The Egg Market in England 4 1 



The brachycephalic have heavier brains than the dolichoce- 

 phalic. 



In Hottentots both indices, breadth and height, are low. 



The following may be mentioned as examples of remarkably 

 broad heads (wide foreheads), in association with genius : 

 Shakespeare, Beranger, Mirabeau, Peacock (the novelist), 

 Miss Austen, Blackmore (" Lorna Doone "), Tennyson, 

 Erskine. 



The following had heads both tall and broad : Scott, 

 Goethe, Cervantes, Ambrose Pare, John Foster, Father Paul, 

 Galileo, Michael Angelo, Machiavelli, Benjamin West. 



We shall be indebted to any of our readers who may direct 

 our attention to other well-marked examples. 



The following afford instances of remarkably tall heads : 

 Motley (the historian of the Netherlands), Remin (engineer), 

 Richard Roberts (engineer). 



The following had remarkably long faces : Francis I., Inigo 

 Jones, George Eliot (Miss Evans), Savonorola. 



THE EGG MARKET IN ENGLAND. 



A wholesale dealer gives us the following items as to 

 the consumption of eggs in London : When eggs are 16 for 

 a shilling the sale amongst the working classes is enormous. 

 When they are 12 a shilling it falls at once 40 per cent., and 

 when only 8 it drops very low. The bulk of London eggs 

 are imported ; Italy supplies many, France many, and some 

 even come from Turkey. They will travel from Trebizond 

 and be perfectly fresh when they arrive in London. We are 

 assured that most of the new-laid eggs consumed in Haslemere 

 come from Italy, and this at all periods of the year. Our 

 English housewives are not clever at preserving eggs, and the 

 witty classification of eggs into new-laid eggs, fresh eggs, and 

 eggs, is but too often illustrated.
