pur SQUIRE IN A BAD LIGHT.
crcumstantlal Evidence in Raid on
Melon Patch.

Melon Patch.
About forty years ago Squire"
Worcester Of Townsend, Mass, had a
law office at Groton Junction. now
Aver and went back and forth each
day upon the train. One morning as
he was on his way to the station he
was accosted by neighbor, Dea.
Peckham, who wanted some advice
about catching the young rascals"
who were stealing his melons. Get
some evidence" said the squire, "and
III see you again"
The next morning the squire was
again accosted by the deacon. who
asked him to take look at the melon
patch. Now, the squire was afflicted
with lameness that compelled him
to wear boot having an iron half
circle on the sole, and judge Of his
establishment to find the soft earth in
the deacons melon patch completely
tracked over with imprints Of that
iron boot"
We'll" said the squire, as he start
ed for the station, @circumstantial evil
dence, purely circumstantial."
Perhaps the squire's son, "Joe," as
he was then called q think he is now
practicing lawyer), could have ex-
planned the matter If he had not
been in fear that the same "circum-
stantiaI evidence" might interfere
with his sitting down comfortably at
supper time.-Boston Herald.

How Spanish Courtesy Heaped Hon.
ors on Chicago Man.
An amusing story comes by late
arrival from London. It seems that
the Infanta Eulalia, while staying in
England, a couple of years ago, re-
ceived from a Chicago man who had
seen her at a distance at the Worlds
Fair a letter, in which he wrote her
that he had named his daughter, born
on the Infanta's birthday. Feb. 2, Eu-
lalia, in honor of her Royal Highness.
The Princess kindly instructed her
secretary to reply, thanking him for
the honor The secretary, knowing
no English and desiring to be ex-
tremely courteous, copied on the en-
velope inclosing the Infanta's thanks
the address and other matter from the
business letterhead used by the Chi
cago man. The envelope, as it left
the English post, was carefully, if
somewhat ornately, inscribed as fol-
lows: ITO the Most Illustrious Mr..
John Jones, Sanitary Plumber, Deal
er in Secondhand Gas Fittings;
Kitchen Boilers Cleaned; Old Scrap
Iron Bought at Highest Prices; West
Forty-seyenth Street, Chicago, H., U.
S. Az The secretary meanwhile con
graduated himself on none Of the re-
cipient's supposed honorary and other
titles being omitted.

Work Not Chief End Of Lie.

Someone has said that no man, day

up to the full measure of his capaci-
ties, no matter where he works. Man
ifestly this is true, and it is necessar
lily so. Work is not the chief end Of
life. and where some mistaken indi-
vidual has tried to make 1t so he has
marred his existence. Insanity. chron-
ic invalidism and early dissolution

origin Of Ancient SAYING.

A popular explanation of the origin
a. the expression Everything is
lovely and the goose hangs high" is
this: That it comes from the south
ern country amusement known as
goose pulling" A goose. its neck
carefully pluckeJ, and well creased,
was hung by its feet to branch of
tree. The men would ride past at
gallop. trying to catch it by the neck
and pull its head off The better the
goose was in dodging, the greater the
fun. When the goose hung high, SO
that the competitors had 10 stand ir
their stirrups to grasp it. the Joy was
greatest. Another suggested origin
is that it refers to the fact that wild
geese fly high in clear weather; this
explanation would change hangs" to
'honks."

EGGS ALL CONTAIN A POISON
Action Of Gastric Juices and Bile Pre-
vents Bad Effects.

Action Of Gastric Juices and Bile Pre-
vents Bad Effects.
Paragraphs have been extensively
published in the daily papers dealing
with the researches of NJ. Loisel of
Paris on the recurrence of poisonous
principles in eggs. 1t seems that the
yolk of the eggs of hens, ducks and
tortoises contain a poison which, II
injected into the veins or otherwise
inoculated into the animal body,
causes death from its effects on the
nervous system. The white of the tor
toise's egg also contains toxic sub
stance.
Why eggs are not poisonous as or
dinarily Used or even when eaten raw
may be explained on the ground that
the action of digestion alters the com
position Of the egg or at least modifies
it so that Ill effects are avoided. In
deed, it is easy to show that certain
foods at a particular stage of digestion
are ''poisons." 1t is the action of the
liver on such foods which robs them
of their power to do harm.
