Difference In Errs.

In form and general aspect the differ
ence among birds eggs is endless. Some
are elongated, some are spherical, some
are dull IN the surface, some are polished,
some arc dark and others gray OF white,
others very bright. The shape of eggs
offers as much diversity as their size and
weight. They may be thrown, however,
into six different or typical forms-the
cylindrical, the oval, the spherical, the
ovicular, %oviconical and the elliptic. The
ovicular form of eggs belongs to the Pas
serH and Galliacn, the ovcid to the IA
pacious birds and the Palmipcdes, the
conical to the wading birds and some
P%alplipedes, the short to some game and
many stilted birds and the spherical to
nocturnalbird of prey and the kingfishcr
If a farmer has a flock of 100 hens they
produce in egg shells about 1871 pounds of
chalk annually; and yet not u pound of
tho substance, or perhaps not even an
ounce, exists around tho farm house
within the circuit of their feeding
grounds. . The materials OF their manu-
facturc are found in the food consumed
and in the sand, pebble stones, brick
dust, bits of bones, ETC., which hens and
other birds are continually picking from
the earth. The instinct is keen for these
apparently nutritious and refractory
substances, and they are dcvoured with
as eager a relish as the cereal grains or
insects. If hens are confined to barns or
outbuildings it is obvious that the egg
producing machinery cannot be kept
long in action unless the materials for
the shell are supplied in ample album
dance.-Popular Science.

The Sin of Living.

Tho emperor of Russia, when upon a
tour of inspection i'll tho provinces,
passed tho night in tho simple hut of the
toll taker. Before retiring he was
pleased, as the head of the church, to
see the old man take up his Bible and
read II chapter. "Do you read often,
my sonY' he asked. "Yes, Your males.
ty, every day" GLOW much of the
Bible have you read, my SOM Dur.
ing the past year the Old Testament and
part of Matthew, your majesty"
Thinking to reward him, the ear
placed 500 rubles between the leaves of
the Bookof Mark on the following morn
ing, unknown to the toll keeper, whom
lie bado farewell. Several months
passed away and the emperor returned,
upon a second tour, to the toll takers
hut. Taking the Bible i'll his hands lie
was surprised to find the 500 rublcs in
tact. Again intcrrogating tho toll keep
er as to his diligence in reading he re-
ceived an affirmative answer and the
statement that he had finished the chap
tcrs of Luke.
Lying, my son, is q great SIM re-
piled his majesty; give me the Bible
till l sce." Opening the book he pointed
to tho money, which the mar had not
seen. Thou hast not sought the king
dom of God, my sou. AS punishment,
thou shalt also lose thy earthly reward"
And he placed the rublcs in his pocket,
TO distribute afterward among the neigh
boring poor.-London Standard.

Somc Rudo Proverbs,

A contributor to The Freisinnige lei
tung has collected from all the foremost
nations Of the world a heap of proverbs
OF men concerning women" 1t appears
from them tina. tho southern people, who
count themselves the most chivalrous
and gallant toward the ladies, are more
coarse and insulting in their proverbs
than the colder northerners. Although
the Germans, the Scandinavians and the
English are not complimentary to wo-
men II their proverbs, they ri "rarely
lxutal."
The Frenchman says: "A man who
has n wife has Il plague" "a man made
of straw is worth double as much as q
woman made of gold" The Spaniard
says: "a woman's advice is never of II
use, but unless you follow it she will rail
at you as a fool" BE on your guard
against a bad woman, but do not put
your trust in a good woman" There
is only one bad woman. but every hus-
band believes lie possesses her" The
Italians say: "If u man loses his wife and
a %farthing, he has only lost n farthing."
The chief failings of the sex, according
to a whole host of English and German
proverbs, arc changeableness and talka-
%tivcness, the former of which is equally
true of men and the latter not disagreea-
BILE to men in the Latin nations.
The charge that "WomGA's minds and
April winds often change,"an and the state
ment that "a woman's strength lies in
her tongue appear to be accepted in
various readings throughout northern
Europe. The specimen of Il Yankee
proverb is characteristic: "Women can
keep a secret, but it takes a big crowded.
them to do it." The Chinese say that
"a wonan's tongue is her sword" but
''she never lets it grow rusty."-Ncw

The STOMACH rs IA Discrimination.

Said all cX-p1ison official: "They have a
new and novel method of maintaining dis
cipline in the state prison at Folsom. Cal,
and rs G as l can learn it is proving a
great success. They have no dungeons
Or dark cells i'll the prison, corporal
punishment is unheard of, tying up by
the thumbs is evc permitted; in short,
none of the old modes of punishment are
recognized in this institution. The sys-
TEN in vogue is this: When a new priso-
her is received he is informed that they
have three different bills of fare in the
prison, and that it is optional with each
mar as to how we'll he lives. If he is in
dustrious, orderly, well behaved, and in
all things conforming strictly to the
rules of tho prison, he is served with cx-
cellent food nicely cooked.
"He can have chops, steaks, eggs, tea
and coffee, milk, white bread, ETC.; if he
is only fairly we'll behaved and does not
do his allotted task properly, is inclined
to growl and grumblc at the regulations
of tho institution, he is given ordinary
prison fare, mush and molasses, soup,
corn bread, etc.; and if ho is ugly and
insubordinate he is permitted to feast on
unlimited quantities Of cold water and a
rather small allowance of bread. You
can have no idea how hard the convicts
try to enter the first class. and once there
it's very seldom that II of them has to
be sent back to a lower class. thus going
to prove the truth Of the old theory that
are most easily reached through
their stomachs."-San Francisco Paper.

Danger In CelIuloid.

Umbrella and cane handles, collars.
cuffs, and scores of other articles of II
venience, utility and oven elegance,
manufactured from cclluloid, in daily
Use by large numbers of the people.
The question is asked, ''AIav they be
safely uscd?' Cclluloid is made from
gun cotton, the powerful and violent cx-
plosivc compound. Gun cotton is made
by saturating absorbent paper with a
mixture of two parts of nitric acid and
five parts of sulphuric acid. The ccllu-
lose of the paper, derived from the cell
lular tissue of the cotton in common use,
is changed by the combination and be-
comes gun cotton. To make celluloid,
the excess of acid is washed out by the
free use of water, and by pressure care
fully applied. After the removal of all
uncombined acid, it is reduced to a no.
mogeneous pulpy mass, strained until it
becomes nearly dry, and is then mixed
with about one-third of its weight of
gum camphor.
These materials are mixed as uniform
ly as possible by careful manipulation
with wooden Instruments, and then by
grinding. The pulp which is turned out
by grinding is spread out and reduced to
slabs of various thicknesses and rolled
between steam heated rollers, and then
becomes moderately elastic i'll strips Of
medium thickness. In this form it is
worked up into the various articles
which are offered for sale and use. AL
though gun cotton is easily %nlarufact-
ured, its manufacture for experiment or
for general use isnot recommended; and,
although celluloid articles may be safely
used with ordinary care, a bonfire of
such articles for amusement is not rec
commended. No injuries from such use
have been reported. A word to the wise,
however, suflices.-American Analyst.
The Dickinson press., 1889-08-24
Keeping at 1t,

1t is Il great mistake to suppose that
tho best work of the world is done by
peopleo of great strength and great oppor-
tunities. 1t is unquestionably an advan-
tage to have both these things, but
neither of them is a necessity to the man
who has the spirit and the pluck to
achieve great results. Some of the
greatest work of our time has been done
by men of physical fecblcness. No man
has left a more distinct impression of
himself on this generation than Charles
Darwin, and there have been few men
who have had to struggle against such
p%rostrating i'll health.
Darwin was rarely able to work long
at a time. He accomplished his great
work by having asingle aim, and putting
every ounce of his force and every hour
of his time into the task which lie had
set before him. He never scattered his
energy, he wasted all hour, and
by steadily keeping at it, i'll spite of con
tinual ill health aud of long intervals of
semi-invalidism, he did a great work,
and has left the impression upon the
world of q man of extraordinary energy
and working capacity. Success is rarely
q matter of accident, always a matter of
character. The reason why so many
men fail is that so few are willing to a
the price of self denial and hard work
which success eXacts. christian Union.

To Induce Sleep,

Among the many recipes that have
been given for overcoming wakefulness
is IL devised by a Mr.. Gardner, and
formerly celebrated in England, but now
almost forgotten. 1t is to lie on the right
side, with the head SO placed on the pill
low that the neck shall be straight; keep
ing the lips closed tightly, a rather full
inspiration is to be taken through the
nostrils, and the lungs then left to their
own action. The person now imagines
that he sees the breath streaming in and
out of his nostrils, and confines his atten-
ton to this idea. If properly carried out
this method is said to DO infallible.
Counting and repeating poetry are other
