PRETTY QUESTION TO DECIDE
Yet by the Terms of the Bet 1t Would
Seem the Sporting Editor
Was Right.

Recently one young man bet am
other that he could not break an egg
placed on the floor of their room by
hitting it with barrel. The second
young man promptly took the bet.
Thereupon the first young man
carefully placed an egg in corner
of the room, just where the walls
made a right angle, so that it was
impossible for the other to hit the
egg with an ordinary barrel.
Then the first young man proceed
ed to gloat.
But the other suddenly produced
a revolver and broke the egg by tap
ping it smartly with the barrel of
the weapon. Then he demanded the
money. -
There was quite dispute natural
ly. Finally the two agreed to submit
the question to the editor of sport
ing paper. In due time the answer
came. The sporting authority de-
cided that the second young man
was the winner of the bet, since the
other had not specified in any way
what kind of barrel should be used
for the destruction of the egg.

NO PROTECTION FOR SNAILS
French Authorities, After Grave Con.
sideration, Decide They Are
Not Game.

The civil status of the snail has
been decided by the French council
of state. Last year the general coun-
Gil of the Yonne department passed
a resolution that the snail should be
treated as game and so should re-
ceive the benefit of a close season.
Gourmets rejoiced, for the future
of this delicacy seemed once more as
sured, but the Yonne councillors for
got the administration" without
which nothing moves in France.
Their resolution was forwarded to
the project who sent it to the minis
ter of agriculture.
The ministry pondered over it
for nearly year and examined all
the laws that touched on the ques-
ton. This inquiry has resulted in a
circular published in the Bulletin
de PAgriculture which declares that
the snail is neither game nor fish,
but only an agricultural parasite D
and as such can be destroyed at all
times and all seasons.
The Yonne councillors are now
thinbing of introducing a special law
into the chamber to protect the
snail.

caused several barrels of Albemarle
pippins to be presented to Queen
Victoria. From that time until her
death the pippin was the apple eaten
at the Court of st. James, and it
may be that King Edward keeps up
the custom of his mother. AT any
