How Sesste’s Diamond Broke Pa’s Tooth j and Cast Suspicion on the Cook. | Maand the girls are doing the cook- ing at our house this week and dad and I hope they will take a vacation pretty soon, for ma gets cross and the | girls are continually fretting for fear | some fellow will call to take them out | and find them beating eggs or rolling | pie-crust, with their hair full of flour and their tempers at fever heat. All this is due to the fact that last week ma discharged Bridget for steal- ing, although Bridget had never been | known to take anything more than ‘“‘a | loaf of cake for the childer” and was supposed to be temptation proof. It happened this way: of my two sisters, had a ring with a/ | twenty dollar diamond in it that some, fellow gave her long ago and upto date it has the call in her affections over the rest of her jewelry. One noon she went | up to put on her ring before lunch and} that ring, which she had left on her! bureau, was missing. Then there was | ascene. Everybody hunted for it. Bess suspected everybody. Ma wouldn't be- | lieve Bridget had taken it, nor Annie, our new second girl, because Annie was | highly recommended to her by Mrs. | J . whom ma thinks is about right, and Bridget had a star record for hon-| esty. The second morning after the ring | disappeared pa was munching a slice of bread. They always cut the bread | thick for him, for he hates thin slices | | Suddenly his daw stopped and he said: “Holy Moses! I've broken a tooth.” Then he fished something out of his! mouth and there was the diamond ou of Bess’s ring. “Well, we all looked at each other | and B id fiercely: “Who mixed that bread?” “I suppose Bridget did.” said m; The outcome of it was Bridget was charged with stealing the ring and denied it. She admitted mixing the | bread aad ma said she must have worn the ring when she did it. So Bridget had to go, despite her protestations. | Next morning the second girl, Annie, had disappeared and ma found a note on her table which said: mRs. B: I took the ring but was a goin to Give it Back I Was playin in the Bread when Brigit was ¢ ing und the dimon droped Out please Fi ANNIE.” Accompanying this letter was the ring, minus the stone. Well, ma’s square and she apologized to Bridget and tried to get her back but Bridget wouldn't have it and said she'd got a place where the folks were not so suspicious. So ma’s still hunting for a new cook. This may not seem like a boarding- house story but if you had to eat the grub we have for the last week I guess you'd see the resemblance.—N. Y. corder. WHAT GILA MONSTERS EAT. Gulls’ Eggs, Odorous With Age, Suit Their Daloty Palates. The reptile called “Gila monster” has a hideous mien, yet seems to be attract- ive to those men of evcentric tastes, the members of the Academy of Sciences. An expedition recently ‘sent out by the academy through lower California and Arizona brought back, with a wealth of other reptilian curios, eight of the huge lizards which abound along the Gila desert, and as it was desired to keep the creatures alive, the whole resident staff of the academy, as well as those ama teur scientists, Dr. Harkness and Dr. Behr, have racked their ingenuity to gather food for the “monsters.” Libra- rian Bassett thought he had solved the problem when he deserted his musty books for half a day and speared a handful of flies, not be induced to eat them. Assistant Curator Keeler saved the | flesh of a parrot that had succumbed to the high living and late hours of a neighboring beer cellar and been sent as a contribution to the museum, but} the Gila lizards did not faney raw par- rot. Nothing induced the ugly things -, but henceforth but the lizards could} will be well fed. Some gulls’ eggs that had been lying about the animal room for an inde finite | time were moved, and in the process several of them were placed temporarily in the box allotted to the Gila monsters. Very soon strange sounds came from the box, and the monsters were seen to be trying to swallow the eggs. Their jaws had not spread enough and they could not break the shells. At last one of the eggs erushed by being rolled against the side of the box and the eight lizards seuffled along to where the extremely pronounced egg was smeared. They stood about the mess, shooting | their long, forked tongues out and into} the egg and then withdrawing them covered with the highly odorous fluid. » lizards were happy until the broken « had all been transferred to the highly trained Gila stomachs; then they resumed their struggles with the eggs | yet unbroken. Hereafter they will be given eggs to eat, and if they thrive on the diet the problem how to keep them } I —San Francis: Ewaminer. | Some Peculiarities of Birds and Animals. “Some animals exhibit a queer lack of sense,” says a man who has observed them. ‘Puta buzzard ina pen about six feet square and open at the top and | itis as much a prisoner as though it was shut up ina box.

An CUanseal Privilese A dispatch from to be hanged and not | to take farther steps in the watter. there is still a certain impatience of | victory among Eve's daughters, and | they resolved upon an audacious move which should prove to the objects of | their affection that they were, one and | all, really good housekeepers. They fixed upon a day, secured the house of a mutual friend and sent out six invitations to a‘luncheon which was to be prepared and served by their own Upon the appointed day the si ung men, punctual to such an appetizing engagement, were welcomed by six pretty cooks, dressed like the soubrettes in a comedy, with bare arms, dainty little caps, short skirts and em- broidered white aprons.
