Kicked to Death by Fact. !"

Senator William p. Frye was once
talking to the celebrated naturalist
Agassiz, of his fishing experiences.
Among my triumphs," said he, was
the capture of a speckled trout that
weighed fully eight pounds" DR..
Agassiz smiled, and said: Reserve
that for the credulous and convivial
circles of rod and reel celebrants, but
spare the feelings Of sober scientist"
Frye insisted that he was not exag-
gerating, but Agassiz refused to be
gulled. MY dear Mr.. Frye" he said,
permit me to inform you thar Sal
valinus fontinalis never attains that
extraordinary weight. Bhe creature
you caught could not have been a
speckled trout All the authorities on
ichthyology would disprove your
claim" "All can say to that" replied
Senator Frye, sis that there are, then,
bigger fish in Maine than are dreamed
of in your noble science" The next
season, while fishing in the Maine
woods, Frye caught handsome speck.
led trout that weighed nine pounds,
and sent it to DR. Agassiz. A few
days later he tramped to the station,
where he found an epigrammatic mes
sage awaiting him from the great
scientist, which read: "The science of
lifetime kicked to death by fact.

A Valuable By-Prod uct.

A remarkable and very interesting
achievement is reported at the reduc-
tion works of the Lake Superior
Power Company at Sault Ste. Marie.
1t is the manufacture Of sulphurous
gas-which is taken from nickel ore
into liquid or sulphuric acid. This has
never before been done in commercial
quantities. The product also is Of a
quality much superior to that made in
the ordinary way, being marketable
at 800 ton, while the other is worth
only $50.
The process by which it is made is
one Of compression and expansion, an
Invention of Il. A. Sjostedt, the chief
metallurgist of the company.
Thirty tons of the liquid were made,
1t is said, in one day. When the same
company found a process by which
the sulphur separated from the nickel
ore could be saved, it solved the prob
lem which had long batIied the leading
scientists Of the world, and the 500
plant is now the only one in the world
where that natural product Is not
wasted in Observation-Disclosures

CouIdn,t Deceive the Kaiser.

AS is known, the German Emperor
evinces a keen appreciation of news
papers, but his love for them has been
somewhat modified since a certain in.
cident took place. He was travelling
from Potsdam by train, and was talk
ing on all sorts Of subjects, when of a
sudden the presence in the saloon of
an individual in the guise of a servant
of the imperial household caused the
conversation to cease abruptly.
A horrible suspicion as 10 the bona
fides of the servant flashed across the
mind of the Emperor's Secretary, who,
on iAterrogating the man, discovered
that he was a reporter who had adopt
ed the role Of a lackey in order to be
able to publish some Of the Emperors
sayings.
The punishment meted out to the
scribe was emintently characteristic
OF the ruler Of Germany. The train
was stopped at a lonely spot and the
reporter was dropped, with a walk Of
ten miles to the next station before
him.-Chicago Record Herald.

In France, more than anyN here else,
the Science of economy is carried al
most to a fine art. The common sewer
rats Of Paris are raised TO clean the
flesh from bones that are TO be used
in manufactures, but that must not be
boiled to clean them. When full-grown
rats are killed their furs are used for
fur trimmings, their skins for gloves,
their thigh bones for the highest grade
of "ivory" toothpicks; their tendOns
and bones are cooked down to make
those beautiful gelatine capsules which
our physicians often give us medicine
in, and their teeth are used for tipping
fine burnishers for bookbinders' use.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

To impart happiness is to increase it.
Opposition often furnishes insplra-

No evil can harm us as long as we

Zeal is good in the cylinders, but bad

Self-denial is the thermometer Of

Conscience has a greater commercial

MODERN EGG coLLEcrlnNs.
tremendous Cost OF Representative lIs.
plays To-day,


The collection of eggs is a fad as
old as the hills, and is as popular to.
day as ever In fact, of late years
the encroachments of science upon
daily life have given a new zest to the
pursuit, and raised prices accordingly.
At one time a collection which in.
cluded the common birds of the state
or a division Of the country was con
sidered among the first rank. To-day
such a collection would be laughed
at as boyish plaything, The regular
collectors desire to represent every
leading member of the bird kingdom,
while several hundred purchase the
eggs Of extinct and even prehistoric
birds The egg of the great Northern
aux, which died out more than half
century ago, is now worth anywhere
from $500 to $4,000. The egg Of the
dodo, which lived formerly in NADIA
gascas, is worth several hundred dol
lars. That of the dinoris, a giant
feathered creature Of New Zealand, is
worth even more.
From these large figures the prices
run down very rapidly Those of the
eagle family are as a class the most
valuable. The golden eagles egg
brings $40, the bald eagles $4, the
great Swiss eagle $S, the snow eagle
IS, the Greenland falcon So, the Louis
lana kite SO, the Filipino fish eagle
$40, and the fish hawk 81. In fact. it
may be said that eagles eggs average
81, falcons eggs $4, hawks eggs 50,
owls eggs SO, and kites eggs So. The
eggs of the grouse aud partridge fam
lily are very pretty in their markings
and command good terms. They range
all the way from G cents for the egg
of a common ruflled grouse up to that
of the Canadian grouse at 75 cents.
There are 100 humming birds whose
eggs are in the market, and although
the latter are scarcely larger than
beans they bring exceedingly good
prices, varying from % cents up to $40.
The eggs of the duck and goose family
are not very high priced. The cheap
est is worth a single cent, while one
species of the wild duck costs $5.
There are said to be 10000 collectors
in the United States, and the collec-
tions run from 1000 to $4,000 eggs. If
a collection has less than a thousand
eggs it is hardly worthy Of the name.
The smallest egg is that of the Central
American humming bird, the size of
pea, and the largest is that of an os-
trich The centre of the trade was
formerly in New York. but it is so no
longer. The merchants say that the
business has been broken up among

It's All in the Point Of View.

1t is interesting how ones own in
terests govern ones view.
l was sitting behind q group Of
women on the train who were going
out to different suburban homes along
the line. During the forty or fifty
minutes on the train these women
discussed servants, their wages, their
habits, their virtues, their failings
They told Of their troubles; they dis
cussed the pantry at length; what
things were cheapest in the market,
what fuel was best to burn. Two or
three Of them told complaining stories
Of how hard life was when one couldn't
manage this or that in a house, and
all the rest of it that goes with house
keeping.
Then very well-dressed woman got
on the train and sat down. She laugh
ingly said to one of these women that
she had been at the dressmakers for
two hours having different frocks
fitted.
When she left the train these women
said, with fine scorn: "She thinks of
nothing but dress. wonder how any
one can waste so much time on such
a subjectT
And the friend who sat with me
sighed as they all got out of the train,
and said: mo wonder men get tired
Of their wives If they talk to them
about nothing but cookery. Do they
never play golf or read a bookp
It's all in the point of view!
