The Egg in Mythology.

The egg Is mentioned in many of the al- legories scattered through the sacred books of the Brshmins. In one it is the female creator, who is first germ, then a drop of heavenly dew, pearl, and subsequently, an egg. In each of the many instances the egg is enveloped In seven coverings. which, breaking, become the seven upper and the seven lower worlds. Upon its di- vision into two the shell becomes the neay- en, and the contents of the egg the world, the yolk forming the dry land and the white the waters. Again yishnu issues from the egg with the sacred lotus in his hand, and another legend relates how Vinaia, dsush- ter of Dakshs and wife of Kssyps, one of the seven self creators of the earth, produced an egg from which was born Ga ruds, the vehicle of Vishnu. We read in the works of Wilson that Ca similar ac- count of the first aggregation of the ele- ments in the form of sn egg Is given in all the Indian Pursnss with the usual epithet Haima or Hirsnys, golden as it occurs in Manu " According 10 the Vishnu Pursns Intellect, the unmsnifested gross ele- ments inclusive, formed su egg, and the Lord of the Universe himself abided in it in the character of Brahms In that egg, O, Brahmsn, were the continents, snd seas and mountains, the planets snd divisions of the universe, the god, the demons and mankind"
 In the ordinances of the great Hindu lsw-giver, Msnu, we find constant refer ences to the initial egg. dis6sured by mod ern interpolation, 1t Is true but preserving much of the original spirit, Removing the darkness. the self existent Lord-i.

All sorts of whimsicsl shapes and curious colors csn be noted, many of which when held in the hand are unhandsome; yet when elevated to the post of honor prove very becoming; this provided that they bear the impress of an artists skilful hand.

This rrnr Weighed n Ton.

The labyrinthodon, huge creature re sembling toad or frog. and which lived ill the earlier periods of our planet's s history, has been found ill surprising state of preservation i'll the mari beds of Huezelweitz, Hungary. All species of this gigantic frog are now extinct and are known to the naturalists only through the investigations of the geoloSists, who have often found parts or entire fossils of the monster in strata of the triassic portion of the mesozoic period. South wick mentions it ill three line entry in his "Quizzism and Key" under the head A Frog as Large as an Ox," and in Barnett's theological Epochs" it is con sidered in a chapter on Huge Froglike Creatures of the Mesozoic Age"
 The specimen unearthed in the Hun garian mari bed Is entire with the excep- ton of the left forearm and the lower jaw. The skull measures IS inches be- tween the eye sockets and weighs, ex- elusive of the missing underjaw, 312 pounds. The bones which have been dis covered up to date (and there is still hopes of finding the missing parts), with the adhering matrix, weigh l ,S60 pounds, | almost a ton.-St. Louis Republic.

The Best Kind of Exercise

There is no single exercise which com pines so many health giving qualities as riding. It is peculiarly valuable to children. for it is the most certain and gentle developer of the back and stom- ach muscles and imparts a tone to the entire system that cannot possibly be attained in any other way. Even foot ball, the hardest of all games, falls short of having the same invigorating effect on the boy. If this be true for the boy-and such it is now generally admitted to be-how much more neces- sary is riding to the young girl who has no game but lawn tennis. which fails to exercise the most important parts of her body?
 Few boys and girls. and almost as few men and women, think twice of the val ue of different kinds of exercise to them. or would know much about it if they did think. Any exercise of course, mod erately taken, is better than none, but the exercise which acts upon arms and legs only is of not one-half the value of that which acts on the body, the chest, stomach and back. When, then, an ex- ercise is found that acts on all. its value is apparent without further argument. -Harper's Young People.

Birds Enjoy Shower Bath.

A friend reports pretty incident During the hot, dry weather the birds about her house were apparently much in need of bathing places, and the lady discovered that every day when she went out to water her flowers little bird lowered about as if he wanted something. Presently he revealed what he did want by getting under the sprink- ling of the water pot or beneath the dripping plants, and fiuffing his feathers in this shower bath just as he would in a pool, and plainly enjoying it in the highest degree. He began to watch for the daily coming of the lady to water her plants and gave himself up to his mt

Detecting A CuIprit.

The Rev. Joseph Haven. who preached in Rochester. N. H., during the last quarter of the last century. has been al- ways remembered for his genial spirit and his inexhaustible humor. One story told of him has many parallels, but it is quite as likely to be true in his case as in any.
 The boy had been guilty of some grave offense. and yet would not confess it.
 ''I can tell who did it. !" said the parson, and accordingly he called together all the boys suspected and explained to them that he had confined Il rooster under a kettle in darkened room. One after another they must pass in and touch the Kettle. When the guilty boy touched il. he might expect to hear the rooster crow.
 The lads filed in and out again and were matle to display their fingers. Al out those of ono lad were sooty. He, ths guilty one. had not ventured to toucf the telItaie kettls.-Youth's Companion

The Jury Suited tn. Lawyer.

\ Chicago attorney, somewhat noted for his sharp practice, sent his client one day to watch the case. W9d came to him that his case was next on the docket, and he hurried over to find the opposing counsel already beginning. In vain he looked for his client. He was nowhere to be seen. In vain he asked for delay but the court told him that the careless ness of client would not allow such a thing. At last he glanced into the jury box and saw his client there.
 The stupid man had thought he heard his name calfed and had marched in with the rest. The opposing counsel was so anxious to hurry the case along that he neglected to examine the jury See ing the thing was in his own hands, the Chicago attorney turned to the court.

No Borms ItalInn Counts.

American heiresses need have little fear of bogus Italian counts for the same reason that there is no imitation Italian wine-the real article is too cheap. The possession of a title in Palermo gives nothing great of itself. but its indispen- sable accompaniment is n carriage, horses and driver in livery. To maintain these on an income of next to nothing a year it is often necessary to eat macaroni and thick soup for a regular diet, do n great part of ones homework in gloomy, faded apartments and sit about in old clothes all day long to await the magic lOur of 8 D. m.

sepsIbre Treatment of corna.

Light shoes, short shoes and clumsy shoes produce corns by compressing, cramping Id rubbing against the joints. A great many of these pedal blemishes are hereditary. In any case it is good plan to suppress them. Every medicine merchant has a variety of "cures," and nearly all give temporary relief. A poultice made of vinegar soaked bread crumbs will cure a little corn in one night. It is not advisable to let corn grow. Either rub down the formation with pnmice stone or remove 1t with a knife. A little opposition will discour- Sge it, provided sensible shoes are worn. In pedicuring. as in manicuring, the feet should be soaked in hot water and as much of the waste material brushed and rubbed off as possible. s.--New York World.

His Plnintive Plea.

He had loved her very tenderly and for a long time, but she had scorned him. He was no worm either, for he would have turned when trod upon, but she rocked not this. It was enough for her that she did not care for him. This ks usually enough for any woman; also for any man when the boot is on the other foot, for of such is the kingdom of Cupid.
 His condition had at last become un- bearable to him, and he resolved to win all or lose all. It was late one evening when the fateful moment came.
 Will you marry mel" he asked her in pain, untrimmed English, for he could trust himself to nothing in the orna- mental line,
 She spurned him scornfully.
 'No!" she replied, with sarcastic, hate ful, cruel emphasis, "NoI"
 The word pierced the heart in his bos- om. His lips quivered, and at first he could not speak.
 Have you no more to say?" he asked at last plaintively.
 "No, sir" she replied, What more could say:"
 Again he shrank at the cruel thrust.
 II didn't know" he murmured tremu- Iously, but think you might have said No, thank you
 Then he fled away so weary with dis asters, trigged with fortune. that he would set his life on any chance to mend it or be rid of it.-Detroit Free Press

Story of Their Use Related by the Big
 Hairy Man From the Prairios-
 "The way you Chicago people look at things reminds me of my old frisnd, Colonel John Phillips"
 The speaker was n large, hairy man, with a big slouch hat and a voice evil Gently better adapted to the acoustic properties of the prairie than the smok- ing room. He appeared to realize this as he glanced around and saw every man ill the room looking toward him, some smiling, some scowling.
 "Tell us about your friend, the colo nel," suggested real estate agent who had the hairy giant on the string for big cash trade.
 Why" continued the big man with the prairie voice, Phillips saw every thing that belonged to him big and ev- erything belonging to me smalr'-
 That's human nature" the agent was suggesting, but the prairie man in terrupted with:
 No, 'twan't no human nature. Twas spectacles! He got 'em made in this town. I believe you people all wear 'em too"
 What peculiar properties did your friends spectacles poSsess:" asked a GU rious listener.
 "Just as I've said. They made his property loom up in regular Chicago l Worlds fair fashion, but squashed other ! peoples stuff worse'n Zimri Dwiggins bank"-
 How could he do this?" Why, the blamed lenses worked on an axis and showed things telescope fash | ion, you know. S'pose there was horse 1 trade up; he'd let you look at your own | horse through the ordinary little end of | his glasses, but when you came to look at his he'd get at his specks again under some pretext-just Tipping 'em over the magnifying way-and you'd see mag nificent animal. It was the same way with houses, tracts of land, wheatfelds, | changing money-anything. Once you looked through his glasses at anything you were his victim. for you felt as ii you couldn't live until you'd traded just as Phillips wanted you to. But he met his reward. He tried bluff game or big Buffalo Jones of Arizona, to whom he had by that spectacled jugglery sold 100 jackass rabbits for burrows, and looked at big Jones' six gun through the little end of his glasses, trying to put him down small, you know. But, alas it didn't work!'
 What happencd?" asked the agent.
 Big Jones gun went off repeatedly just us Colonel Phillips was adjusting his glasses. It was as well perhaps, continued the prairie man, dropping hi voice so low that the believing of tug in the river and lake could again b, heard, flor my friend had acquiret such habit of trying to talk up to tn, magnifying side of these glasses that hi long enjoyed reputation for veracit, was entirely spilled.
