Some stories of large eggs have APP

the one which now comes in from Man.
chester is destined for the present, at
least, to bear off the palm. One of the
estimable ladies of that thrifty town
is Mrs. b. G. MOsher. and among her
otter possessions about her home is d
flock of fine hens. These hens are good
layers and sometimes lay eggs of a
size that is considerably above the av-
erago. Last Friday and Saturday,
when Mrs. Mosher went out to gather
the eggs, on each occasion she found
one cgs, that was SO large that she was
prompted to measure it. The measure
ments of the first egg We're Sx6 inches,
hich is quite a good egg as eggs go,
but when the second egg was measured
it was found to lap over the other egg
by quite a margin, the figures being
0x1Ia inches. If anyone in Kennebec
county has an egg producer that has
produced an egg Of greater circum-
ference than the one last mentioned
they are yet to be heard from.

situation at present is Il novel one. The
water in the lake has been very low.

so that there is a wide strip of open
water between the ice and the shore,
leaving the great field of ice free. The
field moves from one shore to the other.

In the year $50. when influenza was
epidemic throughout Europe, many work
men contracted the disease in three
watch factories at Madretsch, Germany
and a number died At one factory III
MadretSch, however, the disease did not
appear. Investigation showed that oil OF
turpcntinc was used in the turing of tn,
metals used for Weaknesses. The Oil be-
came warm and evaporated and the
workmen inhaled the air laden with it
This seemed to protect them against the
disease. Since then oil of turpentine ha:
been always cvapOrated in that factory
on a stove and not case of influenza
has ever occurred there.

STRAW VOTE
Makes Things Look o.
K. for Boak AS Head
Consul

Los Angeles, Cal. APR. 20.-(Spe-
cial.) After caucusing until early
Yesterday morning, the Woodmen of
the World. Pacific jurisdiction, took
straw vote for head consul. On this
Boak of Denver received sufficient
votes to insure his succession TO Head
Consul Foley, unless an unlocked for
split shall occur previous to the elec-
tion.
Head Auditor f. ?. Bertschv is
one of the favorite officials OF the
convention and is practically certain
of reelection.
The movement TO remove the head
quarters from Denver to a more cen
tral point is completely dead.
The Colorado delegation is caus-
ing great admiration by it's energy
in booming that state and flooding
the hotels and town with Colorado
literature.
Many cities are making the fight
for the Women of Woodcraft head
quarters. Los Angeles and Salt Lake
City are most prominent in the strug-
gle; but the solid Colorado delega-
tion is putting up a great defense for
Leadville, the present home of the
order.
Last night it was almost certain
that |. |. Boak of Denver would be
the next head consul of the Wood
men of the World.
