The other day, however, he picked up one which certainly was a peculiar specimen. It was a sort of a Siamise twin affair„ being two good-sized eggs joined by a small tube about an inch In length: It had a soft shell, the •hen evidently finding it too much of a contract to furnish shell, and it had a most un- canny appearance. Mr, Hale intend- ed having it preserved, if possible, as a curio, Mr. Hale says he also has a duck which lays double -yolked eggs Which look more like goose eggs. A SPECIAL MEETING. The.

The bowling green claimed the attention of several, Many spent the hours of the morning or afternoon driving out into the beaut- iful country or abouts the excieelent streets of the town. A number, of course, went, to Bayfield. Some were away over the holiday, and a number just elounged", enjoying a good reef from the strenuous toil of 'bread winning,. which admits of few • enough breaks for flee majority. The baseball match in the afternoon was witnessed by a number of interested spectators. Several loads of the "younger set" drove over to Bayfield to a dance in the evening and the faithful family man remained at home and superintended the "let- ting oil" of various fireworks by':their delighted offspring.

A very successful bee demonstra- tion was held at' the apiary of Mr. Isaac Dodd on Thursday afternoon last, when Mr, J.

The keeling of bees seems to be' gaining in favor with our farmers, many of whom have found it to be a vary profitable line. • And this district „ it' said to be an exerllene place for this industry as so much clover is grown which means a first quality brand o f honey. The demonstration could hardly have been he'd at a better ,place than at the home of Mr. ' and Mts. Dodd,' who are :not only due- eessful bee keepers, but are also kindly and hospitable hosts.
