NO CHANGE IN GULF STREAM
Government Experts Correct an Im- pression Which Has Become More
 or Less General.

It is hard to be steady, consistent and unswerving in spite of contrary forces. and still to gain the reputation of an cratic wanderer. Yet this is just what has happened to the gulf stream. Indeed, its character was getting 50 maligned that the United States government itself found it nee essary to vindicate this current of tIie ocean. Much has been said of late years in regard to the changing route of the stream. The government experts declare there is no change in the course, nor has there been for many years. No other physical feature of the ocean Is subject to more per sistent misinterpretation than Is the Gulf stream. It is pet theory of many that the temperature of Europe Is greatly affected by 1t, but this effect is not as extensive as is commonly thought. Practically starting at the Florida straits. where its volume is made up by the union of currents, 1t ceases to he a true current by the time not long after it reaches the Grand banks, where 1t becomes sur face drift, governed by the winds Christian Science Monitor.

Ant EamilieR.

One of the most peculiar examples of nature protection found in the world is that afforded by the sugar ant of Australia. The sugar ant Is one of the smaller of the field ants of that country. The meat ant, on the other hand, is a very pugnacious crea- ture. so that there are few enemies of it's size which dare approach it's nest. The sugar ant realizes this, so it seeks protection for its own home by building 1t at the base of the mound of the meat ant Then 1t covers the nest entrance with leaves, so that they are hidden from sight. The meat ant works only during the day; as soon as the sun sets, 1t goes into its nest and is not easily disturbed, while darkness prevails. On the other hand, the sugar ant comes out at night and feeds upon the honey of flowers or the sap of small plants. In this way the two species of ant do not come in contact with each other, and the meat ant pro- vides plenty of protection for the sugar ant, while the latter Is having its day time sleep All of which reminds one of the popular old farce of Box and Cox" Christian Science Monitor.

The People and Government.

I am not one of those who think the people are never in the wrong. They have been so, frequently and out rageously. both in other countries and in this. But I do say, that in all dis putes between them and their rulers, the presumption is at least upon par in favor of the people. Experience may perhaps justify me in going fur ther. When popular discontents have been very prevalent, 1t may we'll be affirmed and supported, that there has been generally something found amiss in the constitution, or in the conduct of government.-"Th of the Cause of the Present Discontents,' Edmund Burke.

Experlenes. the Great Teacher.

Observation more than books, ex- perience rather than persona are the prime educators. Books aid as one has wit to use them to advantage, persons most when seeming not to serve us. Experience converts us to ourselves when books fail us, and this oftenest against our knOweldge and consent. And it remains question able how far our attachments further or hinder natures intentions, the art of education being still so com plicated and incalculable a matter that not a few of the most striking characters have been formed, untram- meIed by cur schools, under the more direct and potent influence of life and things, operating under the pressure of necessity and seeming ac- cident.-A.

EGGS MUST MATCH IN COLOR
Best City Restaurants VIII Pay Good Prices for Those Which Conform
 to Requirements.

Eggs in the winter time are likely to have pale yolks. A popular impress sion prevails that they indicate poor feeding of the hens. This is denied by the government bureau of animal hus- landry. which declares that lack of green feed is the cause.
 Most people think that eggs with pale yoIks have less flavor than eggs with richly colOred yOlks. This is prob ably true; but the housewife's notion that they impart less richness to cakes and custards is cOntradicted by the experts-thOugh, of course, they do contribute less color.
 Egg whites are often slightly yellow ish or greenish. But high-class restau- rants and hotels demand eggs whose albumen shall be when cooked as pure white as possible. Furthermore. 1t is particularly important that two or more eggs served with an order shall match in color. Inasmuch as such eggs command an extra-high price, 1t is good business for the poultry raiser who caters to the fancy market to meet these requirements.
 Boiled eggs should match in color of shell. No first-class restaurant or fashionable club would think of serv' ing a brown egg and a white one to- gether. Even in shade they should match. In New York only pure white eggs fetch the highest price. In Bos ton, on the other hand, brown eggs bring five cents more per dozen than white ones.
 Many people are firmly convinced that brown eggs have a richer flavor than white ones, and nobody can per suade them that they are mistaken but the experts say that the notion has no basis whatever in fact. In Mas sachusetts chickens have been bred t' lay brown eggs-and the darker the! are in color the more acceptable the! ! ara i'm thp market.
