AN INFANT PRODIGY.
Sir John Eveiyn's Tribute to His Won
derfuI Child

derful ChIld.
Of all the stories of infant marvels
the most touching is that told by Sir
John Evelyn in his diary when he re-
cords in his quaint. dignified style the
death of his wonderful little boy:
''Died my deare son Richard, to our
inexpresSible griefe and affection. five
years and three days onely, but at that

TELLING a Cows Ace.

A cows age is indicated by her
horns. At the age of two a ring Of
thick material forms at the base of
each horn, and one ring is added every
year after this becomes apparent. To
find the age, therefore, count the rings
and add two. In the case Of a bull,
however, the first ring does not appear
until he is five years old, and one an
nual ring appears after that, SO to the
number Of rings on bulls horns five
must be added. The result attained is,
however, only approximately correct,
for not only is the time of appearance
of the first ring uncertain, but occa-
sionally two rings appear in one year,
and then again sometimes a year is
omitted. no ring being formed. A dis
honest dealer can also change the ap-
parent age of the animal by filing off
some of the rings from its horns, so
that complete reliance OF this sign is
sometimes very deceptive.-E Exchange.
Very Polite.
Here's an account of a. man." said
Mrs. Gadsby, "who hasn't spoken a
word to his wife in three years."
That's rather a rigid adherence to
one of the rules of politeness," said
Gadsby.
"Rules of politenessm said Mrs.
Gadsby in a scornful tone.

she is talking"
Eccs as Food.
German doctors have been investi-
eating the length of time that eggs are
retained in the stomach. If it be
granted that the length of time that
food is retained in the stomach is
measure Of it's digestibility, lightly
cooked eggs are the most digestible;
next come raw eggs, then buttered
eggs and finally hard boiled eggs and
eggs in an omelet. The nitrogen of
hard boiled eggs is absorbed to about
the same extent as that of meat, but
the fat is much better absorbed than
that of meat. Another investigator
showed that lightly boiled eggs and
raw eggs have a higher food value as
part Of a mixed diet than a CORE
sponding amount of meat.

Misplaced His Meat,

A Norbonne man bought 20 cents
worth of steak and received a nickel
IN change. When he got home he
couldn't find the meat. At last he dis.
covered the nickel in his coat pocket.
That gave him the clew. and, opening
his purse, he found where he had put
the steak.-Kansas City Star.
