Bad Eggs.

WASHINGTON, May , Consul
Halstead, writing from Bennington
about butter and eggs in England
says French eggs have been dis
credited III Great Britain because
the farmers are in the habit of
keeping them days or weeks for
better prices. Denmark, by great
care, is building an immense trade
in eggs with London. Co-opera-
tive societies in Denmark undertake
that only fresh eggs be exported.
To ascertain, for example, by
what member Of the society bad
egg has been furnished, the shell
of every egg is required to be
marked with an india rubber stamp,
so that the person by whom the
egg was supplied may be at once
identified. DepotS are established
along the lines of railway, and
each producer is required to make
delivery of eggs at least three
times week. At each depot
there is an agent of the society
who has right to refuse any eggs
about which suspicion arises or
which are more than four days old.
The approved eggs are sorted ac-
cording TO size. The inspection
takes place with n lamp in dark
ened chamber, and the discovery
of "A single rotten egg in London
would be followed by a heavy
claim against the Danise depot
which furnished it.

Hawaiian Politics.

Honolulu, April ~, via San

to meet in Honolulu May 10. All
persons who believe in the princi-
pies Of the Republican party as laid
down by the last national conven-
ton are invited to meet in their
respective localities and elect dele
gates to this convention. Repre-
sentation is accorded upon the ba-
sis of the representation of the sew
eral districts in the last house of

addition to organizing the party
the convention will select delegates
to represent the territory in the

Gratis have made no move towards
organizing in any part of the is
lands.

Curious Ancient Custom.

In oldcn days there was a curious
custom in Alexandria. In this Egyp-
tain city at stated and appointed
times certain persons were commits
stoned to drive through the streets,
and, llalting at whatever door they
pleased, to chant aloud the faults OF
which the jewellers of that house were
guilty. That one might not careless
ly reproach anyone, they were re-
quired beforehand to inquire into the
manner of life of each citizen, The
object OF this custom was that men
might be led in the paths of virtue by
the thought Of the shame which was
publicly provided for eyil-doers.
