Birds' Eggs superstftions.

The old, wrinkled, dusky auntles of
the south tell children: DO not eat the
bluebirds' eggs They make you love
to wander" They believe that the pale
blue eggs of that beautiful creature,
that violet of the air." that bird with
'sky tinge ON his back, earth tinge on
his breast" will make the greedy nest
robber restless as long as be lives. No
place, however enticing, can hold the
being who has once tasted a bluebird's
egg.
He who eats a hooking birds egg
will be compelled to tell all he knows"
The one who robs a killdee's nest and
eats its eggs will surely break an arm.
he who eats doves egg will be fol-
lowed by bad luck, while the egg of any
bird of yellow plumage will be sure to
cause fever, and he who eats an owls
egg will be always shrieking. The eat
er of a crows egg will always, as old
aunties say, "be gwine on foolish like
crow does go on, 'Ha, ha, han But a
partridge's egg" they declare, "du des
make you thrive an grow fas'. Dey
Ia de onlles' sort er birds eggs dat you
kin eat widout findin' 'em danger

provided for in the Sharpe bill, Whicn
has passed and will be approved by
Gov. White. It was stated in the rather
heated discussions on the merits OF the
bill, that the governor would not ap-
prove the bill; but assurances nave
been received by the leaders that II II

ecutive approval. Indeed, 1t would re-
quire especially urgent reasons for the
setting aside on the part Of the execu-
tive Of the most difficult and important
work before the legislative assembly.
It is not easy to get a majority OF Doth
houses together on an apportionment
measure, and If this work should be
toppled over. once it has been accom-
plished, it might render the session a
futile one so far as reapportionment IS
concerned, and result in no redistrict-

ABOUT two weeks of working time left,
while many other important measures
ard to be considered.

Century dictionary defines liberalism
may not always be the highest form
OF truth, but commercially it has COM
pensations. Some American manufac-
turers recently sent to their German
agent ten thousand show-cards in
which their agricultural machines
were drawn by tigers, driven by an
airily attired goddess Of liberty. The
agent returned the cards with the crit
icism that neither in Germany were
tigers available nor adapted for draft
purposes, nor could such women as
work in the fields afford to dress as
seems to be the fashion in wonderful
America.

In Sweden a very original idea is to

Swedes, Norwegians and foreigners in
terested in sport and folklore, and to
offer them an opportunity of studying
the Scandinavian games and exercises,
which. like those Of the ancient
Greeks, largely contribute to the
strength, hardness and agility OF the
people. They can at the same time
take cognizance OF the national music
and dances. which help to keep the
Swedes and Norwegians cheerful and
~contented during their long winters.

The bill, as originally passed in the
senate, provided for this representation,
except that the house membership was
smaller by one, a member being added
by the house in Richland county. It
was expected by senate members that
the house would cut u three dis
tricts, one in Barnes, one in Trail and
one in Cavalier, making the total NUM-
Der of senators thirty-seven. This was
the house programme, as evidenced by
the report of the committee, striking OF
the three districts in question. But
then came bitter opposition from
Barnes and the other counties where
It was proposed to knock of the dis
tricts. Although they had opposed the
bill from the start. when they saw it
was going through they did not wish
to miss their share Of the apportion-
ment pie. and they made desperate ef-
forts to get in. In their anxiety to as
sure a majority for the bill, and to get,
II possible, two-thirds of the votes of
the house, to insure the passage of the
bill in any event, the leaders conceded
the three districts that had been
stricken of, restoring the membership
IN the senate to forty.
This action was a surprise all round
as it was thought the house would not,
under any circumstances, fail to cut
down the membership somewhat. It
was of those concessions made in q
heated fight, where neither side is ex-
actly sure of its ground, and so the
bill went through the house with one
more in the total membership than the
senate had provided.
Most of the criticism of the new ap.
portionment is based on economy. It
is claimed the state can lily afford the
additional expense for salary and mile
age Of members. and Of the additional
clerks and employees that will come
with this congested list Of members.
The question Of clerk hire will prob
ably be settled by this legislature, by
the passage of the act calling for the
%engrossing and enrolling Of bills by
contract, to be let to the lowest bidder.
This is one Of the agreements that has
been made in the passage Of the bill.
At present the enrolling and e%ngrossing
is done by clerks appointed in each
house, as a part Of the spoils system Of
politics. Many clerks draw 81 per day
who do not earn it and who are not
qualified to do the work. At every. ses-
sion thousands Of dollars have been
paid out to political clerks. Under the
proposed contract system that would
be. avoided. The work would be done
at half the expense-possibly a still
greater reduction. It is estimated there
could be enough saved in one session
to pay the additional salaries Of the
members added in the new apportion.
ment.
The contract bill provides that sixty
days before the meeting Of the legis-
lative assembly the secretary Of state
shall give notice by advertisement that.
