Eggs at s120O a dozen is rather a high price, even for New York.
 Nevertheless that is the record which has just been set here, and with only a quarter of a dozen of the expensive eggs availabN at that. The eggs, however, are not the pro- duct of the great American hen, but of the swan which makes its home in one of the lakes of Central Park. Their value lies in the fact that they are the eggs of a black swan, which are almost as scarce as hens teeth. Various offers of S100 apiece for the three eggs have been received, but the park authorities have refused them all. Black swans are worth from $500 to $500 each, and 1t has accordingly been decided to let Mrs. Swan set on the eggs in the hope of some ebony cygnets. Accordingly for more than five weeks there will be anxious waiting, since there is no means of predicting whether or not the birds matched from the valuable eggs will be black. If they are not the speculation in eggs on the part of the park authorities will be worth less, since $25 a pair is a fair price for young swans of the ordinary kind, If one egg produces black swan the speculation will break even, while any further success will show a hand some profit. One fact which has caused the keepers some anxiety is that while the male white swans share with the females the task of keeping warm the eggs, the male tx ,f, ance to his mate. She is being closely watched, however so that if she shows any tendency to neglect her duty, artificial means may be i'm mediately adopted to insure the hatch ing of the most valuable eggs on record.

With the first warm days the city's gigantic ice cream industry is blos- soming forth once more. New York eats something like 200,O00 gallons of ice cream every hot summer day, which at the average price of one dollar a gallon. gives literally cool s20O,000 as the amount of money spent for this frigid pabulum during a single period of twenty-four hours. One firm, employing 400 men and 100 girls, turns out 4,0OO gallons day, while the great hotels and res taurants make their own creams and there are no end of small private manufacturers, many of which supply the cheap 'hokey- -pokey' which has no cream in it at all, or ice either, but is composed of condensed milk, water and flavoring. There are 150 different varieties of ice cream, but 40 per cent of the ordinary sales are plain vanilla, and even in the high class resorts only four or five kinds are much called for. And the ice cream isn't all eaten in New York. Several houses ship all over the eastern states and to Cuba, while steamers are provided with supplies sufficient to last in good condition on voyages to Europe and back and even to Australia and the Orient

A PERTINENT QUERY.

A grumpy old owl was he;
He sat on the limb OF a tree,
And he watched at the hole
OF a soft, fluffy mole.
He hoped he could eat, don't you see.
He thought the mole was a rat.
And what are you thinking of that?
And he watched until morn
For the rat to return
To make his repast sure and pat!
Some of the children of men
Have scarce as much sense as hen
And they'll watch al the hole
OF burrowing mole
And wait till he cometh again!
Some of these fellows betimes
May be making clustering rhymes,
And expecting to win
Both the glory and tin
The pla udits of ages and chimes!
Some are as far out of plumb.
AS the owl We've mentioned, by gum!
And they'll never strike oil,
Though for ages they toll.
Perhaps of this number we're some!

PAINT EVERY YEAR.
No One Wants To Do 1t, But Som.
Paint Will Wear No Longer.


When you have a job of painting
done you don't expect to have it done
over again very soon, but to make a
lasting job several things must be
taken into consideration-the proper
time to paint-the condition of the
surface-the kind of materials to
use, etc. All these matters are fully
covered In the specifications, which
can be had free by writing National
Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Build
ing. New York. and asking for House
owners Painting Outfit No. 40. The
Outfit also includes a book Of color
schemes for both interior and exterior
painting, and a simple instrument for
detecting adulteration in the paint
materials. The outfit will solve many
painting problems for every house
owner
Meantime when buying paint see
that every white lead keg bears the
famous Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark, which is an absolute guarantee
Of purity and quality. II your paint

All these superficial things faded
into their proper background when,
at last, his eyes looked full In her
face. Reddish brown hair that doubt
less had been combed into some re-
semblance to the prevailing fashion
Of the pompadour, had fallen in a
natural part on the right side and
lightly swept brow not too high, but
white and thoughtful. Her other fea-
tures-the delicate nose, the full lips,
the perfect teeth, the fine chin-all
were lost in the eyes that looked
frankly at him. As he gazed he was
conscious that he feared to hear her
speak; surely her voice would betray
her masculine quality.
She had seated herself again, and
now made movement that suggested
drawing aside of her skirts to make
place for some one at her side. And
then she spoke.
''Will you sit down, Senator Yer
non? she said, with a scrupulous re-
gard for title unusual in woman. II
must make a convert of Senator Yer
non, you know" she smiled on the
other men about her. Her accent i'm
piled that this conversion was Of the
utmost Importance. The other men, of
whom she seemed to be quite sure,
evidently felt themselves under the
compulsion OF withdrawing, and SO
fell back in reluctant retreat.

CHAPTER III.

The surprise had leaped to Vernon's
eyes again at the final impression of
perfection made by her voice, and the
surprise changed to regret of lost
and irreclaimable opportunity when
he reflected that he had lived for years
near this woman lawyer and yet never
had seen her once in all that time.
When Miss Greene turned to look him
In the face again, after the others
were gone, Vernon grew suddenly
bashful, like a big boy He felt his
face flame hotly. He had been medi-
tating some drawing-room speech; he
had already turned in his mind pref
ty sentence in which there was a dis
Greet reference to Portia; Vernon was
just at the age for classical illusions.
But when he saw her blue eyes fixed
on him and read the utter seriousness
in them he knew that compliments
would all be lost.
Il am one of your constituents, Sen
ator Vernon" she began, "and l am
down, frankly, lobbying for this reso-
luton"
"And we both," he replied, "are,
believe, members of the Cook county
bar. Strange, isn't it, that two Chi.
cago lawyers should have to wait un-
til they are in Springfield to meet?"
mot altogether" she said. 1T is
not so very strange-my practice il
almost wholly confined to Office work:

l am more of counselor than q bar
rister. l have not often appeared in

am-well, just little timid in that
part of the work.
The femininity of it touched him.
He might have told her that he did
not often appear in court himself, but
he was new enough at the bar to have
to practice the discrimination of the
young professional man. He INDUCED
himself in the temptation to allow her
to go undeceived, though with q pang
he remembered that her practice, from
all that he had heard, must be much
more lucrative than his. Something of
the pretty embarrassment she felt be-
fore courts and juries was evidently
on her in this her first appearance in
the senate. but she put it away; her
breast rose with the deep breath Of
resolution she drew, and she straight.
ened to look him once more in the
eyes.
But about this resolution, Senator
Vernon; must not take up too much
of your time. If you will give me
your objections to it perhaps may be
able to explain them away. We
should very much like to have your
support"

enjoy it's cool petals and its fragrance.
On one of the leather divans that
stretch themselves invitingly under
the tall windows on each side of the
senate chamber sat a woman, and
about her was little group of men,
bending deferentially. AS he passed
within easy distance one of the men
saw him and beckoned. Vernon went
over to them.
Miss Greene" said Senator Martin,
"let me present Senator Vernon of
Chicago"
Miss Greene gave him the little
hand that looked yet smaller in it's
glove of black suede. He bowed low
to conceal surprise that had sprung
incautiously to his eyes. Instead of
the thin, short-haired, spectacled old
maid that had always, in his mind,
typified Maria Burley Greene, here
was young woman who apparently
conformed to every fashion, though
her beauty and distinction might have
made her Independent of conventions.
Physically she was too nearly per-
feet to give at once an impression of
aristocracy; but it was her expression
that charmed; it was plain that her
intellectually was of the higher de-
grees.
AS Vernon possessed himself he
was able to note that this surprising
young woman was clad in black trav-
~1s,
From her spring hat down to the toes
Of her boots there was nothing in her
attire that was mannish, but she was
of an exquisite daintiness wholly
feminine and alluring.

the remaining votes from the other
side. And so the steering committee
had given the word to put it through
for him. Then the other side, seeing
a chance to place the majority in an
embarrassing attitude before the peo-
pie, either as the proponents or the
opponents Of such a radical measure
whichever way it went in the end
had been glad enough to furnish the
additional votes. The members of the
steering committee had afterward
whispered it about that the resolution
was to die in the senate. Then every
one; especially the women of Illinois,
had promptly forgotten the measure.
AS Vernon thought over it all he
picked up the rose again, then laid it
down, and idly picked up the card.
Turning it over in his hand he saw
that its other side was engraved, and
he read:
