The manufacturers of albumen, new
and important industry in this vicinity,
think that the tariff needs revision be-
cause they are at losssto know why the
inside of an egg, from which albumen is
made should pay two different rates of
duty. Thirty-three barrels of yollSs and

Philadelphia last week by the Red Star
line Belgenland from Antwerp. The
shipment is for the manufacture. Of albu-

yolks 70, per cent. Eggs not broken pay
8 cents dozen duty. AS the Belgian eggs
are best adapted for the purpose intended
and the risk of transportation in crates

"Balied" Partridges.
In certain districts where the soil is ex-
actly right (or rather exactly wrong) the
partridges so carefully preserved in Eng
land are likely to be attacked by pc
culiar misfortune known as ''balling."
The word means simply that a partridge
hatched out on clay soil in wet weather
may find mud adhering to its feet as it
struggles along after the mother bird.
This Is a small beginning, but the
chances are that the serth accumulates.
Sometimes. indeed the soil attached 10
the foot of a little partridge will increase
from a mere speck to a weight of several
ounces writer in Badminton says that
the heaviest ball he ever knew weighed
four ounces, and the bird which carried
it was only half a propet size, although
the rest Of the covey were fu1E grown.
The little creature could only move along
in a kind Of flying scramble, dragging
the ball on the ground s.
The clay was baked as hard as a brick.
so that 1t was no easy matter to remove
it. Finally it was soaked off, and then
it became apparent that the bird, without
its accustomed ballast did not know how
to fly With every effort It tumbled head
over heels. and learned the natural mode
only after long trying.
The fate OF a -'balledn partridge which
is not rescued by some kindly hand is a
cruel one. Day by day the burden grows
heavier. and the more the chick scram-
bles after its companions the larger its
burden becomes Finally It is no longer
possible to move at all, and then the lit
tie thing can but give mp and die.
Naturalists say that the balling of birds
IS one of natures provisions for scatter
ing seeds. 1t is easy to demonstrate this,
and the answer comes true" One ex-
perimenter scattered the earth from a
three-ounce bali over the top of a pan
of ordinary dirt, which had been baked
to destroy the seeds in it. Ten plants
sprang up in due time. and developed
into seven varieties. Youths Companion

medical man as a growing form in in

AS its alcoholic strength Is about don
BILE that Of whisky or brandy, the dele
terlous results Of excessive indulgence can
be imagined.
There is one recorded case in which the
daily dose OF victim of "gingerism'' was
increased from ten drops TO a pint in
the course Of three years Though the
habit Is more practiced in. the United
States than In England. there are num-
bers OF chemists In London who admit
that they have regular customers for tho
pungent essence who buy comparatively
large quantities every week.
The cause OF the habit Is nearly al
ways the same. "Gingerfsts" are people
with weary brains and disordered stom-
achs who seek palliation of the results
Of overwork. They know that such drugs
as mOrphia. choral. cocaine, and chloro-
form are accumulative ip their effect up
on the human system; they know also
that ginger was the homely remedy OF
their youth for stomachic troubles
II seems incredible, but II is q fact that
