MODERN EGG COLLECTIONS.

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 Ststc
or a division of the country was con-
sidered among the first rank. To-day
such a collection would be laughed
at as a 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
gascar 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 81, the
great Swiss eagle IS, the snow eagle
So, the Greenland falcon So, the Louis
lana kite $40, the Filipino fish eagle
$40, and the fish hawk 81. In fact. it
may be said that eagles eggs average
81, falcons eggs 81, hawks eggs 50,
owls eggs Sc, and kites eggs So. The
eggs of the grouse and partridge fam
lily are very pretty in their markings
and command good terms. They range
all the way from 6 cents for the egg
of a common rufIied grouse up to that
of the Canadian grouse at IS 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 So.
There are said to be 10000 collectors
in the United Stetes, and the collec-
tions run from 1000 to $4,000 eggs. If
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 a
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
fifty cities.-New York Post.

Our readers have all heard of the
famous Lee Penny" the "talisman"
from which Scott gave the title to his
romance of the crusades. "Sir Simon
Lockhart," wrote Scott, latter much
experience of the wonders which it
wrought, brought it to his own country
and left it to his heirs, by whom, and
by Clydesdale in particular, it was,
and is still, distinguished by the name
of the Lee Penny, from the name Of
his native seat of Lee" But a new
combination of a similar kind has just
come into being. For on the 4th inst,
at st. Georges Church, Catford, a Mr.
Lee was married to Miss Penny, and
they were hyphened in their matrimo-
NAL announcement as ''Lee-Penny."
The coincidence is very curious one,
and if there be any talismanic virtue
in names, the union can scarcely fail
to be as happy a one as that of Edith
and Sir Kenneth, the Scotch knight

Good roads enthusiasm appears to
have run away with the arithmetic OF
Supervisor Conboy If he is correctly
quoted in Saturdays Commercial. The
public has been given from time to time
various glowing assurances of the re-
duction which could be made in con-
structing highways by using prisoners
from the jail and the penitentiary.
Supervisor Conboy has got past the
stage Of predicting a mere economy.
lie has now figured it out that the con-
vict labor plan is going to save the en-
tie cost, so far as the county is con-
cerned. This is the way the CONNER
cial quotes him: 1--WE have figured
closely and carefully, and do not think
any mistakes will be discovered. The
State appropriates half the money for
these road improvements. The county
supplies the other half Well, we think
we can do the work SO eheaply that
Athe money the State will give us will
y'be sufficient to meet all expenses with
out forcing the county to furnish any
money to meet the half of the entire
cost advanced by the State"
Isn't that clear rs city water in May?
The law provides that the State shall
pay half the cost of building roads.
The county, by using convicts, will do
the work for half the cost. Ergo, the
State will be paying it all, and the
bounty will get it's roads for nothing.
A resolution authorizing the purchase
of a stone crushing plant for $4,000 al
ready has been put in through the
Board of Supervisors.
The law provides that the State Engi-
neer may in his discretion award the
contract to the Board of Supervisors
of the county or the town board or
boards of the town or towns in which
such highway hes provided their re-
sDective bids do not exceed by ten per
cent. the bid of such lowest responsible
bidder, and except that no contract
shall be awarded at q greater sum than
the estimate" What the supervisors
evidently have in mind to 90 is to mako
n bid approaching the States estimate,
say. $1,000 a mile, and then do the
work for half that figure. They think
the State would pay half the contract
price which would be only half the
real cost. so the county would have
nothing TO pay. Even If this rosy
dream Of cheapness should be realized
it is question whether, as the law
reads. the State would not base its

AT the recent meeting Of the Indiana
state Board Of Trade, held at Indian
apolis, morning session was devoted
TO the subject Of GOOD Roads" The
first speaker was Q. w. Sheriff, Of
Muncie, who laid special stress upon
the value Of good roads to the farmer.
lie spoke Of an old fogy farmer IN
Kentucky, who resisted the building of
a macadamlzed road through his farm,
and said that II they forced the build
ing Of 1t he would sell ont and leave
the county. He had $50 acres Of fair
land, only n part under cultivation,
mostly covered with a fine growth of
poplar timber that, up to the time Of
building this road 1t was practically
impossible to market. But the road
was built, and, true to his threat, he
did sell out, at S36 an acre. The pur-
chaser Of this property sold the timber
for $500 more than the entire farm cost
him. He atterward sold the farm at
S52 an acre The entire cost to that
farm was little more than $500. $50

foolish"
"Our farmers" he continued, "have
the situation in their own hands. They
can influence legislation that will give
them ample road facilities for market
ing their grain and all the products Of
their farms at all seasons of the year.
Good roads not only give them this,
but save their horses and protract their
lives and their usefulness. They save
in tine. A load Of wheat over bad

to haul to the market and take many
pounds from his horses flesh and many
days from their lives, whereas a good
road may mean several thousand
pounds, One-half days time and flesh
and buoyant horses at night.
"Good roads add to the enjoyment of
country life. The distant church bells
on Sunday morning only cause the
farmer upon a bad road to shake his
head aud, with his family to remain
at home. How different from the man
upon the other road. A prancing pair
of horses, a happy family All points
are nearer upon a good road, as all are
. distant upon a bad one. The time is
rapidly approaching when the whirr of

are living in a wonderful age. Every
day brings us in contcat with new won

Bad roads throughout the greater
portion Of the year. In many sections
of the United States, have aroused the
people to definite action. Object lesson
roads were built last year by the Fed
eral Government IN nine States. Some
OF the older States are also doing such
work on their own account New York
has n good roads law that encourages
the building OF improved roadways by
providing both State aud county aid.
This arrangement has become so popu-
lar that the applications are long way

States have similar laws and the move

coming session of parliamentit is ne
eessa1y to remember that whatever is
done will have to be done by the Tory
Union combination. The liberals are
poWeriess to either do anything OF pre-
vent anything. This party, once 50
mighty, is now helplessly weak APP
parentIy it is in Il gallopinG decline.
All the recent efforts to harmonic the
different elements of liberalism and
radicalism, imperialist and anti-lmperi-
alist, pro-Boer and anti-Boer, have
only served to show how far apart
these factions are and how utterly ire
concilable, Sir Henry Campbell-Ban-
herman, the nominal leader, leads only
a part of this mutinous and disintegra-
ting regiment. Other bands follow, as
caprice takes them, such standard bear
ers as Rosebery, Asquith, Labouchere,
the latter being an eccentric, witty and
very able radical dyed in. the wool, who
would be sure to always have party
of his own even though he had to flock
to it all by himself. And the worst fea-
ture of this liberal disunionisf is that
nobody sees any way to overcome 1t or
has any hope of any definite time to
come when it will be overcome.
In the new session of parliament tho
party in power will be chiefly occupied
at first in getting money to carry on
the war, and, incidentally, in replying
to criticisms of their actual and poten-
tial plumbers. Later, should the war,
by any happy, unforeseen chance, come
to an end they VIII be occupied in
making a settlement of the different Is
sues it has raised, and beyond these
things not much can be expected
Quite likely, though thede will be some

put the license system on better ba-
sis and will indirectly reduce the num-

brace a plan for putting both seconda-
ry and elementary education under the
of one central authority.

VISITING MILLINERS.

An Excellent Business Opening fol
Women With Clever Fingers and a
Pretty Taste in Hats.
Said the superintendent OF a large
millinery establishment:
There has been an unusual demand
this season for visiting milliners. The
practice of going out by the day in
private houses is phase of the trade
that our young women have never taxi
en- much pains to work up, hence peo-
pie who desire to get their hats trim
med at so much per day are at a loss
to know where to pick up good all
around trimmers and modelers who are
willing to hire out on such terms, and
they come to us for information.
Now that the ice has been broken, a
good many capable girls have declared
in favor of the house toulouse system.
and they have made such big inroads
on the trade of some of the popular es-
adjustments that those houses will
have to take a new lease on their
laurels, and incidentally on their Gus
toners, if they don't want to lose
money. 1t Is strange that the public
was so slow to learn the worth of vis-
ting milliners. for they really are of
inestimable value to people with a linz
tied income, For years women who
knew that their expenses could so so
far and not an inch further have been
economizing by employing seamstresses
by the day to make their dresses, but
somehow it never occurred to them
that to get their hats made the same
way would be a good PLAN This VIM
ter, however. they have awakened to
the possibilities of the home industry
and have kept the girls pretty busy.
And it is not the families in strait
ened circumstances alone that are maxi
ing bid for visiting millineis. Well
do women like to save a penny as
well as their poorer SISTERS, and if they
can get a woman to come in and trim
up half dozen stylish hats at the rate
of $3.50 or So a day they are naturally
going to hire her in preference to pa
tronizing an expensive house.
However, 1t behooves the anxious
economist to exercise discretion i'll the
selection of a milliner. A great many
girls in this business are specialists.
Some can make frames, some can
shape, while others can do nothing but
trim. If q hat is ordered in a big store
it passes through dozen hands, but
when made at home it is necessary
that the milliner employed be general
practitioner capable of carrying the
