Use for Rotten Eggs.

We were interested the other day in
a check shown us by A. W. Grow, the
produce man, which he had just re-
ceived for shipment of rotten eggs.
1t is generally supposed that a bad
egg, both hen fruit and human, are
about as near useless as anything can
be, but Mr.. Grow says that he has a
ready market for all he has and ships
several cases day. for which he re-
ceives in the neighborhood of six
cents per dozen. The eggs are used
in certain processes of tanning
leather Now if some one couid find
a use for the human bad egg another
difficult problem would be solved.

Forty years ago the negro had not a
foot of land nor a roof over his head.
Now there are 13O, 900 farms owned by
negroes valued at $3.50, 900. 900; $50, ,0OC
homes outside the farm ownership
valued at 1866, 900. 900 and personal
property valued at sl65, 900, 900. So,
starting from nothing, here is an
accumulation of nearly $500, 900, 600.
When the work began, not per cent
of the negro adults of the south could
read or write. Today 40 per cent can
do so. There are 800 colored physi-
claus in practice, 300 lawyers and
80, 900 school teachers. They own and
publish 450 newspapers and mag
azines. This is marvellous record.

The time is not far distant when
business buildings, factory buildings,
and machine shops will be built of fire
proof material. The introduction of
artificial stone for floors with iron
rails to take the place of wooden
joists is the solution of the whole
question. A cement floor properly
finished is preferable to board floor,
and for country store it would be
very suitable and easily kept clean.
The mop boards may be made of
patent iron or cement, the walls of
brick and the roof may be made of
iron, gravel, and other fire proof ma
terials The door and window frames
and castings may be made of wood if
necessary without much danger of de-
struction by fire if all other parts of
the building are built of fire proof
materials. What is the need of the
owner of a building paying Tor insur-
ance to protect him against loss by fire
when for several hundred dollars extra
expense he could have his building
made fire proof?
