The State Insane asylum at Potts- field was a model institution. It rep- sented the last word that had been uttered upon the subject of the men- tally deranged. Although the rooms for violent patients were barred and secured by double doors, they were splendidly furnished, while for those who were harmless there was little or no restriction inside the spacious grounds. In fact, when it celebrated its fifth anniversary by a garden par- ty, the governor, the mayor and a score of distinguished guests, their wives and their friends, walked freely within the walls, investigating, talk- ing with keepers and inmates, pene- trating into every nook and cranny. There was no skeleton in the Potts- | field asylum, nor any blemish to be concealed. Thus it happened that two men met | in one of the spacious corridors, and, made friendly by the festival occasion and the dinner, at which visitors, guards and patients had sat down to- | gether, entered into conversation, “This is a beautiful place,” said the | elder, a dignified gentleman wearing a frock coat and carrying a silk hat in his hand. “Though I am mainly re- | sponsible for its having been created, I confess that I am astonished at the perfection of all the details.” The other shot a keen glance at him. “You were responsible, sir?” he asked. “Yes,” said the other. ernor Pike, you know.” “I'm very pleased to make your ac- quaintance, governor,” said the other, grasping the speaker's hand warmly. “I was late for the dinner or I should have met you before. I am the mayor of Pottsfield — Arthur Jenkinson Grubbe.” The first man retreated “Indecd, Mr. Mayor to meet you, even hie a forced smile. “Shall we “l am Gov- a step. I am delighted | 7 he said, with ! 80 out- | he stammered, “that my uncle-in-law, the duke of Saratgga, who is outside, can help in this. ' He knows all the Montenegro family very well. Let me | go back for him.” “No, no,” protested the mayor, tak- [ ing the governor by the arm. “She | is in here reading at this moment. | I know she will recognize you. We | will just see her for a moment. A‘ very interesting character, my dear , sir, and a most accomplished creature. ! Here we are.” The outer door of the room at which they stopped, slightly ajar, disclosed | an inner door within, which stood wide open, and a heavily barred win- dow looking out upon the lawn. The two men passed through the outer door and stopped. They looked at each other menacingly. Suddenly the ; mayor gave the governor a violent | push which sent him staggering upon | the floor, slammed the inner door, and pulled at the handle of the outer | one, i It was locked. It had closed be- | hind them. Even as the mayor realized this the | inner door opened and the governor, | white with rage, sprang upon his as- | sailant, at the same time shrieking at | the top of his voice. They fought all over the room. | Help! Help!” yelled the governor, | and the mayor re-echoed his shouts. They heard answering cries from the[ lawn beneath. Then steps came quickly along the corridor, and the| door flew open again, disclosing two | disheveled and panting antagonists | seated upon the floor with puffed eyes and scarred faces. Two doctors came running in. Governor Pike!” shouted one, hur- rying toward him. “My dear governor, what has occurred? Who is this man?" he continued, turning upon his confrere angrily. *“How did he get here? 1 told you to keep the violent patients in the padded cells all day.” “But—but this is the mayor, Mr. Arthur Jenkinson Grubbe,” shouted the other. “This is a hideous mis- take, sir.” “Put why did he assault the gover then? How did he get him “He told me he was the the prineess of Montene, side?” “I'd prefer to show you something of our arrangements first Stared at the Other in Amazement. other responded. “Won't you walk ahead of me?

No other article of food is more susceptible to the influence of its surroundings than eggs. New-laid ezgs do not always have the same flavor. The food and en- vironment of the fowl are reflected in the taste of the eggs. Hens fed upon onions for a few days will yield the onion taste in their eggs within a week. Fggs that are laid in foul- smelling stables will have the odor of the nest. Kggs that are laid in the country store in the same room with grocerles will be injured in flavor in a short time. Kggs that the kept too near the kitchen stove or in damp cellars are injured. Eggs that have been rained upon or have been wet from any source it will become musty of office.” The governor complied, somewhat grudgingly. “I suppose you have some interest- ing cases here,” he said, with a dis- play of interest. ‘Many of them doubtless think that they are sane.” “Most of them do,” answered the other. “And some of them imagine that they are celebrities confined for political reasons. For instance, out on the lawn at this moment there is a man engaged in telling his friends and acquaintances that he is Mayor Arthur Jenkinson Grubbe.” “But he isn't,” stammered the gov- | ernor. “You are the mayor and no- body else can claim the title. By the way, aren’'t you related to King George of England?” Arthur Jenkinson Grubbe stood still and stared at the other in amazement, “How did you know that?" he whis- pered huskily. “Yes, I'm his Dhalf- i brother. And to be frank with you,” he continued, “I am also a half-brother of King Ferdinand of Rulgaria. In fact we used to play together on the board walk at Atlantic City when we { were children. Won't you walk this way?" “You amaze me!” responded Gov- ernor Pike. “And you—you look as though you were of kingly blood,” the mayor continued, with a searching glance. “Yes, yes,” said Governor Pike hastily. “That is, queenly. I am a sister by marriage of the princess of Montenegro.” “Why, that’s extraordinary,” said | | the mayor. “Do you know, there is a i lady in one of these apartments who claims to be the princess of Montene- gro herself!” “My sister,” cried the “You amaze me!” “But to be frank with you, govenr nor, I am afraid a dreadful error has been made. I hardly care to mention I'1t, but we have never believed her statement. How terrible if we have incarcerated a sane lady by mistake! i { A dreadful wrong may have been | done. You must remedy it.” | | governor. | heat has lessened their in a few hours. Eggs even taste of the box board in which they are crated for ship- ment. Some epicures find the eggs with a tinted shell to be of finer flavor than the eggs with a white shell. A whole roomful of eggs pack- ed and in storage have been known to take the flavor of lemons stored in the same building but separated from the eggs by a brick wall, The taste of an egg iIs also influ- enced by the seasons. Spring eggs when the fowls are at their best have a better character and finer flavor than the eggs of the hot sum- mer weather, when the food of the fowls is more va and the summer itality at the rieht tilated room the odors Eggs that are store temperature in a well ¢ will give off a larce par they have absorbed Eggs more than a week old are not strictly fresh. but if they are pro- duced right and go quickly into the right kind of storage they will retain their original character, with the exception of a taste of the straw board surrounding them, for several months, and- will be as sweet and wholesome for most domestic uses for ten months. That is as long as i necessary. for by that time the crop of new-laid eggs will be at hand. —— Unique Signs in France. Frederic C. Penfield was walkine | along a New Jersey road while his chauffeur fixed a broken tire. He no. ticed a danger sign at the roadside “In France.” he said, “at the en. trance to their towns they have signs which are characteristically French, and seem to me delightful in spirit. Over the road. as vou enter the town limits, is an arch on which is printeq the name of the town, the number of the road—for all the roads are num bered in France—and the name of | the department in which the town | lies. Then below those. in larger Jet. | ters: “Attention aux enfants” (Re | careful about the children). And then. as you leave the town, you see the | “lI wish ] could,” the governor ' back side of a similar sign, which | says: “Merci” (Thanks).
