DANISH EXPORT OF EGGS.
There Has Been an Immense Growth
of the Trade within Five
Years

In 1898 we scarcely knew Denmark
as an egg producer; but in that wear
was founded the first Danish coopera.
tive society for the export of eggs.
The same system which had succeeded
with butter was now to be applied to
eggs, says the London Mail The cnun.
Try was divided up into districts: each
district had in some railway station
o eoi'ectiag depot. aud all members of
,he society were bound to deliver three
times week at the depot. The depot
agent refused, or had a right to refuse.
all eggs more than four days old. and
every producer of each district had
distinctive number branded on the
egg. Thus, ia the event Of an egg prov.
ing bad. the depot which shipped II
would be proceeded against. and by
means Of the distinctive number the
depot agent would be able to detect
the producer, on whom the loss would
finally fall.
hN thus guaranteeing absolute
freshness and making good any occa.
sioual loss, the Danes established A
ai9A standard. and so created con,
"nu'us demand. And what Is the re-
sa't' In 1Sa5-the first year of the
aNperiment-there were established
SIX local cgy societies. with an agpre-
gate Of 1000 members: in 1900 there
were actually no fewer than s37 sep
arate coopsra live societies. with a to.
tai membership OF 10000 producers,
l. IL Surprising thar Denmark should
send to England alone 3OO,O 600, 900 of
eggs annually?

Xafermelons.

THE watermelon season is now at its
height and about dozen ear loads have
already been sent out. The crop Is some
what inferior in quantity as compared
with ordinary years. but the quality is
as excellent as ever aud the melons are
large, handsome and luscious. An al
most unprecedented frost in June cut the
vines down so that the melon growers
despaired Of any crop at all, but the vines
came ont and male an almost miracu-
lou.ly quick growth, and brought forth
melons at the accustomed tune. The
way that nature hurried to get ihose
melons ripe by the early part Of August
IS a marvel TO those who observed. The
fruit however, is set more sparsely on

, STRANGE RITUAL MURDER.
Capital Crime Committed by Man In
Germany Under Singular
Circumstances.

A German named Lebedeer, serving
in the French foreign legion, has
told strange story about ritual
murder to the officers of court
martial assembled at Orah in Al
geria, says the London Telegraph
The soldier was being tried for hav-
ing made away with his military eff
fects, and he excused himself by
stating that he was preparing to de-
sert, as he was afraid that he wI
about to be arrested as the man who
killed and cut up young Catholic
student named Worser, at Koenitz,
about two years ago. This was a
case of what is known as ritual mur-
der, and it caused much sensation at
the time of its preparation.
Lebedeer's story is that he was out
of work one day at Koenitz and a
man offered him money to accom-
pany him to a synagogue. There he
saw some masked men, who ordered
him, under pain of death, to kill a
young student who was asleep in the
place, and who had evidently been
drugged. Lebedeer had TO do what
he was told. He cut up the body,
and the blood was drained into a
silver basin. Whm all was over
Lebedeer was paid, and was told that
whenever he wanted assistance he
had only to present a sealed letter
given to him by the masked men to
any Jews whom he should meet. He
used the letter at Breslau and at
i'rankfort-on-the-Main, and then en-
tered French territory. Fearing ar
rest he joined the foreign legion.
Lebedeer was condemned by the
eourt-martial to six months impris-
onment and magistrate has been
appointed to see if his extraordinary
story can stand verfcation, or fife
merely told it for the purpose of
avoiding military Dunishment

Now Is good time TO consider the
adyisability Of providing pest house.
1t is a foolish man who waits until II
rains to shinele his roof. "ln time OF
peace, prepare for war" etc. Now
when, as far as known, there is no such
thing as contagious disease in ou: city
and no present likelihood Of there ever
being any this proposition can be con
sidered without Mysteries. There should
be pest houss and there should be
some place in which to quarantine
suspects Last year when smallpox
was discovered in one Of our Lotels, the
house and all the inmates, 10 people,
were quaranlined. The quarantine was
effective and the disease did not spread
in the slightest from this source outside
the hotel, but all the inmates had 10
undergo siege Of smallpox before the
quarantine could be lifted. II there bad
been some place provided whereby the
persons suspected OF exposure could
have been isolated, perhaps there would
have been only one or two cases instead
OF over dozen and the quarantine
could have been lifted much sooner.
There is no reason for believing that
cases OF Manila smallpox will not DRIFT
down TO Southern Oregon from the
Northern towns next winter, as it did
last winter and the winter before. Now
is the time to prepare for It or any other
contagious disease to which human flesh
is heir. A town Of our Dimensions
should have some provision for handling
such diseases anyway and lie not good
policy to wait until they come before
beginning preparation.
