CHEAP EGGS IN CHINA.

Perhaps there is no country in the
world where there are so many do
mestic fowls as In China, and yet there
are no poultry farms where chickens
are reared In quantities." says United
States Vice Consul General w. R. Dor
sey of Shanghai. almost every fam

as in the country, keeps few hens.
Many of the birds are Of medium size,
laying small eggs, but some breeds,
such as the Huai fowls and the Ian
shans, are large, and their eggs are
almost, If not quite, as large as those
of the Brahmas and Plymouth Rocks.
It is not uncommon to Nnd hens in
the markets Weighing as much as
eight pounds each.
Chickens are Matched In crude incu-
bators. When the chicks are a few
days old they are carried around in
baskets and sold for about twice the
market price Of eggs. When large
enough to forage for themseles they
are allowed to roam over the fields to
pick up what feed they can find. At
night they are fed little paddy or
cooked rice left from the meals

in large quantities at certain seasons.
Many are exported annually to Japan.
They are usually so cheap that few of

Librarians are beginning to discuss
the problem Of dead books" the many
unused and uncalled-for volumes which
rapidly cumber up the shelves and
clog the working collection. There is
only partial solution in the storage
plan and in the arrangement of books
under various systems. Many large IL
braries aim to possess at least one
copy OF almost all new books. but the
rate of production is now SO great
that there is a physical limit to such
system. and a periodic thinning out
OF trash and dead matter seems newt
able before long.

The publication known as the Lon
don Queen asserts that nearly every
gentleman, as well as every cowboy, In
the United States carries a revolver,
and to this fact 1t attributes the nu.
merous murders In this country grow
ing out of the relation Of the sexes
1t is to be doubted II there-are rela-
lively more murders of that kind in
this country than in other civilized
countries; but 1t is undoubtedly true
that the carrying of deadly weapons
does tend to promote killings of every
description. In those countries where
the knife is an almost indispensable
portion Of the dress or equipment,
stabbings are quite as frequent as gun
play is In the widest portions of
America. But the London publication
Is mistaken in supposing that revol-
vers are carried by any large portion
of the men in America who call them
selves gentlemen. In the prevalent
styles Of masculine dress 1t would be
very difficult for man to carry a
concealed revolver without producing
suspicious bulge at some portion of
his anatomy. The Southern fire-eater
Of the old days customarily wore
long-skirted, loose frock coat, and with
a little practice his pistol could be
pretty well concealed under his arm
pit, or in his hip pocket. But with
the close-itting sack coat and trousers
of to-day such concealment is impos-
sible. In overcoat weather the prob
lem Of concealment Is easier; but
when the overcoat is temporarily re-
moved discovery would become immi-
nent. The average man would rather
run the risk Of going weaponless than
to incur the ridicule of a bulging pock.
