1T WAS ONLY A WOoDCOCK.
Yet All the workmen in the Building

Yet All the Workmen in the Building
stopped Work to Kill the Bird.
If Brooklynite on his way to business in
New York had dropped in the new
Federal Building on Washington street at
about 80 o'clock he would have witnessed
peculiar sight, according to the BROOKLYN
Times. Instead of seeing number of busy
workmen pounding away at the marble and
brass work to be used in fitting up the nte-
rior he would have seen men rushing about
with their hats off and long sticks in their
hands, shouting: There he isv' Did
you hit him?" and similar remarks that
would have suggested that a small-sized
riot was going on.
If the visitor had looked little higher he
would have seen the cause of the trouble.
1t was big male wondcock, nearly fright
ened to death by the shouts of the men, fiy-
ing from pillar to pillar and every now and
then emitting plaintive cry. Finally one
OF the marble-cutters made a good throw
and knocked the bird to the floor. IL WAS
taken into Colonel Booths Office, where it
expired.
The bird was In perfect condition and
looked fresh and strong. 1t was probably
going south for winter, and becoming ex-
hausted. flew into the building for n rest.
1t came on the north side of the annex and
aighted on a beam, from which it was soon
driven and killed.
Colonel Booth was much delighted with
the result of his hunting expedition and
showed the bird to every one VINO came in

ARTIFICIAL EGGS.
A Washington Mans Remarkable Inven-
ton.

A Washington Mans Remarkable Inven-
ton.
There has been quite sensation in Wash
ington recently Oh the subject of artificial
eggs. A person who claims to have invented
process for making them-patent newly
applied for-has been exhibiting samples
and giving them away about town. Some
d"zens have been served In the clubs
boiled, fried. poached and scrambled, and
the general verdict is that it would be i'm
possible for anybody to distinguish them
from real ones. Externally they look ex-
actly like the sort laid by hens. Break the
shell Of raw specimen and the contents
flop into glass in as natural manner as
possible, the yolk and white unmingled. 1t
has been claimed that no imitation eggs
could ever be made TO beat up" for cake,
but these do perfectly.
The inventor says that his eggs are, chemi-
cally speaking, precise reproduction Of
nature. Corn meal is the basis of their Ia
terlal The white Is pure nlbumen, OF
course, while the yelk is more complicated
mixture OF albumen and several other ele-
ments. Inside the shell Is lining of what
looks somewhat like the delicate, flmy
membrane formed by the hen. while the
she'll itself Is stated to be made In two
halves. stuck together SO artfully that no
eye can discover the joining. Tho very
germ Oh the Quicken, with unnecessary
faithfulness Of imitation. as one might
think, is counterfeited.
The eggs are made Of various shapes and
tints. One will be able to buy, as soon as
they are placed on the market, counterfeit
pullets' eggs or eggs laid by elderly hens /;
likewise select white eggs or dark-colored
eggs, according to choice. Most surprising
of all, they will be sold for only 10 cents a
dozen. and they never get rotten. To COLI
iectioners and others who use large quanti-
ties of eggs the yelks and whites will be
sold separately, put up in jars and hermet-
ically sealed. In this shape they will also
be convenient for household employment

Mrs. Title Kerchler told funny story to
Justice Goetting in the Lee.avenue Police
Court, Brooklyn, recently. 1t was SO funny
that the erring husband, against whom she
appeared, had to laugh in spite of the un-
pleasant plight In which he found himself
Mrs. Kerchler married her husband,
Felix, just four months ago. She is twenty
years of age, he Is year younger. Felix is

plucky little woman, accepted the situa-

A few days ago, and to her intense sur
prise, she received letter post-mark New

of Mexico had not agreed with him.
Would she take him to her heart and hearth
again?'
Mrs Kerchler is like Joey B.. sly, sir, sly,
and so she wrote a reply that was sweetness
itself. Glad to see him? Well, rather.
Only let him come TO Williamsburg and he
would find that warm welcome and entire
forgiveness awaited him.
Felix fell into the trap and came like lit
tie lamb. This was Friday morning. He
met his wife at 1903 Wallabout street, at
which address on the third floor she has a
room. Her welcome was more than warm !;
almost ELUSIVE Felix was affected even
unto tears by the tender words and EN-
braces of his spouse.
After few minutes of billing aud cooling
Mrs. Kercher made some excuse to leave
the room. AS she did so she locked the
door behind her Then she ran as hard as
she could to the Lee-avenue Police Court.
Here she swOre out warrant for the ar
rest of her husband on charge Of abandon
ment. Next court officer accompanied her
back to the house.
Felix was making desperate attempts to
break down the door. He was so astounded
a. his arrest that he forgot to swear at Mrs.
Kprchler.
In court the pIucky little wOman's story
moved even his Honor to smiles. He COM
plimented her on her pluck. Felix even
had to grin as she told the story. He was
