CAN YOU TELL?
Whether the Egg in Your Hand Is
Cooked or UncO0ked.

1t was holiday; school was
closed, and as the weather was de-
lightful two young girls and their
brother got leave to spend the after
noon in the woods and carry lunch
basket with them. Among the eata-
bles they had three boiled eggs-one
for each, but just as they were about
to set out young friend called, and
they invited him to accompany them.
thoughtfulness, said to Ter brother:
George, we must add to our lunch
basket Or there may not be enough"
whereupon George went off and got
another egg and put it in the basket,
while his sisters procured cake, etc.
why, George, where did you get
that egg?"
ooh, out of the basket in the eel
lar" was the reply.
But it is not cooked, and we can.
not use a raw egg. Which was the
egg that you put in last?"
But George could not tell; the eggs
all looked just alike, so they felt them
to see which were the warmest, but
they were all equally cold, the boiled
eggs having been cooked early in the
day and taken to the cellar to cool.
They then held them up to the light
and they thought that on eof the eggs
was more transparent tan the rest,
but the difference did not seem to be
so great as to make them quite sure
as to which had been boiled and which
was raw. At last the visitor found
out their dilemma and at once said
that he could easily tell. Taking an
egg between his fingers and his
thumb, he twirled it on the table, and
it spun like top. tThat egg" said
he, "has been boiled" Another was
tried with the same result, and then
he found one that he could not make
spin. THAT said he, sis the raw
egg" And so the puzzle was solved.
Try it; it is an interesting expert
ment, and when those of you are
pursuing your studies in natural
philosophy reach the higher branches,
you will find that it illustrates some
very important principles.

IN lrregular1ty of meals and broken
sleep; in exposure to weather and to
infection; and last but not least, in
the scanty remuneration which his
labor so often brings him.
The combined influence of all these
causes is sufficient to undermine the
strongest constitution long before a
man has reached the limit of three
score and ten. A comparison of tables
compired by lstatisticians in different
countries gives doctors an average of
81 years at death.
Doctors as class are especially
liable to certain diseases. Setting
aside affections due to exposure and
infection, the practice of medicine
leaves disproportionate tribute from
it's professors in the form of diseases
of the cardio-vascular and nervous
systems. Angina pectoris has been
called the doctors disease" neu-
rasthenia deserves to be ranked in the
same category, and severer forms OF
neurosis are, as might be expected,
common among men whose profess
sion compels them to live at the high
est tension both of brain and nerve
force.
It is scarcely to be wondered at,
therefore, that the narcotic habit is
so common among doctors. After all,
what shortens the doctors life is
overwork, mental and bodily strain
marshaling itself at the point of least
resistance.

PENETRATES LAND OF PROMISE

Building a railroad is tough prop
osltlon in any country, but when ev-
cry tie is laid in a swamp the task be-
comes stupendous. That was the diff.
ficulty encountered by the builders of
the Minnesota & International railray
IN Northern Minnesota on practically
every foot of roadbed between Be-
midi and international falls. Next to
building the railroad the most stu
pendous proposition is the upbuilding
OF the country traversed by the rail-
way so as to make the construction of
the line profitable. In the average
FARMING country this is not difficult
proposition. Emigration naturally fol-
lows the railway. Towns are built at
intervals along the line, and, follow
ing the towns, come the farmers to
till the land and sell their produce in
the towns, thus making the soil first
pay them, next the business enter
prises of the towns, and through their
shipments Of freight and consign-
ments of freight to them, and the pas
senger traffic that follows, the railway
gets it's business.
In the country traversed by the
Minnesota & International however,
there are many difficulties to over
come before farming can be made
profitable or the towns can hope to
thrive through the settling of the
country. For miles and miles on eth
er side of the track and along almost
its entire length there is nothing but
dismal waste of swamp, seemingly
unavailable and offering little op-
portunity, at first thought, for the sue
cessful operation of the husbandman.
And yet it is said that the railway
company has built wisely in penetrat-
ing this country and that eventually
it will prove the richest in the produc-
ton of farm wealth of any section of
Minnesota. There are 1000 acres of
swamp land in Itasca county, imme-
diately tributary to the Minnesota &
International railway, that Engineer
Ralph Of the state drainage commits
sion asserts will, ere long, prove the
most productive of all of Minnesota's
ricn farming lands.
That the faith of the railway pro-
moters is not misplaced in this matter
and that their wisdom in penetrating
this wilderness of tamarack swamps
will soon bear fruit is amply testified
to by the courage of the men who
have followed its fortunes into the
swamps. Already there are located
along the line many thriving towns

SA3AT u,

With the joining last week of the
East river tunnels Of the Pennsylva-
mia railroad at New York the work
was completed and now all that re-
mains for the contractors to do is to
calk the joints between the segments,
put on what might be termed the fin
ish, and turn the whole over to the
railroad company for the placing of
tracks and other appliances necessary,
for the safe running of trains.
When this is done the largest COM
pressing plant ever assembled on one
job will be d1smantled and scattered
to the four winds Of heaven, unless
some other large contractor finds a
job sufficiently large to make use of
it.

that are little more than a year old,

many months in age.
Beginning at Brainerd, the line runs
almost directly north through Bel
trami and Itasca counties to Interna-
tional Falls, on the border line be-
tween Northern Minnesota and Can
ada. Originally it was a logging road,
running as far as Bemidji through
Pine RIVER and Walker, the latter the
home of the new state sanatorium for
consumptives and known for several
years as a famous summer resort on
the great Leech lake system of Min
nesota lakes. At Bemidji the road
begins to strike the swamp country
and from there it runs for miles
through a, country that an inexperi-
enced man would get lost in if he.
ventured half mile from the line of
railway.
In the construction of the railway
the builders ran bitches along the line
and connected these with lateral
bitches running a distance of two to
five miles into the swamps. These
bitches have already drained hun
dreds Of acres of the swamp, and on
these lands hardy settlers may be
found tilling the rich soil and fighting
with nature to overcome the difficult
ties, with which they have to contend.
The state has already appropriated
considerable sum of money to ex-
tend drainage work in this swamp
land, and in a few years it is expected
that practically all of this section Of
the great swamp area Of Northern
Minnesota will be reclaimed and rem
dered fit for cultivation.

The whole affair is so simple as to
require practically no attention, ex-
cept an occasional oiling, which is no
