A Curious Looking Enu

A sharks egg is one of the most odd
looking things imaginable and has no
more resemblance to an egg, strictly
speaking, than it has to paving stone.
In one variety it is pillow shaped and
has long horn" or 'feeler," at each
corner. 1t is about two inches long
and the color almost pure black.
1t is unprovided with shell, as we
understand that word, but the contents
are protected by thick, leathery COW
ering, which has almost as much elias
ITCHY about it as covering of rubber
would have.
The 'feelers" mentioned catch hold
of and wind themselves around pieces
of seaweed and other floating objects
and hang until the egg is Matched
One variety of the shark lays IS eggs
during the month of April. These float
about until early in December, when
the little sharks emerge.

He is a prominent lawyer in this

day last week. The little girl kis
her hand to him until he turned

but she only answered, Nothing" Any

Love at First sight.

Believers in the possibility of love at
first sight may feel a sympathetic in
terest, and perhaps find a Darwinian
argument, in a story Of the first meet
ing of two apes in the London zoo. We
retell the tale from wild Animals In
Captivity"
Sarah was seated alone in her cage
when a new ape made his appearance
in front of the bars. Instantly both
animals uttered short cries, and, bend
ing toward each other, protruded Their
thin lips until they met across the bars
of the cage. Then, as the keeper threw
open the cage door, the apes rushed in
to each others arms and, squatting OF
the floor, Rugged each other with comic
affection. In few seconds they rose
and, standing erect, raised their arms
above their heads, grasped each others
front paws and screamed and howled
in mutual appreciation.
Let us hope that they lived happy

to be an especial effort made at the
National Export Exposition to show
the perfection of the manufacture in
the United States of agricultural i'm

second in size to the main building,
which is devoted to such exhibits, and
a more important collection than that
which has been arranged for in. this
department could not well be imagin-

things which the farmer uses, but the
very small things as well, and shows
not merely implements for use on the
small farms. but upon the vast wheat
fields of the far west and the great

play goes even farther than this. 1t
has as a companion exhibit display
of furniture generally, which includes
a special selection of articles suitable
to farm uses and such as is in use
among farmers This relates not to
household and domestic furniture only,
but to such as is used about the other
arm buildings.

Bates was renowned for his ability to
hold his tongue. The gift approached
genius but john was keenly alive to

about it.
He made mattresses for living, and
one day native of the village came
into his shop and said:
John, what's the best kind of
mattress7"
"Husks," said John and said no
more.
Twenty years later, SO the tradition
runs, the same man came again to the
shop and asked what, in Bates opinion,
was the best kind of a mattress.
Straw, said John.

Takes Weak Women Strong.
And Sick Women We'll

1t Is made from a formula of DR.. R. v.
Pierce, the celebrated specialist in diseases
of women at Buffalo, N Y. 1t is a strictly
Temperance medicine, containing neither
alcohol, opium or other narcotic poison.
Its protracted use does not create a craving
for Intoxicating stimulants or deadly mar
cotics. 1t cures irregularities, displace-
rnents, drains, alterations, inflammation,
headache, backache and nervousness. IT
prepares the way for almost painless ma
ternity, and insures robustness to the new
born. 1t cures women at home, and does
away with obnoxious questioning and local
examinations
Some medicine dealers offer substitutes
when you ask for Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. They initiate this medicine
IN appearance as nearly as the law will
allow, but they cannot initiate its record
of thirty years of cures.
Mrs Matte Venghaus, of Tioga Hancock Co.,
III, writes; 1 had been sick for seven years,
not in bed, but just dragging myself around.
AT last took three bottles Of Dr. Pierce's Fa-
vorlte Prescription and five of Golden Medical
discovery and it is impossible to describe IN
1o,ds the good these medicines did me-"
Neither the Discovery" nor the :" Fa-
vorite Prescription" contains any alcohol,
opium or other narcotic.

Eating Like a Bird.

1t isn't as polite as it is intended to
be to say that person has the appe-
tite of bird. If a human being ate as
much proportionately as does the av-
erage bird, the sight would be disgust
ing. In one shrike there have been
found the remains of 70 caterpillars, "a
bugs, one field mouse and one leech. A
field hawk that was observed for a
month is credited with a record Of
1000 mice in that time. A tame owl
ate seven mice, one after the other,
and three hours afterward ate four
more. The robin eats on an average IA

Prevalence Of the Lying, Habit.

Did you ever count up how many
times in the course of a day you tell
a lie even though you consider your
self a truthful person? You tell lie
when friend asks If new hat is be-
coming, when you praise something
your hostess cooks and when you say
you had good time in bidding her
goodby. You must lie or offend a hun
dred day, and you naturally prefer to
lie. Its effects may be as bad as those
of giving offense, but they are not so
apparent-Atchison Globe.

When the morning fog retreated be-

relief, the flags floating above the
main entrance were found to announce
to the world that the exposition was
progressing. The flags above the
Pediment, which surround the quad
ragia Of Victory, displayed the letters
c v X S. which in the international
commercial code indicated the word
exposition, while those to the south
represented the letters D P B R, which
in the code represent the word pro-
crossing. All Of the passing shipping
on the river, as we'll as those persons
on land familiar with the code, were
thus advised of the success of the

ress
Those visitors who came upon the
Esplanade after 10 o'clock found not
only a new thing in the fully equip
ped Chinese restaurant, but all the at
fractions of that feature of the ex-
position in full swing.
The Chinese village inhabitants were
becoming more familiar with their
surroundings. The Oriental Coffee and
Smoking Parlers and the Theater are
well patronized and the animals in the
Hagenback show are doing the most
wonderful things imaginable. The
Esplanade, in the brilliant sunshine,
indeed, presented a most attractive
and animated appearance. The melo-
dious songs from the natives of the old
plantation fell pleasantly upon the ear
even above the deep lunged young men
who described what may be found be-
hind the entrance doors.
Within the exposition building the
progress made during the past two
days in perfecting the displays and
adding to the attractions of the ex-
hibition was quickly apparent to those
who had watched the unfolding of the
plans of those in charge of the ex-
hibits. Ample power for the machin-
cry is now furnished by two boilers

commission, and in a few days two
other boilers. with 300 horse power
each, will be added to these.
