Incidentallv.

the bill does a good turn for the thrifty housewife. When she goes to market for a dozen eggs and is not satisfied with the size of the "hen fruit" counted out to her, she mav demand that it he put on the scales and if it fails to weigh up to the standard more eggs must be ndded. in direct violation of the mathematical declaration that 12 make one dozen. The power to regulate tho weight of hens' eggs is conferred by a provision of the bill enacting a substitute for the present law fixing weights and measures. Mr.
