One of the oldest of tunes was “The White Cockade.” a a historical melody to Amer- 8, though many Americans may © aware of the fact.

SIMPLE TEST FOR EGGS. Method Used in Germany Said to Be Infalible: < A new and simpts method for test- ing eggs is published in German pa- pers. It is based upon the fact that the air chamber in fhe flat end of the egg inereases with age. If the egg is placed in a saturated solution of com- mon salt it wil! show an increasing inclination to float with the long axis vertical. A scale is attached te the vessel containing the salt solution so that the inclination of the floating egg toward the horizontal can be meas- ured, In this way the age of the egg can be determined almost to a day. A fresh egg les in a horizontal post- tion at the bettom of the vessel; an egg from three to five cays old shows an elevation of the flat end so ‘1at its long axis forms an angle of 20 de- grees. With an egg eight days old the angle increases to 45 degrees; with an eggs fourteen days old to 60 de grees, and with one three weeks old to 75 degrees, while an egg a month old floats vertically upon the pointed end. Curlosity of Birds. Birds, however wary, are curious, and will approach a strange object at the risk of their lives, as wild-fowl shooters know. A singular instance of curiosity is now reported of a goose in a emall village of the Duchy ‘of Baden. When the “garde-champetre” rang his bell and read his decrees to the assembled peasants, a white and black goose, eccentric by its intelli- gence, perhaps a goose of genius, left the flock and planted itself before him, and listened with lofty and solemn stare peculiar to geese, human or otherwise. When the crier moved on he goose followed, and only returned to its companions ‘after the round was made. It continued this attention for some months.—London Globe. Cotton Growing in Paraguay. Cotton has been cultivated in Para- guay for many years, but hitherto lit- tle or no attempt has been made to export it. In the last year, however, considerable interest has been mani* fested in this product by cotton deal- ers and experts who have visited tite country. Samples forwarded to the United Kingdom have met with con- siderable approval, and one shipment to Manchester was pronounced “very good standard quality.” Paraguayan cotton is said to resemble the Egypt- aan variety. Besides the white varie- ty, there is ‘also a colored cotton. The prices obtained for Paraguayan’ cot- ton in Europe are 5d a pound for the white variety and 6d for the red.— London Engineer. High on the Hills. High on the hills the great winds strong- ly blow; The crisp, dry grasses shiver to and fro; A feck of white, a drifting, wind-blown oat, Sails overhead; immeasurably remote. ‘The blue, haze-hidden valleys lie below, The far-heard, lonely cawing of a crow Thins into silenee. Ghostly still, and slow, The long cloud-shadows softly float High on the hills. Hlimitably far the blue skies go; The world-wide, wind-swept spaces wider grow; A pulse of mighty meaning thrills the throat Of echoing silence with a soundless note; Eternity draws nearer than we know, High on the hills. Independent. The Quinine Cure for Drunkenness. It is claimed that drunkenness can be cured in ‘from one week to one ‘month's time by using the following mixture: Pulverize one pound of fresh quill-red Peruvian bark and soak it in one pint of diluted alcohol. Strain and evaporate it down to half a pint. For the first two days give a teaspoon- ful every three hours. If this quantity causes headache diminish the dose. ‘The third day reduce amount to half a teaspoonful; the next day give fif- jteea drops, the next ten and then five, ONE CAUSE FOR DRINK HABIT. Sxpert Traces intemperance to !m- proper Feeding. “There is a cause for the érink hab- ft which even good Christian parents | do not understand,” says a writer in What to Eat. “They cannot realize why their children, with beautiful sur- roundings and daily Christian influ- ences, sometimes go far astray, be- coming sadly immoral, and in many instances drunkards. When they, as well as many of the physicians, shall baxe exhausted all other efforts to lo- cate the cause of the trouble, let them look to the stomach—the poor, abused stomach—and they will, in all proba- bility, find the source of the evil. From infancy many of the little ones are given food beyond the capacity of their digestive organs, As: soon ‘as several teeth have appeared, meats are frequently a part of the bill of fare. These, as well as the other ar- ticles of food, are necessarily swal-” lowed without proper mastication. Pepper, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar and highly seasoned salads also find their way into these young and tender stomachs until, as the result of such a diet, fermentatioa sets in and a little distillery is created in these youthful temples. Under such conditions a child becomes irri- table, quick tempered, untruthful, and it would be surprising if it grew up to noble manhood.” PREPARE FOR LONG FASTS. Nature Takes Good Care of Animals That Hibernate. A large number of species of ani- mals undergo more or legs prolonged and continuous fasts during the pe- riod of their winter or summer slegp. During such slumbers the more actee functions of the body are to a great extent suspended, while those that are carried on act slowly and entail com- paratively little waste of tissue and energy. Moreover, before the perlod of the winter torpor or hibernation takes place, many animals, such as bears, accumylate large stores of fat on various parts of the body, whick suffice to supply all the waste entailed by the respiratory function during the period in question. Fat is also ac- cumulated by the mouselemurs of Madagascar previous to the summer sleep, or aestivation, and is used up in a similar manner, their summer sleeps being undertaken for the pur- pose of avoiding the season of great heat and drought, when food is dif- ficult or impossible to procure. “An Sin, Esquire.” By way of corroborating my view that the title “Esquire” is utterly de void of meaning, one of my readers mentions that in Singapore, where he has resided for eleven years, it is not only. universally bestowed on every white man, but also upon the wealthier Chinese and Asiatics. “Ab Sin, Esq.,” looks and sounds well. It will surely lend an additional attrao- tion to life in a Rand mine or com- pound when the Celestial knows that the wealth he amasses out of his “av- erage minimum” wage will entitle hisa to such a designation. He could nox get.a peacock’s feather or a yellow jacket at home for anything like the price.—London Truth. Grouse Has Many Defenses. The grouse has a hundred tricks c? defense. It will lie still until the hunter is within a yard of it, then soar straight upward in his front, towering like a woodcock; again, it will rise forty yards away, and the sound of its wings is his only notice of its pres- ence. It will cower upon a branch under which he passes, and his cap will not be more than a foot below it as he goes, and though it has seen him approaching it will remain quies- cent in fear until his back is turned. It will rush then, and when he hes slewed himself hurriedly around he will catch only a glimpse of a brown, broad wing far away. One of Corea’s Superstitions. Near the city of Seoul, the capital of Corea, is a hill called Pouk Han, which was formerly covered with trees. The legend runs that so long as a tree remained on the hill so long will Corea maintain its independence, and therefore no one is allowed to cut or touch a tree. But the natural consequence of this want of forestry has been that the trees have gradually died off, until now only one is left. On this one tree it is believed that the fate of the country rests, and when it goes Corea as an independent state will go with it. My Queen.
