Contests of Eggs.

From the remotest ages the egg has
been looked upon as the symbol Of crea-
ton, or new birth. According to the
Persians the world was Matched from an
egg at that season of the year which
corresponds to the vernal equinox. Hence
the Parsees still exchange gifts of coll
ored eggs at the new year festival, which
they celebrate at this date. Among the
Jews the egg entered into all the mysteri-
Gus ceremonies called apocalyptic, and
occupied prominent position on the
household table during the paschal sea-
son. Christianity invested the paschal
egg with a new signifcance.-namely,
was cOlOred red in allusi0n to His blood
shed for sinners on the cross.
A curious custom in medieval churches
for priests and choristers to join in
game of ball at Eastertide took its rise
from the Easter egg, which was thrown
from: one to the other Of the choristers in
the nave Of the: church while an anthem
was being sung. As missed egg meant
a smashed egg, the more durable hand
ball was substituted. 5I 5s. s
= But the smashing of eggs continued as
"a form of outdoor sport. Survivals are to
be found among all TeutOnic and Anglo
Saxon people. A popular game in Eng
land and Germany consists of hitting one
egg against another, the egg that snr-
wives uncracked winning for its owner
the weaker anita gOnist, until an entire
basket Of eggs may have changed owner
ship Another game is to rundle eggs
down hill or slope. those which reach
the bottom uncracked being similarly VIC
storious oYer the others. sss

EARNINGS or ILL Illustrators.

The Space Rates Paid for Drawings
by Magazines and Newspapers.
The idea that illustrators are. usually
well paid for their work is. by NJ. means
a fallacy. The space rates allowed by
the principal magazines are most liberal,
from 500 to $500 being paid for a full
page, and from $50 to 500 for half
page drawing. AS, there is practically
one as the other, this at first sight ap-3
pears to be hardly fair to the artist. A.
compromise is usually effected, however,
by taking for the half page reproduction
a much more simple subject, one requir-5
ing less labor. 55> S$S5 5435s.%
Space rates are arbitrarily fixed by the.
periodicals. Some Of the best illustra-
tors are known to receive as high as $500
for a drawing, and in many cases this
pays for the right Of reproduction only,
the original drawing itself worth 500
or more-to be returned to the artist. a. Z
|. The sum Of $1,000 paid some years ago
by one Of the leading monthly magazines
to Edwin A. Abbey for the right Of re-
production Of a drawing was probably the
record price. Mr.. Abbey is said, more
over, to- have generally received the
highest prices ever paid for illustrations;
publishers would now willingly pay him
almost whatever he might ask. ~. i
The weekly magazines, comic weeklies
and daily newspapers all pay fairly well.
The weeklies pay from $40 to $15 per
column, while the rates of the Comics
are more elastic, ranging from IS up.
Newspaper space rates are nearly al
ceives from $40 to 5000 week. Two

Somewhere in these United States is

west Of New York, and of the hundreds
OF them who sojourn there. the greater

Among those who have been to the
sanltarlum and are not of the greater
part, concerning whom I have spoken, is
Opie Read, the writer: He was persuad-
been there to go to the place to be treat
ed for something or other. He went.
Now, | am told that on arriving at the
institution the patient is given not very
attractive meal, and that just when he
is beginning to become attached to it he
is rudely separated from it by means Of
a stomach pump. Mr.. Read, however,

the village and sought restaurant.

nodding toward the great sanitarium.
YES said Mr.. Read. j.
without further parley, the waiter
walked to the rear Of the room and lifted
up his voice, addressing. somebody be-
hind the tall screen there.
"'One sanitarium steak" was all he
said
'And it was to Mr.. Read thereafter as
if he had said: One sirloin steak, top

A WOMAN OF BUSINESS.
How Mrs. Hetty Green Forced Her
Way to the Front in Finance.

How Mrs. Hetty Green Forced Her
Way to the Front in Finance.
A writer in Frank Leslie's Popular
Monthly says that Mrs. Hetty Green's
life is more like that of Il manual laborer
than of merchant prince. She rises
early in her cheap little fiat in Hoboken,
N. j., spends few minutes upon light
breakfast, and hurries to the ferry. She
is almost the first person to arrive at her
Office in the Chemical bank on Broad
way. Here she labors until after dark.
Her rise in the financial world was
very swift, and yet it did not appear to
attract public notice for several years.
Before the public was aware of the fact
she had become a banker, railway Iii
rector, stock operator, real estate in
weston and capitalist. Her success led
many people to believe at first that she
was but a fgurehead for a .shrewd, un-
known speculator. Not until she had
defeated many groups of hostile finan-
ciers and predatory promoters did the
world realize that she was q new and
potent factor in the banking community.
Her greatest achievement, so far as
the public is concerned, took place in
1899, when she lent over 81 100000 in
cash in a single operation. The money
market was tight, the need of the Dor
rover great, and only one Wall street
magnate, Russell Sage, was supposed to
be in a position capable of furnishing
the ready money. Imagine, therefore,
the general surprise when the poorly
dressed Mrs. Green came forward and
took up the loan with the quickness of
an auctioneer Selling a half-heard bid.

Years ago. in it's heydey, the port of

Scent Fountains and Powder Bowls

The use of scent and perfume foun-

made period none belonged: but to the
Josephine and Empire so much apper-

dedly on the increase, though very subtly
and without excess, now that copies of
the dresses worn at the outset of the
Nineteenth century are so much in
vogue. Some wonderful scent fountains
are being sold in Paris, and curiosities
being sought for. The history OF France
is perfumed on every page except during
the period that deals with the reign Of
Louis XIV, who had an intense hatred
for perfumes.

POWERFUL LOADSTONE.

Attracts Not Only Metals but Fl. her.
men, Dogs and Hogs.
"A deep hole of water in Nolynn creek.
ten miles south of Hogdenville, Ky, has
for some time been attracting attention
BY reason Of thes fact that it has very
strong suction: For years it has been
known as 1.-THE suckhole.'' 1t is about
ten feet deep and about fifty yards long.
The water is clear and bottom can cas-
.ln!V be seen. This hole has been. watched
by people in that section for number Of
years, and it has also to some extent been
avoided. It now develops that it is no
''suckhole," but in the bottom Of the riv-
er it is claimed there is streak of pow
erful loadstone.
A man in that community recently con-
structed large and substantial raft for
the purpose of investigating the causes of
the suction in this particular part of the
river. 1t was discovered that the river
bottom is solid rock and that through the
center of the rock. running lengthwise, is
a black streak. 1t is about FIVE inches
This streak was examined with COM
mon fish gig and was found to be very
it took no little pulling to extricate it.
Further investigation was made. and it is
said that the streak following the bottom
of the river is undoubtedly powerful load
stone.
The hole was discovered over forty
years ago by Enoch Atterberry, who
came near losing his life in the water,
having been rescued by two men, who
pulled him out by means of long pole.
Lum Wess and Luther Trulock also
came near losing their lives in the hole
short time ago while SEEMING. They
were rescued. half drowned, by other
members Of the party. The attraction
was so powerful toward a chain on the
bottom of the seine that the seiners had
to abandon it.. The hole is not in the
main stream but is an outlet.
A dog thrown into the water never
comes out but is quickly drawn to the
bottom. When trout line is stretched
across the place the unseen energy at
tracts the hooks to the black streak and
there holds them securely until they are
drawn out. At times there is strong
undercurrent in the bayou, which is un-
accounted for and which often sweeps
the bottom clean, relieving the loadstone
of its collection.
The locality of the suckhole is getting
to be much dreaded one, especially by
the superstitious. It is known to all ne
groes as the death Hole" and farm
ers in that section find it difficult to EN-.
ploy negro help. Many cattle and hogs
have been lost.-Louisville Courier-Jour-
