EGGS IS EACH.

The regular price of ostrich eggs In
this country is SIS apiece: and they
are dear at that rate, because, II one
tries to hatch them, they are liable to
turn out sterile.
Most OF the eggs laid by American
ostriches are hatched by means OF in
cubators the breeder being able to
persuade the hen bird to yield an ex-
ira supply by secretly pillaCing the
nest. But frequently they fail to pro
duce chicks. even with the most ex-
pert treatment. Not long ago the
Smithsonian Institute, in Washington.
tried to hatch an ostrict egg with the
help of a large Brahma hen, the egg
being half buried in a nest of sand in
order that II might be covered satis-
factorily; but this little scientific ex-
pertinent did not turn out success

\ South African egg is an exceedingly

to pay an export duty of $125. This
duty of SIPS per egg is imposed to
prevent the shipment of ostrich egg
to other parts of the world, South

profitable business of ostrich breeding
to itself as much as possible.
In South Africa, however one can
buy ostrich eggs comparatively cheap.

WORRY MAKES DISEASE.

Do you remember the old-style al
manac of your boyhoCd? Perhaps you
can see 1t, in your minds eye, occupy
ing it's place of honor beside the
often consulted, says the News-Scim-
itar.
And do you remember how you, the
boy, after puzzling over the zodiac
which invariably appeared on the sec
ond page, and laughing for the hun
dredth time at the feeble jokes, began
to read about the symptoms of disease
for which the exploited patent hnedi-
cine was a panacea?
For instance:
You read that "shortness of b cath
and palpitation of the heart after Wig
orous exercise" was a symptom of
heart disease. Sure. You had the
symptoms. And for almost every i'll
described you could find a correspond
ing diagnosis.
Only you did not worry about it
much. And in that respect you diff
fered from the adult who gets a like
idea from reading the advertisements
of cure-alls and testimonials of mar
velous recovery.
"As the man thinketh in his heart
so is he"
A man gets it into his head that his
heart does not work just right. He
worries about it. Worry prevents
sleep. 1t interferes with digestion
There is lack of nourishment, de-
rangement. Each condition aggra'

THE IDEAL CITY.

Professor Shaw of Vassar college,
thus defines the ideal city of the goth
century There is much of sense in
these simple specifications, which ap-
ply to any town.
A city with clean streets, well
sprinkled streets, streets lined with
well-cared for shade trees.
Streets and roads that are freed
from billboards.
Vacant lots now used as dumping
places turned into attractive squares.
Benches along the roadside for
weary pedestrians.
Backyards that are visions of beau
ty instead of eyesores.
Window boxes that brighten dull
walls and recreation piers on the
banks of the river.
All of these make for patriotism as
well as for civic beauty and righteous
ness.
If it is true that the boy without a
playground is father to the man with
out a job, we may we'll shrink from
looking into the future. Boys ant
girls are turned loose on the street
mischief, crime and vice result, anC
when these conditions become un
bearable, we turn to the curfew as
negative means of dealing with condi
tions that ought never to have existed

SAVE THE CHILD.

\ beautiful motto is found at the
head Of the circulars Of the Boys and
Girls Aid Society of Oregon. 1t reads:
1T is wiser and less expensive to save
the children than to punish criminals" "
And it is so easy to start boy or
girl right, If you take them just at the
flexible age, the age in which they
will respond to good teaching and
good example.
The work of saving the children
goes on quietly, unobtrusively, year
after year. and the general public
knows or cares very little how it is
done. Waits, orphans, street urchins
are picked up by the kindly societies
engaged in this work and are devel-
oped into lovable, intelligent children,
who become useful men and women.
Had they been left to their fate,
they would have received out small
pity or mercy from the world, would
have become hardened, unthinking
criminals or useless vagrants, without
hope or vocation.
Pendleton has a children's home
society. one which promises to develop
into a large and useful institution. Its
work will not be accompanied by a
flourish of trumpets but it will pro-
ceed meekly and unostentatiously
among the needy of the land seeking
out those who have need of care and
training and placing them in good
homes that are waiting for such.
1t is not a profitable business. There
are no millonaires engaged in it. II
is a business which attracts but few
people and they must have infinite
patience and be fitted for the work.
But it is a necessary work. The
world demands it. Truly, it is less
expensive to save children than to
support prisons filled with hardened
criminals. Pendletou should take an
interest in its children's home society.
1t is one of the needed institutions in
the land and will grow into a large
and vital force in the community.

Vice President Fairbanks has been

latest:

He met Representative Brownlow,

the corner Of Fifteenth and + streets,
where the vice president halted the
carriage in order to go into store.
He left Brownlow in the carriage.

Rrownlow there. sitting in state. "Hi,

CLOCKS AND KISSES.

Tell me who first invented the clocks
Chasing the hours and the minutes In
flocks.
That was some shiverng sowerful
man!
Deep into midnight his reverles ran,
While he counted the nibbling of mice
round the hail
And the notes of the deathwatch
which licked in the wall
Tell me who first invented a kiss
Oh, that was, some smiling youth
mouth full Of bliss
It kissed without thinking, and still
kissed away
Twas all in the beautiful, fresh
month Of May.
Up from the earth the young blossoms
sprang;
The sunbeams We're shining the mer-
ry birds sang.

RUSSIAN RED TAPE.

A freight steamer once came into
Mariopul, port on the sea of Azov.
which had among its cargo 100 pieces
of machinery numbered NJ from l to
100. When the pieces were unloaded
It was found that No. 81 was missing,
but two pieces numbered SO showed
that there had been an error. the
final tally being correct. But the
customs officials did not take this
view of the matter, the port being In
need of funds, so they fined the ship
500 rublcs for being short of cargo
as per manifest namely No. 81. and
1000 rubes for smuggling--havins
two pieces numbered Ss. when the
manifest called for but one.

WHIST.

Hour after hour the cards were fairly

And fairly dealt, but still I got no

The morning came, and with a mind

I only said "I do not understand"

The cards are shuffled and the hands

Blind are our efforts to control the

That, though unseen, are no less
