BEST POULTRY AND EGGS.
The Consumer is Coming to Realize
That They Are the Cheapest.

Consumers of dressed poultry are
gradually realizing that the best table
poultry and eggs are the cheapest for
them to buy; that the edible portion
of nicely fattened, well feshed fowl
is nearly twice that of a thin one of
the same size-sufficient to more than
Offset the difference in price. The
quality and flavor of the meat of the
well tieshed and fattened bird is also
superior to that of the poorer fowl
though it necessitated but little diff
ference in the labor required to mar
ket the two kinds
1t happens, too, that the old claim
that IAN egg is an egg" has silently
crept out of existence. Whatever may
be said regarding the color of the she'll
as an indication of its contents. it is
certain that dozen eggs of good size
and of uniform shape-and color also
lis better purchase than a dozen of
assorted shapes and sizes at the same
price. And it is the nice, clean, fresh
looking eggs heaped up in a basket
that always attracts the purchasers
eye and leads him back again to the
same place when more of this staple
is wanted.
AS the people become better ac-
quainted with this matter, says North
western Agriculturist, they will insist
upon having the best quality, and the
dealers will be able to pay the poultry
men better prices and buy more stock.
AS there is more profit in this better
quality, the breeder is certain to re.
ceive his full share of the benefit.

She promptly deposited it in the

Grumblers.

Grumblers who have fallen into the
habit of complaining about their real
or imaginary troubles are nuisances
to those who associate with them. The
business man who is ever grumbling
and growing about things makes a
blue atmosphere about him. There is
no good in grumbling. Grumbling is
an evidence that you are looking at
the world through blue glasses; that
you haven't the proper estimate OF

usement to the world that you are

Performing a Useful Mission.

The Society for Psychical Research
has lately exposed certain pseudo.
spiritualistic manifestations at Wind
sor, Nova Scotia. The whole town had
been stirred by the singular behavior
Of material things. Boxes and barrels
were moved, chairs were rocked, and
smaller objects flew through the air
with extraordinary force. Upon hear.
Ing of this, Prof. Hyslop dispatched
his assistant, Mr.. Darlington, to the
scene, to investigate the report. The
latter, who is something of wizard
himself, proved, as Prof. Hyslop says,
THAT all the alleged phenomena at
Windsor which excited public notice
were frauds pure and simple" Great
pains had been taken by those who
tperpctrated the tricks to escape detec-
stion. A mysterious hogshead, which
was said to roll about the streets on
Its own motion and give forth oracu-
lar utterances, was found to have been
propelled by two young Nova SEQ
tians, while the voice was that of O
boy who was concealed within
Strings had been attached to chairs
and secret openings made in walls and
doors. A grocer was found to have
been a ringleader in producing the
phenomena, having thrown apples
broken eggs and moved packing
cases. 1t is a good thing to have de-
ceptions of this kind discovered, de-
other things, 1t helps to give Prof
Hyslops society standing in the
community and another reason for ex
lstence.

There seems to be no end to the
misfortunes attending the French
navy, particularly as regards the
Toulon station. The latest mishap was
fire on the battleship Hoche, which
proved SO serious, threatening to
reach the magazine and destroy the
vessel, that she was sunk to extin-
guish the flames. From the beginning
of the year to the present time there
have been 20 more or less notable oc-
currences in the French navy. The
worst was the explosion on the bat
tleship lena while lying at her dock
at Toulon, when over hundred lives
were lost. Other casualties include
the total wreck of the cruisers Jean
