First erasshopper in the East.

The first grasshopper of the season
arrived at Augusta. Me. bright and
early Monday morning. The saltatorial
orthopterous insect was securely
Gagged in a tightly corked bottle. and

explained that it came down from
North Sydney. where Ed Hughes had
caught it after an exciting chase over
a bare spot in the field. The insect
was alive and well.-Boston Globe.

Goose Envious of Hens Fame.


When the news reached here that
an ambitious hen up in New Hamp-
shire had laid an egg that measured
eight and one-half inches in circum-
ference all the poultry in the neigh
boThood got busy to beat the record.
Up to date only one notable
achievement has been reported. That
comes from Preston D. Whites brown
African goose, which, it seems, enter
ed the contest. though it did not be-
long to the chicken class
Mr. White brought the result to
town today, and it is the biggest egg
ever seen in North Attleboro. 1t is
eleven and seven-eighths inches
around the longest circumference and
ten inches around the shortest. The
egg weighs thirteen ounces.
The goose began it's laying career
in January, 1903, and the mammoth
egg was the ninety-ninth to her
credit. She is two and a half feet
high, measures five feet eight inches
from tip to tip, and weighs nineteen
pounds.

Eancies in Sleeves.

The majority of the shirtwaists of
the season are made with very fancy
sleeves. giving an opportunity for a
new sleeve chapter. One of the pret-
tiest of sleeves is a needlework coat
sleeve. with a white lawn shirring
around the top. The white lawn is
gathered in the middle and sewed to
the back of the sleeve to simulate
angel wings. They are small and
dainty and pretty.

Hat Trimmings.

Possibly the most noticeable thing
among the new importations is. the
unanimity with which milliners have
posed the bulk of the trimming upon
the backs of the hats. At a recent
showing of spring hats was a turban

velvet slightly darker around the
crown and small roses in browns
from chestnut to orange and yellow

Another Moa's Egg Found.


A moa's egg has been found in a
mining district in Central Otago. New
Zealand.
There was fall of earth in a
dredging claim and presently the
huge egg was seen floating uninjured
in the water. The discovery is the
more interesting from the fact that it
is the second perfect moa's egg that
has ever been found.
The only other perfect specimen
was unearthed by a man while dig
ging in the alluvia1 soil at the Kai-
koura mountains in the early '6Os.
This egg, which was nine inches in
length and seven inches in breadth.
was taken to England and sold for
$500.
Some idea cf the size of these eggs
may be cleaned from the fact that
a mans hat makes an excellent egg
cup for them.-New York Herald

trated in natural colors, we find that
the real name of this specimen is
the Great Northern Diver Loon.
1t is regular sea bird, living on the
northern coasts, but frequenting
large fresh water lakes in the inter-
ior for the purpose of breeding.
They are very shy and elude the
sportsman by their astonishing dex-
terlty in diving and swimming under
water. They are capable of remain
ing under from five to ten minutes.
From the very first day of their
liyes they swim and dive and seem
to feel safer in water than when fly
ing in the air.
Two birds were seen at the time
this one was killed, but the other
one escaped and has not been seen
at the lake since.
Mr.. Richards has been offered
$40 for the specimen, but he says 1T
will take more than that to buy it.

WreafIIing I'm London Of Statue of
King Charles 1.

London, Jan. 3O.-Two hundred
and twenty-six years ago today
Charles was executed by his subjects
and latter-day Jacobites observed the
anniversary as usual by placing
wreaths on the statue in Trafalgar
square. That is to say, they would
like to place these floral emblems
personally. but sad to relate the gar
lands are now always laid in position
by the rude hands of Hanoverian po-
licemen.
The reason for this is somewhat
amusing. The floral observance COM
menced some Is years ago, and all
would have gone well but for a mod
est bunch of violets placed among the
other decorations. 1t was not the
flowers but the card to which they
were attached, which caused the
rumpus. This card was the white lid
of a milliners box linked round with
deep black border. In the center
were printed in large letters the
words: Remember, oh king and
martyr we have not forgotten. Long
live Queen Mary" Next day there
was a paragraph in all the papers
calling attention to the "disloyar' in
scription, and when parliament met a
question was put to the home secre-
tary. The consequence was the plac-
ing of Jacobite wreaths under the
censorship of the office of works,
where all tributes now have to be
sent.
