To Hold Your Egg Market.

When once a poultryman gets a
reputation for selling eggs that are
guaranteed to be good, there is no
more trouble for him to hold his or
ders. Each year the writer is adding
to his business of supplying families
with table eggs, and the secret OF
that increase in business is due to
the fact that we date each egg as we
take it from the nest, and always
give the customers the freshest eggs
we have on hand. The result is that
we have such demand for eggs that
we seldom have an egg on hand that
is over three days old.-Farm, Gar
den and Poultry.

The Selection of Breeds.

One of the first things a beginner
desires to know is which is the best
breed for him to handle. 1t would
appear to him that this ought to be
an easy question to answer, and yet
it is one that can hardly be answered
by even the veteran breeder. 1t is
no nearer solution now than it was
score of years ago. 1t probably
never will be answered satisfactor-
lily to all breeders. 1t is very read
lily seen that the breed that would
be best for one person or one local
ity would be wholly unsuited for an
other. For this reason, the person,
the environments, the climate and
the market conditions must be fac
tors in determining which is the best
breed.-Commercial Poultry.

Perry and Decatur.

Then passing by the war of 1872 and the deeds of Perry and Decatur we would come down to the war of 1S6l. we would speak in the same breath or the deeds of the northern and southern sail ors We certainly were brothers before the war; we have been brothers since the war: we were brothers during the war, though for that short time we had fam ily difference. Was there ever braver deed recorded than when Commodore Franklin Buchanan steered the Confed- crate Merrimac into Hampton Roads to give battle to the whole Federal heet 1. You must remember that this Kind or vessel had never yet been tested ana her armament had already been condemned hv the naval experts as dangerous and of little use Then, after the Merrimae In ono day had sunk the Cumberland and disabled the Congress and run the Min nesota aground was there ever prayer sight than when the little band-poX Moh- itor seemingly mere toy, went 1orth as a shepherd boy to meet this mighty naval Goliath? Then, after the Merrimac ana Monitor had been supposed to render use less all the wooden ships as men-of-war, was there ever a grander sight than when old Admiral David Farragut, sixty-rve wears of age lashed in the riggings Of the old Hartford. led his wooden shlps past forts supposed to be impossible over waters invested with torpedoes, lnto MO- bile bay, where lay the ironclad Tennes- see, black grimed and merciless, ready to demolish what might escape the deadly fire of the forts? Yes; such deeds have always crowded the pages of our naval history. In no case can it be said that the American navy was ever unwilling to fight It's countrys battles with the mate rial it had on hand.
 Are you and l ready to do the duties that arise before us. day by day, as promptly and unquestioningly as the American navy, as a whole, did its duty Are we read to go forth bravely and Are we ready to go forth bravely and sem to be our mental, physical and spiritual equipment? Do you not know that your very confidence in yourselves and your willingness to go ahead mean already the battle half won? When Lieutenant Dupont was commanded to do a certain thing. at first he failed to carry out his orders. Returning to Admiral Farragut, he began to make many ex- cuses for his failure. But the great ad- miral turned and said: "Ah. Dupont you have not given me the chief excuse for your failure. You did not accomplish what l told you to do chiefly because deep down in your heart. you did not think you could do it." Then, If that be true" said the young sailor, T will go ahead and carry out your orders"

MountInu Laraa Animals.

Crittenden Marriott in June St. Nicholas.
 At one time or another in his life every boy who is a boy has been fired with a desire to stuff an animal of some sort either a favorite dog which has met with an untimely fate or an unfortunate cat, or some wild animal which has fallen into his hands. As rule, however, something has gone wrong with the operation; either the skin has been ruined in removing it. or 1t has been spoiled by insects after it was removed; or, if both of these difficult ties were gotten over successfully, the re suit has looked so awkward and shape less that 1t has soon been thrown away.
 This is not surprising when 1t is un- derstood how much skill Is needed to properly mount an animal, large or small, and how thorough a knowledge of its, an atomy is required to make 1t look life like.
 Nowadays all small animals are mod eled in plaster of paris almost as if they were intended for statuettes, and then have the skin drawn over them carefully while the frames. of large animals are constructed of wood, covered with laths over which quantities of excelsior are fastened, or with wire netting, over which plaster is carefully nodded to fit the ami. mal

darling, and my dear boy, if anything should happen to me. May His blessing rest upon you and your dear mother" Was there ever a sweeter Christian char acter than Commodore Philip. who was once Captain Philip of the Texas? He was brave enough before Santiago when Cervera's fleet was going down to call out to his victorious men: Don't cheer, boys. Those poor fellows over there are dying" And he was brave enough after the battle was ended to call his men to- gether and have the ships chaplain re- turn thanks to that God who had pre- served the American ships in the battle.
 During the weary blockade off Santiago the commander of the American fleet, Admiral William T. Sampson. was seen again and again to kneel by his berth in prayer All through the forecastle, as wei as the officers quarters of the Amer ican navy, there have always been pray ing men. They have realized their need of wisdom, and have gone to the divine source they have known the weakness of their moral nature, and have sought the help of Him who Is able to keep them in temptation. They have learned how liable they are to sudden death in wreck or in battle. and they have committed their souls to Christ. Their needs are ours we, too, in the voyage of life, must have divine succor lest we make snip wreck. The same ear Is open to our sup plication. With them. and for them, let us bow at the throne of grace.
 Thus I have two purposes in preaching this sermon. the one is, to show what our naval heroes have done. While the flowers of this Memorial day are being placed upon the soldiers graves, I would have you remember the heroes whose bodies lie in unknown sepulchers beneath the blue waters of the deep. We can lay no flowers upon their resting place. but In our hearts we can do them honor and by our gratitude keep their memory green My second purpose is to remind you of the duties we owe to God and our country. This land In defense of which the naval heroes laid down their lives, is a sacred heritage. Its honor, It's principles, It's best interests, are In our keeping. Their self sacrifice will go for naught if we allow our country to drift into infidelity and sin. Only by right eousness can we hope for the divine pro tection, Let us every one do our part Tn our several positions to make our be- loved country, which is consecrated py the lives and deaths of these heroes, God fearing, God serving nation.

Herolt peeds of RIueiaekets.

Ought the jack tars of old to be more honored than those of the present time?
 Cannot we afford. on this Memorial Sun
 day, to praise the heroic dedds of Ameri-
 can bluejackets who fought under John
 Paul Jones in the Ranger and the Bon
 homme Richard, under Captain Hull in the Constitution, under James Lawrence in the Chesapeake, under Decatur in the United States, under Farragut in the
 Hartford under Dewey in the Olympia? If the most conspicuous monument in all London was reared in Trafalgar square to the memory of Admiral Nelson, surely we on this last Sabbath preceding our annual Memorial day, should dedicate at least one sermon to the noble tars who,
 in the American wars, won immortal fame upon the high seas. Gallant ships
 is a term we can we'll apply to the great
 number of man-of-war vessels which have composed the American navy from 1776 down to the present time.
 The American navy was always willing
 to fight our wars with the material 1t had on hand. It's officers In the past did
 not estimate the strength of the enemy They gathered together what vessels and men they could and then they went forth to battle no matter how great the odds
 were against them. We are all able to
 recognize this kind of valor when 1t Is
 found beating under the breast of an American. When some years ago tour ist was being shown about the heights Of Quebec a French guide tauntingly said
 And these are the cannon we captured

 wore no uniform and, for the most part, had no military education. We won with

 nam and Nat Greene" But Is the Revo-
 lutionary soldiers bravery to be praised more than that of the Revolutionary sail
 ors? Were the most heroic deeds of Lex
 ington and Princeton and Saratoga and Valley Forge any more brilliant or heroic than that of Captain Paul Jones, who
 with an old tub set sail for England and
 set fire to the British shippnig at White
 Haven on November, TIT? Was George Washington crossing the Delaware a
 more glorious figure than Captain Paul Jones standing upon the deck of the Bon

 away in the captured prize, while his own ship. with swift plunge, went down | to watery grave?

Chicago, May 24.--In view of the ap- preaching celebration of Memorial day and the decoration of soldiers graves pr. Talmage recalled in his sermon this morning the services rendered to the na- ton by American sailors and pleaded that they, too. be remembered in the patriotic tribute. His text was Isaiah xxxiii, 21, "Neither shall gallant ship pass thereby"
 The old Brooklyn navy yard used to have many interesting sights There were it's museum and It's anticipated can- non mounted in the yards and it's piles of empty shells. There were it's famous dry dock and the great sheds under which lay the keels and the skeleton ribs of those massive frames that were laid and knit together toward the close of the civil war but never finished. There were also it's uniformed sailors and marines and it's buildings, filled with food and clothing soon to be sent to the different naval stations of the world. Tnere often lay the training ships and the great men of-war just in from foreign ports. But to me the most interesting place of all In the Brooklyn navy yard, where I used to play as a boy, was Rotten row" Alongside of some of It's wharfs were tied some of the decaying vessels that had helped to make Americas valor respected and admired around the world. These ships were too old to voyage the sea and too weak to defy the enemys shells. They were also too sacred to be split up for kindling. There they lay, with a sentimental but not an intrinsic value. Their decks were deserted, their hulls empty their masts cut down. But there they floated at the docks. magnificent re- minders of a glorious past.
 Isaiah has been walking in imagination along the Rotten row of a millenial dawn. With prophetic vision he has been looking ahead to the time when all the navies of the world shall go out of con- mission; when every quarter deck of every man-of-war shall be a playground for the pattering feet of the little chill dren; when the warship's deck shall no longer be slippery with human blood. Neither shall gallant ship pass thereby translated into the language of ordinary life means Neither shall gallant men of-war ever again sail to destroy life." And yet Isaiah, speaking of this glad some day, cannot refrain from paying a well earned compliment to those patri- otic sailors who have always been will ing to fight, and if necessary, to die for their country's cause. He speaks of the man-of-war in words of martial praise. He calls the naval vessel a gallant ship"
