Ever since the Pilots Association for

THE SUMS total ECLIPSE.


Professor Bige1ow's Interesting Talk OF
the Phenomenon.
Prof. F. H. Bigelow has written an
interesting statement of the total
eclipse of the sur May 28th, 1900.
The path of the shadow, he says, will
begin at sunrise over the Pacific Ocean
Just 10 the west of Mexico, and extend
thence northeastward over the Southern
States from New Orleans to Norfolk,
crossing the middle portions of the
North Atlantic to Portugal and ter
minating near the northern end OF the
Red Sea at sunset.
The location If the track in the
United States is remarkable for Its con-
venient accessibility to a multitude of
people. He estimates that more than
half million persons will see the total
eclipse of more or less duration from
their homes, and many more will take
advantage Of the opportunity to see the
event of lifetime.
Educators should encourage their
students to see it, and he suggests II
would be popular thing for the rail
roads to arrange for excursions to the
cities and localities affording the mest
favorable opportunities for sight, as
there are good hotel accommodations
through all the section affected.

Bradstreet's Saturday announces that
satisfactory advices as to expanding
spring trade in dry goods and kindred
lines come from a number of markets.
That the aggregate business of the
country is of good volume otherwise is,
however, indicated by detailed reports
of increases in trade as compared with
last year, confirmed by satisfactory
railroad earnings reports, by far gains
in bank clearings and by reports of
better demand for money in commercial
channels. A year ago. it may be re-
called, extremely stormy weather was
experienced, and some effects, notably
those on winter sown crops, were very
unfavorable. This year opposite coll
ditions have ruled, and though some
talk of lack of snow in the grain grow
ing regions is heard, no widespread
damage from cold weather is yet noted.
ANY review of trade would be in
complete which failed to take into ac-
count the interesting situation of our
export trade. Notwithstanding the
heavy shrlnkage in shipments of aeri-
cultural products, notably breadstuffs,
sn!maIs, provisions and cotton, there
is an actual gain shown in the total OF
January exports over year ago, and,
ia fact, over every preceding january

WHITE CUSTARDS.
Pous upon the unbeaten whites of.
three eggs a pint of hot milk. Add a
heaping tablespoonful Of graduated
sugar, and stir until this is entirely dis
solved. Flavor with few drops OF va
nilla or other essence, turn the mixture
into custard cups that have been well
rinsed in cold water set these in drip
ping pan of boiling water, cover, and
bake in steady oven until tina custards
are firm. They may either be eaten from
the cups in which they were baked or al
lowed to become very cold and then
turned out and eaten with cream, plain
or whipped.
These will be found to be more deli
cate In taste thnn the ordinary custard
made with the yolks of the eggs and are
more readily digested.
RICE CREAM. I.

three waters. Put it then in double
boiler with pint of fresh milk. Set II
at the side of the stove and let the rice
cook steadily for about three hours. BY
the end OF this time IL shoulu ne SO soi'
