GREAT AUK’S VALUABLE EGG
One Recently Sold at Auction In Lon.
don for sl,soo—Bird Is Now
: Extinct.
| R
' An egg of the great auk, or gare
fowl, a bird now extinct, was sold at
auction in London for a sum equiva
lent to $1,500.
Not all great auk's eggs are alike.
In length they vary from four and one
eighth inches to five inches. The
greater number found have a white
ground, but others are of various
shades of buff. In some cases the
markings are spots, shown in blotches
or lines.
| Tt is said that no living auk has been
Seen since 1844. The birds were ex
' terminated by the ruthless traffic in
[ their eggs and skins, although their
‘ numbers, especially on the Newfound
land and Labrador coasts, where once
they were very numerous, were great
Iy reduced by their wholesale slaught
er for food.
' The most remarkable characteristic
, of the great auk was it inability to fly.
| Its wings were scarcely more than
fins, which aided the bird in swim
~ ming.
f Doubtful Success.
! Much excitement was caused a few
weeks ago in Calcutta by a particular
ly insanitary and evil-smelling tank
i suddenly changing to a perfumed one,
; glving off the refreshing smell of
lemon.
| To the natives this portended the
! coming of a great Indian goddess, who
! would arise out of the water; so the
" pllgrims gathered in thousands to
have their sins washed away and dis.
eases cured. A guileless youth also
| had been selling this holy water at
five rupees per bottle, which is equal
to 6s. Bd.
' But soon afterward it was discov
ered that a large consignment of es
| sential oils, belonging to a firm of
perfumers close by, had got smashed,
and afterward leaked into the tank
The natives now feel rather uncom
fortable at the thought of having
drunk the dirty water. It is to be
hoped that they will know the smell
~of holy water next time they meet

Woman Boss of Lumbermen,
Mrs. Mary Gregory of Damariscotta,
Me,, is the first woman to have charge
of a gang of lumbermen. She is the
mother of six children and - until a
few months ago did all the work of
cooking and caring for a gang of 22
woodsmen besides her own family.
Finding that she had still many idle
hours on her hands, she applied for
work as woodchopper. She soon
proved hersgelf such an expert chop
! per and sawyer that a few weeks agc
she pitted herself against the bhest
two men of the camp. She not only
did more work than either of them,
but more than both together. It was
soon after this that the owner of
the lumber camps appointed her hoss

‘ Sculptor’s Rise to Fame.
| August Rodin, president of the Socl
ety of Sculptors and Painters of Paris,
which recently sent a traveling collec
tion to this country, is of peasant
stock and has been compelled to figut
;the academic art schools every inch
of the way to his present place as the
most famous contemporary sculptor.
He studied drawing in a private school,
but was unable to gain admission tc
| the Ecole des Beaux Arts becauss of
his unacademic methods. He worked
away in a dingy apology for a studio

Motorists ‘'have a great treat iln

of the greatest benefit in many of the

WHITE PIGEON BROUGHT LUCK
Perched ocn Wheel Box of the Fishing
Beat and Gave It Fine Maid
en Trip.
It is one of the pet beliefs of the
fishing fieet folk that when a white
bird flies aboard a ship at sea good
luck is bound to follow. And if a
white bird happens to fily aboard &
brand new craft it insdres the vessel
with all kinds of joy forever. Out on
Georges, two weeks ago today, a little
pigeon fluttered down om the deck of
the good ship Mary, perching on the
wheel box. Result—good luck. Al
though Capt. Whallen’s boat struck
mighty hard weather, it came through
without a seratch and landed 130,000
pounds of mixed ground fish, mostly
hake and cusk, which & pretty near-
Iy the record catch for a malden trip.
The pigeon locked as thotgh it had
had some pretty hard luck itself before
it fell in with the Mary, however. One
of its wings was badly torn, as though
a gull or a hawk had taken a plece out
of it. The men aboard took good care
of the pigeon, giving 1§ plenty of food,
although they made no attempt to con
fine it to any one par{ of the vessel.
The bird made friends with every one,
especially the cook, and refused to eat
except out of the men’s hands. As the
Mary came np the harbor this morn
ing, the bird was adeck. Abreast of
Governor’'s Island he suddenly took
wing and flew away. The men safd it
looked to them as though the bird had
recognized his surroundings in the in
ner harbor and had flown for home.—

TENDERNESS TO THE AGED
Those In Their Helpless Years Should
Be Treated With Kind and
Gentle Regard,
Nothing ia more heautiful or Chris?,-l
like in the character of ii¢ young
woman than a kind and gentle regard
for the old. They whose failing stes s
are slowly descending the sunle:s
slope of age have but one consolation
as the years speed by them, and that
is the tenderness and consideration of
those on whose llves the heauties of
the morning are breaking. Age is a
seagon of physical infirmity, of men
tal retrospection, of shattered dreams
and earthly disappointments, No more
for the old 18 there a glimmer in the
rolling starg, no more freshness in the
spring, no more a triumph in the
years. The thousand melodies of the
present sound far off to their aged
ears and its charms are blurred in the
ears and eyes whose tears fall on the
graves of old affections. Treat them
gently, for their travail and their sac
rifice are yet the posgsessors not only
of existence in the world in whose
splendors ye exult, but also for the
prosperity and happiness we thought
lessly enjoy. Never mind if she or he
be old and feeble and of humble garb
—they look to you in their helpless
years to ald with gentle courtesy their
tottering steps. God's blessing will re
ward you if you do.—Catholic Uni

Meaning of “Kalamazoo.”
A contraction of an Indian phrase
descriptive of the stones seen through
the water in its bed, and which, from
a refractive power in the current, re
semble otters swimming beneath the
surface. Such is the explanation, and
the only one, as far as I know, that
has been given, of the meaning of the
word Kalamazoo, and the author of
this remained unknown to me until a
short time ago, when 1 accidentally
discovered that it was H. R. School
efaft. . . .~ 'The lact s that the
alleged word negikanamazoo given by
Schooleraft is a deliberate alteration
by him of kikalamazo, written by the
French at a period when some dialect
of Ojibwa, to which the word belongs,
was sftill using the letter 1. It is a
slight (very slight) alteration of old
Ojibwa kika'amozo, meaning “he is in
convenienced by smoke in his lodge.”

Pedigree of the Horse.
Geologists have finally completed a
distinguished genealogy for the horse.
Here is the list, with the geological
eras in which each lived, as arranged
by Prof. W. N. Rice:
The line of descent begins with
Hyracotherium and Eophippus of the
lower Eocene age. Then follow Pro
torohippus and Orohippus of the mid
dle Eocene, Epihippus of the upper
Eocene, Mesohippus of the Oligocene,
Anchitherium of the lower Miocene,
Parahippus, Protohippus and Pltehip
pus of the middle and upper Miocene,
and finally Equus of the Pliocene and
the Quaternary, from which the mod
ern horse directly descends. Hip
parion and Hippidium represented an
cient. gide branches that died without
descendants,

Perhapsg the most interesting, surely

The little temple i 8 of pure white
