ARREsTING FLIGHT OF TIME
German Scientists Advise the Eating
of Egg Shells by Those Who
Approach Old Age.

Two Germans, deep thinkers-Pro-
lessons Emmerich and Loewe-state
that egg shells eaten increase the
power of resistance against "the with
ering blight of time" add weight to
the body, activity to the brain and
strength to the heart; that they de-
stroy injurious bacilli, prevent infam-
nation and disease and lend courage
and energy. This reminds me, Philip
Hale writes in theLBoston Herald, Of
the preparation advertised in London
thirty or more years ago as removing
Superhuous hair, being an excellent
substitute for table butter none genu-
Inc unless stamped on the blade.
Eustace Miles, the English court ten
mis- player and vegetarian, says he had
an old nurse who used to eat egg
shells and crunch them joyfully be-
between the teeth that happened TO
meet, and she said she ate the shells
because they Shaved the hair off in
side of the throat" The discovery
Of the German scientist Is peculiarly
welcome to jewellers by the ocean,
for 1t is well-known fact that If you
do not break egg shells the witches
will put out to sea in them to wreck
vessels, and If you burn the shells
the hens will cease to lay. Further
more, as eggs are now absurdly high
even case eggs-in the neighbour
hood it seems pity to waste any
part of them.

can figure out their meaning. Then,
when you have looked them up, spring
them on the next fellow He will eth.
er brand you as a, highbrow or else
admire you as the inventor Of new
language, though you are neither.
Here are the words:
Opuscule, Homecoming, noddy, node,
futtock, galimatias, fade, duvet, dig
getail, dwale, periotic, predicant,
younker, quintal propense, quib, beck.

rundlet, rupertrine, caddis, fissle, cal
car, finder, hopple, horary, thorp, usi-
tative, wool, arcolith, gaum.

stew and a So gold piece. With the
money he bought lottery ticket, and
won prize. While he still had the
money a man who owned a saloon,
and who was looking for sucker,
sold out to him. But Jim has flourish
ed. He got hold of seal belonging
to an American life insurance COM
pany, and he stamps his letters with
that, and calls himself the Irish con-
sui. When l was in to see Jim this
time l found that everything passed
as currency over his bar. He has a
drawerful of such things as false
teeth and glass eyes, and one morn

liquor and then calmly take out his
eye and put it on the counter

This chap has got hold of all sorts

him, by the way, he was colonel in
the Nicaraguan army. One of his
most successful ventures was to start
watch club, in which you pay one
dollar for initiation, and then run the
chances of getting watch. Well, the
American showed a high municipal
official in Buenos Aires that in a
watch club there is a pretty big per.
centage for whoever is running it,
with the result that 10000 policemen
and other government employees were
ordered to become members
