Birds Eggs Too Much For Science.


1t is not often that science acknowl-
edges herself at fault in an apparent
ly simple matter, but she frankly does
so in regard to the color and marking
of a large proportion of birds eggs.
A reason there must be for their in
finite diversity; it cannot be an as-
thetic one, and all we can say with
any confidence is that the ever per-
vading instinct of distrust is probably
exhibited in eggshells as in more i'm
portant things. and the main idea in
their scheme of coloration has been
the securing of safety from many enc
mics by harmonizing them with their
surroundings. But it is a scheme full
of perpleXing exceptions, which any
one can study for himself.-Pall Mall
Gazette.

There are a certain number of simple

great men use them. TO be incompre-

vat in existence. This monster vat
recently built on the property of the
Italian7Swiss agricultural colony, a
successful cooperative concern, is cut
in solid rock, being "a feet in length.
"a feet wide, and 25 feet deep. It's
capacity is something over 100000

MRS. GOULD'S THoUGHTFULNEss

That Mrs. George Gould's thoughts
and time are not all given up to
frocks and frills, yachts and fetes
champetres, as society columns would
have one believe, high life below stairs
knows to its betterment. Mrs. Gould's
favorite waiting woman began to de-
cline. The faithful servants duties
were at once lightened, until finally
she was obliged to take to her bed.
Then it was Mrs. Gould supplemented
medical skill, with personal attention
to the sufferer. When the maids con-
dition failed to mend Mrs. Gould sent
her to private hospital, and were she
of her own blood, it is asserted, great
er comforts could not have been pro-
vided than fell to the lot of this unfor-
tunate maid. Not only did, Mrs.
Gould defray the hospital expenses,
but many delicate attentions that
money can neither estimate nor supply
went to cheer the invalid. The maid,
who. finally lost her mind, is now in a.
private sanatorium at the expense of
Mrs. Gould.

A Bicycle Romance.

A little romance has been woven
round a certain Schweigerhausen, a
German cyclist, who has appeared in
Australia with an announcement that
he is occupied on a trip round the
world awheel. Without entering into
the details OF this trip, the Australian
papers announce that the tourist has
fallen victim to the charms of a
young lady of Dunedin, New Zealand,
but stern parents have refused to
agree to any settled engagement until
he has completed the trip and earned
the e1,500 that is to come to him
thereby. Let us hope that the course
of true love will ultimately run
smoothly enough. The incident. how
ever, is not entirely novel. Mr.. Fos-
ter Fraser, of Round the World on a
Wheel" discovered his charming wife
in California when nearing the end of

Eight Roles for Popularity.

First-Remember that a good voice
is as essential to self-poss ession as
ideas are essential to fluent language.
The voice should be carefully trained
and developed. A full, clear, flexible
voice is one of the surest indications
of good breeding.
Second-Remember that one may
| be witty without being popular,
voluble without being agreeable,
great talBer and yet a great bore.
| Third-Be sincere. One who
habitually sneers at everything not
only renders herself disagreeable to
others but will soon cease to find
pleasure in life.
Fourth-Be frank. A frank, open
| countenance and a clear, CHEEKY laugh
are worth far more even socially than
'pedantry in a stiff cravat."
Fifth-Be amiable You may hide
a vindictive nature under a polite ex
terror for time, as cat masks its
sharp claws in velvet fur, hut the
least provocation brings out one as
quickly as the other, and ill-natured
people are always disliked.
Sixth-Be sensible. Society never
lacks for fools, and what you consider
very entertaining nonsense may soon
be looked upon as very tiresome folly.
Seventh-Be cheerful If you have
no great trouble on your mind you
have no right to render other people
miserable by your long face and
dolorous tones. If you do you will
generally be avoided.
Eighth-Above all, be cordial and
sympathetic. True cordially and
sympathy unite all the other qualities
enumerated and are certain to secure
the popularity so dear to every one.

SPIES ON SPIES ON SPIES.
In Turkey Everybody is Under Sus-
picion of Everybody Else.

For spies Turkey beats the world
said John H. Height, of st. Paul, who
has Just returned from trip through
the Orient before returning home. Il
know something about spies" he con-
tinued, but there are more OF them
to the square mile in the land of the
Turks than you would imagine could
be possible, and the system is evil
IDENTIFY growing. Why, there are spies,
spies of spies, without any end, as far
as l could learn.
There the government distrusts
every one and everybody distrusts
everybody else For two or more per-
sons to be seen talking together sug-
gests a conspiracy, and wherever they
are talking there are sure to be spies
to listen to them. Every officer OF
the government has his spies, and ne
is spied on. And, as the spies can't
be trusted, they must be spied on, and
! so there seems to be conglomera-
ton of amending spy chains running
through the entire empire.
Every foreigner is under surveil-

ton in the streets without unexpected
ears being strained in his direction.
For two months, wherever l went,
was subjected to annoyance by know
ing that strangers were listening to
me- and, inquiring into my business.
Once while l was slipping a cup of
coffee with an old New York friend
whom | was delighted to meet, l no
ticed long-nosed, sharp-eyed, big
cared sneak, of mixed blood and sew
eral languages, standing near by, quite
evidently listening to us.
"'Come here and take a seat if you
want to heal l said to him in a loud
voice, but he paid no attention, and
kept his place just as though he
hadn't heard me. That fellow hung
around me for weeks.
THE best way over there is always
to speak loud, converse, as far as pos
sible, on trivial subjects when in pub
lie, and avoid every sort of CONVEX
satiOn that even squints at politics.
Il don't know what the end of this
sort of thing is going to be, but do
know that the nation is demoralized
under it"

HERE'S A GOOD lip.

There was a man who longed for
fame
But wouldn't tip.
He pinned for cheers that never came
He wouldn't tip.
He put up at the best hotels
But woldn't tip.
He mixed win all the bowling swerls-
But wouldn't tip.
At Last, when getting his shoes shIned,
By some queer slip,
Or some odd caprice of his mind,
He gave tip.
The bootblack promptly bowed to
him;
bow came from bellboy slim;
A porter humbly bent his head;
The waiter bowed and served the
bread
And then the big head walter came
And very nicely did the same;
The clerk-the noble hotel clerk
Bowed down to him with gentle jerk;
And when he walked the corridor
The very grave proprietor
Unbent completely, struck pose,
And bowed until his coattails rose;
When this was seen by every guest,
Each bowed to him like all the rest;
From there the wave swept to the
street.
And folks would all bow and repeat;
OF course, this had prompt effect,
Just as a person should expect,
For interviews the journalists,
With huge lead pencils in their fists,
Requested him, in missives sage,
And ran his picture on the page
The page that all would fain be on
The very first-and ere they'd gone
The politicians came to state
That he should he candidate
And after that his fame was sure,
And would from age to age endure.
Ang when the folks all knew his name
He didn't Tip.
For he had won such lots of fame
He needn't tip.
