London ia about to try penguins' eggs as a new-breakfast dainty. The first consignment of theso eggs has just been received from Capo Colony. Sixpence each will bo chargcd for the eggs, 4800 of which havo been placed on the market. Mr. C. du I'. Chiappinj, tho Cape Government's Trades Commissioner, has been largely instrumental in introducing penguins' eggs to Groat Britain. Tho eggs are obtained from the islands surrounding tho south-onst coast of Africa, chieilv from Jutton Island, Dassen Island, and. Malgasson Island. The industry of collecting and selling tho eggs is owned and controlled by the Government of Capo Colony, and in Capetown tho eggs aro moro generally eaten than hens' eggs. The penguin's egg is nearly twice tho size of the avorago hon's egg. Tho shell is puro white, while tho only peculiarity of tho "meat" of the egg is that the "white" is a bright seagreon colour. Tho yolk is large, and a rich yellow in colour. Tho eggs aro slightly "fishy" in taste. Wo wish to inform vote-desiring ladies that according to tho highest traditions and religion of our people it becomes woman to oo quiet and obedient, and to mind her own affairs. Tho woman who calls herself a South African aiid agitatds for female suffrage is absolutely un-Afric^n.—"Diamond Fields Advertiser," Kimberley.
