A Great City’s Egg Supply.
“About twenty-five years ago,” ue.
said an old attendant in the big „ .
3 Famine rever is spreading m
Washington Market, “several men
made fortunes at catching frogs
and sending them to market The
hind legs were cut off, skinned,
washed, and, after being mindly,
salted, were sent away in barrels.
Prices used to range from fifty to
seventy-five cents for a dozen pairs
of legs, and as sales were quick, 5
there was a pile of money in the
occupation. -
One old fellow, a blacksmith by
the name of-Weld, down in Green-
buse, Me., supplied all of New
England for years. He lived by
the side of very extensive swamps
that were filled with wrigglers and
cattails. The former furnished
food for the frogs, while the latter
gave them shade. I have seen bull
frog-legs' that were as big as the
legs of a chicken.
“Old man Weld used to hire
boys to kill frogs for him, giving
them five or six cents a dozen. The
frogs were so plentiful that many
of the children earned good wages,
even at that small price. Weld
dressed the frogs, corned them and
shipped them to Boston in barrels,
like herrings. He kept up the bus
iness for years, and, though he
slew hundreds of thousands every
year, the supply did not diminish
at all.
“By and by. prices went away
down, and, as the old man had
cleared about,8100,000 out of the
scheme, he retired, built himself a
fine mansion, and lived at his ease.
He is the only man I know; of who
got rich by catching frogs, but I
have heard of several others.”
)
When it comes to - eggs, figures
fail. It" is necessary to speak of
them by dozens. Last year 6,000,-
000 dozens of eggs were sold in the
egg markets, 72,000,000 eggs all
told. But that is nothing. Hun
dreds of grocers get their eggs di
rect from the country, so that it
will probably be safe to say that
New York and its vicinity con
sume 1,000,000,000 eggs every
year, as the egg men say they do
not sell one-tenth part of the eggs
used in New York.
They are gathered from every
where; some are raised right in the
city limits, many across the river
in Hudson - county, N. J., hundreds
of thousands on Long Inland, and
nobody knows how many within
two hundred miles of New York
city. They are packed in barrels
chiefly for the marketj'and in box
es—each egg in its own compart-
ment-r-for family and grocery
store shipment. The only availa
ble figures are those of the mar
kets, but the dealers say they do
not begin, to represent one-tenth
part of the consumption.- -New

Philanthropic and wealthy He
brews are likely to be addressed
from Philadelphia by the promo
ters of a moyement now stirring in
that city. .It is a quickening and
extension of the Jewish Alliance of
America, organized some years
ago in" Philadelphia'to respond to
the rush of Jewish exiles from
Bussia and Boumania. A nation
al organization of local lodges ■ and
societies is now contemplated.
Membership, fee will be §25. Thus
far eastern more than western col
onization of these exiles has been
successful.
Beaders of the journal of Maria
Bashkirtseff will b.o interested to
learn that her- painting, “The
Meeting,” has been purchased by
the French government and placed
in the Luxembourg palace. Here
it will remain, according to the
rule, until the 'tenth year follow
ing the artist’s death, when it will
be placed in the:Louvre or at Yer-
sailes. T -
It is a well known fact that per
sons grow somewhat shorter as
they reach advanced years, owing
to a “settling” of the bony struct
ure. A noted case is reported
from Harrington. Del., where a
man died a few days ago who, ow
ing to a contraction of the spine,
had becomes foot shorter than he
was when he stopped growing.
