WOMAN A BEAST OF BURDEN.
Heavy Loads Carried by Italians
Through New YorlS's Streets.

Heavy Loads Carried by Italians
Through New York's Streets.
1t is no uncommon sight to see Ital-
ian women walking along the streets
balancing burdens on their heads that
the average man would prefer to have
sent home on n truck. \ few days ago
one of these women passed through
City Hall park. On her head she was
carrying what appeared to be the en-
tire woodwork from the interior of
some house. The bundle was made up
of eight pieces of hard wood, the short
est being fully II feet in length. Each
piece was six inches in width and an
inch thick. The woman steadied this
burden with one hand, while in the
other she carried what one would con-
slider good load for one person In
the shape of bundle of shorter pieces
of wood.
As she turned into Center street, near
Chambers. the end of the load of lum-
Der on her head came in contact with
the head of n man who was going in
the opposite direction. In order to
prevent hitting him too hard the wom-
an tried to turn to one side, and as she
did SO her burden fell to the walk. In
vain she tried to replace it on her head.
At last two men took hold of 1t, one
at each end. They found that even
their combined strength was just sufIi-
Gent to lift it up and place it on the
Woman's head again. When the wood
was finally adjusted in a proper posi-
ton the woman picked up her smaller
bundle and started UP Center street.

COURTS RULED BY SUN TIME
Judges In Various states Refuse to
Accept Standard Reckoning.

If you ever expect to go to law over
question In which time is involved,
however slightly, don't monkey with
standard time. 1t won't go in the
courts. To. be sure, you can't catch
trains if you don't use standard time
to do 1t, but you will miss the verdict
If you do. In Georgia the court of ap-
peals decided that the use of standard
time instead of sun time in regulating
trial was an error In the particular
case in question the sun time was fast
er than the railroad time, and a YER
dict was received after II o'clock on
Saturday night by the sun time, though
before II by standard time. 1t was
decided that sun time should have been
followed.
In Nebraska certain summons was
returnable before a justice at 10 o'clock
u. III. The defendant failed to appear
The justice waited until II o'clock
standard time which was about half
an hour faster than common time, and
then gave judgment by default The
defendant appeared before II o'clock
common time, and it was held that the
judgment by default was premature
and invalid.
In Iowa there was a question as
to the expiration of an insurance
policy, which by its terms extended
until - o'clock at noon of n certain
day. Fire broke out at about 11:45
o'clock a. IN. of that day by common
time and about two and a half minutes
after II o'clock by standard time. The
court held that the insurance was still
in force. 1t did not appear that any
statute had enacted any change in the
ordinary rule which regards noon as
the time when the sun crosses the
meridian. There was evidence of the
customary use of standard time at
that place, but this was held not suf
ficient. The court says: at was not
only necessary to show the customary
use of standard time, but that by GUS
tom of the place at - o'clock ut noon
meant at - o'clock standard time.'-

The yolli of the egg spoils much
quicker than the white. For this rea-
son it is important that the yolll should
be surrounded with layer of the
white. If the egg is placed on the
side or large end the heavy yolk will
settle to the bottom and come in con
tact with the shell. which admits the
air. If it is placed on the small end 1t
will always have a layer Of white be-
tween it and the shell. Eggs absorb
odors easily, therefore only odorless
materials should be used when packing
them.-Ladies' Home Journal.
