Eggs and Egg Farming.

Eggs contain four per cent less pro-
TEN. and six per cent less fat than
sirloin steak; half as much protein
and one-third as much fat as cream
cheese; twice as much protein and ten
times as much fat as oysters: fuel
value, about two-thirds that Of beef
and one-third that Of rich cheese
DR.. S. l.. Roberts says it is ener-
getically maintained by many that the
ova Of different breeds Of the domestic
hen vary in nutritive a. well as favor
qualities. Chemists who have male
analysis of eggs do not find this to he
true. They find that the darkshellel
product have practically the same
compositions as have the whiteshellcd
ones.
There is no great difference in the
composition Of the ova from domestic
fowls. Those Of the hen and the tur-
key contain little more water ana
a trine less fat than those Of the duck,
goose and guinea. The product Of the
hen contains IA per cent of water: in
the others named, it is three to five
per cent Of fat; duck, goose and lur-
key, twelve per cent.

catarrhal germs and giving quick re-
lief and cure

Romance of Great Singer.

NJ. Jean Note, the famous barytone
of the Paris opera house, and who has
sung more often on the stage of the
Paris opera than any other living
singer, left Paris the other day to be
present at the fetes which were held
recently, in his native town of Tour
nay, in Belgium, in honor of the great
artists jubilee.
M. Jean Notes career has been a
singularly romantic one. He was born
at Tournay, and began life there as
a weaver in cloth factory. He was
noted for his fine voice among his fell
low workmen. He left the factory to
become railway porter at the Tour
nay station, and soon became a signal
man.
At the age of 81 he became a con-
script in the Belgian army, and it was
while undergoing his military service
that his officers took an interest in
him, and subscribed purse to send
him to the Conservatoire of Music at
Ghent.
Here he worked hard, and succeed.
ed in obtaining the first prize for
singing. He made his debut In "Lucie
de Lammermoor," at the Lille thea.
ter in 1885. He was then engaged for
