Food of the Chinese.

In the Revue d'Hygiene DR.. Male.
gnon, who lived for many years in
China, gives some curious details of
the food Of the Chinese. This is what
he says of the sons Of heaven and the
way they eat eggs: 1.-THE Chinese are
great eaters Of eggs, which they take
hard boiled. One finds them in all the
roadside places for refreshment. The
Celestials have an expression, Eggs of
a hundred years. The eggs are not
always a century in age, but one is
able to get them Of many years stand.

for the egg Of the duck or goose. They
are placed with aromatic herbs ir
slaked lime for a period, the minimum
time OF treatment being five or six
weeks. Under the influence Of time
the yoke ~liquefies and takes a dark
green color. The white %coagulates and
becomes green. The product Of the
eggs, which has a strong odor, from
which a stranger betakes himself
quickly, the Chinese eat as hors
~d'oeuvres, and it is said to have the
taste Of lobster"

Actors Under kina William III.

How Summarily actors and mana
gers were dealt with in the days Of
King William III. is shown by the pc
tition Of Alexander Davenant and 9TH
ers, dated Dec. 10, 1851, which has
been found among the historical docu-
mentS of the house Of lords. These
"sharers and Adventures in the play
h~ouse"-this seems to have reference
to the Dorset Garden theater in White
friars-set forth that Lord Longueville
having complained Of being assaulted,
together with his servants, by the
guard at this famous playhouse in the
course Of what seems to have been q
rather serious f~racas, the king had
given orders at the desire of the peers
that no soldiers should be on duty
there for the future and that the play
ers should be suspended from acting
till they had begged pardon for the af-
front"
The house had also, 1t appears, vim
dictated it's dignity, thus outraged in
the person Of n of it's members, by
ordering a sergeant and q soldier to
be sent to the gatehouse at Whitehall,
then used as a prison. The petitioners
having humbly solicited the removal
Of the suspension upon them" and
promised to do their best to prevent
the like miscarriage for the FUTURE

sion on the players was removed" and

THE COUNTRY SCHOOLMA'AM

Few rural teachers attain the high
est standard as rural teachers. They
go to the higher salaries and higher
aims Of the city schools. But let us be
careful how we condemn as illiterate
and ignorant those who remain to
the little red school house. Somehow
those ~illiterate teachers manage to
send pupils into the city high schools
who march into line with our city pu-
pills of the same by right of conquest.
They know "readinS' "%ritin,' and
"rithmetic," they have the ground
work of education and have learn
ed much of the art of application. To
be sure the pupil who comes in from
the country Is a selection in a way
but the best Of them are as good as
the best of ours. The country school
ma'am seems to be doing something
in the way Of foundation work.
