AS to the exact process Of making these
synthetic eggs little is known. but 1t is
understood that the raw material is
mixed in large revolving drums. and
when of ;he proper consistency is run OUT
into square moulds, II having been found
that eggs OF this shape are more econom-
ically packed and shipped than the ordi-
nary shape. And we may mention in
passing that the eggs are made in die
ferent colors, viz. white for the New
York market and brown for Boston, and
can also be made red and blue for Easter.

An Antidote to Mercury.

The country should pray that the operation per-
formed on Mrs Jacob Jann to prevent her death
from mercury poisoning may prove success
The taking of mercury, accidental or deliberate
since the death last spring of B. Sanders Walker
the Macon banker has become scandaous habit
1t is high time that this modern avenue to the
grave was blocked, preferably by an effectual re-
strction of the sale of the poison but failing this
ounce Of prevention by the drastic cure now at
tempted.
If the removal and cleansing Of the kidneys will
actually prevent the death Of is latest victim, it
promises not only to save great many other lives
but to deter large number Of persons from choos-
ing this means Of suicide. The wide publicity given
to the alleged testimony of various mercury vic
tins has led to the general belief that mercury
posoning means a painless death. If, however, 1t
means instead major operation, with the proba-
biity that death will be cheated then it retain
little to recommend it to the despondent
In other words the operation, If successful, should
prevent almost many cases a5 1t cures.

THE BALLOT FOR WOMEN
Either That, Says Reader, or Re-
lieve Them of Taxation.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your correspondent, Caroline Clifton
Knapp. in your issue of to-day. has dis
cussed the question Of feminine suffrage
with admirable ability one aspect OF
the subject, however, has not been pre-
sented and this appears to be an oppor-
tune moment to advance IT.
The principal grievance OF our ancestors
when they were colonists, and the one
that above all others led TO the American
Revolution and our final independence OF
the British crown, was taxation with
out representation The injustice or
such "A rule was as clearly and conclu-
slvely explained and maintained in the
halls OF Parliament by the most eminent
British statesmen, of whom Pitt, Fox
and Barre are famous examples. as II
was by Washington, Adams, Jefferson
and others too numerous to mention
among Americans. If that proposition
is sound, the feminine portion OF our
population is clearly and conclusively
entitled TO either the ballot or relief from
taxation.
Feminine suffrage Is now an estab-
Iished right in nine states and there Is a
steadily increasing sentiment In favor OF
II throughout the country. The time Is
apparently not far distant when 1t VIII

Many believe that 1t would be de-
grading TO the fair sex to participate III
the elective franchise; but II Is alto
gether probable that such result would
not be realized, but, on the contrary
that the elective franchise would be puri-
fed, ennobled and made more efficient.
The famous reigns of Elizabeth. In
England; Catharine II, in Russia; Maria
Theresa, In Austria, and Margaret, some
times termed "The Semiramis of the

Harvard's Survival of the Fittest.

Reports concerning entrance enrolment at Har-
ward differ radically from those at most other COM
parable institutions Generally such reports tell
simply of increase from year to year. and universi
ties and colleges congratulate themselves upon that
increase and often resort to measures for prOmot
ing it, Harvard, too, has such an increase; but the
salient feature of her present report is the increase
not in the number Of students received but in the
number rejected.
Upon that the university is to be congratulated
i'm view of the cause of It, which is that the standard
of scholarship required for entrance is being raised
That is sautary The general raising of the stand
ard and also lengthening of the course in profess
sional schools, particularly of law and medicine,
has been calculated to discourage overcrowding OF
those caings and to exclude the least worthy can
didates The elimination of the less fit Will do no
less for liberal education as we'll
The largest number Of rejected candidates Is made
up of those who fail in English because the require
ments in It are more exacting and the Importance
of 1t Is more highly esteemed. Time has been when
candidates would be passed who were incapable OF
writing an English paragraph correctly, while they
would be rejected for only few errors in Latin or
Greek 1t is well to have such folly forsaken and
TO have universities require thorough knowledge
of the vernacuar as the first and most imperative
condition Of entrance.

For an Embossed Assembly.

If the next Legislature doesn't reflect III It's atu-
tude and programme the new spirit which is stirring
in politics it will not be for lack of counsel to cut
away from the old, stagnant order Every element
in the Assembly except the handful of reelected
Murphyites is being urged to make reputation at
Albany by doing things differently from the way
they have been done in the era just ending.
The Republican members of Congress, naturally
interested in making the best showing possible Tor
the party in the next campaign, when all of them
come up for reelection, have arranged for get TO-
gether conference on December 3, at which will be
discussed the opportunity offered the party to
come into line with the popular demand for change
and progress. The New York Young Republican
Club is trying to induce Republican Assembymen
elect of progressive tendencies to act together ana
make their power felt when the Assembly organ
ICES and an even wider conference of proSressives
of all parties has been called to cement Il union
which will make the Assembly sef-governng ana
lift it from the old rut of outside bossism.
All this shaking of dry bones is proof that syS
tens Of party government in this state are beginning
to lie pOpularized and that legislators are
coming to understand what the public now expects
of them. The people weary of seeing puppets at
Albany dance on wires pulled from Delmonicos or
from some other seat of authority. Such wires must
be cut and the party which cuts them first Will have
the first call next year with plurality of the voters

Fighting the High Cost of Living.

Two plans for reducing the high cost of living
have been presented for consideration to the Peo'
pies Institute. One is comprehensive system OF
terminal markets, as advocated by the Market Com
mission appointed by Mayor GaynOr. These placed
at appropriate points would so facilitate the hand
ling of produce shipped to this city and eliminate
cost of transshipment, rehandling and the like that
their advocates maintain they would materially
lower the prices of foodstuffs. The other plan is
the issuance of paper money in denominations lower
than 81 and of coins in denominations Of 212, and
1919 cents
1t is possible the oddsize coins might produce
reduction in the price of many small articles as the
hackers of the scheme fondly think. Those who hope
some time to pay less for the breakfast bacon and
eggs though are more likely to find comfort in the
terminal markets plan, far off as its realization
may be.

Social Work and Babies Lives.

Critics of social welfare work and skeptcs In
general may study with profit the announcement
of the Babies Welfare Association telling of the
efficiency of the milk stations in this city. The
Department of Health conducted an investigation
into the subject to ascertain the bearing Of their
work on infant mortality. 1t found that between
January / and November of this year the death
rate of babies registered at the milk stations was
only in 1000, compared with 70 in 1000 among
all babies under two years Of age in the city.
Naturally, the enrolment lists of the fftyive
milk stations are growing as proud mothers adj
vertise their advantages. 1t was due to the gener-
osty of Mrs. Hartman that forty of these stations
were in existence The object lesson should be
proof conclusive to their worth snd there should
be no question about ECONOMY In the city's equip
ping and maintaining a much larger number next
year.

New Style Football Is Mostly Old Style.

Judging from the more important games of the
football season far, conditions have not been
greatly changed by the modification of the rules
couraging open play. The Princeton-DartmOuth
game and Princeton-Harvard game, played on a
water-soaked field, showed a reversion to the old
style of straight ground gaining and kicking, and
the Princeton-Yale game, played on dry turf, was
marked by just as much conservatism The only
scores made by Princeton, Yale and Harvard in
these contests from drop kicks just as used to
be the case before the excessive premium put de-
fensve play was lessened by the rule makers after
the season Of 1911.
With teams pretty evenly matched, scoring by
touchdowns Is still extremely difficult. The defence
still has the upper hand against straight running
attack and the attack by means Of the forward pass
has not been developed successfully enough to war
rant using 1t except sort of forlOrn hope. The
forward pass did not cut much figure in either the
Princeton Harvard or Princeton-Yale game. 1t
failed for both Harvard and Yale when near the
Princeton goal line. Not a yard was gained on
Saturday by either Yale or Princeton through the
use of the forward pass, although conditions under
foot could not he been better for that style of at

The Big Work at Ashokan.

While the worlds attention is fttingy being
drawn to Panama by the completion Of the canal
we should not ignore the rapid approximation to
completion which is being made upon another en-
pineering work not unworthy to be compared with
that at the isthmus. That Is the new Catskill
waterworks which are to give this city an abun-
dant supply for many years to come. The vast
dam at Ashokan is now nearly completed that
the impounding of water has begun and there Is
already greater depth than ever has been known
before in a New York reservoir. The purpose OF
the present filling is to test the works and to wash
out the reservoir, but 1t is reminder that we are
now within measurable distance of the permanent
filling and putting into use Of the marvellous sys-
fem of aqueducts and mains which is being con-
structed underneath the streets of the city.
1t is agreeable to record, also, that In efficiency
of engineering and general executive operations
this great enterprise has been conducted about as
creditatly as that at Panama. The one discredit-
able fesure of it all has been the injection OF pot
cal favoritlsm and graft into some departments
particularly that of the appraisal and condemna-
tion of property.
The commissioners in charge Of the work strove
TO avert those evils which had reeked to heaven
in the former Croton Aqueduct business, but In
