Eggs are scarce this season, com
pared with the corresponding period
OF last year, and prices are higher
everywhere. The operators of incu-
bators find great difficulty in securing
eggs that give good matches, and offer
extra prices for eggs from choice
stock. Artificial incubation is being
conducted new on larger scale than
at any previous time.

Western spoltsmen complain that
wild ducks are becoming scarce in
many sections and attribute their
scarcity to the use of duck eggs in
making new glue that is manufact-
ured in Canada. Their eggs having
become valuable, Canadian hunters
despoil their nests and thus materially
reduce the supply of Young ducks.

immense balloon. and then the people
on the hill tops and highlands felt
sharp shock of the ground and rocks be-
meath them, and heard the sound of
terrible but momentary grinding crush. !
As the cloud began to settle, it was
borne out to sea by the wind, and then it
was revealed that the Notifications of
Caerdaff had disappeared.
In ten minutes there was another
smoke signal. and great cloud over the
castellated structure on the other side of
the bay The cloud passed away, leav-
ing vacant space on the other side of
the bay.
The second shock sent panic through
the crowd of spectators. The next earth
quake bomb might strike among them.
Down the eastern slopes ran hundreds of
them, leaving only few of the bravest
civilians, the reporters of the press, and
the naval and military men.
The next motor bomb descended into
the fishing village, the comminuted par
ticles of which, being mostly of light
material, foated far out to sea.
The detachment of artillerists who had
been deputed to man the guns on the
heights which commanded the bay, had
been ordered to fall back to the noun
tains as soon as it had been seen that it
was not the intention Of the repeller to
send boats on shore The most courage
Gus OF the spectators trembled little
when the fourth bomb was discharged,
for it came farther inland, and struck
the height on which the battery had
been placed, removing all vestiges Of the
guns, caissons. and the ledge of rock on
which they had stood.

Beecher's Country Place.

Boscobel, the country place of the late
Henry Ward Beecher at Peekskill on the
Hudson, has been sold to Mr.. Butler, Of
New York, for $500 The house cost
Mr.. Beecher $4,000, and he is said to
have spent 100000 on the grounds The
larger part of this sum was spent on
trees. Mr.. Beecher planted over 5000,
including every variety native to the
temperate zone. The whole place was
subsoiled and drained. and his trees,
which protected his garden from the
northwest winds, enabled him to have
fruits and vegetables two or three weeks
ahead of his neighbors Harper's Bazaar.

No. 425.-The Unfair Division.

A gentleman rented farm and contracted
to give to his landlord two-ffths of the prod

corn the tenant used forty five bushels.
When the general division was made, it was
proposed to give to the landlord eighteen
bushels from the heap, in lieu of his share of
the forty-five bushels which the tenant had
used, and then to begin and divide the re-
mainder as though none had been used

BOMBS.

BOMBS.
The motor bombs which the repeller
was now discharging were of the largest
size and greatest power, and dozen
more of them were discharged at inter-
walls of few minutes. The promontory
on which the Notifications had stood
was annihilated, and the waters of the
bay swept over it's foundations. Soon
afterward the head of the bay seemed
madly rushing out to sea, but quickly
surged back to fill the chasm which
yawned at the spot where the village
had been
The dense clouds were now upheaved
at such short intervals that the scene of
devastation was completely shut out
from the observers on the hills, but every
few minutes they felt a sickening shock,
and heard a momentary and horrible
crash and hiss which seemed to fill all
the air. The instantaneous motor bombs
were tearing up the seaboard. and grind
ing it to atoms.
1t was not yet noon when the bonn
bardment ceased. No more puffs of
black smoke came up from the distant
repeller, and the vast spreading mass of
clouds moved seaward, dropping down
upon st. Georges channel in rain Of
stone dust. Then the repeller steamed
shoreward. and when she was within
three or four miles Of the coast she ran
up large white flag in token that her
task was ended.
This sign that the bombardment had
ceased was accepted in good faith, and
as some of the military and naval men
had carefully noted that each puff from

The British ministry was now the
calmest body of men in Europe. The
great opposition storm had died away;
the great war storm had ceased. and the
wisest British statesmen saw the unmis-
taxable path of national policy lying
plain and open before them. There was
no longer time for arguments and strug-
giles with opponents or enemies internal
or external. There was even no longer
time for the discussion of measures 1t
was the time for the adoption of a meas
ure which indicated itself, and which did
not need discussion.

which men wandered slowly and eau

amazement and awe. There were no
longer promontories jutting out into the

terraces rising inland. In vast plain,
shaven and shorn down to common
level of SCARED and pallid rock, there
lay an immense chasm two miles and
half long, half mile wide, and so deep.
