A PETRIFIED EGG.

Puzzle for Scientists Found o. =
Tennessee Farm.
Quite a curiosity is on exhibition at
the cigar stand of Dawson & Burch,
on Cedar street. If the curiosity is not
a petrifed egg, then nature can give
the fowl creation cards and spades
In the art Of egg manufacture. The
freak is Of perfect oval shape, with
both ends very smoothly clipped off.
A farmer living on Paradise Ridge
picked it up in field one day and
started to throw it, when its unusual
weight attracted his attention. Stoop-
ing, he picked up rock and struck the
peculiar object sharp blow near it's
middle. The exterior shell cracked and
three pieces shelled off, revealing about
half of perfectly rounded object nest
led away in the remaining portion OF
the she'll This under sphere is of
pinkish hue, and Is very granular In
its composition, something like sand
stone. The first thing a person would
think of on beholding it would be the
yellow of an egg, and the more he
looked the more thoroughly he would
become convinced that that was what
it was The concave portion of the
broken shell fit back perfectly about
the interior sphere. The shells ex-
terror is also granular, though perfectly
uniform. 1t is about one-quarter of
an inch thick, and Immediately beneath
the granular exterior is Of a drab color,
resembling very much in composition
lava or phosphate rock. A close In
spection OF the broken edges Of the
shell shows a very thin exterior shell
Of about the thickness Of an egg shell.
In fact the entire effect produced is
the same rs that obtained by taking
a hard-boiled hen egg and cracking the
shell, part n section Of it, from the
yellow, leaving the sphere nestled in
the remaining portion of the she'll
The petrified egg-for that is undoubt-
eddy what the freak is-weighs about
half pound and is about the size of
large goose egg, perhaps larger. It
Is causing no little interest and wonder
ment among those who see it.--NasE,

HER EYES NOT ooop.
But She CouId Tell Honest People
Across the street.

AGEBbe hMG SAhGGG
One OF the smartest, shrewdest bust
ness women In New York able to push
her trade at q minimum of effort, IL the
old newspaper woman at the corner Of
Forty-second street and Seventh aven-
ne, and the thriving stand To- situated
at the Seventh avenue corner.
1t is a bleak unprotected corner, and
the old woman finding 1t too exposed.
has taken her stool under the shelter of
an opposite Broadway store. This is
far enough off not to know where to
look for her. IL needs be, and affords an
apparently good opportunity for dishon-
persons to cheat, yet the old woman
never loses q cent. She has learned
from her distant niche to size people up
pretty well. and Is on hand pretty
promptly IL she suspects unfair play.
A lady last Sunday wanted to buy
q paper, and had nothing less than 25c.
Looking up and down and around
about, and seeing nobody In charge Of
the stand, she decided after some mo-
ments' waiting that she would have to
let the paper 60. As she turned away
without 1t she heard loud call from
the cubby hole niche at the opposite
corner, and saw the old woman bid
ding her In pantomine to take the paper
along. In pantomime also she replied
indicating that she couldn't as she had't
got the money. Then the old woman
hobbled forward In haste and began to
give the conscientious lady a good
sound rating.
"Ain't you foolish" she said, land
bothersome to bring me over here when
you might have just as well take that
paper along"
But had no change" said the lady.
We'll, what Of thatT' Couldn't you
leave 1t the next time yau were pass

But, I'm stranger. Why should
you trust me to do any such thingT'
That's all right / know why. Don't
you think can tell honest folks from
over there? know the other kind, too,
right quick. Next time pick up your
paper and pay whenever you come past
again. Don't drag me over here for
nothing. It's enough, with my rheuma-
tism, to scramble over here after the
cheats. New York Herald.

The First Marital Kix..

If. as seems to be the case, 1t is to be
considered the correct thing for bride
and bridegroom to exchange their first
marital kiss at the altar, it would be a
wise thing to announce the fact
through the papers beforehand, along
with the number Of attendants, list of
presents &c. That would at least pre-
pare the wedding friends, for this very
beautiful observance A largely at
tended wedding last week, when the
bridegroom at the conclusion of the
ceremony kissed the bride, from all
quarters of the crowded church came a
smoker, which was the more surprising
on account Of the weN-bred looks of
the gathering. On another occasion the
bride herself was taken by surprise and
started back in alarm when her newly
made husband wished to enter upon his
lately acquired privileges on the spot

Relics Of a Southern Boom.

One Of the relics of the late southern
boom can be found in the Shenandoah
Valley Of Virginia. 1t is a ten-acre corn
field, in the midst of which is a large
brick block and several electric light
poles. 1t was formerly a 300-acre farm,
and the entire tract was purchased By
spectators for the purpose of building
a town there. At the sale the farmer
who sold the land in the first place be-
came so excited that he bought in lots
for the entire amount of his purchase
money. Then he built the block and
became a merchant, using all his avail
able funds. The town was a failure

stead Of a 300-acre farm, with money In
bank. the old man has a ten-acre trace

Women Guides I'm London.

In London they say that the Lady
guide has come to stay. She supplies
want-not only one, but several Peo-
pie find her useful. They ask her to
meet their children at stations, escort
them to dentists and support them
when there. They beg her to recon-
mend them to dressmaKers, as Wei as
to take their country cousins for an
instructive tour Of the sights The
lady guide Is the woman to take the
domestic help at a crisis, and as In the
turmoil of London life there are many
crises, there are now, 1t is delightful
to learn, many guides. There are 80
many guides, indeed, and so many per-
sons asking for them, that West end
branch Of the Office has been opened
at los Regent street The opening
was attended by a little ceremony.
Countess Grossvenor gracefully played
the part Of leading lady on the coca
sion, declaring the premises open, and
wishing all success to the venture.
Thereafter came IN address from the
energetic proprietor, Miss Edith A. Da-
Wis, who traced the history Of the move
ment from the humble opening of the
Office to its removal to the existing
central premises at 1852 Strand, and

Christopher Columbus' Fate saiA 20
Have Hung ON a Game OF Chess.
It Is a Spanish tradition that the fate
Of Columbus once hung on n game OF
chess, says the New York Ledger. For
years the schemer had haunted the
Spanish court, trying 70 interest some
one In his cause, but at last, despairing,
he determined to leave and go to
France. The night before his intended
departure he sought an audience Of
the queen to communicate his intention
and to take his leave. The queen asked
him to wait while she made one more
effort to interest the king, and left
the room for that purpose. She found
Ferdinand engaged In game OF chess,
and, disturbing him by her entrance,
and thus causing him to lose a piece,
he let fly a volley of oaths at seamen
generally and at Columbus In particular
and then informed Isabella that the
result of her petition would depend on
the result Of the game. 1t grew worse,
and things looked blue for the discov-
erer Of America, but Isabella, overlook
ing the board, whispered to his majesty
q suggestion as to move that could be
made; the king adopted the suggestion,
and America was saved.
1t Is queer story, but no stranger
than the one told In Rome at the time
the divorce Of Henry VIII. was under
discussion that the negotiations were
broken off by the earl OF WiltShire's
dog. This unmannerly cur had fol
lowed his master into the court, and
when the pontiff, at the close of the
audience, put out his foot to be kissed
by the earl, the dog bit It and so an
gered the pope and Mortified the court
that the negotiations were suspended.
The story may be true or false, but
In either case is an excellent demonstra-
ton of the value of the trifie, when the
trife occurs in the life Of an exalted
parsonage, and gives point to the re-
mark made by Paschal along the same
line, that If the nose Of Cleopatra had
been an inch longer or shorter the
course Of the worlds history might
have been materially changed

Upse md Teeth Amons Americans.

The French nation has recently been
put In possession OF some remarkable
information in regard to American
teeth factories" United States Com
mercial Agent Murphy, at Luxembourg,
has sent to the department Of state the
following translation Of a report on
artificial teeth: 1T is In America that
the worst teeth are found, which ac-
counts for the multitude Of dentists,
more or less American, scattered over
the globe, and especially for the import
ance Of American fabrication Of every
thing appertaining to the art of the
dentist. II 1t is. possible to believe
authentic documents the cost Of an arti.
fetal tooth at the factory in the United
States should not exceed 30 or 80 cents.
One of these factories in New York sells
not less than 100000 of these teeth
per annum. The teeth are porcelain,
covered with a special enamel, the
application of which Is so delicate
that there are not two teeth which
are tinted exactly alike. Moreover,
there are about fifty different tints
which are artificially obtained, CORE
spending to the color variations Of
natural teeth. The imitation is carried
so far as to simulate defects, which
render the illusion more complete. II
these dispatches are credible the fac
tory stocks ought to be quickly ex-
hausted. "-Washington Post.

The PapaEoes OF Ariz0nM who Are
Not BIoodthirsty, but Are Great
Wanderers.
The chief Of the bu,aau Of sthnology
In Washington has sent two scouts into
Arizona to look over the homes of the
Parago Indians and to investigate their
race characteristics. They are the most
vagrant of American Indians They
live In Southern Arizona. Often they
make foraging expeditions into Mexico,
and In the sense Of settled habitatiJn
they cannot be said to live anywhere.
They are the most nomadic OF all the
Indian tribes ut present. The Papa
goes were once tribe Of from 1000 to
1000. The exact number Is not known
They are scattered over SO wide a
range Of territory that 1t is doubtful IL
even one of their own number could
form q clear idea of how many there
now are in the tribe.
The Papagoes are wild in the sense
that they are uncivjlized, but not In the
sense that they are bloodthirsty. They
are a very peaceful people and maay Of
them assist their Indian neighbors in
harvesting their grain. They take their
pay In supplies, which they lay up for
the winter season. But in the summer
they live chiefly on the fruit of the
cactus plant and wild berries. IL is a
wonder how they i've at all. Some of
those who lead rowing life own few
horses and cattle. But the entire num-
Der of cattle owned by those who are
not on reservations is only 1000 and
the number Of domestic fowls Is /, $50.
The Papago Indians receive no ra-
ticns from the government. They are
actually self-supporting, asking nothing
Of the government and receiving very
little. There are from 300 to 500 In
dams gathered on two reservations, one
near Tucson and one near ella Bend
on the Southern Pacific railroad.
These communities are not models Of
their kind. In fact they are described
as having each about thirty miserable
squalid adobe houses, with not drop
Of water within many miles, except
what Is caught in pools during the I'M
certain Arizona rainy season, and in q
short time this water becomes thick
and vile, because the pools are the
common resort of the Indians, the cat
tie and the swine. What the Papagoes
need most Is irrigation to make their
barren land fertile, for that land now
will not furnish subsistence for coy
ote or gopher.

a fair estimate in number Of the Par

census Of 1890 not less than 10000
writers contribute to the newspapers.
Journalism Is a profession highly re-
spected in France, and every man who
has name in literary, scientific, arts
tic or political circles is or has been
journalist. Vacquerie, the chief editor
Of the Rappel during the last thirty
years, refused lately a seat at the

the fact of being one of the forty i'm
