at 15 or IS cents at any, other season would be as cheap and are more satisfactory than 9-cent eggs.
 Patrons of irst-class eating places need have no fear, however, of being served with eggs that are not perfectly sound for cooks are careful to see that only good eggs go on the table,
 Another restaurant man said to the re- porter that he bought his eggs from cer- tain grocer who managed to get fresh from six to eight dozen eggs a day." he said, "and 1t is seldom that my cook comes across an egg that is not all rignt It makes all the difference where you get your eggs. There is no trouble if eggs are fresh.
 "It is only when they are shipped in large quantities that the bad eggs are much in evidence. If the country mer- chant is week in accumulating his egg stock for shipment and then if they are in the hands of the commission merchant for several days and in the hands of the local grocer several days more before poor condition.
 ''The seceret, then, of having good eggs on the table is very simple. See that they are fresh. That is all. I need hardly re- mark that nothing is so universally dis liked as a bad egg" |

CHARITY WORK
 IN BIRMINGHAM
Societies and Institutions Thai Relieve Suffering and Care
 for the Friendless

Birmingham has a number of organ. ized charities, several Of them being church auxiliaries But the largest char ity work is done at St. vincent's Hospital and at the Mercy Home St. Vincent f rarely, has less at any time than thirty five free patients, and during the year these charity cases will run high into the hundreds. ttDf ft'
 The Hillman Hospital Association docs as much charity work as it's limited quar- ters will admit, and after it builds new honre this fall it will be ready to take care of d considerable number of char ity patients.
 Tbe pillman will be large four-story structure and will be model emergency hospl-,al in every deteiL Walter and Ul. man are the architects. There plans have been approved and the work of con struction will be let to contract early ir the .coiairg fall '..t..
 St. Vincents is one of the forty mag nificent hospitals built and operated in the United States by the Sisters of Char ity. It is a most imposing building and in its equipment is unsurpassed in this country. It has now a capacity of over 15O beds and when an extra wing Is added it will accommodate 25O beds.
 The admirable manner tn which St. vincent's is conducted has commended the institution to all the physicians and surgeons of Birmingham, and Alabama as for, that matter, and 10 all the great corporations and labor unions of the Bir- mingham district. s.e.a ,

this animal in the United States and the largest one in the world When alive Pete weighed nearly 1000 pounds the manikin covered with his skin, which is now in the academy, weighs only 15OO pounds.
 The preparation of the hide was the most difficult work the taxidermist had to do It was originally from one to three inches thick and required three months to pare it down and tan so that 1t could be put on the frame. While this was being done five mon were required to handle each of the three sections of hide.
 The frame manikin, which holds the skin is covered with lath. over which is distributed 600 pounds of prepared clay. This was put on exactly as plaster is put on the walls and ceilings of room Then the prepared hide was carefully placed over the counterfeit body of the rhinoc- eros, the taxidermist following closely the many folds of the hide as they hung on the animal during its life time.
 "Old Pete" was one of two of his spe- cies which were taken to London in 1865. At that time he was fully grown, and T B. Manley, the head keeper at the Zoo, who was his constant attendant for more than twenty-one years, said recently that he believed the animal was seventy years old when 1t died. The other rhinoceros that was captured with Pete Is still in the London Geological Gardens.

THE GREATEST COMPANY
 IN ALL THIS SOUTHLAND 88
 The Tennessee Coal Iron Railroad Company-tS Magni- tude and Importance as Developer in the
 Great Mineral District of Alabama

finds a market in thirty-five states and territories of the Union, and in the follow ing foreign countries: England Holland, Italy, Germany, Austria, Ireland, Mexico and Russia.
 With it's capital stock of S23, GOO 900, this great corporation has worked wonders in the industrial development of the South.
 It will be remembered that the Tennes- see, Coal Iron &Railroad Company made the first basic iron ever turned out in Ala bama, and demonstrated it's fitness for steel manufacture at the mills in the North. They followed this with the erec- ton of the great steel mill at Ensley at a cost of over $1,OO0,OOO; and are now de- monstrating the ability of Alabama steel producers to invade Northern markets at the very outset of Southern steel produe- ton.
 With such a corporation in our midst no wonder the Birmingham district, so rich in natural resources, Is bounding ahead so rapidly in the march of progress an1 development.

 A chimpanzee of size is worth 5000, and when one reaches the intelligence of the late MT. Crowley. Chico or Johanna, he is beyond a fixed price. The monkey kind are most uncertain property. The animal man says they are certain to die. But the ordinary ones can be bought very cheaply.
 One can buy a nice young baby ele- phant for s1o0O' at times, but really good animal is worth from $1S00 to 5000.

middle of July until Christmas the pro- duce market is exceptionally active. Chickens are in great demand and so are vegetables and fruits.
 In August potatoes and cabbage are shipped in car load lots from far off points, Virginia truckers supplying a large part of the demand. It is not un- common to see as many as ten car loads of cabbage unloading here in one day.
 For a week. or two past the produce merchants have been getting potatoes mostly from Alabama points, but now this popular vegetable is beginning to come from Missouri.
 Comparatively little of the butter sold in Birmingham is produced in this sec tion, and not one-third of the eggs and chickens used hereabouts are Alabama products.
 There is considerable truck farming in Alabama and in Jefferson county this in- dustry is increasing. The reason that Alabama truckers do not supply this mar ket with fall and winter potatoes and cabbage is not because they haven't tried or are indifferent to the situation. It is simply because the climate is not suited to products that will keep. A commis- sion merchant, in conversation with an Age-Herald reporter yesterday said: ''It is true our climate is against winter po- tatoes and winter cabbage. These and winter fruit must be brought from the higher attitudes, But there is no excuse for Alabama not producing enough eggs and chickens to meet the home demand. Tennessee poultrymen do profitable business in shipping chickens and eggs to Birmingham. It looks as if Alabama poul- trymen should be able to supply this city, or come very. near it,'

Some persons may think that eggs are cheap during the dog days, because they are selling at. wholesale for g cents a dozen,. but they are very expensive" said a restaurant steward to an Age-Herald reporter yesterday.
 "You see there are so many bad eggs in nearly every lot one buys. Since this excessively hot weather struck us forty or fifty per cent of the eggs that are ship ped to market spoil before they reach the consumer. Thus 1t will be seen that eggs

 Next to the giraffe in the aristocracy of cost, come the rhinoceros and the hip popotamus, worth from 5000 to 5000 each.
