Eggs.

An English traveller who has visited
every nation in the world is authority
for the statement that one food is uni
versal throughout all countries. 'There
Is not part Of the world" he says,
where you cannot get an egg" While
In western China, however, he ut first
had some difficulty in getting even
eggs. The natives could not understand
him and refused to recognize the pic
lures he drew as pictures Of eggs. "The
way l got out Of the difficulty" he
adds, "was that l squatted down on
my launches, Tapped my wings and
cock-o-doodle xfoo'd until the entire ma
ton srasped what wanted, and was
simply provided with hundreds Of
eggs"

HoMEslck CADETS. e.z,s,;
The New Man at West Point and tho
Pangs of Nostalgia.

The new nan Mt West Point has one
misfortune to endure throughout the
first few weeks of his coursc-he must
suffer the pangs of homesickness. He
has entered upon n course of disci-
pline quite unlike anything in his ex-
periencc. Every act Of his daily life
Is regulated by an inflexible system.
He has no friend ut hand; the word
sympathy seems to be unknown.
Older cadets look OH, understand, pity,
but give no sign. II. Irving Hancock
says in Life at West Point:''
1t is n common sight for cadet cor
poral, going into the room of "plebe." !"
to find him seated at his table, pen in
hand and Il sheet Of paper before him,
staring blankly ut the paper or the
wall The cadet corporal takes in the
scene before him.
"Homesick. mister!" he asks.
Yes, sir!" replies the plcbe, looking
shamefaced.
Sure sign Il new mans homesick
when he's caught Mt study table writ
Ing his resignation" rejoins the cor
poral composedly.
The plebe, wondering how it is that
the cadet corporal is such mind read
er, flushes, looks Mt the sheet before
him and slowly tears it up.
That's right" says the corporal.
Then, with Il momentary touch of sym
pathy, he goes on: Don't get down
in the mouth. mister. I've been
through the nostalgia drill myself.
It's tough OH you, but when you've
been here little while there's no in
ducement on earth that could make
you leave of your own choice. Brace
up! Inconsistencies hits 'em all at
first"
Then the corporal glances about and
falls at once into the brusQue tone Of
the Instructor.
''See here, mister" he remarks,
policing is one of the most important
duties of the soldier. Your shoe brush
is out of place. Haven't told you
where 1t belongs? And you cap is on
your bed. Now, mister
So he goes ON with list Of criti-
cisms which Mt once reduce life to a
practical level. The plebe has enough
to do for the next half hour in ''tidy-
Ing up" and ut the end of that time
he is not tempted to resume his letter.
