Ia to profit by them. Profit
we do, undoubtedly. as all that makes
life fairer makes It better, and whole
some discernment Of good traits must
ndd to our faith in human nature and
its capabilities. Rigid moralists do
clare that compliments are SO akin to
fattery that 1t Is wrong to use praise
In any way. This is most intolerab'e,
and not to be endured for all need
both to give and receive encourage
ment in this practical and hurrying
world. And. reprehensible as hard ma
lures find It, there is a charm In open
ing our eyes to the attra actions OF others
and a warm, healthy glow accom-
pauies the utterance OF words which
st+ost orr admiration.

AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.

Capture Of Negroes In 1o4S BY IN
American Ships Grow.
The story OF the first American voy-
age to Africa, OF which we have a
definite record, tells US somewhat OF
the methods employed in obtaining
savage cargoes. A Boston ship, COM
manded by one Capt Smith, went
away to MADEIRA with salt fish and
slaves Sailing thence. with the pro-
ceeds Of her sale, she touched on the
coast Of Guinea" for slaves. She found
some London slave vessels already
there, with their captains very much
disgruntled because trade was dull.
There were very few slaves for sale,
that is, and to liven matters a little,
the Yankees and the Londoners united,
and "on pretense Of some quarrel with
the natives landed a 'murderer'-the
expressive name of small cannon-at-
tackled a negro village on Sunday, kill
ed many Of the Inhabitants and made
few prisoners, two OF whom fell to the
share OF the Boston ship" That was
In 1e42-just twenty-si years after the
Cutchman landed the slaves in Vir-
ginia, as recorded by John Rolfe. the
first American sQuaw man. False pre-
tense, outrage and slaughter Of inno-
cents characterized the frst-recorded
gathering Of slaves in which the Amer
lean ship had part. They killed many
Of the inhabitants" and got two slaves
for their share OF the plumber. That
Capt. Smiths act was not according to
the ordinary usages Of the trade may
be inferred from what happened when
he returned to Boston. A quarrel with
the ships owners over the proceeds
of the voyage resulted in a law suit.
The story of the voyage was told in
court, and although it was not q GRIM
inal trial, one of the magistrates
charged the master with a three-fold
offense-murder, man-stealing and
Sabbath breaking" The captain es-
capped punishment On these charges on
the ground that the court had no turis-
diction over crimes committed in
Africa "a decision that was typical OF
what was to Gomez, but the two slaves
were returned home.-"The Slave
Trade in America" by John r. Spears

REMARKABLE CAREER
OF DIR. Thomas W. Evans Who Died Re-
Gently in Paris.

OF DIR. Thomas W. Evans Who Died Re-
Gently in Paris.
DR.. Thomas w. Evans, the famous
dentist who died recently in Paris, only
a few months ago came to this country
to bury his wife, and now he has close
~ followed her to the great beyond.
DR.. Evans was born in Philadelphia
and decided when only Is years old to
become a dentist. When 10 years old
he graduated from the Jefferson Med
ical College and two years later went
to London. In 1916 he went to Paris
and made great reputation there, re-
ceiving from the courts of Europe more
honors and decorations than have ever
been conferred on any European Of
less than royal blood. the single excep-
ton being Bismarck.
Napoleon III. was among his earliest
patrons, and through him he was intro
duced to the family of the King Of
Denmark. Among his other patients
there were the Kings daughters, after
ward the Princess Of Wales, the EN-
press OF Russia and the Duchess of
Cumberland; also his sons, the future
Kings Of Greece and Denmark.
