It is a curious fallacy that the browncoloured egg is necessarily superior to the ordinary,white egg, but it is doubtful whether the colour of the shell bears any relationship to the nourishing quality of the egg. There is probably, however (states the Lancet), an important dietetic difference be tween two eggs, the yolk of one of which is a very pale yellow colour, and that of the other a rich, almost reddish, colour. The substance which contributes colour to the yolk of the egg is iron, just-as it i? iron which gives colour to the blood, and there seems to be little doubt that the iron compound in the yolk of the egg is of a similar nature to that of the blood. It is easily assimilated, and eggs are regarded as a suitable food for the anaemic person, as they present a concenlra ted and generally easy digested form of nutriment rich in iron. The iron compound of the egg has, in fact, been termed a “ baematogen ” (blood former), because it is probable that from it the blood of the chick is derived.

It appears, however, from a consular report that the culinary possibilities of the frog are now becoming well understood by the American people—so well that their thoughtful Government, with an eye to the encouragement of home in dustries, has promptly decided that all foreign frogs are “ poultry,” and must pay duty as such. New Orleans has taken the paternal hint, and is developing a big trade in home-grown frogs, which are raised on the most approved Yankee “scientific principle" and "sent all over the country in cold storage.” One firm alone has worked up a trade averaging £IO,OOO a year, A correspondent writes to a London paper; Your paragraph about Archbishop Bourne as a total abstainer reminds me of a little episode I once witnessed in the theatre of the Chrystal Palace, where Cardinal Manning was addi easing an immense members of (he League of the Cross, a temperance organisation that was very near his heart. “ I will confess to you," he said, with that mixture in his manner of the playful and the paternal which his Irish children loved, “that I do not practice what I preach. lam not a total abstainer myself, because my doctor won’t let me be one.” At once a voice came from the topmost gallery, “ Change your doctor!” “ Thank you for the hint, my friend,” promptly returned the Cardinal, “ I will." What, is more, he did; with the result that he was a teetotaller ever afterwards, refusing all stimulants, even in his last illness.
