The hen egg is popular and a nutri-
tious food Of high value, and, according
to the National Provisioner, the Ameri-
can hen is very busy now. She has on
hand what is called the egg season. -
That is the period of the hens highest
activity and productiveness. This sea
son runs from April l to July. Then
the farmers barn is noisy locality.
During that period the fresh-meat man
is heard to constantly complain that
e'the meat business is rotten" The
eggs ale, however, fresh and the most
numerous. The dizziness in the fresh
meat line is the result of the egg and
meat competition for the table. The
poultry product wins and gives sympa-
thetic tone to the ham and bacon mark
ct. as ham or bacon and eggs travel
together or in omelette form as a
breakfast food. The extent of the
spring competition of eggs with fresh
meats may be gagged by the fact that
from about the middle of March until
June Is there are about 75O,0oO,0Oo eggs
handled daily by the jobbers of the
United States. For the season of nine
ty days named that would amount to
1900 100000 eggs. The egg season
furnishes an overproduction for con-
sumption. The price is then low. The
surplus find their way into cold storage
for fall and winter use. The Lenten
season gives fresh meat its hardest
forty day pull. Meats could forgive
pisces a lot of Fridays for the slightness
of their blow as compared with the egg
competition Of Lent. Cold storage has
been responsible for the al[the-year
com petition which meats feel from eggs.
The incuhators also help poultry by
relic wing the setting hen.

For our protection, and in order to
prevent delays in port, we must take
steps at an early day to secure the re-
peal of the law requiring the employ
ment of licensed mates on sail vessels
over 700 tons. There are so few men to
be had that the delay in getting them
has often compelled owners to lay their
vessels up or subjected them to annoy
ing delays, in not few cases the YES
sells being compelled to proceed upon
their voyage without a license, but still
with fully qualified mate, thus pro-
tecting the owners property, but
technically violating the laws of the
United States.
OF recent years bills have been
pressed upon Congress for the pay
ment of subsidies to American vessels
engaging in the foreign trade. In the
preparation of these bills sail vessels
interests have taken no part. When
the bill came up for passage in the
Senate last year, the steam vessel
interest that had been represented at
congressional committee hearings was
protected while the other interest SO
largely identified through membership
in the Atlantic Carriers Association
was sacrificed, the bill as it passed the
Senate excluding vessels under 100 tons
from any participation in it's benefits.
The interests we represent made itself
heard and felt before the House mer-
chant marine and fisheries committee,
and had the bill been favorably report
ed by the committee, as it was not, we
were assured that the injustice inflict-
ed upon us in the amendment to the
Senate bill would have been corrected,
and our interests fairly considered and
protected. If subsidy bill is passed,
the classes and types Of vessels repre-
scented in the Atlantic Carriers Associa-
ton must not be Disseminated against
or overlooked

Not on Time.

There is good looking boy in this
city who was recently an employe OF a
railroad-road company-the future
before him was brighton would have
been under right circumstances. He
might have advanced himself and la
ter on worked into a more desirable
appointment. But he was not careful
of his time when off duty-kept late
hours. On one occasion he was late
having over slept. But that was
the crucial epoch. The railroad COM
pany, differed as it is by the sharpest
and shrewdest men in life, says that
this young man could not be trusted
with a message to Garcia, and dis
charged him at once. That FIVE min
utes lost was simple thing, but shor-
ter intervals than that lost have led
to the loss Of precious human lives, the
wasting of thousands of dollars OF
property-risks too great to be as
sumed by company known and re-
spected for its business sagacity. Ap-
ply the moral, oh. ye young-be on
time-improve the passing hour, and
surely there comety a timh when the
order will be, $50 up higher"

chiIdren's Bodily Defects.

DIR. Andrew Wilson says that one
of the most important facts which the
study of children's defects by physi-
clans has elected is that such defects
are mostly curable-that is, if they are
taken in time. The use Inappropriate
spectacles, for example, will correct eye
defeete, save the child from headache
and eye strain, and give it a fair
chance to see properly, and thus to
gain its education as do children with
natural eyes. Allow the defects to
remain unattended to and things grow
worse, so that later on the case may
be altogether beyond aid at all.
With the ears the case is even
stronger, for their cure is possible only
when in the early days Of an ailment
advice is sought. Every case of ear
discharge, common after measles and
scarlet fever, should be invariably
seen to by surgeon. If euch cases
are allowed to proceed untreated, not
only ia the drum Of the ear likely to
be destroyed and hearing lost, but a
cold or chill affecting such an ear may
produce Inflammation of the brain and
death. If it is only for the sake of
the children's happiness and freedom
from pain, apart from all educational
considerations, we shoul see that these
ailments of the eyes and ears are cor
rected

The Kruger Diamond.


Here are some facts about the large
diamond which Mr.. Kruger took with
him when be left South Africa, and
which has very curious history. The
diamond originally belonged to Mesh
hesh, Basuto chief, from whom it
was extorted by T'Chaka, the Zulu
King. T'Cbaka's brother killed him
and stole the stone. The brother came
to grief, and the gem passed into the
possession of Zulu chief, who soon
afterward was assassinated. The ma
tives say that no less than sixteen of
the successive possessors OF the dia-
mond either were killed or driven out
Of the country for the sake Of the gem.
The diamond then was seen by white
men who set out to possess 1t. A
party of whites attacked the natives
who had the stone in their possession
and fierce fight ensued in which 300
lives were lost, mostly natives.
Memtll, a native chief, took the
gem and concealed it in a wound
which he had received in the battle.
Afterward Memela was caught by the
Beers and set to work as a slave.
Kruger, hearing his story, released
him, and in gratitude Memela gave
the stone to his hberator. Some years
passed and then Kruger shared the
fate that had overtaken all the former
possessors Of the diamond who had
not been killed-he was driven from
power and compelled to leave his ma
tive country. Where'-the fatal dia-
mond is now is not certain, the ex-
President of the Transvaal may have
parted with it. Some say that it is
in the Golfers of the Vatican, and some
that it was sold to the Emperor Of
Austria, and is now among the crown
jewels oil Vienna.
The stone is said to weigh 200
carats, but is not perfect. It's history
is one which would not re commend it
as talisman to anyone of a superstl-
tious turn of mind, no matter if it was
the largest and finest diamond in the
world. 1t is almost as gruesome a
possession as that hideous little In
dian idol which Nine. Carnot directed
in her will to be destroyed. This idol
was given to President Carnot by a
friend, who laughingly told him that
legend attached to it which was to
the effect that Its possessor would at
tain supreme power and then die by
the knife. The idol had belonged to
the Rsjahs of Khadjurao, of whom five
neutrality-suspicious. more-died by the
knife of an assassin. Carnot laughed
when his friend told him of the legend
attached to the idol, but after it came
into bis possession Carnot became
President of France, and died by an
assaesin's dagger. No wonder Nine.
Carnot ordered that the terrible thing
should be destroyed.
