“In Him we live, and move, and

St. Faul, an educated Jew, is
talking to learned Greeks in the

not bring God to them, but argues
that God has been always with
them. This is true also for us.
Our life is lived in the presence of
God, and we can live better lives
if we remember that God is al

THE FARLEY-ZUBER WEDDING.
The Farley-Zuber wedding that took
place in Seattle a few days ago,
is described in the Seattle Times,
as follows:
A pretty wedding was solemnized
last evening at 8 o’clock, when Miss
Marguerite Farley became the bride
of Dr. W. Edward Zuber of Ketchi
kan, at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Otis A. Sargent. Rev. J. D. O.
Powers officiated in the presence
■of a large number of friends
The rooms were decorated with
fresh foliage and with white car
nations. An arbor, before which the
party stood, was made of huckle
berry branches. Long wax tapers
furnished the light.
Preceding the ceremony, Mrs.
Ralph McCullough sang “Because”
and “I Love You Truly.”
Miss Hedda Sargent was the
bride’s only attendant. She wore a
gown of pale blue voile over a
white silk drop, made in the em
pire fashion. She carried a shower
bouquet of roses and pink sweet
peas.
The bride wore an imported gown
of exquisite white crepe de chine.
The short round length skirt was
made with t"’o flounces, and was
accordion-pleated. She carried a
shower bouquet of bride roses and
lillies of the valley. The best man
was Mr. C. D. Thomas.
Among the guests were Judge
Edward E. Cushman of Tacoma,
Mr. and Mrs. W. T. James of K|dp
chikan, Sergt. and Mrs. John Bruck,
Senator and Mrs. J. H. Bingham of
Eugene, Ore., Mr. and Mrs. C. D.
Draper, Mr. and Mrs. William May
ors, Mrs. Lausa Kurtz, Mrs. Ralph
McCullough, Mr. and Mrs. R. L.
Thomson and Miss Martha Winkler.
The bride was formerly of New
York City, the daughter of a well
known marchant, and it was while
on a visit to Alaska several years
ago that she met Dr. Zuber, who
had practiced at the capita] and
elsewhere for several years.
Dr. and Mrs. Zuber will make an
indefinite stay in Oregon, where Dr.
Zuber has property interests, and
upon their return to Seattle will
be at home temporarily at the
Hotel Calhoun.

GERMANS CLAIM SLAV
LOSSES ARE ENORMOUS
BERLIN, April 4.—The Russians
in their offensive of the fortnight
on the Eastern front have lost at
least 80,000 men in killed and
wounded, according to an estimate
made by the Transocean News Bu
reau, the semi-official German
agency. The statement says:
“The fruitless attacks of the Rus
sians in which sixty of their divis
ions have participated against Field
Marshal von Hindenburg’s front are
continuing. The Russian casualties
so far are estimated at not less
than 80,000 men on a front of 1201
kilometers (about 75 miles.)
“The German positions are so ex
cellently fortified and provided with
so many machine guns and cannon
that it is considered that the Rus
sian attacks are doomed to failure.
The German lines have not been
shaken.”

TRULY WONDERFUL
NEW BREED OF HENS TO
LAY TWO EGGS A DAY
That there are hens with a two
apartment egg factory, is shown by
a report from Leesville, Ohio. The
report says:
Two months ago when Mr. and
Mrs. John T. Timmons, the former
being known as the blind author
and naturalist, decided to move
from Cadiz, Ohio, to Leesville, they
decided to sell all their poultry ex
cept four hens which they decided
to keep to supply the table immed
iately previous to their moving, and
all the hens were disposed of but
four. The next evening one of
these was killed, and the following
day when there were but three
hens left in a coop which was clos
ed on account of cold weather, four
eggs were found in the nest.
This was looked upon as strange,
and close watch was kept by Mr.
and Mrs. Timmons, and on three
more occasions prior to their mov
ing away from Cadiz, one of the
remaining hens laid two eggs in one
day, and once she laid two eggs
within a few minutes of each oth
er. On the following day she laid
one egg.
The hens was taken to the new
home in Leesville, where she has
on two occasions repeated the per
formance of depositing two nor
mally sized eggs, very much alike
in shape and weight, in the ness
within a few minutes. This hen
is a cross between Rhode Island
Red mother and Barred Rock roost
er.
Other chickens were hatched at
the same time this hen was brought
into the world, and Mrs. Timmons
in dressing one of the other hens
discovered that the fowl had two
distinct, well-formed lay pokes
wiih eggs in each, and this caused
them to think that had had the fact
been known and the hen watched
she. too, might have laid two eggs
'n a day.
It is thought by a number of
persons interested in the matter
that a breed of fowls might be
created that would lay two eggs a
day regularly.
One very noticeable feature in
connection with the foregoing is the
fact the two-a-day hens does not
lay as long as other hens before
she wants to set, but she deposits
about the average number of eggs
in a layer before the brooding no
tion sfnkes her.
HIGH PRICED EGGS.
A flock of one hundred hens pro
duce in egg shells about one hun
dred and thirty-seven pounds of
chalk annually, yet not an ounce
of this substance is found around
a hen’s feeding ground. Pebbles,
stones, brickdust, bone, etc., are
eagerly consumed by hens and oth
er birds, and out of these the egg
shells are manufactured. Of all
birds now in existence the ostrich
lays the largest egg, but relatively
to its size the kivi, a strange, wing
less New Zealand species of os
trich, is the champion, with an egg
not less than five inches long, al
though the bird itself is only 27
inches long- The epiyornis egg
measured nine by thirteen inches
and a good specimen is worth about
one thousand dollars. The epiyornis
existed in Madagascar hundreds of
thousands of years ago, but its
eggs have been exhumed from
drifting sands of the southern por
tion of the island. This bird is
supposed to have given rise to the
fable of the roc in the “Arabian
Nights.” A good specimen of the
great auk’s egg sold for $1,500,
There are just sixty-eight of them
known to be in existence, of which
America possesses three—one at
Washington, one at Vassal- College
and one at the Academy of Natural
Sciences in Philadelphia. The auk’s
eggs were five inches long and two
or three inches wide, and weighed
about two pounds. One would make
an omelet for a good-sized family.
