those of the owl and the tortoise, are
spherical, or nearly so; few. like the

majority, like the hens, are ovoid, or

most Eggs that are the most unsym-

relatively to the parent bird. The
yolks of eggs are spherical, whatever
the form Of the entire egg may be.

THE CONFEDERATE SOLDIER.
An Incident That Marked His Spirit

and independence.
In his "Glimpses of the Confederate
Army" in the American Review of Re-
tiews Randolph Ii. McKim writes:
ut seems to me as look back that
one of the things which stood out
strongly in the Confederate army was
The independence and the initiative of
the individual soldier. 1t would have
been better army in the field If 1t had
been welded together by a stricter dis
cipline, but this defect was largely
ttoned for by the strong individuality
of the units in the column. 1t was not
easy to demoralize body composed Of
men who thought and acted in spirit
Of independence in battle.
"As an illustration of the spirit of
the private soldier l recall an incident
to this effect. Major General Gordon
had organized a strong column to make
n night attack on Grants lines at Pc
tersburg. When he was ready to move
and the order to advance was given a
Big Texan stepped out of the ranks

General Gordon, this column can't
move before a. m. The men have a
truce with the Yanks, and it amt up

hour, The private in the ranks had
taken command, and the major general
recognized his authority"

Flower Perfumes.

A garden full of flowers Is more fra.
grant when Swallowed by cloud than
when bathed In sunshine: at least that
is the conclusion TO which experiments
of a French scientist lead. He asserts
that It is light and not, as commonly
believed, oxygen that exerts the great
est influence in desortying odors. Ac-
cording to the same authority, the in
tensity Of the perfume given of by
flower depends upon the relation be-
tween the pressure Of water In the
cells Of the plant, which tends to drive
out the essential oils that cause the
odor, and the action of the sunlight,
which tends to diminish water pres
sure In the cells. Sprinkling the plant
increases the turgescence and as a
consequence more copious production
of perfume At night the air round a
flower bed is heavy with odors. be-
cause then their emanation Is not op-
posed by the sunlight. - New York

There is in Germany what Is known
as the German Pedigree Book" or
"Deutsches Geschlechterbuch." The
purpose of the pedigree book, accord
ing to a Berlin correspondent. is to
record the ancestry not of mobiles,
but of bourgeois persons who can
prove that they are of genuine middle
class or working class ancestry and
have no noble blood in their veins.
The editor explains in his preface that,
while many German mobiles "out of
court and material considerations have
not kept their blood pure, there are
many good business class families
which have managed to do So" By
thus encouraging the proper pride of
such families the pedigree book is do
ing much to eradicate the traditional
envy of the mobiles.

There was an discontinued bishop
In western Ontario, who was constant
ly finding himself in awkward situa-
tons, on account of his extreme alb

was travelling from London In a north

conductor approached him that he had
forgotten where he was to go. The
conductor suggested that he telegraph
from the next station and find out his
destination. 1t was before the days Of
long distance telephones. and the
bishop telegraphed to his wife from
the first station. Where was I 60
