to this office last week IL hen eggs
which are about the size of pigeon
eggs and as yellow as old gold.
The hen laid 10 of the same size
and abandoned the nest, after
which she laid the 10 sent us and
when they were taken from her
she stole a nest and cannot since
be found. Tho eggs in question
have no yolks and are therefore
useless to raise from.

Elias Howe almost beggared him.
self before he discovered where the eye
of the needle Of a sewing machine
should be located, says the Philadel-
phia Times. His original idea was to
follow the model Of the eye at the heel.
II never occurred 10 him that it should
be placed near the point, and he might
have failed altogether if he had not
dreamed he was building a sewing ma
chine for savage king in strange
country. Just az IN his actual waking
experience he WAS rather perplexed
about the needles eye. He thought
the king gave him twenty.four hours
TO complete machine and make it
sew If not finished in that time death
was to be the punishment. Howe
worked and worked and puzzled and
puzzled and finally gave IT up. Then
he thought he was taken ont TO be e1-
ecuted. He noticed that the warriors
carried spears that were pierced near
the head. Instantly came the solu-
tion Of the difficulty, and while the
inventor was begging for time he
awoke. 1t was four o'clock in tho
morning. Hejumped out Of bed, ran
to his workshop, and by nine a needle
with an eye at the point had been
rudely modelled. After that it was
easy. This is the true story Of an I'M.
portant incident in the invention Of
the sewing machine.

Bird Reasoning.

A little known and nglnstance
of foresight and industry exhibited by
bird is that of the California wood
pecker. Like others Of its kind, this
bird is an insect-eater. Yet in view Of
the approach of winter it prepares a
store of food of wholly different char
acter, and arranges this with as much
care as an epicure might devote to the
storage of his wine in cellar. In the
summer the woodpecker lives on ants.
For the winter it stores up acorns.
To hold each acorn it hollows a small
hole in a tree, into which the acorn is
exactly fitted, and is ready to be split
by the strong beak Of the climbing
woodpecker, though too tightly held
to be stolen either by squirrels or 9TH
er birds.
a relation of this woodpecker inhab-
its the driest part of Mexico, where
during the droughts it must die Of
starvation unless it made store. To
prevent this it selects the hollow stem
Of species of aloe, the bore of which
is Just large enough to hold a nut.
The woodpecker drills holes at inter-
walls in the stem, and fills it from bot
tom to top with the nuts, the separate
holes being apparently made for con-
venience Of access to the column Oi
nuts within.
The intelligence which not only con-
structs special storehOuse, but teach
es the woodpecker to lay by only the
nuts which Will keep, and not the IN
sects which would decay, Is perhaps
the highest form of bird reasoning
which has yet been observed.

NEW VOL. 30--NO. 80.
A Stupendous Undertaking.

One of the most stupendous feats
in engineering which the world has
ever seen is proposed by the people of
Holland, being nothing less than the
reclamation of the waters submerged
by the Zuyder Zee. The scheme, If
carried out, will result in recovering
about $50 square miles of land now
under water and will add new prov
ince TO the country. 1t is estimated
that the work will cost over $3.50, ,OOO,-
600, ana will require SS years of con-
slant labor. The Dutch Government
has recently received favorable re-
port on the plans from the Rooal COM
mission appointed to look into the pro-
ject, and it is reported that the govern
ment and many Of the leading citizens
of Holland consider the scheme prac'
ticable. In the expansion of territory,
in the increase of trade and agrioul-
ture, and the giving to thousands of
people the opportunity of profitable
employment, the project, though stu
pendous and very costly one, will be
one that will recommend itself to most
Hollanders.
The work proposed to be done con-
si.ts, first, of the construction of an eS-
;ensiye embankment from almost the
extreme point of North Holland to the
Friesland coast. so as to shut out the
ocean from all further access to the
Zuvder lee; and second, OF the for
nation, by means of further embank-
ments, of four great "polders on DIFF
ferent parts Of the shores of tho Zuy.
der Zee for the purposes of land recla'
nation. 1t is estimated that the capl-
tai value of the land to be reclaimed,
for agricultural purposes, will be over
$l35, 100000.
There is one important point which
has been raised by the directors TO the
plan. and that is that its consumma-
tion will practically destroy the Zuy-
der Zee fisheries, the revenues of which
now average about $500 per year
employment being given through these
fisheries to 5000 persons, and 1900
vessels. To compensate the fishermen
for their loss the Royal commission
proposes to give to every man thus
deprived of means of livelihood a
new vessel suitable for the North Sea
fisheries; and further to insure them
against accident, to pension old fisher
men and to exempt from harbor dues
all the craft owned by them. II is
believed in Holland that after the set
tement Of the secondary questions the
government will at once order the
great work of reclaiming these lands
under water TO be begun.

Or, play that you sought this nesting place
For your own sweet self, with that dual
guise
or your pretty mother In your face
And the look of that other IN your eyes!
So the dear old love shall live anew,
AS hold my darling Oh my knee,
And I'll say al love you" TO YOU
And you say al love you" TO me!
o, many a strange, true thing we say
And do when we pretend TO play.
Eugene Fieid.
