THE VALUE OF A HENS EGG
Facts and Figures Relative to Poul-
try Product Which Are Not
Without Interest.

Here are some few facts and
figures relative to the hens egg
which may not be without interest
to the student of poultry possi--
bilities. Its average length is
two and twenty-seven hundredths
inches, and it weighs about one.
eighth of pound. The puflets'
eggs are smaller than those of old
hens. The shell constitutes
about II per cent, the yolk 32 per
cent. and the white 81 per cent. of
the total egg, says Franklin
Forbes, in Success Magazine.
Chemically speaking, an egg con-
sists of two nutrients-protein
and fat-tOgether with some wa.
ter and small quantity of miner
al matter. Popular belief to the
contrary, there is no difference in
the nutritive qualities of eggs
with dark shells and those with
light. Their flavor is affected by
the food of the fowl, for good or
for evil. Exhaustive experiments
by wellequipped investigators
prove that the egg deserves it's
reputation as an easily assimilat-
ed and highly nutritious food, if
eaten raw or lightly cooked. Such
experiments also show that eggs
at II cents per dozen are a cheap
source of nutrients; at 16 cents
somewhat expensive, and at 2.5
cents and over highly extraya-
giant. The basis of comparison
was the market price of standard
flesh foods considered in relation
to their nutritive elements. But
there is physiological constitu-
ent of eggs which is of great value,
yet it deties the search of the sci
enlist or the inquisition of the sta
tistician, and that is their palata-
bility. Unless a food, however
rich in proteins, is relished, it loses
much of its value, while, per con-
ira, a less chemically desirable
food that is enjoyed becomes val
liable by reason of that fact.

Placer Sluice Rifles.

' After washing down the gravel and
gold from the auriferous placer banks
the next important problem that the sur
face miner must solve is how to segre-
gate the metal from the debris-how TO
save the values. The natural course CT
placer gold after being released from
it's parent bed in the old channel strata
is not to float, but to find lodgment,
and hence the whole matter reduces it
self to the simple contrivance of a riff
fie. or number Of rifles. Will there
are many kinds and forms iii 5'e in
western placer mines, the methods fol
lowed are but little different from those
in vogue so years ago. All other fea-
lures Of placer mining have enjoyed
gradual advancement, with the intro
duction Of modern methods in hydraulic
mining, but a great majority Of the
surface gold diggers insist in holding
to the old-time methods Of saving the
gold. 1t is because the old-time meth
DDS have not been improved upon
Mines and Minerals.

THE JEWISH MASSAcRES.
Letters From Survivors Tell Tale
of Horrors.

Among the victims of the massacres
of Jews in Russian cities during the
past month are many who have friends
and relatives in Philadelphia. Some
OF these have received letters from
survivors describing the heart-rend-
ing scenes. says the Philadelphia
Press:
Rev. Jacob Chalfin of 537 Lombard
street has letter from his wife in
Kovno, in which she says:
'There are 1000 dead here and 5, 900
injured. The brutality of the Russian
mobs was frightful. Kovno is no
longer city. 1t is mass of ruins,
and we live in dread of another
attack. 1t may come at any minute,
and we are all defenseless.
Herman Sachs of Kiev writes to
Samuel London of 764 South Third
street:
ga Jewess, Sarah Goldman, was
dragged into the streets. and several
spikes, fully seven inches long, were
driven into her brain with heavy steel
sledges. A man named Kaufman was
found in the street near my house
with his whole lower lip cut OFF. be
was suffering torture, and no one
gave him aid. The mans tongue had
been pulled out with pinchers. {"
Aaron Rothstein, another resident
of Kovno, writes to his uncle, Abra-
ham Chabrov, of 342 South street:
81 saw the mob break into the
home of poor woman seventy two
years old. She was asleep in bed.
but the brutal men entered her room
and stoned her to death. There are
5000 persons here absolutely home
less and without kopek to buy food
or clothing. The terrible winter is
already upon us. God knows what
will become of US nnIess aid arrives
soon.''
John Baum, a merchant at 527
South street, recently received a
letter of this sort from his brother
Solomon, who lives in Odessa, and
pleads for money enough to take him
and his family from the country
where they see nothing but doom for
their race.
The letter was written Nov. 5. A
part of it, which has been translated
by Jacob Ginsburg of the Jewish
Evening Post, reads:
'Our people are being unmerclfuIly
slaughtered in the streets without
any interference from the authorities.
"lt is more than two weeks since
we took refuge here in the cellar. We
are under the dreadful terror of be-
ing discovered and killed. We are
practically shut up without any food
or water, and l fear we will starve
unless something is done for US.
"We cannot sleep, for the bowling
and curses of the unruly mobs ring
constantly in our ears. They call
''kill the Jews!'' The streets are
strewn with mutilated bodies. Many
of them are minus heads. limbs and
arms. The cutters of the streets have
been turned into small rivulets of
blood. We fear any minute we will
be exterminated.
| HPlease rescue US. Take us to
America or send us enough money to
get over the frontier. We don't ask
you to help US for livelihood, only
to protect our lives.
s'The Russian newspapers don't
mention one-half that takes place.
We pray, D God o Godi that you
will be able to rescue US so we can
fee from terrible Russia and the
awful death that faces us.
"Wh1Ie / am writing this can hear
the awful curses OF the bowling mob
as it passes along the street killing
Jews. The mob is made up mostly of
soldiers. ~

Singular Instance of Tenaeity.

SA4S
A singular instance of tenacity in the
digestion Of fish is reported from Shef-
field. England. The fish, a ling four
feet long, had what appeared to be an
abnormally hard liver But the cutting.
up process revealed something far
stranger. The supposed hard liver
turned out to be piece Of stout netting
over two yards long and IA inches wide,
which had been pressed into the form
Of q football. How this mass came to be
swallowed is q mystery. 1t was sug-
gested that the ash, caught in the tolls
of q nsherman's net, had tried to escape
by devouring his prison walls.

RESCUE BIZ MILITI4MEN.
Negro Soldiers Saue Negro Police
man in Chicago.

Chicago, July 15.-Members Of the Eighth
Regiment, I. n. Co. rescued a colored police
man from a crowd that was threatening a
lynching last night in 37th-st., near the Rock
Island tracks. The policeman was Fred Locke,
who appointed recently for strike duty. In
trying to escape from a mob he opened fire
with his revolver shooting Julia McHugh,
eighteen years old.
A crowd Of several hundred persons sur
rounded the man, bent on killing him, but the
Eighth Regiment soldiers came to his as
sistance
About twenty negro militiamen were on their
way to the Eighth Regiment Armory. prepar-
atory to starting for their annual encampment
at Springfield. They heard the shots and
rushed in the direction whence the sounds came.
The militiamen were in full uniform and armed
with rifles. Some of the more desperate men
had rushed in on Locke and disarmed him. He
had been knocked down and was being trampled
upon. when the militiamen appeared with their
rifles Locke was taken to the hospital, where
his injuries were dressed. and later he was
locked
The girls injury is not serious The trouble
was due TO attempt by Locke to dispense
a crowd that was jeering non-union teamster.

Brayton Ives. the New-York banker. and Bert
ram Robinson, the son of Frank Robinson, was
the talk OF the village to-day.
The country homes OF Mr.. Ives and Frank
Robinson, who is a son-in-aw OF DR.. BENJAMIN
Brandreth, join each other on the river bank
about two miles north OF ossining Mr.. Ives has
a private pier on his estate. at which he lands
every evening from his yacht on his return
from New-York. Young Robinson. who is an
athletic collegian, about twenty-five years old
II last evening. putting in at the Ives pier on his
return, as there is none on the Robinson prop
erty.
When Mr. Ives arrived his yacht he found
the launch at the pier, Robinson having just
left it It is supposed that Mr Ives either does
not know the young man by sight or failed to
recognize him. for 1t is said that on seeing Rob-
inson he demanded to know what he was doing
there. Hot words passed between the men, and
finally Ives, it is alleged, pushed Robinson into
the water.
Robinson was not slow in getting back and
shot out his right fist, knocking Mr.. Ives down.
The quartermaster of Ives's yacht then took a
hand. and was knocked into the river
While Robinson was attending to the quarter
master Mr.. Ives started up the steps that lead
up the embankment to his home. He was pur-
sued by Robinson, It is said after the latter had
disposed of the quartermaster and was pulled
down the steps. Then the fight was continued
ending only when the young mans mother ap-
peared.

barge, while passing through the narrow chan
mel of Pollock Rip slue early to-day. Her crew

The weather was very thick at the time. and
the Nirnrod was running through the slue be-
fore a fresh southwest breeze when. on the Gas
Buov. a tug with three barges was met The
tug and two OF the barges passed. but the last
barge swerved slightly, and struck the Nimrod
on the port side. cutting her down below the
water line The FIVE men barely had time to
launch the stern boat when the Nimrod filled
and went down a short time afterward.
The tug kept on after the collision and did not
stop to ascertain the damage. although Captain
Hilton hailed the vessel in response to an in
ouirv and stated that the schooner was sinking
He saws the only reply to his cry for help was

within a minute The fve men rowed to the
