thoughtfulness bestows, but which must
sometimes be denied in an institution
where there are many needs to be filled.
The old men and women at the Little

appreciate the diversion of Thanksgiving

day can be made brighter for them, too,
if the people of Milwaukee are thoughtful.

MATCHING OSTRICH EGGS.

Ostrich eggs are being Matched in an in

ing il being carried on at a store Of
Creushaw Bros. on upper Franklin
street. Thirteen fine ostrich eggs from
the recently established Tampa ostrich
farm have been placed in an incubator
and they will hatch off some time early
in May.
1t takes an average heat of lO1 degrees
and forty five days Of constant exposure
to such heat to develop the germ in an
ostrich egg and hatch young ostrich.
The eggs are worth 500 each, and it is a
conservative estimate to say that the
young bird will be worth more than
twice that money after it has passed the
first month of its existence.
Some idea Of the size Of the eggs may
be gathered from the fact that the
Mandy Lee" incubator, which is being
used for the hatch, would hold 40 aver
age hen eggs. Fourteen of the ostrich
eggs would fill it completely. An emp
