Tricky Methods Of q Partisan Dealer
Brought 10 Light


| A sparrow's egg seems of little OF
no value, and yet there is man in
Paris who can transform it into a
prize really worth having. Indeed,
this ingenious gentleman makes a
| very handsome income through his
skill In coloring birds eggs. AS to the
legitimacy Of his business, the reader
can judge for himself, says the San
Francisco Call.
A few years ago this wide-awake
Partisan was an assistant In provin-
cial museum Of natural history, and
while there he learned and saw a
great deal which has since been of
much use to him. So much, indeed,
did he learn that when he lost his po-
sition he went to Paris and determin-
ed to start In business for himself. His
apprenticeship at the museum had
shown him the value of birds eggs,
and he promptly decided to make a
living by dealing in rare eggs. True,
he had only very small collection Of
eggs with which to start business, but
this was trifiing obstacle to a man
of bis versatile genius. He knew that
there were many collectors in various
countries who were willing to pay
fancy prices for eggs, and he resolved
to supply their demands no matter
how extravagant they might be.
OF course, not having many rare
eggs and lacking the necessary facili-
ties for procuring them, he could not
supply them unless he manufactured
them, and this he did. For example,
IL collector wrote to him for a pen
gums egg he would make out of
gypsum shell exactly resembling
that Of penguin's egg and he would
forward 1t to his customer, who would
never dream that penguin had not
laid it. AS rule, however, he uses
a shell of some common egg, his sole
care being to see that 1t corresponds
in size with the desired egg. The eggs
of the common flycatcher are very
cheap, and by coloring them properly
they can be made to resemble much
costlier eggs. Again, n ducks egg
costs very little, and yet our ingenious
Frenchman could easily transform it
into an egg worth from 40 to 90 francs.
Pigeons eggs are also very useful for
a similar purpose, since they are ex-
actly the same size as many very rare
eggs. Any one with knowledge of
chemistry could change them so that
the pigeons themselves would not rec
ognize them.
Almost every collector of birds eggs
desires to have one or two finely
marked nightingales' eggs and is will
ing to pay high price for them. The
Partisan dealer was well aware of this
little weakness, and, larks being more
abundant than nightingales, he found
no difficulty In getting larks' eggs and
coloring them so that they were exact
ly like the genuine article as deposited
in remote places by the timorous
nightingale.

Hear the music OF the clock,
Softly ticking time;
AZ the water wears the rock,
So in rhythmic rhyme
Does the ticking Of the clock
Seem to wear out time.
In the hustle Of the day
1t IL scarcely heard;
Still 1t ticks and ticks away,
Blithe o. any bird,
Careless that the sounds OF day
Make its voice unheard.
But at night II speaks aloud
In the stiffness deep,
When the day-time's weary crowd
Drops to realms Of sleep;
Then its voice, exulting loud,
Wakes the stiffness deep.
And the wakeful listener hears
Strange and serious things;
Hears the stream Of flowing years
AS 1t flows and sings
Surgings of the future hears,
And clash Of coming things!

Glue Closes women's Mouth.

Such point has been reached that
IL seems as II 1t were impossible to
obtain any more pure homemade
sugar. James Linney, a Harrodsburg
merchant, purchased several pounds
Of what was represented to him as a
pure article the other day. An old
lady came In and purchased two cakes.
She took about half-one in her mouth
and began to chew until she could
chew no more. The merchant and
those standing about in the store, see
ing she could not open her mouth, be-
came alarmed, thinking the elderly
woman had severe attack of lock-
jaw. But. to the chagrin of the oblig-
ing merchant he soon discovered he
had been imposed upon by some I'M
scrupulous person, who had made the
sugar" Of some kind of glue. 1t was
necessary to heat kettle of water and
melt the stuff before the old lady
could open her mouth. However, she
hadn't forgotten to use II when the
glue had been removed.--Harrodsbu

re Ruby Mines Of ceyIon.

Ceylon's great ruby mines are world
famous. For substantial considera-
ton the obliging Singalese merchant
will take a ripe European out to his
precious sand heaps and dig up super
ior specimens for his special benefit.
The foreigner is always deeply i'm
pressed and is delighted with his cost
ly purchase until he finds out about
the man in Birmingham, England, who
runs a precious stone factory in con-
nection with his glass plant. This
man makes bushels Of rubies Of col
ored glass and ships them to Ceylon.
There the clever natives bury them 10
the tabled sand mines, to be dug ont
under the eyes of the first foreign sim
pleton who comes along. Truly, there
are tricks In all trades.

the regatta committee to-day deter
