MODERN EGG COLLECTIONS.
Tremendous Cost of Representative
Displays Today.

From the New York Post.
The collection of eggs is fad as old as
the hills, and is as popular today 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 ac-
COrdingly. At one time collection which
included the common birds of the state or
division of the country was considered
among the first rank Today such a collec-
ton would be laughed at as a boyish play
thing. The regular collectors desire TO rep
resent 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 a half century
ago. is now worth anywhere from 81 500 to
5000. The egg Of the dOdo which lived
formerly in Madagascar, is worth several
hundred dollars. 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 81, the great Swiss eagle IS, the
snow eagle s., the Greenland falcon So, the
Louisiana kite so. the Filipino fish agile
so. and the fish hawk 81. In fact, 1t may
be said that eagles eggs average 81, fall
cons eggs 81, hawks eggs 81, owls eggs
81 and Kites eggs So. The eggs Of the
grouse and partridge family are very pref
ty in their markings and command good
terms. They range all the way from &
cents for the egg of a common ruffed
grouse up to that of the Canadian grouse at
10 cents. There are 1870 humming birds
whose eggs are in the market, and al
though 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 cheapest is worth a sin
gle cent, while one species of the wild duck
costs s.. There are said to be 10000 col
lectors in the United States, and the col
lectiOns run from 1000 to $1,000 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 hum
ming bird, the size of pea, and the larg-
est is that of an ostrich. The center Of
the trade was formerly in New York, but
1t is no longer. The merchants say that
the business has been broken up among
fifty cities.

and every possible arrangement made for
both indoor and outdoor sports, while the
baths are now among the most finely
equipped in this country. These improve
ments, added to Capon's natural advan-
tages of beautiful surroundings, ideal cli-
mate, the great medicinal value of its wa
tiers and a social atmosphere the unsur-
passed charm of which has been acknowl-
edged for over a century, all promise TO
more than carry out the prospect that the
present season will be one of the most sue
cessful ever known in the history of the
place. quite large company is already
assembled here. with numerous additions
daily.
Among the prominent arrivals of the
past week are Mr.. and Mrs. w. S. Camp

CAPE r MAY.

CAPE MAY, N. j., June q, 1902.
The summer season at this resort opened
in big blaze Of glory tonight. The cot
tage colony has fully settled here and all
the hotels are now opened for the season.
There has been ones continuous round of
pleasure all through the week, owing to
the fact that a number Of meetings have
taken place on the golf links and at the
club house throughout the day and about
the cottages and hotels in the evenings.
In these events the guests from Washing
ton have participated largely and they are
leaders in all that is going on.
Over at the mammoth Stockton Hotel
things are particularly lively, owing to the
presence of the 800 or more Washington
correspondents, accompanied by their
wives, who are here as guests of the Penn
sylvania railroad, and who will remain un-
til Monday. Their coming here is an an
nual custom which has been carried out
by their hosts for many years past To-
morrow night big ball will be given in
their honor, and it will not only be well
attended by the members of the journalistic
party but also by the cottage and hotel
guests.
The Fourth Of July program is assuming
shape and the event will be celebrated by
the combined committee of residents and
visitors. There will be liberal display Of
fireworks in the evening from the beach
front. and series of lawn sports in the
morning. 1t has been decided to do away

Indian Dances.
outhern Workman.

From the Southern Workman.
The Omaha is the only dance now prac-
ticed among the Sioux; the war dance died
with the accession Of peace; the sun dance
has long been frowned upon by the Great
Father and the ghost dance has been per-
emptorily forbidden ever since the trouble
springing from it in that unhappy fight at
Wounded Knee in the early winter of 1891.
But the Omaha, danced frequently upon the
reserva ton, has not been actually forbid
den although the Indian agents in general
disapprove of il, and so far as is possible
discountenance its perpetuation. 1t is prim-
arily social function, with this unqualified
disadvantage that 1t tends toward the con-
tinuance Of that state of society known to
the Indians during their days of barbarity:
that il emphasizes uncivilized delights and
that it has nothing in common with the
civilization toward which we are trying to
lead the red man. Every time the Omaha
is danced the dancers are drawn more
closely to the old lives and the old ways;
a reverence for the customs of their an
cestors is enkndIed within them, ard what
ever refining Influences of civilization may
have hitherto impressed them are, for the
time, utterly forgotten. and eventually
much weakened. 1t is the great social re-
Election of barbarism and its influence con-
not be for good.

sEABRIGHT, N. j., June q, 1902.
Seabright has resumed its air of summer
gaiety and the opening of the big hotels
this week marks the inauguration of the
season at the most exclusive resort on the
north Jersey coast. The driving and auto
MODELLING on the Rumson road were never
before enjoyed to SO great an advantage
by the summer inhabitants at this and the
adjacent resorts. This June has been I'M
usual from the fact that there has been
hardly any rain to interfere with the en-
joyment of coaching and driving, and the
famous road and Ocean avenue have
been crowded every afternoon with hand
some equipages and the putting motor
powers.
One feature of interest to Seabright In
past seasons seems likely to be dispensed
with this year In the cessation Of the trips
of the famous coach Monmouth between
Seabright and the Ross Fenton farm at
Deal. 1t is earnestly desired by the Sea-
bright visitors that touring parties be re-
sumed.
The Country Club at Monmouth Beach
opened last week. The club will doubtless
be the scene Of many interesting and fash
iorable festivities.

GREENBRIER, White Sulphur.
June %, 1902
1t is said that there are only two typical
resorts In the United States Newport and
the White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.
This last is certainly essentially southern in
its character. and one is at once impressed
by the old-time charm and individuality of
the place, as well by the picturesque
beauty of its surroundings and the grandeur
of the mountains. No American resort is
filled with such historical associations as
the old White, as 1t is affectionately
called by those who love the place. Ii was
opened in 1S0S, and was reached In those
days by stage coach, but more often by
private carriages-when people came with
retinues of servants from all parts of the
south 1t was in those days, too, a rem
devious for the Presidents and statesmen.
The cottage built for President Monroe is
still one OF the features-and is called the

tages. forming circle, as it were, some
named for people who built them and oc-
cupied them for years, but mostly called
for states.
The servant is quite a feature of this
place. for at no other resort does one see
the old-fashioned southern negro at his
best Though so typicaly southern. 1t is
worthy of comment that every year more
people come here from the north and west.
This year the first names on the register
were from New York and Chicago, followed
every day since by arrivals from Pennsyl-
rania Maryland, Washington and, indeed,
from all sections. This season promises to
revive the old-time glory of the place.

The lengthy list OF bookings, combined with
the unusually heavy list of arrivals, at the
hotels, great and small. portend a summer
OF gayefy for the visitors and Of profit for
the hotel keepers that will rank well up
among successful seasons at Long Branch.
This week sees all of the big houses open
and steady stream Of guests arriving by
every train.
The ninth annual Monmouth county horse
show, which occupies the same relationship
to the fashionable life of Long Branch and
the nearby resorts that the renowned equine
beauty show does to New York in the au-
tumn, is scheduled to take place July 81 to
20, and is creating thus early a vast amount
of interest hereabouts There are thirty
two events, and first and second prizes are
offered in every case. with the addition of
numerous special prizes. A new feature
this year is the $500 challenge cup offered
by the Patten Line for the best horse and

the same owner before it will become his
property.

What He Wanted to Say.

From the Frankfort (Kan) Review.
A few days ago Mr.. Taylor was absent
from his drug store for few minutes and
left his wife In charge. A large Norwegian
who spoke English with difficulty entered
and said:
Hi owe de firm 10 cents"
Every well,'' replied Mrs. Taylor; Just
pay it TO me and it will be all right"
The Norwegian made no attempt to pro-
duce the coin, but gazed steadily at Mrs
Taylor and repeated:
Hi owe de firm 10 cents"
Yes, heard you say that before. Now
II you are afraid l will give you receipt
for it,
In establishment the man from Norway
looked at her and walked out without a
word. Pretty soon he returned with a fell
low countryman whose command OF Eng
