COuldn't Boil an Egg.

A story which seems almost in
credible comes from Paris. A school
inspector was visiting girls high
school in a large provincial city. lie
asked one of the girls what sort of
nutriment eggs contain and received
the confident ana correct reply, "Ni-
trogenous." Another pupil gave sat
isfactory answers to questions abont
the habits and appearances of vari-
GUS wild and domestic fowl.
Then the inspector asked another
pupil how long "soft-boiled' egg
should be cooked. The girl blushed,
hesitated and finally stammered,
"Half an hour" The Inspector
frowned and turned to the next girl
who replied. confidently: CAT least
three-quatters of an hour" The
third girl thought an hour was nee
essary, while the fourth said that
soft eggs were not cooked at all.
The girls knew all the "ologies,' u
but they couldn't boil an egg

MASSACRE BY "MIsrAKE., ,,

Mrs. Archibald Little, who has
recently travelled home from China
through Manchuria and Siberia,
sends us the following notes with
regard to the massacre which took
place last summer in Manchuria:
The Blagovestscbensk ms ssacre
has met with such universal con-
demnation from the British press
that possibly it may interest the
general public to hear of record
still extant as to how differently it
was regarded at the time on the
spot. "We should not say anything
about it," said Russian lady be-
longing to another city on the
Amur, "if the people of Blagovest-
schensk had not killed all their own
servants and employees of many
years standing. But that is little
too much" "I cannot think how
it occurred" groaned out a Russian
official. "Gribsky, the Governor
there, is most charming man, and
the Governor of Khabarovks, 10
whom he referred the matter, has
the kindest of hearts. l think il
must have been a mistaSe about a
telegram. You see, when Gribsky
telegraped from Blagovestschensk

Governor of Khabarovka telegraphed
back: In war burn and DESTROY.
and think Gribsky cannot
have noticed that in war; You
see, they just took all the Chi
nese and forced them into the river
on boats that could not carry them,
and when the women threw their
children on shore and begged that
they at least might be saved, the
Cossacks caught the babies on their
bayonets and cut them to pieces
and he shuddered.

Ducks EnjOined from Quacking
Judge Pugh, of Toledo, Ohio, last

Judge Pngh, OF Toledo, Ohio, last
week issued temporary injunction
which restrains the flock of maumee
ducks from quacking during the
night and disturbing the slumbers
of Harry Teat. The defendant, Lewis
Gould, ia neigbbor of Teat, and he
complains that the former has lot
of ducks, and that with malicious
intent Gould erected a shelter for
the ducks so located that their
quacking cannot fail to disturb
Teat and family during the light.
Teat is a Woodworking man and
says that owing to loss of sleep
through the disturbance created by
the ducks he has become unfit for
work, and that his wife, delicate
woman, has lost so much sleep from
the same cause that her life is en-
dangered. Teat further alleges that
Gould goes out and gets the ducks
scared and excited for the purpose
of disturbing the plaintiff.
