brought to the house an egg which a fe.
male ostrich had courteously laid for the
occasion. The triumph of the
feast was an ostrich egg. For whole
hour it was boiled, and although there
were some misgiving that another half
hours boiling would have improve it,
hunger and curiosity could no longer be
restrained. The shell was broken, and
it may readily be believed that as the
three-pound hard boiled egg lay upon the
plate it was an object of interest from its
very novelty. But aside from its size
there was nothing peculiar about it. The

and had flavor peculiar to itself. But
it was immense! As it takes twenty
eight hen eggs to equal in weight the
ostrich egg which was cooked, it was
evident that the host knew what he was
about in cooking only one. There was
enough and to spare; and before leaving
the table the party unanimously resolved
that, having partaken OF ostrich egg, we
pronounced it good.
