The two eggs laid by a pigeon almost
invariably produce male and female.
Some curious experiments as to which

which the female have resulted in
showing that the first egg laid Is the

PHILOSOPHY.

The signs is bad when folks commence
A lindin foult with Providence
And balkin cause the earth don't shake
At every prancin step they take.
No man is great till he can see
How less than little he can be
FL stripped to self and stark and bare
He hung his sign out anywhere.
My doctern is to lay aside
Contentious and be satisfied.
jest do your best, and, praise err blame
That follows, that counts Jest the same.
I've alus noticed great success
is mixed with troubles more or less,
And it's the man who does the best
That gets more kicks than all the rest.

All appeared as it does to-day the isl- ands seemed slumbering in serene peace, although they knew that every spot where their people had lived was now defiled by the recent dead
 While they paused, huddling together irresolutely, there suddenly burst upon their ears tempest of exultant yells, and from both sides of the hill they had lately left the whole force of Tongans rushed after them. They fled as flies the booby before the frigate-bird and with as little hope of escape Before them spread this same bright sea, smil- ing up at them as if in welcome You know how our people love the sea, love to cradle ourselves on it's caressing waves from the day when, newly born, our mothers lay us in it's refreshing wa ters until even it's life-giving touch can no longer reanimate our withered bod ies. So who can wonder that the maid- ems fled to it for refuge? Over this shining sand they rushed, plunging in quiet blue beyond. Hard behind them came the hunters, sure of their prey. They reached the reef and stared with utter dread and amazement upon the pretty play of great school of DOT poises that, in just such graceful evolu- tions as we have now seen manifested their full enjoyment of life. Terror seized upon those blood-lusting Ton gans, their muscles shrank and their weapons fell. Had there been one hum dred Hapaian warriors left alive they might have destroyed the whole TongaH host, for it was become as band of lost

BROKE HIS LEG.
Big Plank Fell on Willie Eisent

Big Plank Fell on Willie Eisenbart
 While Playing Saturday.
 Little Willie Eisenbart, three year old boy living at the corner of East and State streets, met with q very painful accident Saturday afternoon.
 Willie has the boyish proclivity of swinging on gates and Saturday he climbed up on one in his yard. The gate was held open by large plank and Willie was unable to see why it re- fused to swing back and forth, He pushed and tugged and kicked until fin ally the plank slipped, causing Willie to fall from the gate. The unfortunate boys leg was caught under the plank and it's heavy weight broke the fail little limb.
 He was taken to the New Haven hos pital, where the broken leg was set. Lit tie Willie doesn't seem so mnch moved about his broken leg, but the fact that his little brothers and sisters are not playing around his bedside causes him much anxiety.
 Willie's father is employed at Win chesters. Willie's parents and elder brother paid him a long visit yesterday much to the little fellows satisfaction and joy.

understand what our feelings then were toward the sex to whom We are now so tender. Our only talk was of service of the gods and war, which indeed was generally undertaken for some religious reason more often than not to provide human victims for Sacrifice. In one of these constantly recurring wars the men
 of Tonga -tabu-of course, each group of these islands was then independent of
 the others-made a grand raid upon
 Hapai They were helped by some
 strangers who had been washed ashore
 from some other islands to the north
 ward to build bigger and better war
 canoes than had ever before been seen
 for our people were never famous for
 canoe building. They kept their plans
 so secret that when at daybreak one
 morning the news ran around Hapai
 that a whole fleet of war canoes were
 nearing the shore our people were like
 a school of flying-fish into the midst of
 which some dolphns have suddenly
 burst. One of my ancestors called The
 Bone Breaker from his great strength
 and courage, met the invaders with
 mere handful of his followers, and de-
 layed their landing for. hours until he and all his warriors were killed.
 By this time fresh bands were contin- ually arriving so that the warriors from Tonga must needs fight every inch of their way through the islands And as they destroyed band after band their war hunger became greater, their rage rose, and they determined to leave none Of us living except such as they kept for sacrifice on their altars at home | Day by day the slaughter went on, ever more feeble grew the defence until war | riors who had never refused to battle | hid themselves like the peca in holes of | the rocks Behind us, about two miles | inland there is q high hill with a flat top and steep sides. To this as shel- ter fled all the unmarried girls of our | people, caring to be carried away as slaves to Tonga, but never dreaming of | being slain if their hiding place was found Here they remained unseen for seven days. until, raveuous with hun ger. they were forced to leave their hid ing place and come down, But they hoped that, although no tidings had reached them from outside their ene- mics had departed Four hundred of them reached the plain over which we passed just now, weak and fasting, with | no man to lead them, trembling at every rustling branch in the forest around.

NOTHING ALARMING.

Chief Chemist Andrew $. Winton of the Connecticut agricultural experiment station at New Haven says: We have made no alarming nor Sensational discoveries regarding soda water and don't expect to. If we had We would re- port it at once and suggest the remedy for it, but we haven't. We gather ev- cry year various samples of food pro ducts representing a great variety of subjects, and this year We have been ex amining soda waters among other things. We have been at work just a month this year, and have not finished any examination If we were finding in soda poisons that were liable to reduce the population of New Haven so that it dropped to that of Bridgeport, it would be our duty to report it at once. There are no such terrible poisons used in any food products and our results so far have not been in the least alarming. Last year we examined jeli!es, which are more or less like fruit-syrups used in soda water, and found some iellies with improper ingredients, just as we sometimes do in water. milk, wine or any food product. but even thoss are not sufficiently poisonous to really harm anybody. Most Ot the soda water used is not only luxury and a delightful drink, but it is also very beneficial to the human stomach, and people do we'll to drink it."

He is the Common Black Corsair" and

 Albany, July 15.-The fear of the so- called kissing bug in the opinion of Dr. E. F. Felt state entomologist is an exaggeraton. He says he believes that the conditions which are reported from all parts of the country relative to the depredations of this insect are nothing out of the usual The bug, which has been misnamed the kissing bug" is an insect which is exceedingly common to the United States, and, according to the best scientific authority obtainable, is not a pugnacious or pugilistic bug.
