THE HEN AS A TRUST BUSTER.

The egg trust has at present in cold
storage about sixty million eggs which
it cannot dispose of at any price.
The trust paid IS - cents per dozen
for these eggs, which now represent a
loss of millions of dollars.
Consequently the egg trust finds itself
irreparab.y busted.
BY whom?
BY the Hen, gentle reader-the tickle,
pusillanimous, insignificant Hen.
The Hen has wrought the doom of
the trust with her little fresh egg.
The collective Hen of the country
who during the long winter months has
been on strike, has now fguratively
signed the scale and gone back to work,
She has started to lay as one Hen.
Fresh eggs are pouring into the mar
kets in thousands of dozens, right hot
from the nest.
They are retailing at and 10 cents
per dozen in many cities.
Who would pay IS - cents for cold
storage eggs when fresh, unchilled hen
fruit may be bought in the open mar
ket for 10 cents per dozen? We answer,
Nobody except collector of an
tiques."
All praise to the American Hen! She
is patriot. She does not believe in
taxation without representation. With
her little fresh egg she has hit the egg
trust a solar plexus punch and knocked
it out
These sixty millions of cold storage
eggs which the trust now has on its
hands are monument to the Hen in
dustry.
The present low price of eggs places
them within reach of the masses. Less
than month ago only the idle rich man
could afford to wear an omelette bou
tonniere on the lapel of his coat. Now
the humble workingman can wear one

LETTER FROM FLORIDA.
Correspondence of The Journal. |

PALM BEACH, Fla, Mar. %, 1906. In
writing for northern readers it may be

verdure and tropical growths and will
devote paragraph or two to the
wealth of forest resources with which

is so richly endowed and which Offers
much to the lumberman. The chief

try in the east, extend into the State
and, with some changes in the com.
position of the forest there, offer abund
ant supplies of well-tried timbers.
Cuban pine, which has scattered
growth along the coast plain of tie
South in general, is abundant along its
western coast in pure stands or in
mixtures with long leaf pine and
cypress.
At the southern end of the State
cypress swamps abound. On the coast
islands along the southern shores, ma
hogany in good quantity awaits the AK.
and the naval stores industry which
draws principally upon the long leaf
and short leaf pines, finds i'll Florida
plentiful source of supplies.
Cuban pine seems destined for more
important commercial use than it has
hitherto enjoyed. Its wood is scarcr.y
or not at all inferior to that of long
leaf pine, with which, in some lOr4
tiles, it is cut unfortunately. For
preservatiye treatment its relatiyr
greater porosity may make it ey-.
more valuable for specific purpu~
than long leaf.

breeze. We could not tell whether the
face was white or black. All we knew
was this: it was the form and the
dress of a woman. Whether it was a
lady or negro wench we had no means
of ascertaining, but it created quite
little excitement for the time. The
captain and the officer of the deck each
had tield-glasses. The officer OF the
deck has glass slung to him by strap
over his shoulder and speaking trum-
pet in his hand at all times while on
duty. These are the working tools OF
his profession. AS it happened 1t was
my watch or deck that morning, so that
had glass to myself, and l kept it.
The captain kept his. The quarter
master had large spyglass, the best in
the ship, and he kept that, for it was
his duty to sweep the horizon at all
times and to report what he saw.
This left but one spyglass for the four
officers who were not on duty, and
there we're some pretty lively squabbles
in relation to it. The doctor would say
to the paymaster: "Let me have that
glass! Oh it, do you want to look
all dayv' And with such EXPLANATIONS
as 'Give me that glass" Don't be

etc., the captain and myself gazed
calmly and the others squabbled for
the use of the glass until we passed out

wind at Arkansas Pass.

CIVIL SERVICE REPORT.
work OF the Federal Commission During
the Last Year.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The annual report
of the Civil Service Commission calls atten-
ton TO the discontinuance of the practice
of levying political assessments on Gov
eminent employees. but says that there Is
still too great a disposition on the part Of
persons in the classified service TO partici-
pate actively in politics. in spite of the
executive orders, to the detriment OF the
service.
The commission held during the year
$50 different kinds of examinations, OF which
24s were educational tests for variou
clerical, professional, technical and soien-
tiac positions, and al we're UNCONVENTIONAL
tests for mechanical trades and other posi-
tons.
In the educational examinations 81 81
persons competed and 59,1l5 passed, while
81. 843 persons took the non-educational
examinations and So 800 passed. This
makes a total Of 1872 ,034 persona examined
during the year, OF whom Us ,OS5 passed
and ii ST. were appointed. As compared
with the previous year there was a decrease
In the number examined Of 20, 500, and an
increase Of / 1874 in the number appointed.
The commission attributes the falling
of in the number OF competitors TO the
favorable industrial conditions throughout
the country. Its records show that from
90 TO 90 per cent. of the highest eligibles
on the clerk, stenography and typewriting
and certain other registers decline appoint
ment for various reasons, principally on
account Of the low salaries offered.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Although the
nominations OF Cabinet officers TO carry

Official family made necessary by the forth
coming retirements OF Secretary Shaw,
Attorney-General Moody and Secretary
Hitchcock were sent to the Senate on
Monday they have not been taken up with
a single exception by the committee to
which they were referred. The exception
is that OF Victor l.. Metcalf, now Secretary
of Commerce and Labor, who was nomi-
mated to succeed Charles J. Bonaparte as
Secretary of the Navy. His nomination
was reported favorably to-day from the
Committee on Naval Affairs.
The Judiciary Committee held a meeting
this morning but took no action upon the
nominations of William H. Moody to be a
Justice OF the Supreme Court or Mr.. Bona
parte to succeed Mr.. Moody az Attorney
General. II was explained afterward that
the committees failure to take action was
not due to any opposition to Mr.. Moody or
Mr.. Bonaparte but to the fact that several
members of the committee were also mem
bers OF the Committee on Foreign Relations,
which was holding an important meeting
at the same time, and in the absence Of these
members action was deferred.

OIL FUEL on WARSHIPS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. SIT is recommended
in the annual report of Rear Admiral Cowies,
chief OF the Bureau of Equipment Of the
Navy Department, that in future all battle
ships to be constructed have double bottoms
with a view to carrying oil in them, and
that all necessary pumps, pipes and APP
pliances for burning oil be placed on board
Attention is given the question Of oil as
fuel for warships by Admiral Cowles.
The Navy Department, according TO the
report, has directed that the monitor Wyo-
ming be prepared for using fuel oil, and
plans for placing oil tanks in the bunker
spaces have been made Experiments will
be made with the Wyoming TO determine
the practicability of constructing a vessel
along ines which will provide for the sole
use OF oil al fuel. The report, however,
says tina IA fuel oil can be obtained in a
very limited number of places as compared
with coal, and as the general use Of oil
would soon reduce the supply to such an
extent as to make the price prohibitive.
the bureau believes that the designs for
new vessels should be in accordance with
the present practice with regard to the
allotment Of space for the storage OF coal

who sacrificed themselves to science, but is
also to contain a tablet with the names Of

Corps who voluntarily submitted to inoc-
culation, and some OF them died.
