10 PUT AN EGe INTO A BOTTLE.

IF you were to see an egg en-
closed in a bottle with neck so mar
row that it would scarcely admit of the
passage of an object one half the size
Of the egg, it would give you just
cause for wonder and amazement,
wouldn't it?" Mr.. R. w. Brandon
said to me.
And yet it is an exceedingly sim
pie and easy trick to perform. In or
der to accomplish it with entire sue
cess, an egg of any size may be taken
and placed in a quantity of vinegar,
enough to cover the egg completely
and in the vinegar it should be allow
ed to stand for three or four days.
During this time the vinegar will
gradually absorb all the lime in the
she'll, thus rendering it as soft and
pliable as piece of cloth, but with
out altering its appearance in the least.
The egg may then be taken and forced
through the neck Of a bottle, one not
toosmall however, but due care should
be observed in this, for any punching
or scratching with the fingers will be
apt to perforate the shell. The best
slightly between the palms OF the
hands. The bottle should also be
held so that the egg will slide easily
down the side and not drop Once
the egg is inside, fill the bottle half
full of lime water and let stand thus
several days. The shell will absorb
the lime, and in this way resume its
former hard and brittle condition,
after which the water may be poured
of, and in the perfect egg in marrow
necked bottle one has a decidedly
curious object"

Don't abuse your watch. These
little workers that tirelessly tick
along, even when their owners are
asleep, are worthy Of far better treat
ment than they receive. Fully 90
per cent. Of the people who carry
watch never give them thought.
Take, for instance, the simple pro-
cess Of winding watch. There is
right and wrong way of doing it.
Whether it be by key or a stem it
should be wound in the morning.
Turn slowly and avoid all jerky
movements. The watch will then
work best during the day, as the spring
will exert its strongest traction power,
whereby the external jostling infiict-
ed on the watch by your daily work
and walks are fairly counter balanced.
When watch is wound at night
it has only the weakened spring to
offer as resistance to the jerks and jolts
of the daytime. The morning wind
ing also lessons the danger Of breaking
the handspring, which being no longer
at full tension at night can stand the
cold better. The difference in tenn
perature between your breast or
mans waistcoat pocket and wall
that may be nearly at the freezing
point is about II to SO degrees F., and
watch should therefore never be
suspended or laid against cold sur
face. Sudden change in the tenn
perature of the atmosphere is the
caused most mainsprings breaking.
The watch wearer should clean his
or her pockets frequently, carefully
brushing out all the dust and fiber,
for there was never a joining made
tight enough to keep ont all the dust.
This gets into the oil which has thick
ended with time and necessarily pro-
duces irregularities of rate. Even
with the greatest care watch should
be cleaned once in eighteen months,
and every year would be better. BY
this time the oil dries up and mixes
with the metallic dust. 1t grinds
away on the works like emery.
When you smash your watch glass
shake out the broken glass, open the
little rim that holds it, the bezel; lay
over the face a piece of tissue paper and
shut the bezel. This will save the
hands catching in things and not
interfere with the going of the watch
until you can get the glass put in.

WALKING IN CIRCLES.

tits a matter of common knowledge
that when man is walking blindfold-
ed or is lost in fog or in some un-
known forest or desert instead of
walking straight he has always a
tendency to work round in circle.
The most commonly accepted expla-
nation of this curious fact is the slight
inequality of a mans legs. The
result of one limb being longer than
the other will naturally be that per-
son will unconsciously take longer
step with the longer limb, and con-
sequently will trend to the right or
tothe left, according as the left or right
is the longer, unless the tendency to
deviation is corrected by the eye.
This explanation is supported by
the fact that in the enormous MAORI
ty of cases the human legs are proved
to be of unequal length. The care
full measurements of series of skel-
etons showed that no less than 90 per
cent. had the lower limbs unequal in
length; IS per cent had the right limb
longer than the left, while in SIS per
cent. the left leg was the longer. The
left leg being, Therefore, more often
the longer, it is to be expected that
the inclination should take place more
frequently to the right than to the
left, and this conclusion is quite borne
out by observations made a number
of persons when walking blindfolded.
THEKE Is one class of girls who are
confident of marrying, and marrying
well and who rarely succeed in their
obiect--the class that puts on airs.
No folly is so certain to debar one
from marriage as this, and, though it
is a malady from which all classes
suffer, the girl OF the middle class
generally has it in its worst form.
Gentlewomen never put on airs, be-
cause good breeding and conceit do
not go together and the girl who is
born in humble sphere of life and
works for her own living soon acquires
too much common sense to be conceit-
ed. It is the girl who apes the lady
that looks in vain for husband.
A BUFFALO girl Rugged her lover
so hard that she broke one of his ribs,
and now he is suing her for 81, 900
damages. It is said that the girl was
taking advantage of the privileges of
leap year in making a proposal and
followed it up with an athletic de-
monstration of affection. The idea
naturally suggests itself that was the
way Adam lost his rib simultaneous
ly with the appearance of his bride.
That must have been the first leap
year.
