EGGS OF COMMERCE.
Tlie Imlx Rusitterra Deno tit the 1n ternftion
al Trailing lit Them.
There is a standard joke in the var-
iety theatres, so often told that is has
come to have a famiiar sound to the
ears of patrons, concerning a remark
made by a cite man who Beard that
eggs had gone down to a cent apiece.
"I don't see how the hens can do it
for the price." Notwithstanding the
reductionin the price of eggs, and the
almost unlimited supply of them in all
count ries that bane developed their ag-
rioeltural resources, it is a fact that
the trade in, eggs, their exportation
from one counrry to another, has be -
coma a large item In the internation-
al commerce, as some recent figures
show. The case ofDenmark is in point.
Denmark's trade in eggs with foreign
countries, chiefly with Fengland and
acatland, has grown enormously. Twen-
tyyears y urs ago t.heannuat Danish export
of eggs was 600,000; now Hi is reckuned
ali 110,000,000. In the same period the
importation. of eggs into l':ngland has
increased tenfold, bloat only a part of
the wholle number come tram Denmark,
the two other egg exporting countries
from (whielt England draws its sup-
plies being Holland and France. France
exports to other euamtrie,s 600,000,000
eggs to a rear and Italy exports 500,-
000,000 eggs in a year, chiefly to Aus-
tria and Germany.
The dairymen of the United States
depend chiefly on the home market,
and they have rivals in the export of
American eggs in the Canadians, Can-
ada ranking next to France and Italy
and ahead of Denmark and Holland
as an egg -exporting country. Canada
exports to other countries 300,000,000
eggs in a year.
1t is a somewhat carious fact, that
the. weight of eggs is materially larger
in Northern than in Southern climates.
Canadian eggs, for instance, are heavier
than thaso shipped from the United
States, and eggs in the Northern; States
of this country are heavier than those
from the South. '
A MAGNETIC MOUNTAIN.
Almost a Duplicate of an Arabian Night's
Story.
In the Arabian talus a story is told
about a magnetic mountain which at-
tracts irresistibly all Ships, and when,
they come near extracts eyory •par-
ticle of iron from them. even to the
nsaiLs. Such a mountain exists in re-
ality. although net quite as dangerous
in its activity as Vhs one mentioned in
the. oriental fairy tale. The island of
Bornholm, in the Baltic, belonging to
Deninark, consists almost entirely of
magnetite, and as magnetic influence
is very well known to thle navigators
of those waters, and also much feared
by them; not on account of the possibil-
ity of its extracting the nails from
their ships but: because of its influence
Dun the magnetic needle, which makes
the steering of a ship almost impos-
sible. Tliiis influence is felt even at a
distance of miles, and when this island
is sighted all mariners an the Baltic
discontinue steering their oourse by the
needle, bu.t turn to well known light
Mouses and other helps to direct their
course. Between Bornholm and the
inairdand there is a bank of rock un-
der water which is very dangerous to
navigation because 'of it being con-
stantly submerged vessels thave 'been
frequently, wrecked at that paint.. The
magnetic influence of taut ore bank
is so powerful that a mngneti'e needle
suspended freely in a beat over the
bank will pobit down and if not -dis-
turbed will remain in a perfectly ,per-
pe'ndimlea line.

Gtunbting in Windows and Seats From

A despatch from London says ;—The
wild speculation in seats from which

has become a perfect craze in Lon-
don, It requires little calculation to
shine that at the prevailing prices the
Plain, spectators on jubilee day are
expected to. expend in the aggregate
about $50,000.000 for the privilege of
seeing the show. This is simply absurd,
and paints almost to an inevitable col -
lease of tbe insane gamible before the

the British workman puts upon his

ing is booming, and as both masters

have to suffer in accordance with the
eternal law of supply and. demand. A.
good many lordly Englishmen have

Spencer, whose magnificent mansion,
Spencer House, St, James street, has
been let to the Duke of Marlborough
for a figure said to be prodigious, but
the amount is carefully concealed by
the persons concerned, doubtless for
fear that the world might consider the
wealthy young American Duchess ex-
travagant. Earl and Countess Spen-
cer have just completed clearing out
their persenal belongings to make room
for the new -comers, who want plenty
of time to get the place in hider to

DON'T DO IT.
A.vold Discussing Irritating Subjects at the
D" r Table.
Why is it that in most households
the dinner table beoames a dumping
ground for the wholesale plaints of its
numbers 4 Probably because this is the
only meal of the day when the entire
family meet together, and each one feels
it a duty to air a few personal griev-
&noes in order to seek consolation :ram
the others.
Out of deference to digestion, if for
no other reason, dinner -table conver-
sation should be of the spiciest, but
this fact is lost sight of in the general
desire of everybody, from papa down
to the youngsters to serve up only
those topics which have marred rather
than made the day's happiness.
Hardly bus the man of the house fin-
ished hiscarvingduties before he falls
into a,n animated financial discussion
with his wife. Household - expenses
are rehashed, bills grumbled over, and
the cost of living recalculated withte-
dious regularity.
Mother, to her turn, eagerly pours
into any listening ear her domestic
woes. The day's errors below stairs
are minutely recorded. She sighs over
Bridget's butter waste, declares that
the butcher's indifference to her order
is becom'vng intoi'erabie, and so on.
Then the small boy, poor little tar-
get for family flaw-picking,comes in
for his share of criticism. His failures
at school are relentlessly raked upend
ail sorts of punishments threatened un-
less thereis speedy- reform;.
If there are guests, present this talk
a the ,inner cirole Ls, for courtesy's
sake, given a less personal flavor. but
only -then. "Good 'cheer and plenty
of it" its not the motto of the average
family dinner.

The business situation at Toronto is
'unchanged. 'there is a fair volume of
trate n wholesale merchandise, but the
great drawback is emialil profits, prices
being out terrilyly. Mere -clients are cau-
tious and acting slowly. We notice,
however, that the imports of free and
dutiable goods at. Toronto for March
show an increase over the same month
of the two previous years. There is no
doubt but that general stocks ineetales
country are smaller than usual et this
season of the year and the chasces are
the tone and business sentiment will
improve after the Budget has been
brought down. The sorting up demand
for dry goods is fair, and some improve-
ment is notieed in groceries and hard-
ware. Sugars are firmer, with granu-
lated now jobbing at 4 3-80. per pound.
Garden implements and general hard-
ware are in good demand, tbe move-
ment being largem than usual, but the
profits are smal. The leather trade is
fair and prices rule fir= in sympathy

TRILTMPHS IN StTRGBRY,
Cleansing of the wound itself was al-
most a surgical heresy a few years ago.
Fouled bandages were the rule; and
the thicker and more abundant the. dis-
charges the more "laudable" they were
considered to be. Htence in the older
works an surgery the so-called "laud-
able" pus was much a sign. of safety
as it is now of danger. Cleanliness
of instruments, now a. prime consid-
eration, was then entirely ignored.
Oftentimes the same instruments would
be used at. different times upon the
dead as well as the living body ; and a
celebrated operator of that day was
arcustoned to hold his knife between
his teeth when his hatnds were tem-
pornrily employed in the wound. If e
out healed rapidly it was a rarity sufft-
ciently great to court comment. Now
the exact opposite is the fact. The
former result was rather an accident
of cleanliness than the deliberate ac-
kaout ledgment of what should have
been the rule. Consequently, the most
careful surgeons—those who possessed
instinctive habits of neatness and clean -
hams were the most successful.
FATE OF Ttl'L SULTANS.
Of the 38 Sultans who have ruled
the Ottoman Empire since the con-
quest of Constantinople by the Turks
34 have died violent deaths.
We can only bare the highest happi-

great in character, by having wide
thoughts, and much feeling for the rest
of the world aa well as for oturselves.—
