It is no use being re minded that Time is only a term for meas- ured duration, and that its measurements have continued without. interruption and | with even regularity, because we are aware of that; but what we would wish to com- prehend is, how a whole year can float off our reckoning, and we only register its de- parting shadows. Probably the New Eng- and response of “I want to know” is all the solution the question admits: and so, Mr. Editor, that must be my surprise at a year’s lapse since I wrote last for THe Ex- AMINER. I spent that yoar in New Jersey, ata place called Vineland, which is a borough in Cumberland County. What I did was to buy a cottage, improve it, and fit it up for some British Columbia friends to enjoy asummer with me in the midst of flowers and a cool grove of oaks adjoining, which I have the use of by paying the taxes. As the summer came to a close, my visitors packed up and proceeded to Chicago, in- tending to winter there and attend the Art Institute. So I sold my cottage and dis- posed of my furniture, and packed my own trunks, too, and went to New York, did some visiting there, and took a stateroom in the steamship Louisiana, one of the Cromwell Line steamers that take passengers and freight without calling anywhere on the way to New Orleans. The Louisiana should have left New York on Saturday, Oct, 4, at 3 p. m., but so much freight had to be handled that she cnly got away at 7 o'clock on Sanday morning, but by noon we had covered 75 miles; then at noon on the 6th we had made 324; then 308 on the 7th; then 313 on the 8th; then 335 on the 9th, and then on Friday we made a bee line across the Guif of Mexico to the mouths of the Mississippi, and at 1 p. m. completed the last section of dis- tance (395 miles), and tied up alongside the company’s wharf in the famous city of New Orleans. The Louisiana did not carry a full com- plement of passengers this trip, because it is very early in the season to make tracks for New Orleans. But this was ail the bet- ter for those that did go, for there was plenty of room, The passengers were all agreeable people, the vessel was altogether satisfactory, and the weather simply per- fect for the purposes of enjoyment and health, andI had the pleasure of meeting the Rector of Trinity Church (in whose parish I am for the winter) who was return- ing from his tour in Europe, and found him avery agreeable companion, and, I sup- pose, very scholarly, as he differed from my simple understanding of some little bits of ministerial logic. The first thing that greeted my eyes while alongside the New Orleans Wharf was the Roman Catholic Cathedral, loom- ing up behind what is called the French Market, which is open every day (Sundays included) from sunrise to noon, and on Sunday is a babbling babel of mixed speech in a dozen varieties of utterance, that makes a realistic explanation of the old confusion of tongues we read of in Gen- esis. It was very pleasant while I was ab- sorbing what I saw from the deck of the vessel, to have a familiar hand put on iny shoulder, and the well-known features of a friend rise before me. It was Dr. Don Matthews, formerly of Lynn, Mass., who gave me that greeting—and we left the ship together, and proceeded to his place of business on Canal St. Then I took the street car up St. Charles avenue to Jack- son street, and soon found 291, the number ] wanted. Now, then, being seated therein and doing my best to show you that my one year’s silence has not diminished my interest in you and yours, let me give you my first impression of New Orleans. You know that New Jersey mosquitoes are celebrated for their business activities and bigger drawings than even a Louisiana lottery, but the New Orleans variety is so far ahead of them in numbers and perse- verance that, used as Lam to the former, I am fairly nonplussed at the latter. but what strikes me asthe most wonder- ful part of their record is that no steps are taken to exclude them from the dwelling rooms of the people. Ihave not seen a single mosquito screen since 1 have been here, and do not think that what is called up north,Jmosquito netting,is even on sale in the stores. The mosquoto trouble in New Orleans is the one unabateable curse ; it is the one drawback of this other- wise seeming paradise, and yet it is said to be an agency of protection against a greater evil that would otherwise come unresisted from the alluvial deposits of the father of waters. I would mention two points in this connection. New Orleans is situated below thelevel of the Mississippi, and built upon soil that from two to four feet below the surface is water.

When he left his resi- dence in the morning, the weather was per- fect ; when he returned from his place of business, it wasn’t. So he took a hack and rode home. Arriving, the driver presented himself at the carriage door, without shoes or stockings, and with pants rolled up to the knees and (the water being some six or eight inches deep), ready to carry his passenger on his back through the flooded walk to the house. New Orleans, though, is a grand field for queer experiences, and a traveller's education can hardly be said to be complete without at least once win- tering there. At any rate, I am here fora winter to study up by experience beth the comforts and discomforts of this peculiar locality ; and as | know your readers will tolerate an occasional reference to the same, N.

B. Baasrer. October 14, 1490. 2 The New Egg Market. (From The Empire.) The egg producers of Canada do not ap- pear to be likely to lose anything by the McKinley tariff. The attempt to exclude our eggs from the United States has been met with characteristic Canadian energy by the opening of an export to Great Brit- ain. Shipments just made have brought excellent returns, and the steamship com- panies inform the Government that they will provide all the facilities for the safe transport of eggs across the Atlantic, at rates which compare most favorably with the freight on this class of farm produce from Canada to New York. Practically the difference in freight and time occupied in transport may be left out of.calculation in considering the relative profit of ex- porting to London or New York. The dif- ferences are very slight, and, with the es- tablishinent of fast steamship communica- tion with Britain, and the improvement in facilities and cheapness of carriage which a large and well-established trade will bring about, will wholly, or almost wholly, dis- appear. This being the case, the question of where our eggs should find their best market is simple enough. For some years past London has been, on the average, the best market, but the difficulty of divert- ing trade from an established channel to a wholly new course has deterred Canadians from taking advantage ot the superiority of the British market. In fact, few people thought about the matter. They might still continue to avoid the trouble necessi- tated by opening a new trade were it not that the McKinley tariff compels immediate action. The tariff will probably in this way prove of much benefit to the Do- minion, and not merely in regard to the egg export, but to several other important articles of Canadian production, which might find in Great Britain or in conti- nental Europe more profitable markets than they now have. At Smithfield market the quotations of eggs at the beginning of September were as high as 28 cents for new-laid and 22 cents for French firsts, a grade with which Canadian eggs, under proper conditions as to shipment, would readily rank. These prices were better than those obtaining in New York at the same time. A late number of the Mark Lane Express gives October prices as 24 cents for best French and 29 cents for fresh eggs; this is higher than similar grades command in New York. | Last win- ter the differences were more decidedly in favor of London. The truth is that of late years the price of eggs in the United States has fallen greatly. Last winter’s prices in New York were lower than those of the winter before; while the average price for the year ending Jane 31, 1889, according to the United States Statistical Abstract, was only 13.9 cents against 21 cents five years before. It is this decrease which explains the in- creasing import of United States eggs ‘into Canada at certain seasons of the year. In the financial year 1888-89, 411,331 dozen eggs were exported by the United States to Canada. Whenthe egg industry, which the United States farmers are very wisely cultivating as never before, increases a little more, instead of that country import- ing, it may have a considerable surplus to ship across the lines into the Dominion. ln Britain, on the other hand, the home supply is falling more and more behind the demand, and the economic conditions there are such that no reversal of this tendency need be expected. The increase in importation has been prodigious. In 1850 only 185,000,000 eggs were imported, and in 1860 only 167,500,000. In 1870 the figures bounded up to 430,750,000; while in 1880 they further advanced to 747,500,- 000, and last year were about 1,300,000, - 000. While the United States is now im- porting only 15,000,000 dozen eggs, or only three per cent. of its total supply, Great Britain is importing 110,000,000 dozen or about sixty per cent. of ita total consump. iion,.-- In view of all the facts it would appear that the duty of five cents per dozen levied by the United States against our eggs has but precipitated a change in our export, which the ordinary law of supply and de- mand would have compelled within a few years at most, with the United States lead- ing, instead of following, in the new trade, as must now be the case. It is not to be expected that the ores of the new market will be unattended wit some difficulties. There are prejudices to be overcome in regard to our eggs, and the mistakes of inexperience to be en- countered. But such difficulties pertain to the opening of any new trade. They were encountered when Canadian cheese was first placed on the British. market, But they prove only temporary. There is everything in the situation to encourage the hope that Canada will soon have an egg export to Great Britain twice as large as the export to the United States has been. 2+b«4- a Apvice to Moruers.—Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup has been used by mothers for children teething for over fifty years with perfect success It re- lieves the little sufferer at once; it produces natural quiet sleep by relievi e child from pain; and the little cherub awakes} so ** bright as a button.” It is very pleasant to taste.
