H ave you got any eggs?

Have you got any eggs?
Such was my inquiry Of Custer mer-
chant few days ago, and with look
of astonishment on his face he answered
me: Eggs, what are they? What do
they look like? What shape are they ?"
"Well," l said, "I am in hurry, but
later on will describe the commodity I
mean" Being at leisure, will do it
now.
Eggs, as we once knew them, were
the product of hen. The hen is a
domestic fowl of great importance in
the economy of the world. Eggs are
triangular in shape with the corners of
the triangle rounded. They are some
times called chen fruit" on account of
their shape, as they somewhat resemble
a fruit called the pear. But there the
resemble ceases as they have no stems
and never saw tree, although their
respected parents may have done so, as
there are times when they realize the
fact that the price of liberty is to roost
high. Eggs contain an albuminous sub
stance which is coveted by man, and
they are considered when in their
prime) as a healthful and nutricious
food. They have a covering or shell
composed of precipitated calcite, other

| wise called lime. These shells are easily
broken, as some of our unpopular polit-
ical speakers have experienced to their
great discontinue. However, when an
egg is very old it becomes very offensive
both to the taste and shetland it is
henceforth good dfor nothing but to be
cast out and trodden under foot of man.
Still they are not to be trod upon with
impunity, as they are pretty sure to re.
taliate by too free distribution of their
malodorous wealth.
may say, in passing, that the hen
has no monopoly in the production of
eggs, although commercially, we usually
look to her to maintain the supply. All
birds lay eggs and they vary in size in
proportion to the size of the parent
bird-and these vary from the tiny
humming bird to the gigantic ostrich.
All birds are possessed of degree Of
intelligence, it is said; and yet the eggs
that produces the bird, has no inteili-
gence. How is thisP 'Tis a problem
that the wisest men of earth have never
solved. A growth takes place in the egg
and soon chick is formed, and that
chick has sense enough to break out of
Jail, thing that our criminals often at
tempt but on an average less success
fully.
The color of the egg is white, except
on Easter morn, when small children
delight to stain them in all the varied
colors of the rainbow. There are many
puzzing questions to be asked concern
ing eggs and some that our philosophers
cannot answer. For instance: What
bird laid the first egg? When and
where did she lay It? And then, the
hardest question of all, where did that
bird come from? But all we want is
the egg, even though we know SO little
about it. Every hen cackles when she
lays an egg. And who shall say that
she is not justified, for she has performed
a miracle and it is her hour of triumph. |
But what about the male bird-the |
rooster? Don't he cut any figure in the
egg business? Yes, in a way, but he
don't bother his head about eggs. 1t is |
his task to make the sun get up in the
and he is perfectly sure that
no sun ever dared to rise above the hill
Until he had given the signal and pro-
claimed its coming. That is what makes
he rooster SO proud; and if he has
made no mistake in his calculations, he
las right to be proud. 1t is getting to
,e a common saying that, "As man
hinketh in his heart, so is he" Why
hould not that saying apply just as well
o rooster. You know the rhyme:

Vessey was cut in some sections of the

The State brand commission closed its
fall meeting at Pierre, after passing upon
l2S brands which had been filed since
the last meeting of the commission.
The results of this meeting show a
record of 1904 brands in use in the
State. While the big herds are being
broken up, the owners of few head of
cattle appear to consider the brand prop
osition to be the best one for identified
ton of their cattle in case they should
stray or be stolen, and the number of
brands are more likely to increase in
stead of diminish by the breaking up of
the free range.

RESULT OF THE BALLOT.
Republicans Lose State Senator and Reg.
lister Of Deeds.

Tuesday was an ideal day for an Elec-
ton. The total vote polled in the Coun-
ty was about 75 less than two years ago.
There was a great deal of scratching
done. The ballots were so mixed that
it took all night for the judges to can
vass them. In this precinct the princi-
pal fight was for State Senator and a
spirited canvass was kept up the entire
day. Several candidates had no opposi-
ton, which accounts for the election of
80 many emocrats. The defeat of w.
w. Olds for Register of Deeds was a sur
prise to all. Denis Henault was elected
State Senator by about 80 majority. The
official canvass may change a few fig
ures. D. Carrigan elected County Com
missioner in this district by a majority
of 54.

Of GOOD AND BAD EFFECT
Frenchman's Idea Is That Names
Have Distinct Influence on Char
acter of Child.

Onomatology is science or game
exploited of late by a Frenchman Of
scientific leanings-M. de Rochetal.
Onomatology deals with the effect OF
names on characters. M. de Rochetars
idea is that. Shakespeare netwith-
standing, there is a good deal in a
name, and that the name giveE to a
child at birth in some measure de-
termines his or her character. Cali.
ing ones offspring Abel for instance,
means that the child will develop into
bandit. Emile, Armand, Pierre,
Rene, Louis, Jean arer excellent
names. The Jules have special ap-
titude for politics. the Henris are CHI
valrous and generous, the Edwards
energetic and preserving.
There are names of evil augury,
such as Alice, which denotes senual
temperament, subject to gloomy ideas
and suicide. Helen is another. From
her of Troy onward the Helens have
generally ended badly, says M. de
Rochetal His studies, he thinks, will
be useful to parents and also to those
about to marry, for, as the inventor
seeks to prove in his pamphlet, where
as Juliette and Pierre will go well in
double harness, Albert will inevita-
bly, fall out with Suzanne or Blanche
and Marguerite will not get on well
with Henri.
