How would any Of your readers, asks
a writer for young folks in st. Nicholas
Magazine, like an egg as big as water
melon served for breakfast on Easter
morning? You might have seen just
such an egg if you had lived in Madagas-
car hundreds of years ago, when the
AepyorniS lived.
Why, you could have given an egg
breakfast to seventy persons, and, at the
rate of two of our domestic hens eggs to
each person. would have had plenty. just
think of taking the contents of 40 of
our hens eggs and putting them into one
egg shell.
The bird that laid this enormous egg
is known as the Aepyorns maximus, and
it was the largest bird ever known to
exist 1t was first cousin to the ostrich,
although a much larger bird, towering
above the tallest giraffe.
From the circumstances under which
the first egg was found, it was hoped the
bird might still be living, but only the
incomplete skeleton of it and fragments
of other eggs were ever discovered
There is but one complete egg of this
giant bird to be seen in the civilized
world at present, and it is cracked in
several places. 1t is in the possession of
the French Government, and is kept in
the Jardin des Plantes in Paris.

In the gray Of Easter ever

When the light begins to fade,
Fly two angels out Of Heaven,
Yelled in vesper shade.
And they watch by those who sleep,
AS they watched Immanuel's rest,
And they comfort all who weep,
AS they soothed sad Mary's breast.
Soft they whisper through the night,
"Wait until the morning light!
From your sorrow look away
To the breaking Of the day.n

NEWS FROM STAR.

The second crop of clover is being
harvested, and the third crop of alfalfa
is ready.
Recently Milton Burns, who lives at
Five Mile, lost his new barn, hay and
grain by fire. Cause unknown.
Mr.. Alfred Mitchell who about three
months ago lost his house by fire, is
now living in his new residence.
The fruit crop about here is abund-
ant, peaches, plums and prunes very
heavily loaded in many instances.
DR.. q. w. Hall has moved into his
new residence and expects e'er long to
put in a small stock Of drugs. AS he
is a regularly graduated physician, we
trust he will prove himself to be all
that can be easonably expected in
doctor. For his short residence here
he is said to be doing well.
The temperance loving people are
rejoicing over the closing of the saloon
which occurred some time last week
not through any direct effort of the
anti-salOOn element-but little quar-
rel or trouble among the saloon ele-
ment. There is, however, a w. c. Il. u.
organization here which meets once a
week, on Saturdays, at 3p. M, which
is usually we'll attended and has an &C.
tive membership.
Star is becoming a little hopeful as to
its future since the contract was let for
the construction of bridge over Boise
river near there. Land is held at a
higher price and there is something of
q stir as to building and improving.
New bridges are being built ON the
road leading to the river and l notice
the moving and remodeling of one
building and the erection of another
now going on, and talk of others.

PARMA LOCALS,
Parma expects u boom soon.

Rev. w. J. Boone came down last
Sabbath and gave us good, practical
sermon: we only wish that he would
come ottener.
The threshing season is almost over
the harvest is good for the amount
sown, but why are our farmers raising
so little grain?
Our bitches now have supply of
water, for the first time this summer.
Is Boise river failing. or is some one
acting the "shote" with the water?
The Farmers alliance at the Tucker
school house has about TWENTY-FIVE
members. 1t is in thriving condition.
Watch-democrats and republicans.
The Parma people have repainted
their school house, attached a porch in
front and made some new desks of the
very best pine to he had in the market:
in fact they have fitted their school
house to suit the taste of the most fas-
tidi0us.
We have watched the progress made
toward the building of a college in
Caldwell. Now that the announce
ments have been issued there seems to
no doubt as to the success of the enter
prise. We hope Caldwell and the coun-
try around, as well, will be thoroughly
alive to the benefits deriving from the
existence of such an institution.
