BLOOD WILL TELL.

0kSOO D." ILL \ @f6A3s
To look at Winston Churchill,
one of the big men in the present
Liberal cabinet of England, you
would think the first lord of the
admiralty a typical sprig of the
English aristocracy. He is big
and red-faced and when he speaks
lat least on the American lee
ture platform-pronounces his
words like the typical cockney.
Today is to-die and away is a-wie.
But it so happens that Church
ills mother was an American
woman and that American blood
tells in unexpected ways. Every
once in a while Churchill makes
all England sit up and take notice
of his American quality of hustle.
The other day the House of
Commons was to take a vote on
the second reading of the Irish
nome rule bill. Churchill, as boss

of the navy, was at Weymouth to
show the king how the big ships
can shoot. AS a consequence in
all the London clubs the betting
was that the bill would not pass
by more than 100 votes.
But they reckoned without
their Churchill. That young man
left Weymouth by train at 8 on a
Thursday evening, reaching Lon
don-150 miles away-at 10
O'Clock. He cast his vote for the
bill, motored 100 miles back to
Bournemouth, reaching there ats
O'Clock Friday morning, was
rowed out to the Swift, one OF the
speediest torpedo destroyers in
the world, and steamed to Wey-
mouth. where he rejoined the
king at 1870.
All of which looks very big to
the Britisher, but very ordinary
to us Americans, who are so used
to hustle that we would rust if we
didn't keep up the pace.

BOILING AN EGG.
If I. Gives You Trouble You Might
Try John Randolph's Way.

The boiling of an egg seems simple
matter, but many a breakfast has been
spoiled and many a temper rasped by
the cooks failing to observe the pre-,
else number of minutes the process
should occupy
That very original man, John Ran
dolph, is said to have invented a meth
cd Of getting his eggs cooked exactly
to his taste that worked perfectly. As
is the case in many country homes in
the south. the kitchen was in a sep
arate building at some distance from
the house, and servants were plenty.
When the sage of Roanoke" took
his seat at the breakfast table there
was a line of servants from the dinin:
room to the kitchen. Mrs. Randolph.
the mother Of the statesman. held an
open watch in her hand.
'Iny exclaimed Mr.. Randolph, and
the word Gin" was passed from mouth
to mouth until it reached the waiting
cook, who dropped the eggs into the
water. After the requisite number of
seconds the holder of the timepiece
signifed that the cooking was done.
"Outr' went forth the command i'll
like manner, and the eggs were quick
ly removed.
The system required six or seven
servants to cook one egg, but Randoll "a
was accustomed TO declare that this
was the only way that he could get il
cooked to suit him.-Youth's Compan
