Artifinal Eggs.
Every now and then one finds in
the newspapers something about arti-
ficial eggs. It nas been said that they
are manufactured in Chicago and
various other places, But no one can
be found who ever saw an artificial egg
or whe had ever seen a man who had
seen them. Most people have con-
sidered them as purely imaginary, but
now comes the Pittsburg Post with
the assertion that an egg factory is to
be started at Beaver Falls, Pa,, with
maxbinery which will cost a hurdred
and fifty thousand dollars. We are
not told what the eggs are to be made
of or whether they will be good
but only that the shells, after being
emptied, can te utilized in india-rubber
shoe factories, and that eggs will be so
cheap that heus will be driven out ct
the business, For most persons the
hen egg which bas not been too long
disassociated from the parent, is good
enough, especially it it is a guinea hen
egg. In England plovevsT eggs are
eonsidered a dainty, and every bird
that is so unfortunate as to lay an egg
resembling that of a plover is robbed
to make an English holiday. . It would
be well, for the protection of birds, fur
some one tostart a factory in England
tor the manufacture of ploversT eggs.
This would be a public service. When
we spenk of artificial eggs it will be
urderstood that eggs are meant which
can be eaten, and not the fraudulent
china eggs designed to fool hens into
laying when they donTt want to."

The Pistol Was Some Good,
Several colured men were fooling
with a pistol in a house in oLilly
Row,� south Camden, Saturday nignt.
Theodore Archer had it, and Vincent
Jones said;
oDat pistol ainTt no good.�
o*TainTt, eh? Betcher itTs got er
loac in,� replied Arcner.
oAh, come off! HereTs a shot;
shoot me !�
Jones held up his arms as he step-
ped off a pace or two. Archer leveled
the revolver and pulled the tngger.
He was right about tke load. J nes
cried: oFon de LawdTs saik !� and
dropped. Cooper Hospital surgeons
dug a big bullet out of his leg yester-
day.
Archer was arrested, but as Jones
said it was alla joke be wiil probably

Negroes Have Voice in White Schools
In the campaign of 1892 and 1896
we heard @ great deal about the un"

it was said: oWhy, they won't even
let you vote for school ~comtnitteemen.

THE oCREDIT MANTS� WORK.
flow Business Houses Protect Themselves
Against Loss.
The functions of a credit man are
hot generally known to the public,
but he is in many respects the most
important person employed by a
mercantile concern, Briefly, he is
supposed to be informed regardin,
ened
.|the commercial standing of every
firm or individual with whom his
[own house has any dealings, and
the firm for which he works has the | "=
exclusive benefit of his investiga-
tions, his knowledge and his experi-
ence, It does not trust to him alone,
of course, because in the case of a
large house there would be rather
more than he could attend to. The |
regular mercantile agencies are de-
pended upon for a certain amount
of information, usually that which
concerns the oldest and richest cor-
porations, about whose solvency
there is commonly no question.
|The credit man may, however, if
his employers suspect a necessity
for it, be called upon to probe still
furtber than the regular agencies
go, in order to make assarance
doubly sure.
When a would be buyer from
some remote part of the country
presents himself to a firm to which
he is entirely unknown, he is intro-
duced at once to the credit man.
The latter receives whatever cre-
dentials the stranger has to offer,
and if he is satisfied that the honse
will run no risk in selling to him he
states the fact, and his judgment is
accepted.
Various considerations determine
the amount of security which a new
custcmer is required to show, and
not infrequently it is stipulated that
he shall have a rea} estate backinz
which is known to be responsible.
The credit man also figures out at
once the largest amount of credit
which can be granted to the new|8&
buyer, this being determined accord-
&| ing to the figure at which he is
rated. :
Subsequently, as he rung up bills
for goods, they all pass under the
credit manTs watchful eye, and if it
is found that the customer is close
upon his credit limit the last pur-
chase is often held until it is proved
|to a certainty that its delivery will
entail no loss to thefirm. This proc-
ess of keeping track of every buy-
erTs limit imposes a never ending
task upon the credit man, and it is
one which requires delicate han-
diing too.T While great caution is
necessary, there must be as few
needless suspicions as possible, for
these are often the means of driving
away perfectly trustworthy custom-
ers, who feel themselves insulted by
the reflection upon their financial
methods.
In cases where there is ground
for believing that a.custamer will
bedr Watching, the credit manTs in-
vestigations are very thorongh, Ho
inquires as to the private affairs of
the buyer in question, finds out as
nearly a& poseible the amount of his
income and how his money is in-
vested and keeps an eyo as well
~upon'the way in which be lives and
spends. With every precaution,
hoyever,: there are many losses,
an~ it is the binsinoss of the annual
eunyention of credit men to discover
better ways each yenr of protecting
merenntile interests."New York
