BIRDS PECULIAR ABOUT EGGS
Can Tell at Glance If Meddled With
and Will Almost Invariably De-
sert Their Nests.

II you have lived in the country and
know something about chickens you
will not need to be told that hen
turns over the eggs in her nest every
day while they are Matching. Until
this secret was discovered the tncu-
bator was not a success.
By what instinct hen, or any 9th
er bird, can tell whether an egg has
been turned over or not it is impos-
sible to say; but it Is well estab-
lished that If a bird finds its nest has
been disturbed, especially il one or
more of the eggs have been turned
over, that bird will most likely desert
the nest at once and never return to
it. It seems to know that something
is wrong and that its plans for hatch
ing out those eggs, taught it by ma
ture, have been interfered with, and
it is useless to bother about the eggs
any more.
Whether or not It is the sense OF
sight or Of smell that enables the
bird to recognize the fact that the
nest has been disturbed is not known.
But every time a boy NEEDLES with
the eggs in nest no matter how care
fully he touches them, he should re
member that he will probably be the
cause of the mother leaving the hall
Matched little ones to perish.

GOOD TRICK WITH SCISSORS
Something That Has Puzzled Many
People and Requires Practice to
be Done Quickly.

This is something that has puzzled
many people. The trick is to place
your little fingers through the handles
of a pair of scissors, palms up, and
then twirl the scissors round toward
you and bring them up in front in
such a way that the points will be up
ward, as shown in Fig. 8. If you don't
know the secret they will come up
with the points downward instead.
The trick is in the way you manage
the scissors just as you flop them
over; If you leave your fingers in the
handles the scissors will come up with
the points down. In order to make
them come points up you have to take
your fingers out of the handles mo-
mentarily and let the scissors turn a
little between the palms Of your
hands and then put your fingers back
through the other way. The principle

Accompanied by a policeman, the

that the lady was bent on suicide, but
those inside the house dragged her
