uniform dull white, but on close examination
it is found that this is merely chalky coat
ing over the surface When the coating is
removed, which is easily accomplished by a
gentle scraping with pen-knife, the shell is
discovered to be of very deep blue.
In South America there is a cuckoo that
lays similar egg; but the chalky coat, in
stead of being spread uniformly over the sur
face, is arranged in the form of a network,
the blue showing in the spaces between the
lines, so that the effect is as if the shell were
covered with fine white net As may be
imagined, it is very beautiful
The egg of the California partridge and of
its Arizona relation, the gambels partridge,
is covered with delicate pinkish bloom,
which softens and renders more beautiful the
bold markings on the shell; but the touch of
finger destroys this bloom entirely, owing
to the moisture of the skin. "A drop of water
will have the same effect.
Eggs of woodpeckers and kingfshers are al
ways of the purest white, and so highly polish
ed as to resemble the finest porcelain. Very
beautiful also are the eggs of certain small
Aycatchers, such as the wood peewee, which
have delicate buff or cream ground, ex-
quisitely relieved by an encircling band of
reddish brown or lavender spots.

Curious Eggs That Birds Lay

~ MONG the queerest birds eggs in the
IA world are those of the tinamous of
W South America, which are distantly
related to our own domestic fowls.
Their most striking popularity is, that the
shell is beautifully polished and often very
highly colored. One species lays an egg of a
deep stone color and of polish so brilliant
that it looks as if made arti6cally ont of fine
grained rock. Other species have eggs that
are pink, or blue, or green, in many different
shades.
Among the North American birds eggs, per-
haps the most curiously-marked are those
of the Hycatchers, of which the common, gray
crested flycatcher is representative type.
Their eggs have a delicate buff or cream
colored ground, varied by splashes of lavender
and other soft, neutral tints The most re-
markabe point about them, however, is that
the whole surface is marked with fine lines,
running lengthwise from end to end, and
looking exactly as if they were made with pen
and ink.
The eggs of some orioles and blackbirds are
also very strangely marked, the markings often
resembling, in very striking way, Chinese
characters and other grotesque figures.
Cuckoos, of the genus crotophaga, lay eggs
which appear, at the first glance, to be Of a

De UP TO DATE OR FAIL

A physician tells me that he
goes through his medical library
every year and throws out a lot OF
books which have become useless
to him because the new, the up-to-
date. the more progressive, are
pushing out the old.
We all know that some of the
scientific books published are use
less year after they appear in
print. There never was time in
the history of the world when the
new in every line of endeavor
crowded out the old as it does
today.
If you examine your business
thoroughly you will probably find
old-fogy methods, obsolete ideas,
and cumbersome ways of doing
things; Il lot of red-tape in your
methods.
Remember that nothing else is
improving faster than business
methods. If you are keeping
books as they were kept u quarter
of century ago, if you are using
the same business system. you
will find that you are way behind
the times.-Success

SATURDAY

Rocky Ford depositors are t

Rocky Ford depositors are bad
iy excited lest Gov. Buchtel par
don his friend, Godding, now in
prison for siuandering their cash.
Saturday the committee repre-
senting the depositors called upon
Gov Buchtel and presented their
protest against the governor issu-
ing any pardon to Godding. The
bank president was represented by
his attorney. A. M. Stevenson.
The governor was familiar with
the records of the case he having
read every word of the testimony
since the trial. 1t developed dur
ing the hearing that the receiver
has 3164.OOO or about one third of
the total liabilities of the bank.
The hearing was interesting from
various points of view. At its
close the governor invited both
sides to present all of the evidence
they had but he did not indicate
what he intended to do.
If by some means the friends of
the unfortunate banker are able to
make his shortage good they will
have no difficulty in getting nearly
all of the depositors to sign a petit
ton for the convict's release from
prison. Such is the power of
money to soothe troubled souls.

two states, namely, Ohio and Ken.

Maryland, 1900, or total OF
3, 600 in four states.
The average Of the debts for
which persons were deprived Of
their liberty was small-under $50.
