Orat Britain la ths largest egg-Im porting country. No breakfast table ia well furnished without eggs, and British hen would give up iu despair it it were intimated to them that they ought to supply all the eggs the popu lation ens consume. In fact, the num ber ot hens is so very inadequate that over 1,334.000,000 of egg, worth $20, 000,000, are imported every year to make up the deficiency in the home supply. Nobody wonders more than the British do themselves why they don't rail mora poultry and errs, and o a pouMry conference met at Read ing to talk the matter over. Mr. Walter Long, president of the British bsnrd of agriculture, told the delegnlcH that 43 eggs were imported each year for every man, woman and child in the United Kingdom, and every out ui these eggs might just as well he mixed at home. Ho would do all he vmilil to facilitate this desirable result. Some of the delegates said that the poultry farmer might reasonably expeot a profit of Ave shillings a year from the eggs of each hen, and there was no reason why the home produc tion should not be largely increased. Various ways of encouraging the in dustry wero approved. Among the diversions of the confer ence was a trip to Baynards, in Surey. where the delegates were conducted over the great poultry fattening es tablishment of Mr. C. E. Brooke, who annually sends 38,000 fowls to the London market. This market has some peculiarities which the farmer must take into account. The chicken must be sent to market with its head on, for the buyer will not invest in s fowl whose head has been cut off The Idea Is that chickens that are mu tilated may possibly have been, killed by some animal. It is also Important that the chicken should have white or ut least light yellow legs, as the poultry buyers object to black legs. There is no good ground for this objection, but consumers will have their way, and their whims must be gratified. If chlokens with black legs are forced up on the market they bring only nbout hnlf the price of those with light legs The great hen countries ot Europe are France, Austria-Hungary, Itussiu, Italy, Belgium and Denmark, and thus England has plenty of neighbors hat are willing to supply her wants. Can ada Is now trying to. get a part of the trade. If China might only be econonv ically tapped for poultry and eggs that country could beat all creation in the quantity supplied, for .that empire has more fowls than any other country In the world.

OUR CHIHBSB ALLIES, WIMtaat Tkess sad Without Ostium Oar Arssr Mlfhl Starve la l.usoa. What water Is to the cariuao, opium Is to the Chinaman. Unless the Chinese were allowed opium, the 1m; 1 1 y of the army might starve and the rifle want for ammunition. Every Chinaman, whether In the sup ply train or in the hospital corps, Is nut a "John," as he Is in the states, or a boy," as he Is in the English settle ments In China, but a "Ctiecno," and ths "Cheeno," Ilka the earlbao which he drives, prefers to live on the country, if wo would allow it. But Uncle Ham In his goodness of heart brlnsrs rice out from Manila for him, while ha leaves undisturbed, to be returned to their future owners, eucb stores as the insurgents have not burned. A little rice and a few smokes a day, and a "Cheeno" manages to keep pace with the earlbao, and at other times bears burdens that would break a Filipino's beck. The Yankee drivers do not understand the language, and he does not under stand theirs. The teamster swears sad gesticulates, aad the Chinaman "sav eye" the second or the third, if not the first, time what la wanted, If he gets lazy and lolls under the shade of a cart, he is sure to be up by the time that the "bos" he knows that much American English is within striking distance. From what they have seen In the hospital corps, our officers are con vinced the Chinese under white officers will make fine soldiers. They will fol low the white doctor into the most dangerous places on the field. Without the white man's moral support they yell and run. When one cried out in his dream at one o'clock in the morning, two-thirds of our cariboo drivers thought thst the Filipinos were upon them. In their fright some Jumped into the river. Our soldiers in fishing them nut forgot the dlcoinfortuf being su nk' n -1 pud near ly burst their sides with lavsrMer. Ilut they have cause for their fears. After squeezing all his money out of a thrifty Chinaman, the Filipinos some times shave off his queue or sometime heng him. Collier's Weekly. Aa aataslasT Story.

The appendix waa described as a short, wormlike tube from three to six Inches lonir, usually the shorter length. and abundantly supplied with lymphoid tissue. The tonsils in the mouth are the most familiar examples of lymphoid tis- ue, one of the characteristics of which Is a readiness to become Inflamed whea poisoned by bacteria. As In tonsilitis. the inflammation of the appendix will burn itself out, except that in the latter case there ia danger of the tuba becom- , ing perforated by ita ulcerations ana the inflamed contents leaking; into the interstitial tissues of the abdomen. - When the latter happen, it is a ease of cutting the thing out quickly or calling- in the undertaker.

A curious relation has been rioted Be tween the disease and movements call ing for a sustained bending of the body forward on the hips. Bicycling', playing; rush on a football eleven, scrubbing a floor while standing on the feet instead of being on hands and knees, are ths positions which appear to predispose to appendicitis.
