BIRDS EGGS.
III Reasons Why They Are Not All Of
One Shane.

Tho Reasons Why They Arc Not All Of
One Shape.
Why is there not a fixed form for all
eggs? We can see no reason in the anat. +
omy Of the bird, but we may often find
reasons for the shape Of any particular
egg in its later history.
It is noticeable, for instance, that the
more spherical eggs, as those of owls,
trogons and the like, are usually laid
in holes in the earth, rocks or trees,
where they cannot fall out of the nest,
and that tho eggs Of the ordinary song
bird, which makes q kell constructed
nest, + oval, while the slim, straight
sided, conoidal eggs, tapering sharply
to a point, belong to birds that construct
little o. no nest-to the shore birds, !
terms, g%uillemots and the like. Whyi
Because these last drop them in small
clutches and with little or no prepare.
ton upon sand or rock, where, were
they spherical, they could only with
difficulty be kept closer beneath the sit
ting bird. but conical objects will tend
always to roll toward q center. An ad.
ditional advantage is that eggs Of the
latter shape will take up less space
form a snugger package to be warmed
In the case Of guillemots the single egg
laid is especially fat sided and tapering,
and the species owes its perpetuation
largely to this circumstance, since,
were it not for the eggs toplike tenden-
cy to reyolve about its own apex, the
chances are that it would be pushed off

New York, May PA Mail and En-
press dispatch from Key West this af-
ternOOn says that the fleet of Admiral
Cervera is no longer at Santiago de
Cuba. The belief is that Cervera is
preparing to make Il descent on some
one of the Atlantic coast cities. The
naval experts are disguised because
of the fact that the Spanish fleet has
given the Americans another slip. The
idea seems to prevail that they have
been away from Santiago since last
Saturday.
Washington, May Secretary
Long informed the cabinet to-day that
he had no positive information that Adj
miral Cervera's fleet was bottled up in
Santiago de Cuba. The cabinet deci-
ded that no offensive programme could
be inaugurated until the absolute CON
tirmatiOn Of the reported presence of
the Spanish fleet at Santiago de Cuba
is received.
Washington, May Ex-senator Allen
introduced several amendments to the
war revenue bill to-day which empower
the president to appoint "a civil or mill
tary governor over such territory as is
secured by conquest, and that federal
laws shall govern such territory. Sen
ator Lodge proposed as another amend
ment the annexation of Hawaii.

Spanish Must Get Ont.

Washington, Nov. 16.-The govern
ment has renewed and strengthened its
determination that the Spanish evaoua-
ton Of Cuba and the American occupa-
ton shall not be deferred beyond Jan.
/ next. This conclusion has been COM
municated TO the Spanish government

urgent request that the date of evacua-
tion be put off because of the large num-
Der Of Spanish troops remaining on the
island, who, it was represented, could
not be moved before Jan. l. Not being
a subject which could be treated by the

HURTS MARIETTA,

If you don't believe Marietta people
patronize Atlanta merchants, you 90
to the train and see them get off with
with bundles. 1t will astonish Won.
The stores of Marietta suffer badly. If
Atlanta was about so miles distant the
trade propably could be controlled, as
it is the distance is so near and the fare
so cheap, it is like running a street car
line, and Marietta the suburbs. All
parts OF our county, especially on the
south side, patronize Atlanta. The
dollars poured into the laps of Atlanta
merchants never come back to sthis
county, and we are thus drained of
much revenue that ought to go to
build up and foster home business.
There seems TO be no help for it.

LAW-BREAKERS CAPTURED.

Moore's Mill, in Cherokee county, is
a section that has become notorious for
running illicit distilleries. 1t is said
that distilleries are run on n bigger
scale in that territory than any place
in Georgia, and the revenue officers
are kept busy making raids in that vi
cinity. On the night of the Doth ult.
Deputy Collectors J. E. Heatherington
and A. J. Spence and Deputy U. S.
Marshal S. H. Galloway visited that
section and found two distillery places :;
at each place there was one large cop-
per still, with 800 or 1900 gallons of
beer, except just before the arrival at
the second place a runner had carried
the information, and those operating it
pulled out the still and carried it off.
Everything was smoking hot when the
officers got there, about twenty min
utes too late to capture the still and
men, but they captured the first two
with stills in the furnace, together with
the parties operating them. The men
captured were T. W. Wilson and James
Palmer. They We're carried to Jasper
before US. Commissioner Simmons,
who bound them over. The intrinsic
value of the property captured is about
$4,000.

MR.. HANEY PHAGAN DEAD.

The sad news comes from Russell
vile. Ala, of the recent death of Mr..
Haney Phagan, which occurred seven
weeks after his marriage. Haney lived
here before going to Alabama and was
well known to our people, who will re-
greet mis- untimely death, caused by
fever. He was n noble and worthy
young man, and his fair young bride
ana parents have our sympathy. Be-
fore moving to Alabama, Mr.. Phagan
clerked for Mr.. w II. Fox, who es
esteemed him highly At the time he
received the news of his death he had
just boxed and had marked delayed
bridal present, an enlarged picture of
himself and wife. The sad news was
quite shock to Mr., and Mrs. Fox. as
it was to all our people.

A FINE APPOINTMENT.

Our fellow-t ownsman, Col. l.. N.
| Trammell, has been nominated by
| Governor Gambler and confirmed by
the Senate to succeed himself as Rail-
| road Commissioner for another six
years. The Atlanta Journal pays him
the following deserved tribute which we
heartily endorse:
Governor Gambler today nominated
Hon. l.. n. Trammell to succeed him.
self as railroad commissioner. Colonel
Trammell has served his second term
en- the commission and has done the
state service, which entitled him to
the honor Governor Gambler has con-
ferred upon him. No state official has
been more faithful or more efficient in
the discharge of his duty.
The service of Colonel Trammell as
railroad commissioner has been as con-
spicuously clean as it has been thor
ough and able.
When such an official is found in
place of high and delicate responsible
ity it is the part of wisdom to retain
him; it is only just to the public as
well as to the faithful public servant
himself to do so. Governor Gambler
could not make any appointment that
would deserve more unanimous and
hearty endorsement than the one he
has made i'm this instance We do No
injustice to any other man who has
served the railroad commission when
we say that the reforms which have
been instituted by that department
and its value as a branch of the state
government have in large measure been
due to Col. Trammell The state is to
be congratulated on the fact that it is
to have the benefit of his services as
railroad commissioner for another
term.

MISTAKEN IDEA,

We heard Marietta young man say
when he got married he was going to
marry for money" He has an idea
that money can buy anything, but he
is woefully mistaken. One may secure
gllttering gold with the marriage Ii
cense. hnt it does not secure husband
or wife. You can buy caramels with
money, but not the wealth of a true
heart, You can buy an elegant house,
but not loving home, Mercenary af-
lection is only seliishness boiled down
to the dregs of heartache. Love is self
denial and self-sacrifice. Money can
not buy happiness and love.

"SHORTIE" ACTS BADLY.

For the first time in many years the
envelope racket was worked in Atlanta
last night.
An uptown hotel was the scene of the
robbery, and all parties concerned were
formerly members of company ID, Sec
ond Georgia Regiment. which was
mustered out yesterday afternoon.
Last night four soldiers strolled into
the hotel, and after having secured
room were about to retire, when pri-
vate Carroll, who claims to hail from
Marietta, proposed that as all of them
had good deal of money, they place
it in an evelope and leave it with the
clerk.
This was agreed to by the others and
something over two hundred dollars
was given to the Marietta soldier, who
left the room under the pretense of
taking the money down to the clerk.
1t appears that instead OF placing the
money envelope with the hotel people
he gave them one with very little in it
and put the money in his pocket. He
returned 10 the room where he had left
his friends and told them the money
was down stairs
At an early hour this morning, be-
fore any of the rest of them were
awake, Carroll. so it is said, left the
hotel, and when his friends came down
they were given an empty envelope.
A search was made for Carroll, So it
is claimed, but he was not to be found.
The soldiers who were robbed were,
privates Patillo, Bray and Garrard.
It il said that Carroll was formerly
n Jockey and has always been regarded
as Il slick fellow.-Atlanta Journal,

If all who hate would love us,
and all our loves were true,
The stars that swing above us
Would brighten in the blue;
If cruel words were kisses
And every scowl a smile,
A better world than this is
Would hardly be worth while;
If purses would untighten
To meet a brothers need,
The load we bear would tighten
Above the grave of greed.
If those who whine would whistle
And those who languish laugh,
The rose would rout the thistle.
The grain outrun the chaff;
If hearts were only Jolly,
If grieving were forget.
And tears and melancholy
Were things that now are not
Then Love would kneel to Duty,
And all the world would seem
A bridal bower of beauty,
A dream within a dream.
If men would cease to worry.
And women cease to sigh,
And all be glad to bury
Whatever has to die
If neighbor spake to neighbor,
As love demands of all,
The rust would eat the saber,
The spear stay on the wall;
Then every day would glisten,
And every eye would shine,
And God would pause to listen,
And life would be divine. =
