SOMETHING new IN EGGS
Penguin Fruit May Soon Figure on
American Hotel and Res
taurant Menus.

Penguin eggs from South Africa
may soon figure on American hotel
and restaurant menus. Immense mum.
bers of them are being gathered on
several of the islands OF the southern
extremity Of Africa, and one dealer
down there has offered to introduce
them to the United States If some one
will pay for the transportation Of a
sample case. The eggs easily could
stand the journey, as the fast steam.
ers make the run from Cape Town to
Southampton in 10 days, thus bringing
the penguin nest and the American
epicure within little more than three
weeks of each other.
Ostrich eggs also are being used
as food in South Africa, though natur.
ally to limited extent, as even there
they do not grow on every bush. m
California and Arizona, where the
ostrich has. been acclimatized, these
huge eggs are not less esteemed for
the table, but to eat them generally
is regarded as wGnton waste of pos
sibilities in the way Of feathers.
California is less scrupulous about
eating the eggs of gulls and INJURIES,
which have been gathered in such I'm.
told thousands on the Farallone is.
lands that steps have had to be taken
to prevent the determination of these
two sea birds. In Texas not only
gulls and terms but herons have been
robbed Of their eggs with similar de.
plorable results.

TRAGEDY or TOMATO VINE
Practical Person Makes Discovery
After Neiehbors Had Given Voice
to Their Wonderment.

Now doth the amateur agriculturist
flourish and wax proud at his Luther
burbank achievements, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. One such nursed q
lone tomato plant from delicate and
sickly infancy to robust maturity.
With all a mothers tender care he
ministered to that plant. He watered
it, brushed the dust off 1t. pleaded with
It, encouraging it to better things.
Then one day member of the family
rushed into the house with glad It'd.
ings. There was real tomato on the
vine.
What an assemblage there was
about that plant! The block was de.
populated temporarily. Amateur ag.
riculturists climbed on each others
necks to view the wonder. The head
Of the house inspected 1t through a
magnifying glass. His spouse clapped
her hands and exclaimed: "At last
we shall have our own salad from our
own vine." Even the Waterman from
row of empty houses nearby was
called to look. and he remarked sol.
EMMY that he never saw such large
tomato on such small vine."
Then came along one of those hor.
ribly practical persons, who said It
couldn't be. and had to have a closer
look. He spoiled 1t all by his discov.
cry that the tomato had been tied on
with a string, and If you want to know
who tied 1t on ask the woman who
lives next door.

THE BOY AND THE BICYCLE
Fat Man Moved to Remorse After

Bike and Boy.

A fat man was complacently pursu.

He carried an open umbrella and &C.

Suddenly around the corner came a
small boy on a bicycle. He turned so
quickly that the fat man had no time
to get out Of the way. Nor had the
boy any chance to sheer away from
his bulky obstacle.
The front wheel struck the fat man
a glancing blow, shaking his dignity
and scraping his leg.
AS for the boy, he and the bicycle
went down with crash. But the lad

Telegraph. Whether the cat commit.

the incident does serve a purpose In
calling attention to q pathetic side 81
the vacation season. In thousands Of
homes all over the country there are
household pets. such as dogs and cats
and birds. and as many Of these homes
are closed during the summer. or at
least for several weeks. the pets are
in most instances left to shift for
themselves. For the sake Of the songs
there are neighbors who will take
charge of the canaries during the alb
sence Of their owners, but for the dogs
and the cats there are, as a rule, only
harsh words and buffetings from the
neighbors. and sticks and stones
from the urchins of the community.
and the poor creatures, homeless.
friendless. and abused. are indeed OBJ
jects of pity. 1t would be much more
humane for the owners of these pets
to put them to death before going
away on their vacation trips, instead
of leaving them to their fate, but the
practice of deserving them goes on
year after year.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Charlottesville. Va, Sept. 3n.-Virginia
registered the greatest score in all its
football history in the game against VIII
liam and Mary, on Lambeth Field to-day,
totaling eighty-one points, while its op-
ponents failed to make a single first down.
1t was evident from the outset that the
opponents were clearly outclassed in
every department, for during the first hall
the grand total of territory accredited
them was hardly more than two or at
the most three yards. In the second
half Coach Yancey yanked out every
regular with the exception of Capt. Bow
en-. and during the course of the sixteen
minutes of play. gave practically every
man on the squad an opportunity to show
his ability. Seventy points were regis
tered by the varsity during the first
half The scrubs added eleven more, and
but for slight infractions of the rules
would have scored twice more. On two
distinct occasions the Virginia backs car
rled the ball over the line, only to be
called back for offside play or holding.
The work OF GoOch, at quarter, and Car
ter. in tackle. was sensational. Near the
end of the first term, young Gooch re-
ceived the ball on the klckoh and ran
through the entire William and Mary
team for a touchdown.
