said soft because it took so long
to boil them hard. I thought that
it would take about fifteen minutes
to have them soft. While they

a game of hide-and- seek to
pass away the time. We played a
long time when somebody suddenly
remembered the eggs. I took them
off the fire as quickly as I could.
They had been boiling about three
quarters of an hour; then we
thought we would have hard boiled
eggs and decided that that was
what we really wanted in the first
place. All declared that l was a
fine cook from the appearance of
the outside of the eggs. When we

MES when Juniors were cooks and carpenters

covered themselves with burns and bruises
rather than glory. In cooking, both boys and

and happily thinking how delicious their mix

Preparing Costly Furs.

When a master workman in fur
Inanufactory is cutting up skins, he is
literally cutting money. Skins once
passed for frontier money, but their
value is now much greater than in the
early days, and 1t would be less costly
to cut garment from ten dollar bills
than to cut 1t from some skins.
The cutting is quite ap interesting
feature of the work. To prepare a
mink or sable, for example, the skin
must be slashed into strings. narrow
pieces more or less irregular in shape,
which are afterward sewed together.
There may be a thousand pieces in a
single cloak, the new and beautiful
skins being literally cut to pieces be-
fore they are manufactured. The OBJ
ject Of this Is to lengthen the skins.
The sable, for example, say twoNfeet
in length, Will be drawn out to four
feet and all its markings preserved, SO
that 1t looks like very long, but well
proportiOned, skin. The original skin
is so cut to pieces that it may all be
matched" again in the elongated
