For example take the ordinary farm

eggs secured are laid by small number

poor layers, just starting in. The process
is repeated the next year and socontinues
until the owner decides that the ''breed"

Many travellers have asked the ques-
tion, "Why was the measurements
4 feet 81 inches determined upon as our
standard railway guage?" The origin of
the dimension is rather obscure, but re-
cent authority asserts that Wtiffe George
Stephenson was inspecting portions OF the
old Roman wall upon which chariots
were driven he took occasion to measure
the width between the ruts worn in the
stones. As he found this to be 4 feet 81
inches across he decitied that the Romans
must have learned from experience that
this guage was the most practical and he
therefore, adopted that width. Since
then many other guages have been tried,
but none has proved more satisfactory.

nations that ranged from one cent to one
thousand dollars and there is story to
the effect that a 81, 600 stamp was Issued
This specimen is the moet valuable one

its origin owing to singular circam-

were in force. Some S65, 600, 600 we're in |

revenue stamp at that time was $50. the
higher denominations not being issued
until 1890. 1t was out of the question to
use these stamps, as the required number
would cover the document, SO special |
