According to writer In n French
scientific paper, ducks fed on acorns,
which they will eat ravenously, not
unfrequently lay black eggs. The rea-
son is that their eggshell Is naturally
rich In iron, and this combines with
the tannin in the acorn to produce a
good. fast black. The same paper
states that If fowls are fed on boiled
lobster shells they will lay bright red
eggs.

sETRoTHAL

Long had we pleasant comrades been
And loved each other WE'LL
Yet never Ind traitor glance
The secret dared to tell.
And when that first sweet night we stood
That rose sweet night in June
Alone and watched the herald clouds
Outride the languid moon,
Yea, even then we did not guesS
But stood entranced, apart.
Until the silence suddenly
Beat with Gods mighty heart.
And then-we know not how 1t was
We trembled, each to each,
And kissed, - and all our pulses thrilled
Too holly for speech.

Troops to BE Kept Handy.

The part of the problem relative to
withdrawal that remains unso,yed is
the best means Of securing guarantees
for the attainment of the few objects
set out in Secretary Hays note of July
8, which have not yet been secured. 1t
does not follow that because the
United States troops are to be with
drawn this autumn from China that our
interests will be left completely at the
mercy of the other powers. On the
contrary, such disposition will be
made of those troops that they, with
others, if necessary, AN be returned
to China in short order. To this end
the entire army of General Chaffee
will be quartered in some of the most
pleasant and salubrious portion of the
Philippines. If they are wanted again
in China they al be transported in
side of a week, thoroughly refreshed
and fitted for effective action.
Minister WI has not been cl othed
with powers by his government to eff
feet q settlement of the Chinese
trouble directly with the Washington
authorities. The officials are inclined
to believe that no such large power a:
this will be conferred upon him
though he may, as do the Chinese min
listers in Europe, play a most impor
tant part in the preliminaries to thu
institution of regular negotiation
through commissioners for y final set
