Selling Eggs BY Weight.

Since eggs vary more OF less IN
size, it has been proposed that they
should be sold by weight rather
than by the dozen, which is tbe
usual custom in this country. The
North Carolina Experiment Station
in investigating this point, re-
corded the weight Of eggs per
dozen and the number produred
during six months by pulIets and
old hens of number of well-knOwn
breeds and by ducks. Generally
speaking, larger eggs were laid ny
hess than by pullets of the same
breed. The eggs laid by Pekin
ducks, old and young, averaged
800 ounces per dozen, and were
heavier than those laid by any
breed of hens. OF the different
breeds of hens tested the largest
eggs weighed % ounces per dozen,
and were laid by Light Brahmas-
The Black Langshan and Barred
Plymouth Rock hens eggs weighed
little over 70 ounces per dozen,
while those laid by Single Comb
Brown Legborns, late Matched
Plymouth Rock. White WyandOtte
and Buff Cochin hens ranged from
21.7 to 23.7 ounces per dozen.
OF the pullets, the heaviest eggs
(weighing % ounces per dozen)
were laid by the Black Minorcas,
the lightest by the Single Comb
Brown Leghorns and Silver Laced
Wyandottes. These weighed IT'S
and 22.1 ounces per dozen, res
pectively. G The Barred Plymouth
Rock, White Plymouth Rock.
White Wyandotte, Black Langshan
and Buff Cochin pullets eggs all
weighed not far from "a ounces per
dozen. AS will be seen, the varia-
ton in the weight of the eggs was
considerable. In tests carried on
at the Maine Experiment Station il
was noticed that eggs from hens
that laid the greatest number were
on an average smaller in size than
those from hens producing fewer
eggs. The percentage of fertility
was also less in the former than in
the latter.
In the North Carolina test all of
the eggs, regardless of size, had a
local market value of 13H cents
per dozen at the time of the inves-
tigation. If dozen Single Comb
Brown Leghorn pullets' eggs
weighing ~ ounces were worth
1917 cents per dozen, or y cents
per pound, the eggs of the other
breeds would be actually worth
from 1913 cents for the Single Comb
Brown Leghorn hens to 2l6 cents
per dozen for the Light Brahma
hens, or from 20 . to 90 per cent in
excess Of their market value. The
eggs of the Pekin ducks would be
worth 26.7 cents, or 978 per cent
above their market value On the
basis Of the results obtained, the
station advocates selling eggs by
the pound instead of by the dozen.
1t is said that the egg packers and
dealers maintain that this method
would increase the cost of the eggs,
owing to the extra handling neces-
sary and the consequent breakage.
An apparent objection to selling
eggs by weight is that they are not
generally used in the household in
this way. Most recipes call for
eggs by number and not by weight
There is no question that weighing
the eggs would be more accurate,
and recipes are occasionally met
with in which this method is follow

noon sun And she told him about her
scnooi, and tried to find out what he
had been doing with his opportunities.
And so, for the first time since the
property came to him, he too began
to wonder what he had done.
And he wasn't pleased with what he
found, There was a little hole In the
fortune; but it wasn't enough to war
rant any man in breaking his nerves
down trying to burn money.
They were good deal together on
the extraordinarily. He had been over
the road -four times, but he didn't know
anything about it, or the country, and
she told him some things.
At Cheyenne he wanted to hold her
hand AT Rawlins he proposed to her.
At Ogden he wanted TO quit the train.
and drown himself at the Great Salt
lake. At San Francisco he remembered
that he had been entirely sober for
three days.
Maybe that was the reason he didn't
get out of the way of the Clay street
cable car. Anyway. they brought him
to the hotel considerably battered,
and the doctors said he better not go
down to the Yosemite with the rest Of
the excursion. So he had them tele-
graph to Kenwood stating that he
would be at home when he got better.
Next day he noticed bunch of pam
sizes by his pillow.
'Who sent them?" he asked.
"The young lady," said the nurse.
'She didn't go on to the Yosemite with
the rest of the party
"Tell her to come in, and read to
me"
She came, but he did not hear any
thing she read. He lay there, look
ing at her, and getting hungrier and
hungrier for the love Of woman Of
that sort.
He broke into the middle Of "Loclts-
ley Hall" with:
'Why won't you marry me?"
Because you are worth a million"
I'LL give it away"
"Then viii you work-and do some
thing?"
.'By George, I will"
"Then l will marry you"
She stopped above his bed, smoothed
back his hair, and kissed him very ten
derby. Then she told the nurse it was
time for the medicine.
He sent her out of the room while
the lawyer was making the deed of
gift. Next morning the rest of
the party was back from the Yosem-
lite, and there was a pretty little we'd
ding in the parlor of the hotel.
"Here is the deed of every dollar"
he said. 81 want you to have the pleas
ure of turning over the property to the
new owners. Don't look at it till we
get home"
His man met them at the station, and
took them home in the same automo-
bile. When they got to the best part
of Kenwood he pointed out a fine
house, and told her the people to whom
his fortune had been given lived there.
"They don't seem to need it as much
as some others I could have shown
YOU" said his wife.
"But I think more Of them than 7
do Of anyone else in the world"
The auto was stopping She opened
her satchel, and took out the deed. She
read the words: "To my beloved wife, -

. FIRE CLAIMS.

The more the fire. claims, SO called,
are gone into, the more do they develop
actual fraud, and the more do they cast
doubts upon claims which upon the face
of them seem just The lawyers en-
gagged in the cases, or rather some of
them, have evidently put fictitious
values upon Goods alleged to have been
destroyed. This has come out in evil
dence, where a witness or claimant has
been charged with valuing his wearing
apparel too highly, and he has there
upon stated that that was not the valu-
alton which he gave in, but that his
lawyer had put up the valuation. AS
many of these so-called lawyers are
p working upon q. percentage, of the
amounts obtained, 1t is very evident
why they are anxious to swell the value
OF the claims.
According to the statements now Civ
en- in there are something like six mil
lions of dollars claimed for the portable
and other property, trees, and such like
small deer for the, twenty acres
of burned ChinatoMn.' Thisrwould give
over 100000 per acre Apart from the
value of the land, which is more valu-
able now than it was. before the China
town fire, one fails to see how that
poverty stricken district could have got
together $4,000 worth of personal and
other property per acre. Pearls and
diamonds, and gold, and silver, and
rich Spices and the cOstliest fabrics of
the Eastern looms must have been en-
closed within those rotting walls and
been found up those foetid alley ways.
new light was thrown upon the
matter yesterday. According to one
claimant under examination be buried
his goods and then dug them up again.
He was perfectly honest in his state
ment. He had not put into his schedule
the goods which he had buried, though
they had been damaged, But in course
of cross examination it developed that
he was by no means the only one that
had done the burial act but that
great many others had done so. The
trail once opened up, the commissioners
followed it for some distance with the
result of discovering that goods and
valuables buried and recovered had
figured in the so-called "claims" a.
number of times. With all that the
commissioners now know, there will be
probably a considerable reduction in
amounts, many claims will be thrown
out altogether and there ought to be
some prosecution of both lawyers and
-
for perjury. The commission has GER
tainly developed some curious instances
of the perversity of human nature.

TEACHING OF ENGLISH.

An article which has appeared in the
Japan Times. relative to the teaching
of English in schools, is well worth
consideration. Hawaii is one of the
few spots upon the face of the earth
where English, which is a foreign Ian
guage, has Teen deliberately made the
medium of instruction. OF course the
success of the experiment in Hawaii
cannot be fully judged of, since the
policy can hardly be considered as hav-
ing been in existence more than a de-
cade. But during that time, those who
can follow tendencies can judge, and to
such success seems to be assured.
OF course when speaking of English
teaching and teaching of English one
deals with totally different subjects.
Tie teaching of ENGLISH has existed on
there Islands for many decades, the
true teaching IN English for barely
one. And this is what the Japan Times
tumbles up against It does not I'M
derstand why teaching in English and
teaching English should be different.
OF course they are essentially different
as any one, who gives a thought to the
matter, can readily see, and once seen
must be ready to appreciate.
There is a point, however, in which
the Japanese paper makes a hit 1t
says that if English is to be taught
well to the Japanese, they must have
for instructors Americans or British to
carry on the instruction. Here we have
been so successful in our instruction
that we have a large number of Hawai-
ians and -Hawaiians who are thor
oughly capable of giving excellent in
struction in English, though it's scope
may be limited. This is because Eng
lish is not here taught as al exotic, but
is taught as a living language in which
teacher and child, and children and
children communicte colloquially
The Japanese paper is only finding
the same fault with lack of success in
teaching English in Japan, as is found
with school German, school French or
school Italian il. the United States and
in England. These languages are
taught dramatically may be pro-
nounced correctly, and may be read,
but as spoken languages they are a
failure. They never will be a success
unless they are made colloquial. and
even when that effort is made as it has
been here, it takes some time, some
years to reach even moderate success.

Rain in Hamakua, if it has fallen in
any quantity ought to put an end to
the forest fires. A terrible amount of
damage, which the district may feel for
years, has been done. If, however,
cattle are kept out of the forests, such
is the eXuberance of our soil that a
tangled underground will soon spring
up and protect the soil from being
washed away. The larger trees will
come up as saplings and the burned
forest be restored. If, on the other
hand cattle are allowed to kill down
the early underground, the forests of
Hamakua will go in the same direc-
ton as the forests of Waimea, Hawaii
The latter have disappeared.

The 'pacified" Filipinos do not seem
so very pacific after all. A conspiracy
has apparently been unearthed which
was to have given Cavite as the scene
of another Sicilian Vespers. The plot
was upon a given signal to massacre
all Americans in Cavite and the neigh
boring villages. 1t is said six thousand
people were mixed up in this. OF course
the affair will be hushed up, but there
is no reason to think that there is no
ground for the statement. One has
only to consider that these people are
orientals, and that what civilization
they have has come from the worst of
the Latin stock to easily imagine that
the scenes of the medieval Sicilian YES
pers could be repeated in Luzon.

upon par with the idea that a mans
body should have an autopsy. When a
man was dead, he was dead, and that
was the end of it. What was the good
of cutting him up, bury him and be
done with it.
The wise men who sat upon the coun-
ellis of the Territory could not get it
into their heads that it was possible for
Mr.. Shorey to detect the presence of
water in milk. The milk looked the
! perfectly harmless fluid. In minds such
as these science is an ingenious system
of guessing, and the whole system of
analysis a mere binding of people in
order to get the analyst salary. The
impenetrability of ignorance is magni-
ficent its self esteem and self suffi-
cheney is colossal. However, in spite of
all we managed to keep our public Food
Inspector, and we ought to be thank
full for that.
Mr.. Shorey, in his official capacity,
has kept up a good fight for pure food.
His task is by no means a pleasant
one, as it brings him into constant con-
! fiict with the retail dealers. His fight
for pure milk if by no means won, but
has done a great deal towards giving
the city better milk, and it is a salts
faction to see that Judge Gear sup
ports the campaign, and that milk
adulterators need not look for leniency
when they appeal from the District
Court to the Circuit Court. On the
milk question there is yet much to be
done and there are owners who ought
to be got at. The owner who allows or
winks at adulteration is far more to
blame than the employee.
In the matter of investigating timed
goods, and preserved provisions, Mr..
Shorey has also done good work. He
has shown that certain brands Of pre-
served milk are injurious, and has done
what he could to show people that they
should not use them. The power of
destruction of adulterated goods should
be vested in the Food Inspector, by and
with the consent of the Board of
Health, but it is not. There is no
powerful deterrent this this method.
In New York, and in many of the
cities on the mainland, this power has
| been used with excellent effect. Milk
below the proper standard has simply
been turned into the road. A lesson or
two in this direction is very soon appre-
ciated. 1t is one thing to get fined, but
it is quite another thing to be unable
to serve your customers. The latter
means the loss of trade, and it's going
off into other channels.
/ The case of the sausape which came
up in the court yesterday, is another
instance of Mr.. Shorey's vigilance.
| Some large firm, probably, has been
unloading spoiled sausage on the Chi
nese market. The retailers dealing in
the sausage have been fined, and this
VIII make them more careful about
buying job lots of rotten stuff in flu
ture, but the whole lot of stuff ought
to be condemned and destroyed and
the cost thrown upon the original seller
The retailer will find out his rights in
this regard. Pure food is what we
need, and pure food is what should be
supplied to the poorer classes. We can
not have it unless our Food Inspector
is Vigilant, and when he is vigilant, he
needs the fullest support that the law
can give him.
