CENTRAL UNION
Children's Day Marked by Many
Pretty Little Ceremonies in
Auditorium.

Little children reigned yesterday
morning in the Central Union Church,
the day having been SET aside for the
youngest among US, who filed half
the spacious auditorium on the pretty
occasion. The meeting was directed by
Ed Towse, and was opened by the chill
dren marching INTO the church audito-
rum and taking their seats in the cen
ter. over half the peWS We're reserved
for them.
The first number on the program was
a professional by seventy little tots Of
the sunbeam class under SIX years of
age They marched around the aisles
singing ''Onward Christian soldiers. -
Then charts were shown exhibiting the
progress of the Sunday school classes
and the nature of their organization.
At present they are graded similar to
the public schools, and while this sys-
tenn has been established but a year, 1t
has proven a great success.
Hymns were sung by the coDgrega-
ton, the thinner voices Of the children
hushing those of their elders. Recita-
tions were given by Walter Sampson,
Margaret Scudder and Ronald Higgins.
Doctor Scudder performed the service
known as the Recognition of the Chill
dren Of the Church, those who were
baptized seven years ago receiving
Bibles. The service was followed by q
song by the primary department, in
which forty or fifty voices joined

Too Sig TO Land by Hook and Line,
Sea Denizen Gives Fisherman
Startling Experience.

New York.-Captain Charles Penny
of Flanders, L. l., is probably the first
man who has successfully ridden a
bucking porpoise.
The porpoise was a big bull, head OF
a herd of twenty, which had interfered
with the fishing of Penny and his asso.
ciates. They decided to shoot him and
did wound him. Then they found they
had no boathook to land their prize
Wait a minute, boys; I'm going to
have that fellow" said Penny. With
out removing shoes, clothes or hat, he
leaped overheard. landed astride of the
broad back of the FISH, twisted his feet
around his body and his arms around
the neck and hung on.
The fish found n new spark Of life
when this unlocked for enemy landed
on his upper deck. He gave a snort
and dived for the bottom of Peconic
bay
This did not frighten Penny, for he
is about as much at home in the water
as the porpoise, and, as to speed, he
had attempted some of that on land in
running an automobile. He knew, too,
that the fish would have to come to

Blandford, Shady Cove, Lakewood,
stood for three hours IN great anxiety
on the lake front in the rear of her
hcme the other morning watching sig
mails Of distress from six men in a
swamped power boat three miles from
shore in a choppy sea.
This was after she had done every
thing in her power to save the inn
periled men. Mrs. Blandford was
looking out on the lake when her at
tention was attracted by something
white waving off shore. Immediately
a thought struck her it was a danger
signal. She rushed into the house for
her field glasses, and through them
could plainly distinguish six men in
launch bailing water with all their
might. One Of the men was frantical-
ly waving a white cloth fastened to
cane.
She hurried to the telephone in her
home and called up the lfe-saving
crew. Then, you should have seen

ATE INK NUTS BY MISTAKE
Long Island Folk Thought They Were
Mushrooms-All Seized With
Nausea and Celirium.

Hampstead, L. I-Gathering in Gar
den City park what looked like mush,
rooms, but proved to be ink nuts, re.
suited in serious illness to more than
a dozen persons here the other day
Mrs. F. A. Sawyer and her daughter,
Mrs. Keith Trask, one Of the trio of
fasters, with their maid, were all
seized with acute nausea and delirium
directly after eating the nuts at lun-
cheon.
DR.. Charles d. Cleghorn and r. d.
Grimmer were summoned and strong
salts were administered with other
remedies. Mrs Sawyer was delirious
for six hours and in a critical condi-
tion. Mrs. Trask and the maid re-
sponded more quickly TO the treat
ment but it took three days for them
to regain their normal condition.
Members Of E. D. w. Blecker's and
DR.. Joseph O'Connors families also
had a similar experience after eating
ink nuts. These nuts have slim stems
and straight leaves turning up, all OF
which are reverse characteristics of
the umbrella edible mushrooms, ap-
pearing only in the autumn on the
Hampstead plains.

How about the supply of worthless

There is no diminution in their

ever with us. The cat is a more elu.
sive animal than the dog. 1t can skin
over the backyard fences and hide in
inaccessible places. The dog can't
climb. The cat is harder, therefore,
to capture. We hesitate to deal with
cats in many cases because warning
neighbors often grab each others pet
cats and send them to us for final
treatment. We are thus made inno-
cent parties to family quarrels. We
are doing all we can, however, to ex-
terminate cats"

Sell Eggs by the Pound in New J

Within week, $4,000 dozen Of eggs
from those countries have been reoeiy'
cd In New York City by way Of Hull,
England, and are now In the local mar
wet. AS many more are on the way,
and they sell for few cents less than
the American egg, Covered with a
parafin preparation which excludes
the air, they remain In the fresh"
class for long time
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, the vgoern-
ment food expert, told congress,
through committee, that there is on
Iy one sure way to get fresh egg
that is to watch the hen, seize her egg
the instant she lays It, boil It or fry
Il on the spot and eat Immediately be-
fore a commission merchant or a cold
storage man sees you. That Is not
always practicable. Another test Is 10
drop the egg in a bowl Of water CON
tanning 10 per cent solution Of com
mon salt If the egg sinks II is fresh;
If It floats It Is only fresh In a trade
sense. which IS an entirely different
matter. Just what a poor showing the
eggs consumed In this city every day
would make under such a test Is
shown by simple sum In arithmetic.
Assuming that the population OF
New York City is 100000, there are
enough eggs sold for every man, wo-
man and child in the town to have one
a day. Putting It IN the figures OF the
trade. there are $4,000 cases Of eggs
used by the New York people every
week Each case contains thirty
dozen. so the total for every seyen-day
period Is 100000 dozen, or approx
mately 28,OOOOOO eggs. That Is what
tbe town eats. But the receipts OF
the genuine fresh eggs sold there with
in a week after their production on
nearby farms do not exceed 100000
eggs, as against that total of 2S,OOO,-
600. So the 22,OOO,OOO and odd eggs
must come out of the cold storage and
from the foreign supply and the ship
ments f~Jm remote sections Of this
country.
It is possible that if the New York
idea of selling eggs by the pound
proves practical and satisfactory other
cities may follow suit. If they do the
wholesaler declares the retailer must
rearrauge his prices to suit. So far as
the former is concerned the rates are
not affected. The average weight of
case of eggs is from As to So pounds,
dependable upon freshness and size.

Finally, she ran into the house, un-
fastened the horn from the phono-
graph and used it as a megaphone.
The wind was so strong, however,
that her voice failed to reach the
men.
1t was sometime before the life
saving boat hove into sight. When the
crew did come, they could not make
directly for the distressed boat, but
were forced to describe a circular
path of several miles before they
could reach them.
The six men aboard the launch
were members of a vacation party.
They left early in the morning in
rough sea, and when about three
miles off Highland avenue the waves
became so high as to reach over into
the boat. The water crippled the en-
gine, and the men were at the mercy
of the sea. About all they could do
was to cast anchor and bail the water
out as it was rushing in, and try to
signal some one on shore.
Captain Hansen and his crew Of
life-savers finally reached the boat
and rescued the imperilled men. Or
dinarily the life-saving crew is first

this particular occasion the crew was
out on another call and had It not

MEW YORK. - Produce dealers
IN throughout the country are watch
Ing with interest the enforcement Of
the ordinance recently passed in New
York requiring dealers to sell eggs By
the pound. When eggs are sold by the
pound the buyer Is more likely to get

weighs more than one that is stale,

It is only the idealist or the optlmist
who believes that eggs are either good
or bad, with no halfway about the
matter. Really this is fond delusion.
There are as many grades of eggs as
there are ways of making an omelet.

The Gull IS a doubtful egg from the
start, but sometimes deposits, and
emerges months later. Even then It
Is not as low as an egg can sink, for
there is the desiocated egg, which was
laid in China, and has been a world
traveller before getting to the ultimate
consumer here.
These desiccated eggs are removed
from their shells in China, put into
cans with preservatives, and then
shipped across the Pacific and the con-
dnent to this city. where they are sold
In bulk for use in bread and pastry
making in the cheaper bakeries. Some
doubt has been raised as to the nutri-
tive value and legality Of those fresh
China eggs as a food product But
they have one. great advantage, from
the consumers point of View-no way
has been discovered yet Of putting
them into shells and selling them as
fresh laid eggs from a Long Island
farm.
New Workers are not apt to get any
thing more foreign in the way of eggs
in their shells than the product of the
lenneries Of Germany and Austria.
