WELL DONE.

Young house-keepers have to ac.
quire knowledge Of domestic duties
by careful graduation. A Nelson street
bride having occasion to boil eggs for
breakfast, got the desired time for
cooking, and put them in Her hus-
band liked his eggs soft, and three
minutes was the time allowed to make
them palatable. She stationed herself
in front Of the clock, because she did
not dare to depend on her memory,
and looked at its fate with awful in
tensity.
Her husband found her when he
came into the kitchen, and finding out
what she was doing asked her how
long the eggs had been in.
zone minute, she answered.
He went to the sink and turned over
the pans, and spread out his legs in
front of the glass, and felt Of his nose,
and moved to the window and stared
out at the scenery. Finally he said
"Ain't those eggs about done, Maria?'
"Not yet" she said.
1T seems to me those eggs have
heen cooking fifteen minutes" he ex-
claimed.
"Well, they amt been cooking but
a minute anda half by this clock, she
positively asserted.
"Then all I've got to say ex-
claimed the fdgety man, after pause,
is that it is the longest minute and
half that | ever saw"
There was a pause.
"Well, Maria,' he broke out, 'let's
have the eggs, and I'll run the risk.
| know it is half an hour since l came
in here"
"Do you suppose I'm blind and
can't see a clock 1t is only two min
utes since these eggs were put in the
water. Here's the hand" said she,
pointing to the hour hand, "and it has
only gone over those two dots, and
each one of them is minute, amt it?'
Yes, each one of them is a minute
when the minute hand indicates them,"
he coincided with smothered sarcasm
"and when the hour hand does it, each
one Of them is twelve minutes or, in
