" t is a problem which we are trying to work out in the poultry department of the Experimental Farm,” replied the re- fessor, “ and if you come out some ter- noon I shall be pleased to show you what has been done. " g This short conversation occurred in I‘m vember last, and it was resolved at the time other engagements came in to prevent this ‘ lan being carried out. November passed, Becember came and went and the New X ear dawned. In January Prof. Saunders was again spoken to concerning the egg expen- ments. “ How are those eggs getting along, Prof. Saunders 2” was thequestion asked. “ Strange to say, we haven‘t beenable to spoil a single egg yet,” replied the director. “ \"e have kept some of them at a tempera- ture of from 78 to'S-f ° Fahrenheit since the latter part of October last, and up to date we haven’t found one to be bad. “'e have treated others even more severel ', .and yet they remain fresh at this dale. t is be in- ning to be a problem with us now, whet or an egg can really be spoiled.” January and February came. On the 2nd of that month his excellency dissolved Parliament, and the country was plunged into the excitement of a general election. Eggs were never once thought of. The weeks sped by, and the crucial 5th of March came with its triumph for Sir John. On Saturday last, more than a week after election day, the correspon- dent again met Prof. Saunders. ‘ “ Professor; what about those eggs?” “ They are still fresh,” was the surprising reply. “ We intend totest one from each batch this afternoon, and you had better come out and see them for yourself.” After so many invitations and failures to respond, it was thought best to put no fur- ther tax on good nature. The correspondent went out to the farm in the afternoon, and was present when the tests were made by Prof. Saunders and Mr. A. C. Gilbert, the poultry manager. The test in each case was very simple. An egg from the di‘i'erent batches was brou ht into the office and broken into a tum ler. It was then care- full examined. 0. lâ€"This was an e g laid on October 27 last. \Vith others it lad been packed in bran and laid away in the cellar. It was four and a half months old. Prof. Saunders broke it into the tumbler and it was found absolutely fresh and sweet. The albumen. was clear, and the yolk firm. No. 2.â€"â€"This s ecimen was laid on the 29th of October ast, or four and a half months ago. It had been placed in the in- cubator on 3lst of October and kept at a. gross until February months and 1‘2 days. It need scarcely be said that this represents a very much higher average than the temperature of our three hottest summer months, and was only 20 to 24degrees below the hatching heat. When broken, however, this eggwasperfectly good. The volume of albumen had shrunk about one-half and it was denser; but there was not the faintest trace of disagreeable odor. To the taste it was fresh and sweet. No. 3â€"Th is c g was laid on 5th of Novem- ber last and hadieen subjected to unusually severe treatment. From this time it was laid until the 11th of Februaryâ€"a period of over three monthsâ€"it had been left for half of each dayin the incubator, and for the other half in the colder atmosphere of the cellar. This alternating extremes of tem erature each day would seem to be more t an any ordinary egg could stand. But when Prof. Saunders broke the shell, the contents fell into the goblet clear and odorless. The vol. ume was, however, considerably reduced, and at the pointwhere the yolk had rested a ainst the shell there was the faintest pos- si la trace of stalencss. In every other re- spect the egg was sweet and absolutely fit heroic treatment. It was laid on the 7th December last, and on the 23rd of that mouth it had been placed in the incubator and kept at a temperature of from 78° to 84° until February 11. From that time until last Saturday it had lain in the open cellar. [t was broken, and seemed in every respect is fresh as the day it was laid. The air ipace was small, the albumen clear and the yolk perfectly sweet. No. 5~This one had been laid on 3rd of November last. It was then packed after a very common method. The surface of the shell was greased with lard and the egg buried in salt. It was considerably over five months old ; yet it was perfectly sound. It was neither better nor worse than those which had received no special attention. It was simply a good, full, fresh egg. No. 6-â€"â€"This was an extraordinary speci- men. Along with half a dozen others it had been laid in the otlice drawer during the first week in August last. It had been given no treatment whatever. There it lay through all the heat of August and Septem- ber, the changing temperatures of the fall months, the severer extremes of winter, not 10 feet from a base burner stove, and down to the hour of the test. When Prof. Saun- ders got ready to break this e that had lain for seven months and a ha in an office drawer, the newspaper man step ed back a pace or two, so as to be prepare: for the worst. Back number 9 gs are alwn 's tobe suspected. Yet,whcn t e table kni e broke the shell in twain, the contents fell out, sweet, fresh looking and perfectly whole- some. As a matter of fact, Prof. Saunders ate it for his supper, and pronounced it first class in every respect. Here, then, were the proofs of the sur- prising fact that fresh e couldbe kept for a long period without so ering material de- terioration. The last egg examined was over seven months old, lying all that time in acomparat ively warm room and surround- ed with no reservativcs whatever. Yet, like all the ot iers, it was perfectly good. It would seem that an egg packed away when quite fresh may be kept at a high tempera- ture for many months, or submitted to ex- tremes of heat and cold, without enduring to any appreciable extent in quality. These experiments also show that popular notions ting the age at which an egg may be cal to be fresh are in need of revision.

" ‘ mums WITH THE NOSE: Singular Practice of the Inhabitants or the Dark Continent. The junction of noses is so general, and described as so forcible in Africa. and Oceauica, as to have given rise to a fanciful theory that it had occasioned the flattening of the noses of the people. But in the accounts of many, of the tribes, pfgbadapk. continent and of the islanders of New Zealand, Rotuma, Tahiti, Tonga; and:other of mutual smelmi . .[t is «true that the travelers generally call it rubbing, butithe motion and pressure are sometimes no greater than that of the muzzles of two dogs making or cementing acquaintance. :The. pressure and rub are secondary" and em- phatic. The juncture only means the compliment “ You smell very good.” It is illustrated in the Navigator group when the noses of friends are saluted with a long and hearty rub and the explanatory words: “ Good ! very good ! I am happy. now I” The Calmucks also go through a suggestive pantomine of greetin , in which they creep on their knees to see other and then‘join noses, as much as possible like the two do a before mentioned. In the Navigator islan s only equals mutually rub their noses. " The inferior rubs his own nose on and smells the superior’s hand. The respectful greeting of Fiji is to take and smell the hand of the superior without rubbing it. In the Gam- bia, when the men, salutethe women they put the woman’s hand up to their noses and smell twice at the back of it.’ In the Friendly islands noses are joined, adding the ceremony of taking the hand of the person to whom civilities are paid and rubbing it with a degree of force upon the saluter’s own nose and mouth. The Mariana- islanders formerly smelled at the hands of those whom they wish to tender homage. Capt. Beechy describes of the Sandwich islanders : “ The lips are drawn inward between the teeth, the nostrils are distended, and the lungs are widely inflated ; the face is then pushd for- ward, the noses brought into contact, and the ceremony concludes with a hearty ru .” â€"â€"â€"¢._â€"â€" Driving: Away an Eclipse. Esquimaux are believers in ghosts. They also believe in the transmigration of the soul, that spirits return to animals, winds, rocks, ice and water; that they are evil, angry, or good, as the elements may be favourable or unfavourable; and that they can be appeased by hoodoo rites if the performer is sufficiently versed in occult sciences. To change the’wind, for instance, they chant, drum, and howl against it, build fires, shoot against it, and, as a last resort, fire the graves of,the_dead. Tribes put hoodoos on each other by .cere- menial dances and howling. The hoodoo of building of a fire within sight of those com- ing under their displeasure. Tribal re- lations are severed by making a fire outside and burning all ornaments or disguises used in ceremonial dances, such as raven skins, eagles’ tails, deer horns, and masks. Tribes that are hoodooed an. swer b a return hoodoo ; but with ,families and in ividuals it is different. Outlawed by their tribe or relations, they become dis- couraged, hopeless, and gloomy, and “ go off and die.” Eclipses of the moon create the greatest cl ns ernation, and almost paralyse, the people with fear. Arctic earthquakes having been coincident with eclipses of the moon, they say that an eclipse is the she,- dow of the earth being piled up and shaken. All the unutkoots in a village will howl and drum till it is passed, claiming that they have driven the thino' away. Among the Nooatoks all hands ra 1y around a pair of huckhorns, form a circle, and march around to the music of drums and wild chants till the eclipse is off. Thackerayâ€"Elushmen. It was on the same day that a broken- down Irish entleman, not unlike the great Costi an, fe 1 into talk without being intro- duce . His brogue was thick and noble, and after a time he said : “ Ye might not believe it, Sorr, but I’m an Irishman.”â€"â€"-“Good heavens ! You don’t say so l” answered Thackeray. “I took you for an Italian.” This playful love of Ireland and the Irish was for ever with Thackeray, and many of his Irish ballads are little less racy of the soil than Lever’s own. But it was not under- stood, as he always felt henever was. His good tempered banter was set down as mockery, and one day, in Anthony Trollo ’s stables, a curious old groom who heard ' hackeray’s name said to him : “ I hear you have written a book upon Ireland, and .are always making fun of the Irish. YOu don’t like us." â€"“ God help me l” said Thackeray, turning his head away as his 6 es filled with tears ; “ all that I have love best in the world is Irish.” Much‘did he love to talk of Irish oddities, and durin hi American lectures was delighted to to how, dining at St. Louis, he overheard one Irish waiter say to another : “ Do you know who that is '2” , " No,” was the answer. “ That,” said the first, “ is the celebrated Thacher." “ What’s he done '2" Dâ€"d if I know.”â€"[Life of “K M.

Proper Tune for Feeding- The farmer who is up and at the barn be- fore daylight in the winter, to ive his stock a hurried morning feed, before e goes away to the day’s work at mill or market, will no doubt, find them requiring another feed at noon, and again another after his day's labor is done, says the American Cultivator. On theeontrary, thefarmerwho does not 0 to the barn until after daylight, and who eeds leisurely, adding u. little more as they eat what is put before them, until their appe- tites are satisfied, will not need to feed again until the afternoon, when the same course of feediur will furnish them enough to last until momin . Probably this method will keep the catt e in quite as ~od condition, upon less food, than would used by the other method, but the time spent each day} in this way may be made more valuable than the excess of fodder, unless one has a large stock of cattle to feed.

To get rid of self-seeking demago use was not, it is true, the original object o ostrac- ism, which was designed merely to guard the Government (which had no standing army , to sustain it) from falling into the hand of usurping despots.
