Palma Christi and Mosquitses.

A Bombay newspaper calls atten-
tion to the virtues OF the cass0r oil
plant as means of ofprotection against
mosquitoes. In Egypt it is planted
about houses to drive the insects
away. In towns better plan is to
have the young plants in pots, and
bring them into the house for day
or two alta time, but they must not
be kept too long in the shade, for the
Palma Christi is a sun-loving plant.
A writer is cited as saying that the
mosquito is killed by poison that
they find on the lower. side Of the
leaf, but it is stated that, If q dozen
leaves are placed about the room that
swarms with mosquitoes, they will
disappear without leaving any dead
ones lying about. This statement Is
probably no more trustworthy than
the ones so often repeated, that cas-
tor beans or plants will keep away

PATIENCE.

Be patient easy words TO speak
While plenty fills the cup of life,
While health brings roses to the cheek,
And far removed are care and strife.
Falling so glibly from the tongue
Of those 4 often think of this
Whom suffering has never wrung,
Who scarcely know what patience is.
Be patient when the suff 'rer lies
PROSTATE beneath some fell disease,
And longs, through torturing agonies,
Only for one short hour Of ease.
BE patient when the weary brain
Is racked with thought and anxious care
And troubles in an endless trait
Seem almost more than it can bear.
To feel the torture of delay,
The agony Of hope deferred;
To labor still from day to day,
The prize unwon, the prayer unheard.
And still to hope, and strive and wait
The due reward of fortunes kiss;
This is to almost conquer fate,
This is to learn what patience is.
Despair not though the clouds are dark
And storm and danger veil the sky
Let fate and courage guide thy bark,
The storm will pass, the port is nigh.
BE patient, and the tide will turn,
Shadows will fee before the sun;
These are the hopes that live and burn
To light us till our work is done.

"We come now" said Mr.. J. c.
Stephens at his auction rooms in
King street, Covent garden, ito the
egg Of the aepyornis maximus, the
biggest bird livingor extinct. It has
been extinct for some time, and only
two Of it's bones have been found. Ac-
cording to the catalogue the bird was
more than ten feet high and was
fightless.
should think so said a prospec-
tive egg buyer.
1T would seem to me,"' said Mr..
Stephens, shat the bird that laid
this egg must have been something
like thirty feet high-about as high
as house. You will see by the cata-
logue that it measures thirty-four and
a quarter inches in its longest cir.
cumference, and twenty-eight inches
in girth. This egg is several inches
larger than the egg we sold,last year.
1t is, OF course, a great rarity, 'and
not more than thirty Of these eggs are
known.
This, / think, is the finest egg Of
the lot. 1t should be remembered
that there are sixty known eggs OF
the great ank, and they sell for a
couple of hundred guineas each. I
don't mean IT, say that this egg should
bring as great ank's egg, but we
sold one not SO good as this last year
for seventy ginueas."
The egg was passing from hand to
hand In wooden box, while the auc-
ttoncer was speaking. 1t looked too
large for an egg, thOugh:in other re-
spects it seemed natural enough. 1t
wasnot difficult to understand how
bird that had laid such an egg had
become extinct. The strain must
have been equal to the horsepower Of
an Atlantic liner and the cackle that
followed the arrival Of the egg must
have made the welkin ring until its
head ached.
The egg is of a brownish gray color
and sounds like porcelain when 1t is
drummed on with the knuckles. The
bird that was accustomed to lay this
sort OF egg lived, it is said, in NADIA.
gascar, and buried its egg in the
sand. 1t is only possible to find the
egg by digging in the sand and more
eggs may yet be found, as good deal
OF the seashore Of Madagascar has not
been dug up yet.
The egg was finally sold for sixty
seven gulneas.

The longest telephone circuit in the
world is now projected by the Auto
matte Telephone and Electric Compa-
ny, OF Canada, which intends to lay a
line of copper wires on the metallic
circuit plan from Halifax, N. s., to
Vancouver. This is a distance of g.
500 miles. Copper is by far the best
conductor, and electricians have so
far advanced their methods that they
can calculate to nicely what is re-
quired. The circuit will of course be
in sections, and be available for COM
munication to many immediate
points, 1t is a great and wonderful
experiment, which the great scientific
world will watch with great interest.
If 1t proves a success there is no rea-
son why the instrument cannot be
used to transmit speech across the

II believe that 1t is a formative
state. The people not only there,
but in all sections OF the country, are
doing more thinking upon this sub
ject than ever before. Eighteen
months ago the South was strongly
in favor of free coinage, but it is not
so to-day. Sentiment Is changing.

say 1t is now about half and half.

gained ground very rapidly. Person
