A SUGGESTION MADE IN GERMANY
Professor Wirth Urges President and Kaiser
to Exchange Visits.

Berlin. March professor Albrecht Wirth. of
Munich, to-day contributes a signed article to
Der Tag" on the possibility of President Roose-
Welt and Emperor William exchanging visits
Professor Wirth has connections with the For
eign once and his suggestions, therefore, have
a certain interest He says:
Congressman Nicholas Longworth and Mrs
LougwOrth are expected Ia Berlin in May This
is not the first time that the Presidents daugh-
ter will have represented the United States
automatically. Her journey 10 East Asia had
official character. which was expressed by her
accompanying a member OF the Cabinet.
President Roosevelt himself is not permitted
10 leave American territory. but as an American
warship is also American territory as President
Roosevelt has already proved in practice. why
cannot the President give another example by
visiting Kiel? Emperor William could then
choose a return visit Of the same form, going on
a ,varship to waters near Washington. These
visits would add much 10 the mutual friendship
of the two countries.
Professor With errs in attributing 4 diplomatic
character 10 Inc trip OF the Presidents daughter 10
the Far East The professor also accepts the fa;
lacious theory that the President OF the United
Ststcs may NOT leave American territory.

HENS THAT HATCH FISH.
Chinese Fill Egg Shells with Fish

The talk was of queer eggs--East-

'iThe Chinese are ahead of us In

biologist of the marine laboratory, ac-
ccrding to the Minneapolis Journal.
They, for instance, car make hens
hatch out fish.
This is the way they do it:
They take a hens egg. withdraw
its contents through a tiny hole, and
substitute fish eggs. The opening in
the shell is then closed and the egg is
placed under a setting hen.
The hen suspects nothing, wei
comes the doctored egg, and in a few
days the fish ova are so far advanced
that the Chinese operator has only to
break the shell in warm water and the
little fish come t 0 life at once.

TODD'S OLD FRIEND.
by KENNETH HARRIS.

Todd Scofneld had one consoling
thought. He had several, for that
matter, for he was always disposed to
look on the bright side of things.
But one thought often occurred to him
and gave his spirits an uplift when
they did have a sinking tendenc-'-
that there were bright chances of sue
cess in life for Todd, Jr., for Willie,
jim, Eudora, Emmeline and little
Fred. They were all bright children
exceptionally bright, if Todd did say
1t himself. Todd might have settled
into pretty much o. a rut and, to tell
the truth, he hadn't much hope of aver
getting out of it, but there was no rea-
son in the world why the boys should
not make their mark. AS for the
girls, they were pretty as pictures, and
want them to make any brilliant al
liances with wealthy and titled for
eigners. The duke or baron who got
Eudora or Emmeline either would
have to show a cleaner record than
most of them could, according to the
best of Todd's information. No, a
straight, square, prosperous American
would be good enough for them.
well, there's plenty of time to
think about that, my DEAR" said Mrs.
Scofield. Are you going to manage
to get Willie's shoes this week? The
poor boys feet are nearly on the
ground"
He reused himself with a sigh and
said he supposed he'd have to manage.
Todd started out for the Office,
wherein was his rut, with a bulge in
each side of his t~hreadbare overcoat
bread and butter and cold fried ham
on one side, an apple on the other.
He had intended for some time to get
a neat little leather bag to carry his
lunch in, but somehow he never
seemed to quite get around to 1t. OF
course, he didn't pretend to much
style, but now and then he thought:
Suppose | meet somebody | used to
know" He didn't think that on this
occasion, but he met the somebody
just outside the railway station.
1t was Dave Cotier-Dave grown
stout and more ford than ever-Dave
extensively attired and in the act of
paying a cabman from a fat pocket
book. Todd just caught his eye and
was about to pass on, but Dave
reached out a big red hand decorated
with thick rings and caught him by
the arm. Todd Scoffield, you old
pirate" he growled out in his rum
bling bass, what the devil do you
mean by giving me the CLASSY stare?
Give an account of yourself"
IL didn't think you knew me,
Dave" said Todd. But, of course.
I'm glad to see you"
You look it," said the big man, not
releasing his grasp. you amt sore
on me, are you, Todd?"
why, no." said Todd.
Because when you struck me-say,
how long was that ago? Well, l was
up against it. honest-and then. well,

TWO SKELETONS
IN A HOUSEHOLD.

According to the popular saying,
every family has a skeleton; but the
Lawrence family, on the upper West
side, has two. The first skeleton
made its appearance a couple of years
ago, when the elder Lawrence boy
took up the study of art. With the
enthusiasm Of a student he decided
to purchase a skeleton for the proper
study of anatomy; but knowing the
nervous dispositions of his mother
m sister, he kept the grewsome arti-
Gle hidden in a chest under his bed.
In the night hours, when the fam
lily had retired, the skeleton was
taken from its resting place, suspend
ed from a convenient cord, and the
young student would proceed to in
crease the Lawrence gas bills.
n night. after working harder
than usual, the student determined to
take a little walk along Riverside
drive before retiring. Contrary to his
usual custom, he left the skeleton
hanging and turned the light low.
He had been gone but a few minutes
when his mother, suddenly awaken
Ing, recalled something she had for.
gotten to tell her son. Slipping soft
" up to his room, she pushed the
door open. There in the fitful light
of the turned-down gas she saw the
bony apparition, gave a shrek and
tainted. 1t was nearly two months
before she left her bed, brain fever
having set in.
The younger son OF the Lawrence
family, now nine years old, is consti-
~tutionally timid- To him darkness is
filled with terIors. Repeated efforts
have been made to cure him of tho
affection. but to no purpose. The
memory of the skeleton, too, which
had so frightened his mother was still
with him, although the bones of that
artistic guest had long since been dis
posed of.
The other night the little Lawrence
BOY was asked by his sister to get
something from the closet of her room
ON the second floor. To go up to a
dark room was bad enough for the
BOY, but the thought of entering a
lark closet. in addition, chilled his
blood. He wriggled and Invented ex-
cuse after excuse, but his father, dis
gusted with his c~owardice, peremptori-
" ordered him to go at once. The
boy crawled up stairs most unwill-
ingly, seeing COLLINS and skeletons on
every side. Tremblingly he found his
way to the closet. opened the door
and listened. There was no sound
from the cavernous depths. Cautious
ly he extended his hands. feeling
about for the box, which his sister
had assured him was fright on the
floor near the door" He groped his
way along, reaching out to the right
and left, then
There was a succession of ear-pierc-
ing screams. Mr.. Lawrence, ST..
