Reasons for the ycr.oIs Stapss OF Birds Eggs.
WASHINGTON Star.

"Birds' eggs differ in shape as we'll as
they do in color" said Il well-knOwn
ornitliologist. "FOr instance, the eggs Of
the owl family are almost spherical, ard
are thus easily moved by the parent bird
in her desire to secure AN equal amount
Of warmth to each during the time of
Matching. AS she nests in a hole, there
is no fear whatever Of any Of her clutch
rolling away and being smashed. On the
other hand, the guillemot, which nests,
or rather lays her eggs on fiat, bare rocks
in high, exposed latitudcs, lays single
egg so elongated and curiously shaped
that when stirred by violent gust OF
wind or the birds sudden fight it does
not roll away, but simply spins around
on its axis like top. In the case OF
plovers, snipes, and other birds that lay
four large eggs, the eggs narrow SO rap
idly toward the smaller end that four OF
them in a nest practically form square,
thus enabling the bird to cover them the
,noTe effectually."

swansoa's Rheumatic Cure Co. in New Quarters.

The Swan son Rheumatic Cure Company,
known to the ends Of the earth almost as
the manufa cturer of the famous ''5 Drop -
remedies, has effected another step in the
march of commercial progress which has
arkcd the career Of this company during
the past five years. The company has es-
tablished itself in new and cOmmodious
quarters at 100 to 16i East Lake street,
Chicago, III, where it moved from 1877 Dear
born street TO meet the demands for in
creased working room neceSsitated by the
rapidly growing business of the firm.
1.-The prosperity OF this company" said
Mr. Swanson, in answer to question, .'is
due solely and entirely to the honesty and
straigh tiorwardness with which it has
conducted its dealings with the public,
both at large and as individuals. This
was made possible by the undisputed
merits Of its produc tons. 1t is no ex-
aggeration to say that 8 Drops has cured
more people within the last three years
than all other medicine combined"
The Swanson company manufactures
several other remedies, all of which are as
effective in their respective lines as is =" 5
