About Cgga, 1M a hen's egg only one-fifth of the substance Is nutritious, one-ninth part Is refuse, and the remainder.. the great er portion, is water. White shelled eggs ore uot quite as good as yellow ones, for they contalu a trifle more water and a little less fat But your purveyor knows this and fre quently colors his white eggs with cof fee. Judged by the amount of nutriment, a goose's egg Is the most valuable. Next In order are (lucks', guinea fowls', hens', turkeys' and plovers^ Eggs con tain a large quantity of sulphur, wlik-li Is purifying to the blood mid good for the complexion. To get the best egg you must feed your fowl on grain, and to cook It In the most digestible way you must not boil the water. Heat tbe water to 180 degrees and leave, the egg in It for ten minutes. You jvlll then digest every morsel. But If you boll It for three minutes no less than one-twelfth of It will fall to be digested. Thus If you cat two eggs boiled-for three minutes every day you waste 'five dozen in a year.—London Mall. Tha Leopard and tha Pan. One day a worthy Kulu housewife came out from her cooking and, stand ing on the ledge of rock at her door, emptied a pan of boiling water Into the rank herbage growing below. It fell, splssh, on the back of a sleeping leop ard, who jumped perpendicularly Into the air as high as the roof of the hut. What might have happened next? Who can say? But the astonished wo man dropped the pan with a clang up on the rock, and .the leopard took one leap downhill. The pan followed, and the leopard's downward leaps became longer and swifter as the pan bounded after It from rock to rock. When last seen the leopard had Just achieved a leap of about 3S0 feet to the very bottom of the ravine, thou ssnds of feet below, and the panvhad whirled about 000 feet over It on the opposite side. The leopard/would have eaten the old woman with pleasure, but a pan which first scalded half the hide off htm and then bounded clanging in his wake from the top of the Hima layas to the plains below was some thing which he could not face.—Lon don Chronicle. A Mexican Tradition. "BoyB, what's the matter? Fever? Die, then die, then." That's the Bong tbe doves slug down In old Mexico when a native has penumonla, and almost Invariably he lies down, refuses to swallow the medicine prescribed by tbe physician, resigns himself to his fate and In a few weeks he dies. The dove, however, sings the song in Span ish. It Is a trndtUon among the Mex icans that once the fever accompany ing an attack of pneumonia seizes them It is necessarily fatal, and be cause of tbls all medicine and all phy sicians are refused and tbe Mexican usually dies. The dove brings the story of death in its weird cooing, ac cording to the belief of the natives, and many who have been seized with the fever who otherwise might have recovered have succumbed owing to their belief In the tradition. That is the reason, It Is said, why penumonla Is fatal to so many Mexicans.—New York Herald. Knew tho Sound of Wood. There was au urgument-on a- cricket field In a village near Nottingham, England, which Interrupted the game' for some time. Tbe match was being played between tbe local tradesmen of the village. All went well until the bowler, who was tbe village, con stable, a man over six feet tall,' sent a ball which bumped up from- the ground and bit the village butcher, who was batting and who was ex ceedingly fat and perspiring freely, on the bead. The wicket keeper, a re markably tblu and agile man, who was the village grocer, caught the ball and yelled, 'Ow's that?" "Hout!" shouted tbe" village baker, who possessed only one eye. "HI say now!" roared the fat butch er, who refused to have It so. "But hit 'It me on the 'eud." "HI don't know where hit 'It you," responded the umpire, who was-the village undertaker, "but HI knows the sound of wood, when HI 'ears hit, so bout you go." Tho Tricksters. "Political tricksters alwaya give themselves away," said a congress man. "Their methods remlud me of tbe two men who wanted to sell their corpses for dissection. These two men, miserably clad, called on tbe deau of a medical college in New York 'We are both on the verge of star vation, sir,' tbe spokesman said. 'We are well on In years, and It Is clear that we haven't much longer to live. Would you care to purchase our bodies for your dissecting room!' "The dean hesitated. "'it Is an odd proposition,' he mut tered. "'But it Is occasionally done,' said tbe spokesman In an eager voice. 'Well,' said thet jlean, 'wei.mlght arrange it What price do yon oslt 'Over In Philadelphia,' said the spokesman, 'they gave us $40.' "—New York Tribune. Not So Bad as She Feu-ad. "George," she whimpered as-she crept a little closer .tuid .placed her bead against bis left iiand second story vest pocket—"George, I want to ask you a question, a very important one. Why do you allude to papa -as a pirate? Surely you must havfftome good rea son for doing so?" "I have, Indeed!" responded George, with a dreamy, faraway look In bis eyes. "Pirates board people, you know, and 1 expect your father,. If my plans work all right, to eventually board me." "Oh, how clever you are, George! Do you know, I was awfully afraid you were going to get off that ancient chestnut about his being Buch an old freebooter, and I'm so glad you didn't because all the fellows 4've had have said that, and I waa longing for some thing new." A Natural Croaa. One of the most beautiful natural rock carvings In the world la the Southern Cross, on tho island of Grand Manan, In the bay of Fundy. It atanda at the head of a ledge of rocks Jutting Into the bay from tbe foot of one of the Immense cliffs at the south ern end of the Grand Manan. Its shape la that of an almost perfect cross. Corroborated. "Though many people think BQ who bear me play," said tbe long haired amateur, with atudled carelessness, "I have no Intention of becoming a pro fessional musician. I play merely to kill time." "I knew that as MOD as I heanl yoo," enigmatically replied one of bis listeners.—Kansas City Independent. J1 Palling Jn Leva, I do BOt dOubt that as the woilB jftw a deepfet'Sense bf: moral responsibil ity In the matter of marriage will grow up among us. But It will not take the false dlreetlou of Ignoring tliese om profoundest nnd holiest Instincts. Mar riage for money may go, marriage for rank may go. marriage for position may go, but marriage for love, I be lieve and trust, will last forever. Men In the future will probably feel that a union with their cousins or near rela tions Is positively wicked thnt a union with those too like tbeiu lu person or disposition Is at least undesirable that a Union based upon considerations of wealth or nuy other consideration save considerations of Immediate natural* impulse Is base and disgraceful. But to the end of- time they will continue to. feel In spite of doctrinaires that the voice of nature is better far than tha voice. of the lord chancellor or the royal- society aud that tbe Instinctive desire for a particular helpmate is a surer guide for the ultimate- happiness bojh of tbe race and of the Individual than any amouut of deliberate consul tation. It Is uot the foolish fancies of youth that will have to be got rid of, but the foolish, wicked and mischie vous Interference of parents or out* sldere.—Grant Allen. Piibiro Panance. la former times persons guilty of grievous nnd notorious offenses were acquired to make open confession and, further, to make satisfaction for the scandal given by their bad example by doing penance publicly In white sheet in their parish church. The sheet was used to show clearly to every one which was the offender. The last time that public penance was done In an English church was on Snntlay even ing, July 30, 1882, when a man .natned Hartree, in tbe church of All Saints East Clevedon, made an- open confes. slon of immorality and promised to perform the' penance thus Imposed on him by the vicar. No white sheet was used on this occasion. The last case In which one was used appears to have been one In St. Bridget's church, Ches ter, In 1851, but on that occasion the penai.ee was not public, the church door being locked. In the previous year, however, public penance In a white sheet was done In a country church In Essex, and a- similar thing occurred In Dltton church, near Cam bridge, In 1840.—Stray Stories. An Unaxpactad Chock. A man who won a'reputatlon for cool daring and almost eccentric fearless ness along a thousand miles of the southwestern border wns A. L. Par rott, at one time a sergeant In Mc Nelly's company of Texan rangers. One night in 1873, about six months after Parrott left the state service, he was sitting In a bouse In a little town In southwest Texas playing chess with a friend, it was a warm night, and tbe chessboard was on a table close to fin open window. Parrott bad the white men. His queen was In ~a direct line with the black king, but a black knight was between the two pieces. It was Parrott's taove. Suddenly there was a sharp report outside, and a bullet whis tled In through the window, bit tbe black knight and buried Itself In the wall. Parrott had been bending over the board, and tbe bullet was evidently Intended for his head. But for a few seconds he did not stir. He saw the black knight suddenly vanish. Then In his peculiar, drawling, hesitating way he said, Rata on Ships. "Are rats destructive? Well," said a captain of a merchantman, VI once knew them to get through £5,000 worth of stuff lii five days. "Japan does, an immense tradi with China In cocoons and'the ftrst time I carried sueh a cargo they were packed in sacks. When we got to Hongkong we found that the rats had discovered thai part of a cocoon was good to pat, and'the'bill for their hoard came to £6,000. The shipowners' were Sued fdr that amount but, the packing being considered faulty, the claim was dis allowed. It waB the first and last co coon feast the rats had, for ever'since Japan has packed cocoons In zinc lined cases. "Every time a ship gets back to Liv erpool a rat catcher Is set to clearing out the rats, but by tlie tlirie we li&ve loaded up again the rodents are every bit as numerous. In some ports we use rat guards on Uie ropes, and the ship is always fumigated before taking a cargo of fruit or tea. But there *ls no getting rid of them entirely."—London Graphic.

"We have lots of curious 'last re quests' from patients who are %bout to have operations performed,"' sal& a nurse In the women's surgical' Ward of one of the New York hospitals, "but I thought about the last word had been said on this subject one day last week when one of my patients before going to the operating room called me to her and asked me to write two postal cards to her bUBbatid so that she might' slgil'them before the 'operation.

"Then we are go ing to buy one of those gypsy wagons they have over there. They are too awfully Jolly for words, don't you know. They are quite wide, have bunks, a cunning little kitchen and sitting room.

It has been my lot to see In arctic regions some hundreds of thousands of Icebergs close At hand, and I have always believed tbem to be tbe most beautiful objects on earth, but the clouds of tbe. sky, close at hand, are almost 11B beautiful. If you mount above one of these majestic things, swiftly overtopping one by one its folds and wreaths, and If remembering how high it Is you look down and see only small green patches of earth through holes in the cloud carpet be low, you have a little thrill of con ception of how lonely a man would feel falling away down there and not being ob* to see the spot where he must alight, it Is a safe Uttlc thrill, however. You know that you are not going to fall. Such dizziness as some persons feel In standing near great ^eights on the earth la almost un known in ballooning.—Albert White Vorse In Success Magazine.
