KIND OF EGGS THEY LIKE.
The Differing Tastes of Boston and
New York as to Color
of Shells.

Boston prefers brown shelled eggs;
New York white" says an egg dealer
Why? 1t stumps me. There are a
good many persons who insist that
brown shelled eggs have a more deli
cate taste than white shelled ones.
But if it is true that they are more
tasty, | can't understand why New
York does not insist upon them, too,
for however much the Hub may lead
us in the intellectual race, New York's
right up with the leading epicure cities
of the world in the matter of a good
table. Some people think that she
takes the lead.
There are those who think that
brown eggs are prettier than white,
and for this reason prefer them for
table eggs. Boston is nothing if not
a stickler for art 1t may be that hhe
believes that the Drown egg is mere
beautiful than the, white, and therefore
insists upon it.
''The soda counters of the two cities
tell the story of this odd difference Of
preference. In New York bowls OF
white eggs tempt 10 egg shakes. egg
nogg, etc. In Boston bowls of brown
eggs tempt to the same beverages.
AS far as diff arence of taste be-
tween the brown and the white egg
goes, it is my personal opinion that II
the most ardent believers in the differ
ence had an egg to eat which had been
broken from it's shell out of their sight
they would not be able to tell whethe
1t had brown or L white cover"

A CLEAR COMPLEXION
A Simple Home Treatment for Black
heads, Red, Rough and oily Skin
and Disfiguring Humors.


If you are afflicted with pimples, black
heads, red, rough or oily skin, or disfig-
uring humors, you viii find this simple
home treatment most agreeable, speedily
effective and economical. Gently smear
the face with the great emoIlient skin
cure, Guticura Ointment, but do not rub.
Wash off the ointment in FIVE minutes
with Cuticura Soap and hot water, and
bathe freely. Repeat this morning and
evening and you win soon be rewarded
with a skin soft, white and clear. Cuti-
cura Soap, the best toilet and complexion
soap in the world, assisted by Cuticura
Ointment, win preserve, purify and
beautify the complexion and keep the
skin in healthy condition, prevent
ing blackheads, pimples, eruptions or the
return of eczema and other skin troubles.
Used as shampoo it cleanses the scalp
Of crusts and scales, removing dandruif
and promoting the growth of the hair.
For red, rough hands, itching palms and
painful finger ends, Cuticura Soap and
Ointment achieve marvellous results, often
in a single night.

JUST A QUERY.

They fill the windows with their hues.
The rainbow is faded thing
Beside the pinks and greens and blues
That riot on the hats of spring.
The hats, of course, are 'Just too dear
But where are the styles of yesteryear?
The picture hats are gardens fair,
With blooms Of every sort and kind;
They nod and blossom everywhere,
In front and also stuck behind;
They droop in clusters Ger each ear,
But where are the blooms of yesteryear?
The hats are built of gauze and tuile,
OF every shape and form and name;
They never fashion them by rule,
For never are there two the same;
Some droop, some Jerk. some fout ant
fieer.
But where are the shapes of yesteryear?
The crowns, they say. viii tower high,
And this, of course, is rather nice,
But crowns, no matter how they try,
Can ever soar and reach the price,
No matter how they climb and rear,
But where are the hats of yesteryear?
The husbands note the handsome hats,
The ribbons ard the tulle and plumes,
The peeks, the tall ones and the flats,
The buckles and the brilliant blooms,
And then they stop to shed tear,
But where are the bills of yesteryear?

INDIANS THAT WERE GIANTS
Evidence That Bears out Capt. John
Smiths Story Of Tribe Of
Tall Red Men.

Gigantic skeletons of prehistoric In
dams nearly eight feet tall have been
discovered along the banks of the Chop
tank river, In this state, by employees Of
the Maryland academy of science The
remains, says the Baltimore American
are at the academy's building on Frank
lin street, where they are being articu-
lated and restored by the academy ex-
pert, John Widgeon (coloredl. They
will be placed on public exhibition early
In the fall.
The collection comprises eight skele-
tons, OF which some are women and
children. They are not all complete,
but all the larger bones have been found
and there are at least one complete
specimen of an adult man The exeaya-
tions were in progress for months. and
the discovery is considered one of the
most important, from the standpoint of
anthropology. Theremains are believed
to be at least 1000 years old. The for
nation of the ground above and the To-
cation of the graves gives every evidence
OF this. During the excavations the re-
mains of the camps of later Indians were
revealed. Those consisted Of oyster
shell heaps, charred and burned earth
end fragments Of cooking utensils.
These discoveries were made fully ten
feet above the graves which contained
the gigantic skeletons.
There have been other discoveries in
Maryland of remains of men of tremen-
dous stature. A skeleton was discov-
cred at Ocean City several years ago
which measured a fraction over seven
feet six inches. This skeleton was fns
TERED in regular burying mound anG
beads manufactured by white mes xt.e
found upon it. The dead Ind1an vas
probably one of the tribes mentioned BY
Capt. John Smith, who, in July, 1908,
made voyage of exploration OF tho
Chesapeake bay.
At the point on the Choptank whsre
the remains were found there are steep
shelving cliffs of sand and gravel that
extend to the waters edge. Beneath the
bank is layer of mari. The graves are
in the sand few feet above the hard
mari, and have deposits of between 20
and 80 feet of sand and gravel above
them. A peculiar feature of the discov-
cry is the charred state of the bones of
the women and children. Those. of the
men are untouched by fire. This seems
to indicate that the ancient Indian cre-
mated the bodies Of all except their war
