Novel Easter Eggs.

An exchange gives some very inter

torpedo boat is to blow out the con-

holes around the egg and glue on bow
and a stern cut from cigar box or a
Shingle. The SmOkeStack is made Of
cardboard. painted black, and the rail-
ing of wooden tOothpicks, glued in a
circle of cardboard. which slips over
the SmOkestack and is kept in place by
a touch of glue. The American flag
flies from over the smOkestack and is
kept in place with toothpick. If a
needle is put into the bow, the boat
can be drawn through the water by a

a more peaceable toy is the agile

Scarcity of FREIGHT Cars.

During 1906" writes George R. Met

World Magazine, "the railroads Of the
United States ordered new locomotives
to the number of $500, together with
$500 passenger cars and 100000 freight
cars. These last figures give a good
idea of the relative Importance of pas
senger and freigh traffic to a large rail
road. The rail mills started the new
year with orders for 100000 tons or

great orders and in spite of the

Cock Fighting Among the Greeks.

The sport of cock fighting
seems to have originated with
Themistocles of Greece. When
he was leading an army against
the Persians he noted two cocks
in a desperate battle.
To stimulate the courage Of
his soldiers, he pointed out the
bravery of birds, and having. won
his battle with the Persians, he
ordered that an annual cock
fight should be held to celebrate
his victory.
In England the records show
that the first cock fight took
place in 1191.
