Smuggling Partridg &c Eggs.

A singular custom of smuggling by
means of a dummy baby was brought
to light by the city customs officials
at northern station in Vienna.
Partridge eggs have for a long time
been extensively stolen from pre-
served estates in Hungary, smuggled
into Vienna and sold to poultry deal
ers, who Matched the eggs in incu-
bators. brought up the birds by hand
and sold them below the prices asked
by more honest dealers.
A special lookout for %smugglers has
resulted in the arrest of two peasant
women. Arriving in Vienna in the ma
tional Slovenian costume, each OF
thea carried a baby tied, according to
the invariable custom, to a cushion
and so closely packed" hat only the
face was visible.
The women were noticed to be a lit.
tie agitated as they passed the Gus
toms, and they were followed home.
1t was then discovered that while one
baby was a living child the other was
a dummy. 1t consisted of a wax head.
partly hidden by a shawl and a cap.
while the cushion was filled with more
than COO partridge eggs.

Up-to-Da Polar Toys.

The latest French toys are all fur
and ice and American flags and polar
bears. Look here"
The salesman took down a card
board representation of the white
north. Two fur-clad figures, each
holding an American flag, were la
beled Cook and Peary, and a socket
was labeled north pole. When the
toy was wound the two figures fenced
f~iercely with their flags about the
socket until, finally, one of them got
his Flagstaff into the hole.
Here is a new north pole game"
the salesman said. This white pole
is the pole itself, and the figure in
white fur is Cook, while the one in
black is Peary. The game is played
by throwing dice. Each figure is adj
yanced SO many degrees. according
to the number thrown. He wins. of
course, who gets 10 the top OF the
pole first Another toy was an Es-
kimo sledge containing a fur-clad eX-
plorer and drawn by six dogs. A
turn of the key and the dogs galloped
and the explorer dourished his long
dashed whip.

Vocal Training for Babies.

Babies like to initiate. They try to
copy everything older people do. In
MS first playthings are pretty colored
BIRDS, for instance, and when mother
holds up a bird, she sings a tone, al
ways singing the same tone to the
same colored bird, calling it do, re, or
mi, as the Ease may be, it will be
bIt a short time before baby will Try
10 initiate the pitch, quality of tone
and syllable; and before the ordinary
child is a year old, or soon after, it
could have the scale we'll fixed with
voice, ear and eye.
A baby breathes naturally deep,
easy and right.
And if he learns to sing softly, cas-
ily and sweetly before becoming self
conscious, the worst part of a vocal
teachers work would be done before
tie baby was old enough to insist
upon doing things wrong, namely,
breathing and voice placing

The MuIlet in Gulf Waters.

The mullet has always attracted a
goodly share of attention. His fame
is not circumscribed by the boundaries
of the gulf. Whether the visitor be
from the Atlantic or the Pacific coast
OR from the shores of the Mediterran-
can or the Baltic, he wants to see, tx.
anime and feast on the mullet.
He Is the best known fish that
swims. Some have a prejudice against
him, but like all feelings of this ma
ture, ii rests on an unsubstantial foun-
dalton. 1t cannot bear investigation.
for the mullet plays a greater part
in appeasing the craving for sea foods
than any fish that inhabits the waters
of the gulf. He is here in summer
and winter, in fall and in spring.
When the fisherman c~ontemplates his
plight, when luck is against him and
a feeling of depression creeps yer
him. the mullet, always ready TO give
him a helping hand, rushes into his
seine and contributes to his fortune
and TO the gastronomic pleasure of
the thousands of people to whom they
are shipped. He is a regular standby.
In prosperity and in adversely he is
always in abundance. - Pascagoula
Chronicle.

THE CHICKEN AND THE CAR
Not to Speak of the Pony, the Poodle.
the Collie and Others Who Were
in the Mlxup.

\ sort of house-that-Jack-built motor
says hat as a motor car was passing
quietly through a village in New Eng
land Il chicken pursued by a cat sud.
denly crossed the road just in front
of the automobile.
The sudden dash of the chicken and
cat startled a pony, driven by two lit.
tie girls, one of whom had a poodle in
her lap. The poodle jumped out To
give chase to the eat and fell on tha
road right in front of the ear, causing
its driver to pull up suddenly.
Just as this happened a collie travel
ing with its mistress in the ear leaped
out and chased the poodle, which
frightened the pony so that 1t bolted
toward the car. Seeing this, tho
chauffeur drove toward the gutter, but
as the dogs We're fighting there had to
take another curse, colliding finally
with a stone wall and totally %wreckin9
the machine.
The owner of the ear brought an ac'
tion for damages against the owner OF
the chicken. claiming that 1t was re'
sponsible for the damage. In giving
judgment the court argued that there
was no doubt as to the chicken having
been the proXimate cause o. the acct.
dent, for had 1t not crossed the road
the eat would not have scared tho
pony; had the pony not been scared
the poodle would not have got out
of the pony trap; had the poodle not
done so the automobile would not
have stopped and the collie and tho
poodle would not have been In tho
gutter; had the collie and poodle not
been in the gutter the cat would not
haye hung round TO see things
through: had the cal lot remained on
the scene the chicken would not have
been trying to scale the wall, and had
the chicken not been trying to do this
the chauffeur would have kept bis
nerve and saved the machine from ac-
cident.
Yet though the chicken caused the
accident the chickens act was not In
itself violent or dangerous. This
chicken would doubtless have made
a tender broiler; 1t was gentle and in
offensive, and not being ferae naturae
its destruction of the automobile was
unconscious and free from malice.
Therefore the chicken not having ex-
ceeded its COMMON law rights the ac-
ton could not be maintained and judg-
ment was accordingly entered for the
p
defendant.

poina. Fairly Well.

Mrs. o. II. z. Belmont says "Ameri-
can women do not know how to bring
up their children" No doubt there is
some truth in what she says. a large
number of the failures in life may be
traced to improper training during
childhood. There is no denying that
mothers are of the very first impor-
lance; that there is great response
bility upon them, and that they make
many mistakes that might be avoided
If only some expert would tell them
what to do. But Mrs. Belmont should
not be too severe on them in their
ignorance. She should realize that
the American ome are producing
fair average results. considering the
kind of material some of them have
to work with. The American mothers
may not know 1t all, but they are do

HAVING FUN AT TIE TABLE
Stimulating the Appetite by Cheerful.
ness and Freedom from Worry
Is a Good Thing.

It is astonishing to one who has
not studied the subject ~thoughtfully
to learn how completely under the
er of the emotions. the entire diges.
tive apparatus is.
II Is q matter of everyday expert.
ence that the appetite is under the
subsection of the feelings, although
not OF the will. The impulse TO cele.
brate any good news by u dinner is
founded upon the fact that when one
is pleased and elated hunger is ex.
cited. In early times this hunger was
gratihed on the moment, just as the
accompanying thirst too often is now.
but the modern man usually defers
his eating to a suitable occasion.
The loss of appetite caused by bad
news or misfortune of any kind is too
well known TO need more than men.
ton. Worry or physical fatigue will
often act in the same way. The same
causes that destroy the appetite will
arrest or greatly retard the process
of digestion. 1t is a mater of common
experience that any disagreeable oc.
currenee during or just after a meal
will stop digestion and may bring on
a bilious attack with headache. nausea
and a coated tongue. Concentration
of the mind or anxiety will act in the
same way.
On the other hand. as the appetite
Is stimulated by good news and mental
citation, so digestion Is favored by
whatever promotes gayety and high
spirits.
Laugh and grow fat like so many
popular sayings, is an expression
which contains much truth. Dyspep-
STA is a malady that will seldom be
found in the family where the dinner
gives occasion for cheerful talk and
mirth; where all worry and "disgrun-
Element and especially quarrelling,
are under a ban.
Every member of the family should
make it an absolute rule to put worry
and all thoughts of business or study
aside for the moment and to come to
the table prepared to be light hearted
anu gay. lhls is not Only Il mural
duty, but rests upon the very physical
reason that his appetite will be better
and his food will taste better and will
be better digested.
In this connection it goes without
saying hat bills and disagreeable let
tiers should never be the accompani-
ment of the morning meal, because a
day started with chagrin is a very
hard day to straighten out.-Youth's
