affair sent home on trial. She wore II

it did not suit. 1t happened that the

The Tin1est of Manuscripts.

One of the tiniest manuscripts ever
recorded is q little Bible in walnut
shell the size of q small hens egg, an
account of which has been preserved
among the Harleian manuscripts by
Peter Bales, an EnGlishman and Il clerk
Of the chancery. 1t contained as many
leaves as large Bible and as much
reading matter on each page. With; a
powerful glass it could be read easily.
The author of this tiniest book on rec
ord lived in the time OF Queen Ellzti-
beth, and in 1915 presented her majesty
with the Lords Prayer, the Creed, Ter
commandments two short Latin pray
ers, his own name and motto and the
date all written on bit OF paper the
size Of finger nail, and set IN a ring
of gold covered with q crystal. In this

THF EGG HABIT.

Men who have grown grey headed
trying to devise ways and means ot
inducing hens to lay and then com.
pelling them to set, declare that there
is no way on earth of breaking a dog
of the habit of sucking eggs when he
once acquires 1t. An experiment was
recently tried on a dog that had de-
veloped taste of raw eggs, and if he
ever sucks another, he is worse than
an idiot dog. This dog always clean
ed out nest when he started in on it
and be always started in on it.as soon
as he found one. 1t made no differ.
ence whether it contained one egg OF
a dozen. His owner blew an egg, fill
ed the shell with spirits of ammonia,
placed it in a nest known to the dog
and awaited developments. When he
crushed that egg he gasped time or
two, fell down and writhed for nom
ent, then got breath enough to how
for ten minutes. For a week the dog
wasn't able to eat anything but milk
and would run at the sight of an egg
shell.
She-what is the correct translation
of the motto of that lovely ring you
gave me?

The We'll Conducted Mail
 Service Here

The Mail Order Depart ment is probably the best conducted Mail Order De- partment in Birmingham. Of course this should be so, for we do probably double, yes, triple the Mail Order busi- ness thatany other local store does. ltis quite natural that out of town shoppers should prefer this store because we have a larger stock, a more diversified one, and it mat ters very little what they want it is likely to be here. So they send us their orders because the entire order can be filled and sent in one package. If you live away from Birmingham we would like to serve you, if you shop by mail.

Here Are Some Notions at
 Special Prices

You can always buy Notions here at less than you can buy them elsewhere. We have told you that time and again. The department grows and we pre- sume that no other store in the South does anything like the large notion business that we do.
 The thing that makes the busi- ness so very good here too is that we not only sell, probably at less than the other stores, but the vari- ety is such that you cannot find anywhere else, say, in five hundred miles:
