A STORT OF THE DAY,
Failure of an -Attempt to Establish
Nightingales
The nightingale arrives in England about
the 15th of April, and for the remainder
of the month its song is heard on every
side. Later it,000apiee itself with neat-
bniloing, rearing its young, and domestic
affairs generally, and its tuneful voice is
hushed. The migration of"ihe nightingale
to and in England seems to be conducted
in a dye north and south /ireotion. It,
never gets farther north than Carlisle,
just south of the Scottish border. Sir
John Sinclair, aoting.on_ ,the -general rule
that migratory song birds almost always
rl�lllrn to their native haunts, endeavored
s establish the nightingale in" Scotland.
e experiment was conducted on a large
scale, and the result was considered as
decisive. Sir John commissioned a Lon
don dealer to buy as many nightingale
eggs as he oonld get at the price of 1 shil.
eig'-ea ifese 'were carefully ' packed
in wool and sent to Scotland by mail. A
number of trustworthy men had pre-
viously been engaged to find and take'
especial care of as • many robin redbreast's
nests se possible, in places where the eggs
could be hatched in perfect safety. As
regularly as the parcels of eggs arrived
from London the robins' eggs .were re-
moved from the nests and replaced 'by
those of the nightingale. In due course of
time they were hatched. The young
aightingalee, when full fledged, flew about,
and were observed for some time after-
ward quite at home near the plebe where
they first saw the light. In September, the
usual period ot. migration, they departed,
butiriey never returned. The experiment
was a failure
The Milk Trade.
In a recent address delivered by Mr. S.
W. North, medical officer of health to the
city of York, to the National Association
o! Sanitary Inspectors, the subject chosen
was the "Milk Trade as/Affecting Public
Health." The various diseases whioh have
been oommunicated to man through the
agenoy of milk were considered ; but special
stress was laid upon the question of the
production hof human tubercle as the result
of the ingestion of the milk of tnberonlons
cows. It was contended that the same
•defective hygienic conditions whioh favor
the development of this disease in man also
favor . its production in animals. Thus,
deficient light and a}}'r, dampness .of sheds,
overorowding, imperfect ventilation, bad
and insufficient food, and filthy surround-
inga were set forth as the conditions ten l-
ing to lower health, to impair nutrition,
and to increase susceptibility to tuberculosis
both in man and in the cow; and all dairy
farmers, as well au those responsible for
the administration of dairies, would do well
to give heed to the warning whioh these.
facts oonvey. Among the remedies which'
Mr. North would suggest are a careful and
systematic inopeotion o ;dairies and cattle
° by competent persons, and the require-
ments that all who sell milk within the
area of a sanitary authority should possess
a apeoiallicense granted by that authority,
and capable of being withdrawn or ens.
pened whenever eumoient reason exists
for oh action. It was further proposed
the • eery producer and vendor of milk
should be bound to `report ,to such sanitary
authority the ocourernoe of any diseaee
amongst the cattle, or the persons of.bis
honeehold, or amongst those epgaged in the
preparation or distribution of the milk.
Saab an address cannot fail to lead to a
more careful and intelligent performance of
some of the more important duties devolv-
ing on sanitary inepeotore Lancet."

In the present' fashions the bodice be

The New York Tribune says : In all gowns

material to the rest of the bodice, though
in simple gowns of cheviot it venally
matches the skirt. In combination

usually of- Bilk and the sleeve of, cashmere

There is a tendenoy, as there has been
for some - time; to fit a bodice of some
striped goode to the figure plainly and
drape it across one side diagonally with
plain wool or silk. The outlines of the
figure are thrown in strong relief by the
drapery, and it appears slighter. The
large sleeves are heightened by a tiny

The lest_ __awn-_.00nditione- -- - -seem
powerful enough to coalesce races and to
make different peoples forget their jarring
interests, greeds and other traditionary
antipathies. Yet in the Indian army 'the
sameness, the oneness, of interests and
feelings extends only while the men are on
duty. When they are no longer under
discipline, the eight is worth . seeing by 'a
visionary who dreams that Hindus 'and
Mahomedans have practically beoome one
nation: The tools' manners and customs
of the races are different. Oat of the

Mabomedan comrade, no less than the lat-
ter shuns the former. Each goes apart,
each cooks for himself and each associates
with his oaetemen. The Mahomedan will
not admit the Hindu into hie hoose, lest
the profane gaze of the latter should defile
the sanctity of the Zenana. Nor will the
Hindu admit the Mahomedan into
his house, lost the unsanctifled
presence of, the oasteless should
render his domicile unholy, and
bis domestio utensils unclean. If there is
any school which should teach more
widely and more persistently than any

our. Indian army, broadly speaking, is
such a school. Yet we have, b'ut to study
it to see how it fares. And is a oommon

This, it might bthonght,wonld sot power-

bring about a new or united nation. But
here, too, castes and creeds still assert
their sway. They may be undermined,
but they are still far from falling. The

both in the North and in the South, is
Hindustani. Again, certain classes of
Mahomedana speak some one , of the

Year. He is Young—What of It ?
One of our contemporaries remarks in
the interested Tammany :
There is a young man in yDistrict Attorney
Findictment clerk, and Lindsay.
s said to draw uHe is known as
indand less than
fve�yemare aggo, iitteisg taed was old,a messenger in
the office of Judge Martine.,
In the first place, Mr. Lindsay was never -_
a messenger in the effioe of Judge Martine.
It is not an important matter, but we think
it better to be right than wrong, even in
details. In the second place, the fact that
Mr. Lindsay is a young man is neither a
fault nor b crime. It is a peculiarity that
he will gradually outgrow, if he lives. This
is a young man's world. We old fellows
are only the'. supernumeraries. And it is a
pleasure to feel, when twinges of the goat
are rampant and the frosts of age benumb
our faculties, that we can be easily spared,
for the crop of younglinge who are Doming
an the stage can handle affairs just as well
as we ever did, and possibly a.little better.
No slurs against youth, if yon please. --

How to Cook an Egg.
The beat way to nook an egg is to plane it
in a saucepan of boiling water and then at
once take it off the fire and place it on the
hearth. The egg will be . cooked in from
five to seven minutes, according to the
amount of water used. ,We nee a three
half-pint saucepan for three eggs, and the
'cooking process takes about six minutes.
The eggs are evenly cooked into a sort of
Dreamy consistency, and are much more
pleasant to the palate and more easily
digested than those boiled in the ordinary
way. Albumen coagulates et a temperature
of 130 degrees Fahrenheit Boiling point
is , much too high for the g: adual and
proper cooking of , an egg.—The Feathered
