HE DOcToRED THE EGGS.
A Physician Played sherlock Holmes
and Caught Dishonest
Employee.

A Long Island doctor who has been
missing eggs from his poultry yard
for some time is happy at last, for
he has discovered the thief. For
months every effort and every device
to detect the eulprit failed, but, final
Iy, the doctor hit upon scheme that
was worthy of Sherlock Holmes.
He took a dozen or more eggs and
bored the tiniest of holes in the shell
of each. Then through these holes he
introduced into the eggs piece of
very fine wire. The holes were then
filled with white wax and the eggs
returned to the nest.
A few days afterward the doctor was
called in to see the child of woman
in the village near him. After attend
ing the child he talked about one thing
and another until the lady told him
of such strange thing that had hap
pened to her. A few days before she
had bought half dozen eggs from the
village grocer and in four of them she
had found short pieces of wire.
These were produced and shown to
the doctor, who took possession of
them, and told the lady how they had
come to be in the eggs. He then inter-
viewed the grocer, who finally admitted
that he had been buying eggs for some
time from a man employed by the
doctor. The man is now working else
where, says the New York Times, and
the doctor no longer patronizes that
particular grocer.

NOVEL CURE FOR SNAKE-BITE.
Mosquitoes Save a Mans Life by
Drawing Ont the Poison of
a Rather.

''Tallcn' about rattlesnakes," said
an Erie railroad brakeman, according
to the New York Sun, did you ever
hear how the mosquitoes saved q
mans life up near Gulf Summit, in
Pennsylvania, last summer?
.'Well, while getting out railroad
ties over back of Summit, Abe More
house was bitten in the leg by rat-
tlesnalxe. A doctor was at once sent
for and the leg was bandaged tightly
above the wound. 1t was expected
that Morehouse would die before the
doctor could come up there on his
wheel, but he didn't. just as soon
as the leg was barred to put on the
bandage, it was attacked by swarm
of mosquitoes, and when the doctor
arrived he found the man as well as
ever and lively as cricket, but the
ground was covered with dead and
dying mosquitoes. They had sucked
the poison from Warehouses; wound
and saved his life. This was hard on
the mosquitoes, but / presume More
houses life was worth saving"

WOMEN BUY A HEARsE.
Las Cruces IN. ND CTub Decide That
Town should Have Proper
Funeral Vehicle.

Think of q woman's club buying a
hearse with its first official dollars!
That is the odd proceeding of the Wom-
ans Improvement association at Las
Cruces, N. NJ, and as the president,
Mrs. d. C. Billings, puts it proudly:
MIt's the only hearse in the county"
This enterprising incident indicates
the uphill work of clubwomen in the
sparsely settled southwestern states,
who long for some Of the advantages
and aesthetics of so-called civilization
Ian uphill work, it may be added,
which is unknown to big and thrice
blessed clubs in thickly populated CEN
tiers.
The Las Cruces Woman's Improve
ment association has only II members.
When this ambitious little band organ
lied five years ago, it not only pur-
chased hearse to replace the rude
wagon that had previously served at
the head of funeral professions, but
set about otherwise to improve this
small town, made up mostly Of unpro-
gressive Mexicans and winter tourists.
They bought section of land and pro-
ceeded to convert it into park by
planting trees and putting up pa
vilion. Afterward they purchased
lot for the purpose of erecting, some
prosperous day, public library and
clubhouse under one roof.
"You cIubwomen of the north have
no idea how away-back-in-the-Bi Bible
times these Mexicans," wrote Mrs.
Billings, according to the Pilgrim. eve
women have worked slowly and at
great disadvantage. Several times we
have applied to outside clubs for help,
but, receiving no answer, have decided
we must wait and work"
Atpresentt these clubwomen are build

ton another unusual undertaking, in

PERTAINING TO BRITAIN.

All the food raised in England
would support her population for 5Hs
months only.
For every 100 deaths in rural dus-
tricts of England there are 118 in
town districts
In 1921, 32 of every 100 Britons were
Irish. To-day the proportion is less
than II per cent.
Not ten per cent. of the large wage
earners in the English cutlery trade

mayor of Sheffield
The British governments weekly
revenue is now running nearly $5,-
100000 above 1900. Weekly expendi-
ture is only $1,540,0OO greater.
In England it is possible to insure
nearly everything, from long over
due ship to the life of the king. An
extensive business is now being done
insuring against an attack of small
pox.
Kings college, London, has in the
present session started special classes

in the great South African dominions
can be studied by those who wish to
fit themselves for career in that
part of the world.

dressing nobody in particular and
apropos of nothing, "and want to
tell you people that we all are only
a lot of rocks. Say, did you ever
watch colony of rocks build their
nests in the spring."
Everybody looked refectively away.
"Well, I'll tell you. First rock
picks up stick and puts 1t in his
nest, then goes away after another
one. When he's gone another rock
flies to his nest and steals the stick.
When he gets back he puts down the
second stick, for still another rock
to steal, and starts out after the
first stick. He doesn't find it, and
when he gets back to his nest he
finds the second stick gone, and he
starts after that, scolding and swear
ing in rock fashion.
by this time the other thieves
have been robbed, too, and it only
takes about three sticks to go around
the community and get the whole
blamed community pow-wowing.
Say, amt that human nature?"

cocoANUT PALM IS HANDSOME
Its Long, Graceful Leaves Lend q
Striking beauty to the
Southern Tree.

The cocoanut is one Of the handsom-
est palms by its long, graceful leaves.
1t grows luxuriantly as far north as
Palm Beach, Fla, and few specimens
may be seen little above that point.
Used. to line walks, they present a
picturesque scene, the low branches
curying gracefully overhead. The nuts
and their development are veryVinter-
esting to observe. AS long time is
occupied in the growth of the nuts,
they may be seen on the same tree in
many stages, from small, acorn-like
ones to the immense brown-husked
fellows, all in large punches. The
flowers, too, for new crop, may be
included in the collection.
1t is a matter for concern, says Nee
hams Monthly, that there appears to
be little or no attempt to propagate
cocoanuts in Florida, even though they
be for ornamental purposes only.
They are far from being so plentiful
as they were is years ago.

AN ARTIFICIAL PEARL.
Produced ~ Placing d RAN OF wax
in the she'll OF a Fresh Water
MusseI.

| A ball of beeswax introduced into
the shell of living fresh-water mus
sci has resulted in producing the
most remarkable artificial pearl iii
existence. 1t is about an inch and q
half in length, oval in form and pink
IN color, and is now the property of
the Smithsonian Institution, reports
Washington exchange.
The ball of wax was placed near
the hinge Of the bivalve, which being
in a tank Of fresh water, was care
fully watched. The irritation Of the
wax caused the mollusk to protect
itself by coating the foreign object
with smooth coating of pearl stuff
the same material as that which is
used in lining the inner surface Of its
shell. In the case in question the
result was an enormous pearl. Owing
to pressure, however, the wax bali
lost its spherical shape and become
oval in form.
At the end of two years the mussel
was taken out of the tank and opened
and the pearl removed. The wax
afterward contracted owing to dry
ness, which caused the pearl she'll to
crack. This accident, while destroy
ing the commercial value of the
pearl made it possible to observe the
thickness of the nacreous covering,
which is somewhat greater than that
Of an ordinary sheet of letter paper.
If the pearl were not fiawed it would
be worth an enormous sum of money,
but even as it is it is priceless as a
curiosity.

RED HOUSE ON THE HILL.

When the light is gently fading,
And the busy day is DER,
put down my work Of knitting,
And close the open door.
Then l take quiet journey
To the land of long ago,
See once more the dear, old faces
OF the loved used to know.
With what cheer they come to greet me-
In the twilight soft and still,
AS reach the dear old homestead
Little red house on the hill
Hand in hand we walk together
Up the path that windeth through
Beds of blossoms, bright and fragrant,
Laden with the evening dew.
Here and there / stop to listen
To some mother bird s soft peep
From a nest where little birdlings
Have not quoted to sleep.
And the tall trees nod their welcome,
AS / pass across the sill
OF that home where love enfolds me
Little red house on the hill!
From those windows facing eastward,
From those windows facing west,
car see the pleasant valley,
See the mountains woody crest.
And across the fields in silence,
Pointing heavenward the spire
or the old church where used to
Sing soprano In the choir
There the brook winds through the meadow
On its journey to the mill.
o what beauty lies about thee
Little red house on the hill!
When the darkness softly deepens,
And the evening lights are lit
i return from the sweet visit,
Busily again / knit,
While the children with their prattle
Gather close about my chair,
Knowing not that loving Grandma,
Has been far away somewhere
All the world for me grows brighter,
Sweetest peace my heart doth FILL
When I've been to the old homestead
