shapes of Eggs.

Various attempts have been made tc
account for the diversity in shape seen
in eggs. A recent study convinces DIR,
Nicolsky that the differences may be all
traced to gravity, and he finds his idea
confirmed by all the eggs in the ZOO
logical collection of the St. Petersburg
university. He supposes that pressure
by the sides of the ovary tends to elon-
gate the egg before the shell has hard
ened. In birds which keep vertical
position while at rest, as do the falcon
and the owl, the soft egg is made short
by the action of the weight of the
body against the ovarian pressure
while in birds that, like the grebe, arc
nearly always swimming, the egg is
heightened because the birds weight
acts with the compression by the
ovary. The egg is made more pointed
at one end than at the other in birds
that. like the guillemot. are frequent
ly changing their position--sometime:
swimming and diving, sometime:
perching on the rocks, etc.-ScientifiC

A sample of average police intelli-

/ the other afternoon at the Cottage

A neatly dressed young lady, while
/ threading her way through the crowd
on the corner of Thirtieth street. had
her pocket picked of purse and IA
small gold watch The thief, a nattily
dressed little fellow, was caught in the
act by a policeman, who bounced upon
him much as u spider does upon a fly.
He was bad thief. lie had a bad
eye. bad cut to his trousers. and q
bad-lOoking revolver was taken from
/ him when searched. He was bundled
into the patrol wagon and the young
woman was informed that she could
have her watch back but the purse and
its contents would be held as evidence.

THAT will be kind of him, won't it?''
"Yes'm.' replied the second police
man, as he SHE'D himself closer to the

And when last seen the young lady
was still standing at Thirtieth street

Some celebrated man. who saw a lit

vented many man acting like a hero.'
This unworthy fear. which consists
largely of self-eonceit and self-con-
seriousness. is the great vice to he elm
mated in growing from the heart, out.
There is nothing but love which can
utterly overpower il. II is that love
which is a love TO God an : a love to our

out selfconscious fear as well as every
other oaser thing. Where love grows
perfect there IS room for nothing else.

Queens of the Worlds Fair.

The Columbian Exposition is golden
prophecy of woman's future. By the
appointment of the board of lady man
ayers with full control to labor as
seemed to them best, the government
of the United States gave its first seal
to woman's unrestricted labor. Does
not this portend the speedy removal
of all the shaclxles which have hith-
erto hampered her endeavors? The
platform of the Woman's building on
that opening day, with the representa-
tives from many foreign lands and the
hundred members of the home board
gathered from the different states and
territories, typifed the closer union ir
which hcncefOrth all leaders will join
the furtherance of every good cause.
The ringing words spoken in behalf of
fair play for all classes will go echoing
round the world until they awaken res
olutions strong enough to secure the
demand. As the browning touch of all,
