GflEAT AUK'S EGGS. RELIO OF THE EXTINCT BIRD SELLS FOR 81,678. Fabulous Price Paid for It at Steven' Auction In London Skeletons of the , Bird Are to He Found In Some Pub lic Mu.eumi. More thnn half n century ago tho Inst living specimen of tho great auk was destroyed. Now an egg of thnt extinct bird has been sold at what seems, per- unpa, except to scientists, to bo a fab ulous price. For It at Stevens auctions, London, $1,078 was paid. It took spirited bidding to get It at that figure. Tho great auk was a water bird, closely resembling those sea birds known as guillemots, little auks and puffins, which nro familiar to visitors at the seaside. All these species, how ever, possess tho power of flight, and hence they havo succeeded In preserv ing their lives In spite of tho persecu tion of man. But tho great auk, was pre-eminently a water bird. Its power of swimming was great, but, In spite of tho celerity of Its movements, Its Inabil ity to fly-ilnsured Its destruction.

ECZEMA'S ITOH IS TORTURE. "Eczema is caused by an add humor in the blood coming in contact with the skin and producing great redness and in flammation ; little pustular eruptions form and discharge a thin, aticky fluid, which dries and scales off ; sometimes the skin is hard, dry and fissured. Eczema in any form is a tormenting, stubborn disease, and the itching and burning at times are almost unbearable; the "acid burning humor seems to ooze out and set the skin on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter nal applications do any real .rood, for as long as the poison remains in the blood it will keep the skin irritated. SAD FORM OF TETTER.

"When the Klondike craze first started, In 1808," said a man from Cali fornia, "n veteran prospector named Peterson drifted into tho city looking for- somebody who might 'grub stake' him to try his luck In Alaska. At last a tobacconist, whom he knew slightly, agreed to stand half the expense, nud gave him a note to a race horse man, asking him to contribute tho balance. Peterson found the turfman In n gam bling house, hnlf tipsy and playing roulette. He read the note, pushed a ten dollar stock of chips on the board and said: 'I'll play these for you, -and If I enn win your stake with 'cm you can havo It.' By a rcmnrkablc coinci dence ho won three or four straight bets, ran the chips up to $200 and gave the miner tho money. Tho tobacconist put up $200 more and Peterson left on the next ship for St. Michaels. Ho was soon In tho Dawson district, suf fered the usual vicissitudes of the gold hunters In that region, and, finally, Just as ho was nbout to give up In despair, located a couple of good claims at tho head of Anvil' creek, tne for himself and one for his 'stokers.' lie developed his own prospect during the following summer, got $12,000 out of It In dust and sold the other for $18,000 cash. Then his health broke down and last spring he returned home. "Meanwhile, things hnd gone badly with his patrons. The tobacconist died suddenly In the fall of '08, his sharo In tho stake going, by custom, to his associate; but tho horseman hnd long Blnce forgotten the whole affair, If, In deed, he over remembered It after he got sober. Ho had pleuty of other things to occupy him, In the shape of n sequence of hard luck that eventually cleaned him out and left him tint broke. I know personally ho was without tho price of a nienl hnlf tho time during tho winter of 1800-1000, nnd thnt was about his condition when Peterson struck Frisco In the spring. Tho pros pector flrstJnqulred for his friend, the tobneco man, nnd learning he wns dead, started out to hunt up the other part ner. It was no easy Job, for tho brok en sport owed everybody ho knew and wns 'lying low' to avoid duns. Peter sou, who hnd never seen him but that ouo night nt the gambling house, hnd a very Indistinct recollection of his features and actually passed him sev eral times without recognizing him. Finally the mnu was pointed out In a' bar. 'Are you Mr. ?' asked the miner. 'No, I'm uot,' said tho other, thinking tue stranger wanted money. 'Aren't you the man that staked mo ono evening In 'OS?' persisted Peterson, and related tho circumstance. 'Oh, yesl' said the turfuinn, Impntlently; 'you're thnt Klondike lunatic. If you want nnotber stake you've struck the wrongBhop.' Then Peterson got mad. 'Confound your ugly picture!' he said. 'I donlt want anything from you except a receipt for $15,0001 Here's your mon ey.' The poor sport wns so amazed ho came near fainting deud awny. When ho got the facts through his head ho ran out and danced a Jig In tho middle of tho street nnd yelled 'Glory!' so loud you could henr hltn half wuy to Sacramento. Tho money put him on his feet nnd ho Is dolmr well nt nren. ent. Peterson tins returned to Dnw son City. A version of tho story has been told In print, but It wns badly garbled.
