A dear little maid came skipping out In the glad new day with a merry about; With dancing feet and with flowing hair She sang with Joy in the morning air. "I)on't sing before breakfast, you'll cry before night!" W\hat a croak to darken the child's di light! And the stupid old nurse again and again Repeated the ancient, dull refrain. The child paused trying to understand; But hereoes saw the great world rainbow span- t ned; C 1Her light little feet hardly touched the earth, Andr her soul brimmed over with innocent mirth. "Never mind-don't listen-oh, sweet little maid! s Make sure of your mornintg song," I said; k "And if pain must meet you, why, all the more Be glad of the rapture that came before." "Oh, tears and sorrow are plenty enough, Storms may be bitter and paths be rough, But our tears should fall like the earth's bright I show, rs That help to ripen the fruits and flowers. So gladden the day with your blissful song, Sing on while you may, dear, sweet and strong!

Hundreds of Troy's pretty young at ladies went to Saratoga. w The sky threatened rain. The young ladies wore bustles. Perhaps there was no connection be- a tween the threatening sky and the bustles, bi and perhaps there was. Shortly after the excursionists reached lip Saratoga the rain began to pour. Many of the young ladies with their escorts were w seated in the parlor of a hotel when the 1n rain began to fall. The prospect was dis mal as viewed from the hotel windows. Within it seemed sad, too.

Everything was clean and neat. r v. Several strange looking wooden machines, r ed totally unlike anything I had ever seen, is stood in diffcrent parts of the room. Six a of or seven men were operating the machin- a to ery, which moved noislessly and with t- great rapidity. I followed my conductor e. to one end of the department, where there n were three large tanks or vats. One was fr filled with a yellow compound, the second h "e with a starchy mixture, and the other was n covered. Pointing to these the proprietor t e said: "These contain the yelk mixture of sr and the white of egg. We empty the vats e every day so you can judge of the extent m i. of the business already. You see they are m e divided into different boxes or receptacles. m e The first and second are the yelk and te a white.

I first conceived the idea t after making a chemical analysis of an I egg. I then turned Any attention to the machinery, and the result you see your self. Of course it would not be policy for thr me to explain all the mechanism, but I'll give you an idea of the process. Into the pal first machine is put the yolk mixture " so "What is that?" I asked. lik er. vv nat is that?" I asked. can "Well, it's a mixture of Indian meal, n- corn starch and severalother ingredients. ed It is poured into the opening in a thick, es. mushy state, and is formed by the machine ly- into a ball and frozen. In this condition he it passes into the other box, where it is id, surrounded by the white which is chemi ir, cally the same as the real egg. This is ne also frozen, and by a peculiar rotary mo tion of the machine an oval shape is im er parted to it, and it passes into the next red eceptacle, where it receives the thin, n- flimy skin. After this it has only got to le go through the sheller. There it gets its to last coat in the shape of a plaster of paris gs shell, a trifle thicker than the genuine ar ticle. Then it goes out on the drying trays, where the shell drys at once aud the inside thaws out gradually. It becomes, to all appearances a real egg." "How many eggs can you turn out in a day ?" "Well, at we are running now we turn is out 1000 or so every hour." d "Many orders ?" io "Why, bless your soul, yes. We can n, ot fill one-half of our orders. All we can make now are taken by two New York wholesale grocers alone. We charge o $13 per thousand for them, and they re t tail at all prices from 12 to 20 cents per e dozen. We sell only to the wholesale e houses. I suppose plenty of these eggs e are eaten in Newark as well as in other s places. Col. Zulick, Billy Wright, Honest r Andrew Albright, Joe HIaines, Judge - Johnson, Judge Henry, and all of New - ark's candidates for Governor are living on them. They are perfectly harmless, and 1 as substantial and wholesome as a real egg. The reason we made the machinery of wood is because we found that the pres ence of metal of any kind spoiled the fla vor and preyented the cooking of the eggs." "Can they be boiled ?"

I inquired, t while the bogus egg was being boiled. r "I hardly think that anybody would be likely to observe any difference unless he I happened to be well posted, as they look a and taste like the real thing.

The effect of Civilization on an old Copper-colored Warrior. A dispatch says that Sitting Bull, once the proud leader of a band of copper-color ed cut-throats, is at his reservation down sick with a cold, pneumonia, inflammatory rheumatism, and jim-jams. This is the result of civilization. When he was a wild Indian, roaming the plains in search of scalps, dressed in a blanket and ear rings, sleeping under the shelter of a tree in the snow, he was never sick, never had a cold, and never knew a doctor. Now he is civilized, is furnished with warm garments, plenty to eat, and a house heated by steam, and a new disease catches him every week. This should be a warn ing to wild Indians not to accept the hospi talities of civilization. It may seem to the talities of civilization. It may seem to the wild man, who goes without his dinner ur- unless he can kill some game, that the proffer of a house, food, clothing and ser vants, is not to be despised, but a season bat fighting the diseases of civilization causes the red man to sigh for the open prairie, Ju- the forest, the wigwam and the bloody scalp of the pale face. It is enough to cause tears to flow from eyes unused to s. weeping, to think cf sitting Bull, the greatest murderer of the age, perhaps with eli the exception of the James brothers, re of clining on his couch with the inflammatory in rheumatism. Details of soldiers from the t. regular army may bathe his aching joints ' with horse liniment, and savory dishes of ' condition powders may be fired down him, x and everything may be done to make the n- great man comfortable, but as the pain takes him by the shoulder, goes down his or spine and works into his legs and feet, and re curls him up like a coil of barbed fence a wire, pious man though he be, since he has been converted, he will swear a blue s streak and sigh for his wet moccasins and the snow-capped mountains in the vicinity 1 re of his old stamping ground, where he kill ed Custer. The government wet nurses may soak Sitting Bull's cloven feet in hot . mustard water, give him ginger tea, and pour cough syrup down among the gut teral sounds that escape him, and try to t e break up his cold, and they may read to I him from the good Sunday-school books, it and try to believe that he is a good Indian, but the poor stricken man will always feel that the government has put up a job on him, to kill him by degrees. The aborig inal cough that racks his manly i frame may seem to his attendants like the knell that tolls for a soul about to de- a part from the clay, and they may try to a sooth "him with hymns, btrt he will feel like kicking them all out doors, mounting bm a trusty mule, and going out and killing a w settler or two, believing that such exer- tl cise would do more to cnre him than all the medicine of the doctors. A sick Indian ra must be a mournful spectacle, not only to outsiders, but to the aforesaid Indian. He h( must realize what a mistake civilization is. th If he has lived to arrive at man's estate without being sick a day, while exposed to all the hardships of his race, and has never heard the name of disease, and then goes to a reservation and lives in govern ment barracks. and picks up an almanac and reads a list of the diseases that his Pt white brethren are subject to, a list as thi long as a congressman's speech, and rea- kn lizes that he is liable to have all of those trc diseases if he lives long enough, it must lik set the Indian to thinking, and if he gu does not conclude that the government ha keeps these diseases on tap, to kill off In- Di dians that are captured, then he is truly a to good Indian that ought to die. Sitting fee Bull has seen the folly of being a civilized pal Indian. rec Indian. we ew The WVork Progressing Between rge Butte and Garrison. re- During the last ten days operations per have rapidly developed in preparing the ;ale Utah and Northern roadbed between ;gs Butte and Garrison for the third rail, so as her to permit operation of it by the Northern est Pacific trains. The method is to remove Ige all but a small portion of the ballast be w- tween the present narrow gague ties, shov on eling it out to each side and thus widening ind the grade. Then for each alternate nar eal row gauge tie a broad gauge tie (Union Pry Pacific standard) will be placed. A 52 es- pound steel rail will then be laid for one I la- rail of the standard gauge, and the narrow :he gauge rails shifted over so as to bring the center of broad gauge track In the center of the roadbed. Then the road will be I he ballasted by gravel trains, and it seems to 4 an us, with such a bed of ties and good bal- I lasting, it ought to make a very substan .d, tial roadbed. The U.

After nine years' assiduous z e work he has just finished a writing desk t and book case combined that contains so a many thousand pieces of wood that it was t found next to impossible to keep the num- s berexact. Fifty-two kinds of wood were ii used in this unique piece of' furiture :ind tl there is scarcely a square inch that is not fi inlaid.

About 1 o'clock .k as Oflicer Cole was walking his beat be ti tween Third and Fourth avenues south on y Washington he heard a noise, as he sup - posed, to the rear. On going round he d could not see anything. He crossed over e j by an alley way to Fourth avenue south and there met Officer Burley, whom he in informed of his suspicions. They both started behind the Day block, which is the e building adjoining the one in which the e robbery was committed, and on coming to I the rear of the Cohen building saw the i window broken in. Oflicer Cole states that n Burley went in and lighted the gas while , he (Cole) remained at the rear, but nobody could be found in the store. After a dili gent search, Burley repaired to headquar ters and informed Lieutenant Daly of the robbery. In the meantime Cole was on duty watching for the robbers when, as he says himself, Burley had scarcely gone t two blocks when he saw a man coming across the lot in the direction of the store, evidently bent on having another load, but Cole became nervous and fired on the man, who immediately turned and ran. The officer pursued him but without re sult. When Burley and the Lieutenant got back everything was a scene of con fusion about the store. Clothes in the shape of overcoats, pantaloons, etc., were lying around the window. A reporter of the Tribune called at the store yesterday and learned the loss of the firm was about $G00, consisting of clothes, twelve gold chains, two silver watches, besides sleeve buttons and diamond pins. As yet there is no clue to the robbers but sooner or later, it is to be hoped, they will be brought to justice. To-day the mayor will investigate the charges of cowardice made against the two officers and if they are found guilty both will probably be discharged. Iowa Editors in Trouble. Ly.
