An everyday hens egg nearly caused
a rupture between a Chester young wo-
man and her lover. While in the poultry
yard two weeks ago she picked up the
egg and placed it In the pocket of her
macintosh, but before she returned to
the house the egg was forgotten, says the
Philadelphia Record. The macintosh
was hung on hook and was not dis
turbed until night or two ago, when it
was donned by the young lady, and when
the arm of the lover EN- braced her the
long-suffering egg gave way. Soon the
lover grew distracted and gradually with
drew his arm. He edged off from the
girl, and. touched to the quick and not
understanding his GOODNESS, she also

left the premises, and the girl fled into
the house. where she burst into tears.
The broken egg made its presence felt in
the house to the other me m bers of the
family, but as the Young lady had cold
she had not noticed the aroma which
drove off her lover. A reconciliatio n

VERY BRILLIANT PROSPECT

A. II. Naftzgcr, president of the execu

an extensive eastern trip which involved
points as far east as Boston. Mass, and
as far south as Tampa, Fla.
Yearly every city OF any importance
where there would be possible market
for California oranges was visited
Touching on his trip, Mr.. Naftzger said
1--WE found that many false representa-
tons concerning the plan of the exchan &c
has for marketing the crop of Southern
California had been put in circulation
among dealers. These false impression
we found that we could correct by few
words OF explanation, and we did so. AS
soon as dealers understood what we in
tended to do they all approved OF our
contem plated action.
Those with whom we have dealt in
previous years will gladly deal with us
again during the season now about to
opsn. Their orders will of course come
in first.

A Chafiinch's Friendship

My aunt and | made friends with o
tale cha finch, who lived In our garden,
and when he paired he brought his wife
to call on US. We were sitting on the
lawn when the introduction took place,
and the two birds hopped around our feet
and chartered rapidly while looking us
boldly in the face. and they fearlessly
picked up some biscuit crumbs which we
placed on the toes of our shoes. Even
tually they flew on the backs of our cliaiis
and, a tame robin having set the exam
pie, they even lighted on our shoulders.
We never attempted to search for their
nest, though we fancied they wanted to
to take us to it, for they constantly
walked in front of us when we were
strolling around the garden. One morn
ing, however. my aunt, who was accus-
toned 10 place fuodf0" Them on the VIM
dow sill OF hor bedr rom heard Mr..
''Pye," as we ca4l,u him, tappin 6
against the window panes, and on look
ing out she saw the male chatiinch with
a young bird on the window ledge. which
he left there while he returned to the
nest to bring another one, to be followed
by his wife with third tiedRllng. My
aunt fetched me to look at them and We
opened the window and admired the
young birds, the parents fondly watching
u.s. and this performance was repeated
each morning until the young birds came
OF their OWE accord and continued the
friendship vouchsafed us by the parent
birds. The entire family would now sur
round rs whenever we went into the gar
den, and even accompany US on country
walks, fitting along in the hedges while
we walked in the lanes, but, having to
leave home for some three months, we
lost sight of our friends, and on our re-

it is difficult and frequently impossible

ernor Evans spoke to a large assem-
bly,. The audience was ring-streaked
and striped. Butler, of North Caro-
lima, United States Populist Senator

and tame in his ''Tirade." His chief
point was the throwing off the Demo
cratic Party and forming a new alli-
ance with the northwest. The sub
stance of Democracy being gone there
was nothing in q name-a mere sound
and let it go. And so Tillman goes.
Evans threshed old straw. He ia
vored reforming the judiciary, which
everybody thought was reformed when
Pope, Gary, Townsend, Buchanan and
Benet wore clothed in white robes
Hefavored the Mississippip plan Matched
by Senator Tillman-he is nursing that
chick. He favors dividing up the
counties into smaller ones, to save ex-
pense to the people.

A Rarrister,s Bureau OF Information.

The waste of time involved in long
and often fruitless interviews with
clients is one of the annoyances incl
dent to lawyers life. Much OF the
cost of legal advice arises from this
needless expenditure OF valuable time.
Another difficulty which a busy law
yer frequently meets is involved in a
sudden call for legal opinion on some
state of facts submitted by client at
q time when other duties occupy the
time of the lawyer. Various methods
of meeting these difficulties have been
devised from time to time. Legal
writer's or associations have offered
for moderate fees to give to lawyers
information on points submitted. A
"Barrister's Bureau" has recently
been organized in Philadelphia to as
sist lawyers in preparing cases by fur
nishing memoranda of authorities 5, or
arguments upon questions of law. The
fees are high for lawyers having cli'
ents of moderate means, but when en-
gagged in important litigations coun'
sci may at times find it convenient to
have such means of securing the
authorities on some question which
has suddenly arisen on the trial OF o
case.-New York Tribune.

A Troy man now in Ojo Calieute,
New Mexico, writes to the Troy (N.
W Times about the remarkable eli
mate and powerful waters of that
place. On three successive mornings
the mercury at Ojo Caliente indicated
twenty degrees below zero, eighteen
degrees below and four degrees below,
yet by 9 o'clock on these mornings
the therometer had risen to ten to
twenty degrees above, and during the
middle of the day an overcoat was
superhuous. In fact, there have been
but four days in several weeks when
it was not possible to sit in the house
with the door wide open and read or
write in comfort. The air is very dry
and crisp, and even when the mercury
sinks below zero the cold is not felt.
But, while the climate is remarkable,
it is nothing compared with the waters,
which are particularly recommended
to persons sufferip; from loconctor
ataxis, paralysis and rheumatic
troubles. The Trojan writes, and
vouches for the truth of the state
ment, that native placed cowbide
in tub and let the water run on it
during the night, and in the morning
it was found that the skin had COM
pletely dissolved, leaving nothing but
the hair. A person bathing in the
water must use extreme care and can
not stay in the tub more than fifteen
minutes, for the water softens the skin
so that scratches and cuts are very
easily received.
