Largest Egg In The World. The largest egg in the world has recently been on exhibition in the Museum of Natural History, New York. It is the egg of the gigantic extinct bird called Epyornis, which formerly lived in considerable numbers on the Island of Madagascar. This was a huge wingless creature, the largest and most formidable bird that ever trod the earth. In life it has been variously estimated to have stood from seven to twelve feet in height, possessing massive and powerful limbs. This great bird surpassed the ostrich, the king of modern birds, both in size and herculean strength, though it closely resembled in build all the members of the family of which the ostrich is a type such as the emu of Australia, the extinct moa, etc. The epynoris egg is six times larger than that of the ostrich, having a capacity of two gallons, or the capacity of 150 hen eggs. Here are some of the astonishing dimensions of the big egg: The shell is about one-eight of an inch thick, the lengthwise circumference is two feet eight inches, and two feet two inches round the middle. Though termed a fossil egg, it is not petrified or turned to hard stone as in the case of dinosaur bones. It is in a surprisingly perfect condition, unbroken, and has a yellow color, although finels pitted in places. The contents have not been removed, as tney have turned to a fine dust whicn comes out when the egg is handled through a small natural perforation on one side. The Christian Herald.

D aysey Mayme Discusses Kiss. The kiss, allopathic or homeopathic, and when properly applied, is so universally discussed of late that it is Daysey Mayme Appleton reminiscent. "Wives," she said, "are making as much commotion over the kiss that isn't given them, as well brought up and modest young women should make over the Kiss that is given them. "I wish to ask my audience (consisting largely of her mother) which protest is the more important: The protest of the young woman because a young man insisted on kissing her, or the protest of the wife because the husband insists on refusing. 'T wish also to ask which is more sincere: The scream of indignation from the unmarried woman, or the scream of indignation from the wife. "I am not married, and know nothing of the tragic humiliation of having a husband leave the house to be gone as long as six hours without giving a farewell kiss. A meiciful providence has saved me from such an overwhelming tragedy, but the life of even a Spin is not without its harrowing experiences. "I recall a villainous young man whom I had not known more than two weeks who brought me home one evening from a party. It was moonlight, and it is said that moonlight is responsible for many crimes. That 1 do not know, bat 1 do know that he kissed me! "An innocent girl like me! 1 shrank from him in horror and the villain realized when he saw the look of comtempt in my eyes that he had gone too far. "Panting with indignation, I strove to collect myself sufficiently to express the scorn surging in my bosom, seeing in his looks that he was thinking of the beating r.e would get next day from my father and brother, and of the long illustrated accounts of his crime and punishment that would appear in the newspapers. "He turned to go. I struggled to speak, with my mind made up that I would express my contempt for his action though the emotion killed me. " 'When I asked in a low, faltering voice, full of deep-seated hatred, 'are you cominjg again?' " "Cheer up, the worst is yet to come!" cried the out-of -season jester. "It has come!" replied his companion, sadly "What, do you mean it? An addition to the family?" exclaimed the cheerful idiot, "Well, I congratulate you, old chap. SpleYidid! But you ought to be happy, not wretched. Surely you don't grudge your small visitor the little place it will fill in your home and in your wife's heart eh? A splinter of hu

manity, a sunny tpecK irom neaven: wny, it i could only have such a darling wee voice in my own house -have such a winsome tyrant to obey -such soft, chubby, dimpled little arms to pat and pinch""Look here, you idiot!" retorted his companion angrily. "Do you know you're talking about my mother-in-law?"

An Oklahoma editor was mnch interested in a scientific note he encountered in an eastern paper, to the effect that if the earth were flattened the sea would be two miles deep all over the world. The editor reprinted this note with the following comment: ' . "If any man is caught flattening the earth, snoot him on the spot. There's a whole lot cf us in this state who can't swim. Success Magazine.

The Little Grave.

A little mound of earth Is all the land I own; Death ffave it me five feet by three, And marked it with a stone. My home, my garden grave, Where most I long to go! The ground is mine by right divine, And heaven will have it so-

a For here my darling sleeps, J Unseen -arrayed in white 5 And o'er the grass the breezes pas?, 3 And stars look down at night. M Here Beauty, Love and Joy, With her in silence dwell, 4 As eastern slaves are thrown in graves Of kings remembered well. 3 But here let no man come, A My mourning rights to sever, m Who lieth here is cold and dumb, 3 Her dust is mine forever!

Some Wives Like Cackling Hen. If the old story about the hen that cackled, clucked and flopped and threw herself into what these days would be fashionably called 'nervous prostration" because the little ducks she had hatched went swimming were madej to suit human conditions she did cluck and cackle and flop when the little girl ducks swam off, saving all this windmill emotion in which females are prone to indulge, for the moment when she saw the little drakes step into the water. For those of the sex of the hen are always satisfied to let those of their own set go as nature intended. Their mission on the bank is to correct anything in the male sex which doesn't meet with their approval. A woman doesn't approve of what a man eats nor the way he eats it. She reads the latest novel, mistaking wha'; is latest for best, and looks on him as one who is not well read because in his rare moments for reading he reads the good and the old. She turns to the society news in her paper and he turns to the sports in his, and largely because of his preference she classes all sports under the heading of vulgarity. Because she prefers a dough-f aced Madonna to his duck hunting scene, she believes she has a higher sense of the artistic, which is strengthened when he makes fun of her kind of poetry and laughs at sandwiches tied up in ribbon. It is she wno makes the barefoot dance both possible and permissible, and wails at his blindness to the grace and beauty of motion when he says the bare human foot wouldn't look good if each toe were bound around with a bow of baby blue ribbon. The colors in a tree appeal to her and the lumber in it appeals to him, and all the clucking, cackling and flopping in the world won't change him. She is chagrined because he is awkward in society, forgetting that the awkward man in society is usually the thorough-bred in business. She demands that he be an ideal host, though she knows he would rather eab alone at the kitchen table than preside at the most bountiful meal if company is there, and calls this dislike to disemble cordiality as "boorishness" and "inhospitality." She reveres the chafing dish, and believes he lacks all social grace because he has a higher regard for its Cinderella sister, the frying pan. He remains fond of the friends he enjoyed when his income was half what it is, and because of this fondness she charges him with lacking social ambition. He hates crocheted things and she knows it, but the day he tells her of his love she gets out a crochet needle and begins something for him, and this crochet needle is in evidence the rest of his life. He remains to the end very much as the Lord made him, and to the end of the chapter she nags, and pinches, and moulds and touches him up here and there trying to make him over. Why? Because she is firmly of the opinion that if she doesn't stand on the bank and cluck and cackle and flop her wings he will get drowned. And she does all this because she "loves" him. The Way To Look At It. Don't make the mistake of weighing advertising by what it costs. It is impossible to pay too much for advertising-if it pays. Nothing is cheaper than costly advertising that brings big, profitable returns. Nothing is more expensive than "cheap" advertising that brings no results. If a newspaper charges you 50 cents a line, and every line brings you a dollar profit, you have got a regular Klondike. If a newspaper charges you 50 cents a square foot and you never heard from it, you ar j pouring money into a rat hole. Advertising is merchandise. Buy the kind you can make a profit on, no matter what it costs. Have nothing to do with the unprofitable kind, no matter how low the price is.
