That will not remedy nuttem materially, because only the high Havered treed of egg* is used iu cookery, where their peculiar ripeness cannot be delected. Aud these eggs are preserved .' in the plentiful season. Fresh eggs uie used to boil and poach and fry, mid they must be the genuine thing to be palat- able.

If therd is any Dhjtotloo to tho unit for Fox Fanning in Yukon The enthusiasm concerning fox catch- ing and farming in Yukon hns materially waned during the past few weeks, owing to the fact that the price of foxes has de- creased nearly 50 per cent, since last summer and that hundreds of foxes held iu captivity have died from sonio un known cause. Many of theso foxes were black, and, in some cases as high as $1,500 to $2,UOO had been paid for them. One dealer who, it is mid, could have sold his stock of foxes in July fur $65, OOO.sold two weeks ago for less thin $a6, 000, the letter price boing, to some ex- ten', due to the decline in prices, but, also, to the fast that many ef the anim- als had died in the meantime. One young black fox, fur which $1,000 had been paid, died live days after being plac ed in the corral. Owing to the decline in price, fully 150 y .ung foxtM, all of the rod variety, held in captivity m icuthern Yukon, have been turned out to return to their native haunts in the wilds.
