But you might have thought the universe de- pended upon those eggs. After having given the waiter minute instructions - as to their preparation, he sat with his wateh in his hands. “Finally the eggs came, and there was a lot more powwow. As he crack- ed the shell of one he turned to the waiter and said, ‘Are you sure these eggs are positively fresh? “And the waiter, who had watery eyes and a very red nose, replied with all seriousness: ‘I really can’t say, sir. I have a frightful cold in my head.’” —New York Times. ¥ A Queer Freak. Milreau, who was said to have been connected with some of the best fami- lies in France and to have possessed cqnsiderable means until ruined by the Panama canal disaster, was one of the best friends the beggars of Paris éver bad, and to obtain funds for helping them he became a systematic thief. He used to frequent the fashionable streets uuring the day and pick pockets, and by night, dressed in ragged clothes, he dispensed the spoils to the first beg- gars he met. For years he continued the practice without being suspected, and it was by pure chance that he the police. When his lodgings were searched sufficiently empty purses were found to fill a large packing case, and it was made clear that he had stoler hundreds of watches and scarfpins, while he had been pinching and kon- triving to live a respectable man on a few francs a week saved from the ruin of his fortune. The Literary Man. When I get home where I live at I will remove my wife’s new hat from my desk and my daughter’s socks and my wee baby’s building blocks, three spools of thread. some tatting frames, a box or two of cut out games, some scissors and my wife’'s new waists, a box of tacks and some tooth paste, a cookbook and a sewing Kit, some let- ters that my wife has writ, some apple cores the kids put there, one or two wads of handmade hair, a bottle of shoe polish, too, a hairbrush and a baby shoe, some stockings that are worth a darn, a skein or two of darn- ing yarn, a picture book or two or three, a picture babe has drawn for me, a rubber ball, a piece of gum, some picture postcards and a drum. I’ll do all that when I get home and then write an immortal poem that will have Swinburne double crossed—if all my R. E. A. SHANNON, M. D. pencils are not lost.—Houston Post. Wrecks and Cats and Dogs. There is an odd provision in the English law on wrecks. It used to be that wrecks, like pretty nearly ev- erything else, belonged to the king. Sometimes, if a vessel were only part- ly wrecked and it could be raised, an oewner was averse to surrendering it, but it was generally seized for the king In accordance with the law until the question came up as to just what was a wreck. It was generally admitted that when all hands were lost that was a ‘wreck, but as they wanted to get as narrow a definition as they eould they got parliament to establish a law that in futuré nothing shall be considered a wreck out of which a cat or a dog escapes alive, and from that time until the present day ' no vessel coasts about England without earrying a cat or dog. Canvas Currency. Banknotes appear in much the same form throughout the world and have ahways done so except in China, where the earliest note was made of canvas, some six centuries before the Christian era. It was more like a tablecloth than a banknote, its length being about two meters, or six feet six inch- es. This form of note was not very eonvenient when large sums were con- cerned, so later the note was printed on parchment, and all other forms of money were suppressed. One emperor issued notes representing more than three thousand millions. But the mon- €y was never popular, and gradually the notes were retired. Charlotte Cushman’s Warning. One icy night Charlotte Cushman and Lawrence Barrett came out of the the- ater together.” The steps were danger- ously slippery, and it was with difficul- ty that they kept their feet at all. As they totteringly descended the great actress said to her companion quite in her Lady Macbeth manner: “Take a good grip on my arm, Lawrence, and #f 1 slip hold on like grim death.

The two women stopped in front of a dentist’s showcase. “Phere, mamma,” said the younger weman, pointing, “I want a set just Hke that.” “Hush, my child!” commanded her meother. “Don’t you know that it’s vul- gar to pick your teeth in the street?’ A Bright Youth.

The entertaining of royalty is one of the most delicate triumphs the society woman, whether she be. a duchess or merely a millionairess, can achieve. It has a code. of etiquette all to itself—a code which must be rigidly observed or no hope is there of ever securing another visit from a royal guest of the reigning house. The number of titled and untitled guests bidden to meet the sovereign at, say, a dinner party is strictly limited and of course highly select. On one oc- casion $20,000 was spent by a hostess in entertaining a crowned head for a week end, while another. example is that of a certain baronét who had a marble staircase put in his house sole- ly because of an approaching visit from the late king. . A Remarkable Escape. During the reign of terror im Paris one of the most remarkable escap'es was that of M. de Chateaubrun. He,. was ‘sent to execution with twenty other prisoners, but after the fifteenth head had fallen the guillotine got out of order, and a workman was sent for to repair it. The six remainink vie- tims were left standing in front of the machines with their hands tied behind them. A French crowd is very cu- rious, and the people kept pressing forward to see the man arranging the guillotine. By degrees M. de Chateau- brun, who' was to the rear of his com- panions, found himself®in the front line of the spectators, then in the see- ond and finally well behind those who had come to see his head cut off. Be- fore the men could get the guillotine in working ‘order night began to fall, and M: de Chateaubrun slipped away. When in the-Champs Elysees he told a man that a wag had tied his hands and robbed hifn of his hat, and this simple individual set him free. A few days later M. de Chateaubrun escaped from France. Due Precautions. { In a town in Georgia there was an old preacher whose knowledge of the world was not wide nor deep, but who conceived it to be a place where, 'if one should trust his fellow men, he should at the same time keep an eye on his own interests, One hot day he pulled off his coat and preached a vigorous sermon under the pines in his shirt sleeves. At the close of the open air service one of his admirers approached him and said regretfully: “I don’t suppose you knew that the editor of one of the big New York Sunday papers was here whéen you pulled off your coat,” . “I reckon I knew it ‘well; for T'd been, told of it,” said the preacher calmly. “I don’t believe he’s as bad as he might be, and anyway I put my coat on the chair close by and had it right under my eye all the time.”—Youth’s Companion. ¢ Moro Story of the Flood. The legend of the flood as told by the Moros is as follows: “When the forty days and nights of rain came No and his family got ire a box. One pair of each sort of bird and beast also came in. Men who were busy with their ordinary occupa- tlons and did not enter the box were overtaken by the flood. Those who ran to the mountains became mon- keys; those who ran to the water, fish. The Chinaman changed to a hornbill. A woman who was eating.the fruit of a seaweed and would not stop was changed into a fish called a dugomg, and her limbs can still be seen under its skin.” Mara’s Voice. ; Mme. Mara had a voice that extend- ed from middle G to E in alt and was one of the mosj facile and flexible ever known. She delighted in the florid music of Hasse, Graun, Benda,<Jom-. melli, Pergalese, Porpora, Sacchini and others of thaf school and with the ut- most ease executed passages that are now consigned to solo instruments, such as the violin and flute. She held |- the stage from 1771 to 1802, with an occasional appearance after the latte: date. 3 His Bedtime. “When do you wind your watch,” asked the man with the bulging brow— “morning or evening?” “Generally in the morning,” answer- ed the man with the bulbous nose. “I always wind mine just before ¥ £0 to bed.” “Well—er—so do L“—Chicago Trib- une. f What She Would Do. .“Johnnie, dear,” said his mother, who dustry, “what do you suppose mamma would do for you if you should come to her some day and tell her that you “Lick me for| loved your studies?” telling a falsehood.” - said dear little Johnnie with the frankness of youth.

ABOLISHES OLD METHOD Forest Patrol on a Salary Basis Rec- ommended in Place of the Present Fire Warden System—Establish- mient of Adequate Fire Lines " Through the Woods, With Tele phonic Communication, Favored. St. Paul, Dec. 8—Abolishment of the pregent fire warden system, which designates town supervisors and clerks as wardens, and the substitu- tion of a forest patrol on a salary basis, was recommended by the reso- |- lutions at the Lake States Fire con- ference, in session at the Saint Paul hotel. The establishment of adequate fire.lines through the woods and tele- phonic communication from end to end also were recommended unani- mously. “The plan calls for a com- plete revision of the system now in use. Without a dissenting voice the men “from ‘the firing line,” who‘took part in the important conference, agreed that radical changes must be made if the forests of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan are to be saved from devastation. The resolutions adopted arg, in brief, as follows: Entire control of forest protective measures to be placed in the hands of a nonpartisan commission. Complete elimination of the local fire ‘warden system, the substitution -of aforest patrol tb be operated by the commission in co-operation with the national government, adjoining -states and a fire protective associa- tion. Opposition to any general slash burning requirement—the commission to be given authority to require dis- posal of dangerous slashings adjoin- ing valuable timber. Proper restriction of the burning of brush and debris in clearing land dur- ing dry season. Establishment of adequate fire lines (open spaces) through the forest areas. ' Construction and maintenance of suitable trails, lookout stations and telephonic communication through all forests. .. ' Ample appropriations by the state || legislatures to carry out the policies fecommended. ‘- Burning of all debris on railroad rights of way to be under control of .state fire patrol. Maintenance by railroads of ade- quate patrols following trains. Practical spark arresters on all rail- way and logging locomotives. Ne\.:v Senator From Louisiana.
