HARD TO GET CONDOR EGGS
Only Seven Are Known to Be in Ex-
istence, and the Bird Itself
is Near Extinction.

The Academy of Science in Phila-
delphia, some years ago, lost an egg.
Presumably it was stolen. 1t was the
egg of a California condor, and worth
a lot Of money.
Only seven eggs of that bird are
known to exist in collections. 1t fire.
Quents the most inaccessible peaks in
southern California, and matches it's
young at dizzy heights in caves in the
faces of cliffs. Thus the task of pro-
curing an egg is one involving utmost
danger.
The species, a gigantic vulture has
been almost exterminated. Cattlemen
and sheepmen poison carcasses to de-
stroy wolves and bears; the condors
eat the bait and die.
That an ostrich egg may be danger
Gus, if overripe, was discovered
while ago by Doctor Bauer of the
Smithsonian institution. While he
was boring hole in one, it exploded,
the flying fragments cutting him bad
ly.
The eggs of some orioles are marked
with grotesque figures, often resem-
bling Chinese characters. Experts in
oriental languages have on occasions
been asked to read them, but no sat
isfactory translation has been OBJ
tanned.

FR0WN GIN TOO MUCH LOVE
Family Authorities in Japan Discour-
age Anything Like Surplus of
Conjugal Affection.

The general rule of life is that the
woman stays when her husband loves
her, but there is one little country in
the world where the women not in
frequently are sent home by their in
laws because their husbands love them
too much.
That country is Japan, we are told
by Amos S. and Susanne Hershey in
their book on modern Japan. This
paragraph, one of many interesting
ones on the Island kingdom, describes
the particular condition which some
times sends the little Jap wife back
to her own people:
I'm considering the Japanese family
one must bear in mind the complete
absence of romantic love in marriage
and the absence of romantic gallantry
in the feudal code of the Samurai If
love develops during welded life it
must not appear in open demonstra-
ton, and whenever the demands Of
duty are pressing affection must be
renounced for the higher duty. Indeed,
it has not been an uncommon occur
renee for wife to be sent home be-
cause her husband was too fond of
her, as too much affection for wife
was considered a sign of weakness
and decentralization in the husband,
which might lead to neglect of other
family obligations. Of loyalty and chiv-
airy there was plenty in Bushido or
the Way of the Warrior-but it was
always between lord and vassal, mas
ter and servant, and never included
women, at least not during the last
ten centuries"

Famous Egyptian Queen.

Aames Nefertari was the great an
cestress of the New Empire at Thebes
in ancient Egypt, 100 B. G. This dy-
nasty, the eighteenth, was that of the
ThOthmes' mighty warriors and build
ers, and of the famous Hatshepsu-
Pharaoh, woman Pharaoh and dis
cOverer. On the rock-tablets of Mas
sarah opposite Memphis on the Nile,
and in the sepulchral chambers of the
Theban Metropolis, this great woman
is remembered as ''the beautiful con-
sort of Aames," and as ''the wife of
the god Anon" (Amon-Ra). On her
head she wore not only the crown
of Egypt united, but the vulture head
dress signifying motherhood, for the
"vulture" was the symbol of Nut, the
second person in the Egyptian triad
of gods at Thebes-Amon, Nut, Khon-
SUI.

Lands in Texas.

The federal government never
owned any of the public lands in Tex
as. It was a republic for some years
before it entered the union of states.
When it came into the Union it was
stipulated by joint resolution of con-
gress, passed March 1, 1916, that Tex
as was to retain all vacant and un-
appropriated lands within it's limits to
be applied to the payment of the debts
and liabilities of the said republic Of
Texas" etc. The state established
its own land Office, made grants to
railroads, etc., and made its own set
Element laws.

Somebody of an inquiring mentality
and a good stock of patience has been
examining the personnel of the United
States army and makes the interesting
discovery that whereas there was only
one George Washington in the army OF
1776 there were seventy-four George
Washingtons in the army of 1917-1918.
Two Ulysses S. Grants and five Ulysses
Grants took the field against Prussian-
ism; and with them marched seventy
nine Robert E. Lees, an impressive
tribute, by the way, to the enduring
quality of the affection and admiration
that the great southern general in
spired.

photo taken on his Tooth birthday
His childhood and early manhood
were spent in and about the village OF
Alfred. In 1841 he came west in COM
| pany with Duty Green and Jesse Saun-
ders, and two years later came to Al
bjon and took up a homestead, the
farm now owned by his son Orville.
He began operations on that farm in
1916 and the following year was united
in marriage to Sarah A. Benjaman (de-
ceased) and to this union were born
two sons, Elverton and Orville j., who
still survive him.
He left the farm and moved into the
village of Albion in 1889, where he
made his home until the time of his
death. Some seventeen years after
moving to the village, on account of
his own advanced age and the declin-
ing health of his companion, he found
it convenient to call his older son, FL
verton, to his home to look after them
in their declining years.
He experienced religion when but
boy and early identified himself with
the Albion Seventh Day Baptist church
and at once took a deep interest in the
prosperity of that organization. He
helped to draft the plans for the pres
ent edifice and aided in drawing the
lumber from Fort Atkinson for it's con-
struction. He also took special in
terest in the spiritual prosperity of
the church, grieving deeply, in his
later years, as he saw what appeared
to him to be decline of spirituality
among the members. He had strong
and abiding convictions in matters Of
Christian conduct, and expressed him
self freely and clearly on those sub
jects when at an advanced age. He
was loyal supporter of denomina-
tional interests as long as he felt they
were right. He read the papers and
followed national affairs, especially the
varying fortunes Of the late world war,
until he passed his hundredth birthday.
He maintained his hearing and eyesight
to remarkable degree up to about a
year ago. He kept his mind and was
able to express his thoughts clearly
until he was past one hundred and one.
He loved Gods great out-of-doors and
took much pleasure in riding about the
country with his sons in the auto, and
was able to take such a ride only eleven
days before his death.
He settled in these parts when the
hand of man had left but few marks
upon it. His post office was at Milton
where he often went on foot for his
mail His market for his farm pro-
ducts was Milwaukee, and his best
means of transportation was his team
and wagon, requiring four days to make
one round trip. Few in these days
have the privilege of seeing and realiz-
ing such marvellous changes and such
extensive progress as he has witnessed,
and fewer still live to his ripe old age.
The community has lost an honored
and respected citizen in the departure
of this, the last of the early pioneers
of this place.
The funeral services were held from
the home of Elverton Painter Thurs
day afternoon at 2 o'clock, and Rev.
C S. Sayre was the officiating pastor.
The body was laid to rest in the Ever
green cemetery.

In almost every part Of the British
