quest OF the political leaders who,
Aug. %, decided to ask him to define
the course he would follow regarding
certain political isuses, particularly
the application of the Platt amend

"The United States government ia

that there was gangrenous spot

ENGLISH HENS NOT LAYING.
Fewer Eggs Than U@unf This Year
and the British Farmer Ia Said
10 Be at Fault.

Another British industry is on the
wane. The British hen is laying even
fewer eggs than usual at this lean time
of year Even the comfort that it is
hen and not man that is behind the
times is denied. The principal reason
given for the shortage is the hidebound
medievalism of the British farmer. The
result is that the average town house
holder can scarcely get dependable
new-laid egg to put upon his break
fast table, even at an extortionate
price. says London paper.
The annual consumption Of eggs in
London in the course of year is esti-
mated at 650,o0o,ooC. Great Britain
consumed last year eggs to the value
of f10-ooo,0o0. English farms could
produce all these without the displace-
ment of other agricultural products.
But so sadly behind his proper place
is the British farmer that he allowed
the foreigner to send in during 1899 no
fewer than .94o,ooC, 900 eggs, to the
value of f5.O44,3 1892.
The Poultry Organization society de-
fines a new-laid egg as not more than
three days old in warm weather or
five days in winter. It's expert says:
IF the home farmer would only ar
range for his young hens to commence
laying eggs by November land it can
easily be done by Matching early
there would soon be better supply of
new-laid eggs"
Here is little illustration showing
the proportion of foreign ones i'm
ported The eggs consumed in Great
Britain in year. if loaded into rail-
way wagons would make a train $50
miles long. containing $4,000 trucks. OF
these $50 miles rs would be foreign, so

POOR PAY OF GERMAN JUDGES.
Ths Profession OF Law Ez Not
Highly HonOr~d Among
the Teutons.

The whole question of the remunera-
ton of public officials in Germany. and
especially in Berlin is beginning to de-
mand serious attention. says the Lon
don Telegraph. English. Scotch or
Irish Judges would be amazed if they
were informed of the miserable salaries
81 500 a year is considered above the
average-which their German col
leagues receive for labors which in
many cases are far more eNacting than
their own. In the days when Prussia
was a small agricultural state and the
standard of life in the towns was low.
such salaries, combined with the honor
of being a Prussian official. may have
been adequate. Nowadays the honor
of the position is the only attraction.
and able men who are poor find an Off
cial career an expensive luxury.
The profession of law. moreover. ex-
cept in its highest official grades. is
not honored in Germany as it is in Eng
land. win il be believed that barris-
ter. as such. cannot be received at
court? There is a true story of for
eign barrister who was invited to at
tend court function in Berlin and who
was also requested. in accordance with
the Prussiau custom. to state his pro-
fession at the chamber.ain's office. He
replied: al am rechtsanwalt" (bar-

other description Of your quality?'

BLACK AND TAN.
Casual Meeting with CfffxeH who

Clearly il was not the paying of q

could be blackened they'd do; they'd do

of thing; that is. where they changed
tan shoes to black. and he told the man
with the odd shoes where this was. as
nearly as he could remember. giving
him. at the same time. sum sufficient
to enable him TO get the shoes thus
mated up in color; not much was re-

pecuniary resources. as evidenced not
alone by his odd shoes but BY various

All, that was a marvellous world into
which Deronda went--a world where
one wore dainty clothes from dawn
till dawnl A world where the chief
function of the women was to charm
that of the men to serve with the most
exquisite courtesy. And the need of adj
miration she received, when her west
ern dresses had been discarded for
beautiful gowns. was new to her. Very
sweet II was. too. To be sure. she had
known what it was to have young men
besiege her for dances and hang upon
her words. But in one case those who
had given her tribute were clumsy and
rough handed country boys. The men
TO whom her later environment intro
duced her possessed that indefinabIe
air of breeding. of culture. of distinc-
ton which can be neither bought nor
acquired. And abe found the melody of
