of hairpins collected on the paths Of

The largest nest in the world is built
by the mound bird, sort Of Austria
liam fowl. 1t makes mounds some
times $50 feet in circumference, In
which it buries its eggs five feet deep.
The heaviest bird that flies Is the
great bustard. In size it exceeds the
Norwegian blackjack. The old males
weigh about 50 pounds, but when food
is plentiful the young males may
weigh 40 pounds. Great bustards were
formerly as plentiful in western
Europe as cartridges. Now they are
rarely found.

PARTRIDGE EGGS.
Said to Be More Nutritious Than the
Birds Themselves.


"Few persons are aware Of the fact"
said well known physician, 'but it is
true. nevertheless, that the egg of the
partridge is one of the most nutritious
things i'll the world. They are not used
for eating purposes except in very rare
cases, and then it generally happens in
remote rural districts. l have known
negro famiAes in the state of Louisiana
during the laying season to live on the
eggs of cartridges. And they would
flourish handsomely and grow fat on
account of the rich properties of the
eggs.
'These eggs, of course, never find
their way into the market because they
are never taken from their nest except
by such persons as I have mentioned,
and they rob the nests, l suppose, be-
cause their principal food supply comes
from this source. Quail meat comes
pretty high in the market at all times,
and the average man will find it more
profitable to spare the eggs and wait
for the birds when the hunting season
rolls around. These men would pass
100 nests in one day without disturbing
an egg. The sport of hunting the birds
is an additional incentive.
''The average negro does not care so
much about this aspect Of the case. He
figures that the white man, having the
best gun and the best dog, will beat
him to the bird. So he goes after the
egg. One partridge will lay anywhere
from IL to 20 eggs, and nest is good
find. know of many families in rural
sections who feast on these eggs in the
laying season. have tried the egg
myself as an experiment. 1 found 1t
peculiarly rich. 1t has good flavor, is
very palatable and in fact is altogether
very fine thing to eat. Really be-
lieve that the egg has more nutrition
In 1t than the fully developed bird, but
Of course, as one Of the men fond Of
the game in the field, would like to
discourage the robbery Of the nests."-

Why Do We Remember Certain
Things and Forget Othersi

Why Do We Remember Certain
Things and Forget Othersr
The vagaries of memory are some of
the most interesting of those connected
with the human mind and body. Why
do we forget certain things and re-
member others? Myriads Of these ir-
regularities are as yet unaccounted
for. Perhaps not even the cleverest
metaphysician will ever account for
them.
Professor James reminds us how
something which we have tried In vain
to recall will afterward, when we have
given up the attempt, "saunter into
the mind" as Emerson says, as inno-
Gently as If it had never been sum-
moned.
Again, bygone experiences will revive
after years of oblivion, often as the
result of some cerebral disease or acci-
| dent.
Such a. case is the one quoted by
Coleridge Of young woman in Ger
many who could neither read nor write,
but who was said to be possessed of a
devil because, in fever, she was heard
| raving in Latin, Greek and in an OBJ
scure rabbinical dialect Of Hebrew.
| Whole pages Of her talk were written
| down and were found to consist Of
sentences ineligible in themselves, but
not having the slightest connection
with one another. To say that she was
| possessed of a devil was the easiest
way of accounting for the matter.
At last the mystery was cleared I'D
by physician, who traced back the
girls history until he learned that at
| the age of nine she was taken to live
at the house of an old pastor, a great
Hebrew scholar, and that she remain
ed there until the pastors death. 1t
had been for years the old mans Gus
tom to walk up and down a passage
near the kitchen and read to himself
In loud voice.
His books were examined, and among
them many of the passages taken down
at the young woman's bedside were
identified. The theory of demoniacal
possession was abandoned. = Youths

DiIutinG Tea.

Few housekeepers remember, as they
should, that when it is necessary to
dilute strong tea it should be done with
water at the boiling point. The poor
flavor Of tea, made strong at first and
then reduced, such as is too often serv-
ed at receptions and Eat homes" is
usually caused by the addition of hot,
not boiling, water to the first infusion.
A lesson in this matter may be had
from the Russians, who serve the most
delicious tea in the world, and who pre-
pare it first very strong, making it al
most an essence Of tea. This is diluted
to the strength wished, with water
kept boiling in the samovar. This
water is not allowed to boil and reboil,
but is renewed as needed. Freshly
boiled water is insisted upon by all
connoisseurs in teamaking.

The Right of Defense.

In the course of trial an English
judge is reported to have said: "The

ed man upon such an occasion that
tence upon Adam before he was called

ed thee that thou shouldest not eat?
And the same question was put to Eve

Ceilings and Ventilation.

Rooms with low ceilings or with cell
ings even with the window tops are
susceptible of more perfect ventilation
than those with high ceilings. In such
rooms the leakage at the windows,
which is constantly going on, keeps the
air in motion throughout the room,
whereas If the ceiling is higher only the
lower part Of the air is moved, and an
inverted lake Of foul and hot air is left
floating in the space above the window
tops. This lake, under the law Of DIFF
fusion Of gases, keeps actively at work,
fouling the fresh currents circulating
beneath If

1t is curious to notice the great num-

When FTenchmen Were Germans.
The name of France is derived from
the Franci, or Franks, people Of Ger
many who seized that part Of the
country nearest the Rhine and settled
there. Later on they subdued Paris
and made that the royal seat of their
increasing empire.
The origin of other geographical
names is interesting and will serve to
enlighten us when we read Of, for in
stance, Hibernia for Ireland. Hibern1a
is said to be derived from a Pheni-
clan word meaning 'tfarthest habita-
tion," there being no country known to
them west of Erin.
Portugal obtained its name from Por-
to, the haven or port where the Gauls
landed their stores. This Is Oporto,
called by the Portuguese o Porto (the
porD. The town was given as a dowry
to Teresa when she married Henry de
Lorraine, who styled himself Earl Of
Portugal because the place was known
rs the portus Gallorum Ghe port of the
Gauls). The name was finally extend
ed to the whole country.
Russia took its denomination from
the Rossi, or Russi, a people of the
south of Russia, who possessed them
selves of the country in the declining
days of the Greek empire Being the
predominant inhabitants, they imposed
their name on all the rest.
