 CURIOSITY! 



An Egg of the 



»<c 



We have just received a lot of these 

 curious eggs from the Pacific. They are 

 the first of the kind that we have ever 

 seen, and may never be able to obtain 

 another lot. The following description 

 will give one an idea of what they are 

 like: Size, about 4 in. by 2 in.; color, 

 brownish-black to Iilack, but their 

 greatest peculiarity consists of a thin, 

 ribbon-like brown ruffle about i in. in 

 depth, which spirally extends from one 

 end of the egg to the other, running 

 four or five times around the egg. 



Should you desire one of these "great 

 curiosities, order at once; we will send 

 them prepaid, carefully packed in 

 strong wooden boxes, at the following 

 low rates, viz.: 



One Specimen, - - - $ .25 



Five " - - - 1.00 



Twelve " - - - - 2.00 



Should our supply become exhausted 

 before we receive your order, your 

 money will be refunded.
