cd for man who furnished eggs for n
foreign scientific collection: These imi-
tations are not difficult. for among the
real eggs. of most species there are so
many varieties that even the most
.practiced expert could not distinguish
all OF them. The eggs OF the common
fy-catcher are very cheap. By chem
ical treatment they acquire n b.uish
green shining color. and are then sold
at n very high price as the eggs Of the
silk-tail. From common duck eggs are
fabricated the eggs Of falcon. for
which so or 60 francs are paid. The
duck eggs for this purpose are. given a
silver-green color. Pigeon and wood
pigeon eggs are also transformed into
rarer products of middle-sized birds.
Nightingales' eggs are difficult to pro-
cure and are. therefore very dear. They
are initiated by coIoring Iarks' eggs

time an assistant in a naturaI-history

REPAIRING STOCKINGS.
An EcOnomicnl Way OF Keeping the
Children's Feet Cow
cred.

Stockings are SO much improved in
quality and reduced in price that it
no longer pays to knit them laborious-
ly by hand, as our grandmothers did.
Some Industrious women spend their
leisure in knitting stockings by ma
chinery, which is much more rapid
work than knitting them by hand. 1t
still pays to run the heels and toes
of fine stockings of silk or cotton to
make them wear longer at those vulner-
able points. The old-fashiohed idea
that no stocking could be successfully
footed by sewing is now done away
with by the fineness of the modern
stockinet Of manufacture. After the
feet of children's stockings are past
darning cut them off. Cut feet out of
the whole legs of one pair and sew
them together with as few seams as
possible, and sew these feet on pair
of stocking legs, taking similar seams.
If these seams are properly taken they
will not chafe or hurt the most deli
cate foot. If the upper part of the
stocking is thin run the heel and toe
part of these sewn stockings. The
success Of the work of these made
over stockings depends, of course, upon
the way the seams are put in. A
stitched seam afterward opened and
"cat-stitched" fat is one of the softest
seams for this purpose.
Little babies and elderly people, or
invalids who suffer from cold feet,
should wear wooden stockings even in
summer, varying heavy stocking for
lighter enc in hot weather. Strong
people, who. have n vigorous, healthy
circulatioIEof blood, do not at any sea-
son need wooden stockings, which often
induce pcrspiration of the feet when
1t is not necessary. Such persons
should battle their feet very frequently
and change their stockings often. Air
ing the stockings in the open air will
be often all that is necessary; IL more
washing is needed to freshen end puri-
fy them after being worn scald the
feet Of the stockings and rinse them
In cold water and dry them in the open
air. No stockings should be worn long
enough to require rubbing with soap
on board. 1t destroys the color Dad
| helps to wear out the stockings more
than the actual wear does. Never iron
! hosiery; it stretches it out of shape. a
! stocking does not fit to the leg so well

HOW II ORIGINATED.
The Story OF tho Postal Reform In
Great Britain

Great Britain
Sir Rowland Hill the great Eng

Schoolmaster. After he had taught
Tor number of years his health gave

be decided to travel.
While travelling in the North Of
England in 1884 he stopped one day
at an inn just as postman came to
deliver u letter. The letter was for
the innkeeper's daughter. She took
it from the ostman, carefully exam
med it ON both sides and then asked
the post man what was the amount of
postage due.
~One shilling" the postman an
'1wered.
The girl at once handed the post
man tile unopened letter and said:
81 au sorry l cannot receive the
letter. for 1t ls from my brother, but
/ have not the money to pay so much
postage"
Mr.. Hill heard the conversation be-
tween the postman and the girl and
be psid the postage. The girl blush
ed and seemed greatly confused when
tho letter was again given to her; and
as suon as the postman had gone she
told MIR. Hill that the letter Was mere.
ly a trick between her brother and
herself. Certain marks ON the wrap
per told her all she wanted to know
and the paper on the inside contain
ed no writing.
@We are too poor to pay go much
postage" she further explained, @and

This Incident gave Sir Rowland
something to think about and he kept
thinking until the postal re'orm be-
came the object Of his life. He was
thor 'nghly convinced that 4 post al
systeui that caused even boys and
girls to resort to trickery and decep-
ton must be harmful one.
He entered the Britleh civil service,
and in 1897 brought forward in a
phan!phlet plan for uniform penny
postage. His plan was much oppos.
ed but he labored faithfully and un.
iringly and at last convinced the
HoL+e Of Commons that the penny
postage syetem would enrich the
government.
Accordingly. III 1910 it was decided
that letters weighing not more tn m
half an ounce should be sert for {
penny, and penny postage stamps
bearing an image OF the queens heat
we're ordered to be used. In 1855 tn,
system was adopted in the United
States
