San egg in the process of Matching"
says an expert, "is RENAL kably sensi-
tive to vibration. Half the failures
that amateurs encounter in Matching

are due to lack of precaution in pro-

on the eggs. The rumble of train or
the passage of wagon along the

Of eggs if the faintest vibratory wave
reaches the apparatus. Even such a

ALWAYS SOMETHING TOLEARN
A. Man Who Lived to the Age of 70
Before He Learned to Blow
His Nose,

President Eliot was arguing in favor
OF education, one night recently, says
the Boston journal. He said that he
was learning something every day by
being shown how"
He illustrated his point by describing
the training of medical students and
concluded by telling of an old friend
of his who had suddenly become deaf
in one ear.
"How did this happen?" l asked him.
"Well, | was blowing my nose the
other day, when felt something snap
in my ear, followed by an aching and
dullness.
when the doctor came heraid the
drum had split and asked now | did it.
81 only blew my nose told the
doctor.
well, had you opened your mouth
when you blew your nose you would not
now have damaged ear drum was the
medico's reply.
you see, my friend had lived 70 years
and had never been shown how to blow
his nose" concluded President Eliot.
The application was appreciated and
greeted with a great burst of laughter.

An Early Love Affair

1t is common report in Spain that
the king will marry his cousin, Prin-
cess Medina-Coeli. This may be true
or it may not, but it is certain that the
two children played together from
babyhood, and regarded themselves
as betrothed 20 each other, says Mod
ern Society. 81 will never marry you,
you nasty boy!" cried the tiny prin-
cess with delicious pout, on one occa-
sion when his majesty offended her
highness. "Oh, very WE'LL" coolIy re-
marked the somewhat ungallant pro-

GIVES AWAY NICKELS,
novel Method of q New York Store
keeper 20 Attract the Notice
of Customers.

A shopkeeper is this year calling the
attention of customers and those he
desires as such to his wares by a novel
method, says the New York Sun. The
person to whom it is addressed re-
lceives by mail well-filled envelope,
with no external markings to indicat e
PTS contents, but up in the left-hand
'.orner of the envelope are printed the
words: The five cents is inside"
The appearance of the envelope, to-
gether with the notice, is calculated to
induce curiosity at once. The state
ment that the five cents is ms ide is
true, for on opening the letter a
bright new nickel of 1902 date is found
tucked away between the middle pages
of pamphlet.
The explanation given in the PAM
phlet is that the sender is not stealer
of other peoples time, and that as it
was calculated that the recipient
would use up five cents worth OF
his own time in reading the shopkeep-
er's story, the latter had decided to be
honest and pay for the time used or
purchased" as he puts it, and he
therefore inclosed nickel in payment.
Whether the method pays the shop
keeper is not yet settled question.

MOST ANCIENT OF CROWNS.
The Iron Crown of JOmbardy, Which
Is Said to COnta I'm n Nail from
the Savior's Cross.

Among the crowns preserving the
ancient form more than any others
now worn is the so-called iron crown
of Lombardy. which is the most treas
ured national possessionaof the Italian
kingdom, says an article by the Duke
of Argyle, in Leslie's Monthly. 1t is
of golden plaques" or panels rather
longer than they are high, but small
in size, so as not to rise above the top
of the head. They form, indeed, only
a iointed band of foliaged, embossed
relief-work, and one narrow wire of
iron binds them together in the inside
this wire having the repute of being
hammered out from one of the nails
of our Saviour's cross. 1t was the en-
largement Of these panels in other
crowns which led to the GRASSLAND or
"closure" of the crown. Look at the
German crown and the Austrian, both
adaptations of that of the old en-
perors OF the Holy Roman Empire"
The "arch of empire" became the re-
suit in the crown of the necessity for
fastening panels for protection for the
head from any stroke from above de-

Under the auspices of the San Fran
cisco Girls union hotel exclusively
tor women has been erected and tn
members of the organization are con
graduating themselves upon their
new possession. The union has been
in existence since 1884 and was
formed for the purpose of aiding
self-dependent, self-respecting girls
to live in nice surroundings at a cost
in accordance with their means. The
society has had IA house for some
time, but it is not to be compared
with the new hotel. The home is self
supporting and an average of 40
wage-earning women call it home.
In the hotel so rooms are to be rent
ed, the price per month ranging from
four dollars to six dollars. The board
Is $12 per month. The rooms are well
furnished and commodious and each
has stationary washstand. The
house is exceedingly well planned and
provision has been made for class
rooms, as the union proposes to con
duct classes in literature, music, sew
ing, typewriting and other subjects.

HAND KISSING LEAGUE.
An Extraordinary Organization Re-
Gently Formed by Partisan
Exquisites.

Some Partisan exquisites of both
sexes have just formed the hand
kissing league" Men belonging to it
VOW never to shake, or even squeeze,
a woman's hand. In lieu of that form
of salute they imprint light kiss ON
her fingers or her wrist. Women be
longing to the league bind themselves
to cut any man refusing to discard
what our neighbors call "le shake
hand" in favor of the dainty and
daintily named ''le baise-main."
The new association, reports Lon
don paper, is framing a code of hand
kissing. This will define various
forms of "baise-main," and will
specify under what particular circum-
stances each is to be employed. 1t is
already decided that the slight touch
ing of the tips of two fingers of a
feminine hand by mans lips is the
most frigid form of the greeting.

THE ORNAMENT WAS LOADED.
A Hornets Nest Comes to Life Under
the Induence of Warmth I'm
the House.

The residence of Hiram Fulton, Of
Hartranft, Montgomery county, pre-
sented a scene of CONSERVATION and dis
may several days ago, when a swarm
of hornets took possession of the en-
tire house unexpectedly, reports the
Philadelphia Telegraph.
Last fall Mr.. Fulton found an excel
lent species of hornets nest, and find
ing it perfect and intact, he thought it
would make an excellent ornament for
his home. Acting on the impulse, he
took the nest home and hung it in the
parlor. That portion of the house was
used very little during the winter, and
several days ago, when his wife was
preparing the house for visitors. a fire
was started in the parlor. The room
soon became warm, and their atten-
ton was shortly attracted by loud
buzzing, and the next instant the room
was filled with hornets that came from
the ornamental nest. The heat caused
them to come out, and resulted in a
rush to escape from the room. Several
of the family suffered from coming in
contact with the business end of the
insects, and over an hours time was
consumed driving them from the house.

black ut the Races Goes Back
to the DOOkies

What is the difference between Ma
poleon of finance and plain gambler?
A New York bootblack painfully real
ICES that there is a difference, al
though perhaps he cannot explain it
in logical argument and elegant
phrase, says the Rochester Democrat
and Chronicle. Last year, having laid
by a few hundred dollars, he played
the races and won $4,000. This year
he tried the same game and lost all
his winnings, as well as his original
capital. Being not altogether friend
less, ne managed to borrow enough
money to buy new bootblacking out
fit, and is now industriously shining
footwear and gathering in nickels
and dimes. If he keeps at it he will
soon be out of debt and again become
a modest depositor in some good saw
ings bank. He has had his experience,
and it was rather harsh, but it may
do him good. Let him renounce Ma
poleonic ambitions, stick to his bust
ness and save his money. The races
are treacherous things for those who
play them, and the rocket-and-stick
performance is less productive of hap
piness than that steady thrift which
is sure. even if slow, as a promoter of
prosperity and builder of character.

PRESENT VOLCANIC ACTIVITY.
Regions of the Western Hemisphere
That Are the Most Liable to
an UpheavaL.

The active volcanic groups of the
western hemisphere occur in five
widely separated regions, says Prof.
Robert Il. Hill, in Century.
1. The Andean group of volcanoes
of the equatorial region of western
South America.
2. The chain of some 25 great Gin
der cones which stretch east and
west across the south end of the
Mexican plateau.
3. The Central American group,
with it's 81 active craters, extending
diagonally across the western ends
of the east and west folds 81 the Car
ibbean corrugations, fringing the Pa
cific side of Guatemala, San Salvador
and Costa Rica. This is separated
from the Mexican group on the north
by large nonvolcanic area, the 18TH
mus of Tehuantepec, and on the
south from the Andean volcanoes by
the isthmus of Panama. where no &C
tive volcanoes are found.
4. The chain of volcanoes of the
Windward islands, marking the east
ern gate of the Caribbean sea, stand
ing in a line directly across the east
ern termini of the Caribbean noun
tains, trending east and west, and
parallel to the Central American
group similarly situated at their
western termini.
S. The volcanoes of Alaska and the
Aieutian islands.
