Fred b. Hall, expert billiardist, will
give an exhibition at the Commercial
club tonight. A preliminary show Of
what he can do with the cue took place
at the club last night. Those mems
bers who happened to see him declare
that he can do the impossible. And
when Ii comes to cards they say he
would not be the mar to sit in a little
game with. He can make four aces
come to the dealer in some unseen
and unexplained manner Other things
equally strange are in his power when
he holds the cards and it did seem that
he had control over the deck ven
when ii was not in his hands.
The Cheyenne Leader speaks as fol
lows of his work:
Probably the most difficult feat per-
formed by Hall was the pocketing OF
fourteen balls at one shot. Six balls
were arranged in two semi-circles near
the head of the table, one before each
head pocket, two before each side
pocket and one before each foot peck
let. The cue ball was directed against
the semicircles, projecting n each
of the six balls against the balls be-
fore the pockets. Each of the corner
balls is pocketed BY the impact, the
balls from the semi-circles following
them into the pockets. One each of
the balls before the side pockets Is
projected into the pocket, the ball
from the semi circle following into the
pocket, and the remaining two balls
before the side pockets are pocketed
in the foot pockets.
@At the conclusion Of the pool ex-
hibition Hall performed some surpris.
ing tricks with cards. He claims TO
be the champion exhibition pool play

idea of what Mr.. Hall is prepared to.
do. This is but n Of many Of his

CURRENT EVENTS.
The Uses of the Egg.

The career OF the egg may not be
romantic, but frequently it is interest
ing. The full and perfect career is
without doubt to develop into Il lusty
young chick, a rolly-polly ball Of yell
low down with p~laintive peek and tooth
pick legs.
But the full and perfect career is
as rare among eggs as among
human beings, for many things
intervene to cut il short, and its useful
ness is diverted into channels of which
few housewives and poultry r~aisers
dream.
Several fates lie in wait for the fresh
clean egg that reaches market, with
dozens of its fellows, i'll its ~pasteboard
compartme nts of the typical egg case.
1t may be sold for domestic uses and be
fried with a piece of ham or bacon, or
become an ingredient of the numerous
products of the housewives baking day.
IL may form part of a most tempting
drink or fall into the hands of II hair
dresser or barber, and cleanse the raven
locks of II debutante or the name Of "A
policeman.
1t may be that the egg is broken on
it's way to market, or its SHELLS checked
so that it will not sell. Then it is broken
with countless others into five gallon
cans and frozen. The rumor is that
these frozen eggs are sold to bakers in
the larger cities to be used in winter.
Should the egg survive until it passes
the zenith of its existence and enters
into n decline, it may be sent to some
of the large coffee roasters of the east.
and be used to glaze coffee.
Even should the egg survive the first
period of decline, and enter into The
last stage it is not without value. Ii is
used commercially for tanning kid
gloves and other fine feathers.
The usefulness of the egg is not
exhausted when it has met with one of
these several fates. The shells, where
large quantities of eggs are used, are
carefully gathered, and the portion
which is not used for hen food is ground
and forms a common adulterant for
spices. The shell can be roasted to the
desired shade, is absolutely harmless,
and is very difficult for any but the
chemist to detect.

Malay Poetry.

The Malays possess a poetical u
ture and. like the Japanese, regard the
writing Of poetry as IN art to be as
PRED to by anybody. Short couplets
are their delight, especially those with
q little moral attached. One founded
on the weather tends to comfort a per-
o who has been badly treated: Now
1t is wet, now 1t is fine. A day will
come for retaliation" Then, again, Of
lovers they say, ".As the owl signs
longingly for the moon" A young
and pretty bride they speak Of AS be-
ing like a sarong not yet unfolded,"
an apt illustration when one thinks OF
the bright colors Of new sarongs.

You're a good little wife and | don't
know that | would do without you he
said. And as he spoke he put his arms
around her and kissed her, and she for
got all her cares in that moment. And
when he had gone she sang as she
washed the dishes, and sang as she
made the beds. The song was heard
next door and a woman there caught
the refrain and sang also, and two
homes were happier because he had told
her that sweet, old story-the story Of a
love OF u husband for Il wife.
As she sang, the butcher boy, who
called for an order, heard it and went
away whistling, And the world heard
the whistle.and it made others whistle.
And because she sang, her heart was
mellow, and as she opened the back
door the cool breeze kissed her cheeks
aud she thought of a poor old woman
she knew, and a little basket of delica-
cies went over to that poverty stricken
home,
So, because he kissed her, the song
came, and the influence went out and
out. -Marshalltown Reflector.
And yet they say there are microbes
in a kiss.-Eaglc Groves Times Gazette.
Which is undoubtedly true, since the
learned scientists tell us so, but her
there are microbes and microbes. And
the germs which breed a holy love
between man and woman are about the
only kind not being combatted by the
present century physician. He knows
there is no remedy for the disease, once
it is firmly Implanted, and he usually
contents himself with a diagnosis of the
case, 4 shake of the head and a confess
sion hat he can do nothing.
There can ssbe no question that the
disease is infectious, even contagious, as
the above case indicates, yet the little
world about the woman who sang
because her husband kissed her was the
better for it.
There are microbes in a kiss, undoubt
edly, but if there were ten thousand
deadly germs for each, the practice
would not grow less, but would be
rendered all the sweeter by the danger
Gus element connected with the process.
