People Who Fall Safely.

A fall, as rule, Injuries drunk
en- man much less than sober one,
because, tho controlling power OF
the mind being rendered nil
through intoxication, the body
falls as an inert mass, and thus
the chances of injury are lessened,
for, strange though it may appear,
it is no less fact that the most
numerous cases of injury arising
from a fall are caused by the effort,
voluntary or otherwise, to avert the
consequences, thus stralning the
muscles and tendons. Very rarely
are injurious effects from a fall
known in lunatic asylum, for
the same simple reason-the mind
has no influence over the action of
the body. And tits remarkable
and well known fact to those who
have to deal with such cases, adds
the Boston Herald, that whatever
injuries are so caused heal much
more rapidly than in the case Of
sane people, the mind having more
to do with retarding or assisting
natures efforts than is generally
known or realized.

Mr.. Allen takes the position that
counting silver at IS cents per
ounce, the intrinsic value OF a
silver dollar is only e5-71 cents.
He would put in each dollar 400
grams of pure silver, whereas the
present dollar ouly contains 37l9
grains, and he would number and
letter each coin, so that the govern
ment would not be compelled to
redeem duplicates, a safeguard now
neglected. Mr.. Allen says he
would reap a profit in coming
while the price of silver was any
where under 1929. The letter
adds:
awhile it has always been posi-
BILE to recognize counterfeit paper

Counterfeit Eggs.

There has been quite sensation
in Washington recently on the
subject Of artificial eggs. A per-
son who claims to have invented a
process for making them-patent
newly applied for-has been ex-
hibiting samples and giving them
away about town. Some dozens
have been served in tho clubs,
boiled, fried, poached, and scram-
bled, and the general verdict is
that it would bs impossible for
anybody to distinguish them from
real ones. Externally they look
exactly like the sort laid by hens.
Break the shell of 8 raw specimen
and the contents flop into glass
in as natural a manner as possible,
the yoIk and white unmingled. It
has been claimed that no imitation
could ever be made to "beat up"
for cake, but these do perfectly.
The inventor says that his eggs are,
mechanic ically speaking, a precise
repfoduc ctiionsof nature. Corn.meal
is the ,basis giff their material. The
white is . pure albumen, Of course,
while the yolk is more compli-
Gated mixture of albumen and
several other elements. Inside the
she'll is a lining of what. looks
somewhat like the delicate, flmy
membrane formed by the hen,
while the shell itself is stated to
be made in two halves, stuck to-
gether SO artfully that no one can
discover the joining. The very
germ Of the chicken, with unnec-
essary faithfulness of imitation,
as one might think, is counter
feited. The eggs are made of va
rious 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 ten
cents a dozen, and they never get
rotten. To confectioners and
others wLo use large quantities of
eggs the yolks and whites will be
sold separately, put up in jars and
dramatically sealed. In this shape
