BOILED EGGS BETRAY THEM
Nationality Of Diners ls Shown in
Their Various Method of
Eating.

Sherlock Holmes might have figured
this out, but he did nott
The average Englishman will al
ways demand his egg boiled just
three minutes, then he places 1t in an
egg cup, just large enough to have
the egg fit it, taps the .op of the
shell, and removes the broken shell
with his fingers. The egg is eaten a
spoonful at time.
A Frenchman, much like the Eng
lishman, likes his eggs of three min
utes, exactly. He then ''peels' them,
places them in a glass, stirs and
mixes we'll together with salt, pepper
and butter. He makes a practice OF
dipping bread into the mixture, and
eating it along with the eggs.
A Spaniard wouldn't think of letting
Shis egg boil more than one minute.
He then breaks it, and let's the con-
tents run into a glass, and consumes
1t as if he were drinking a glass of
wine.
An egg is only fit in an Italian s
estimation when it has been placed
In cold water. and removed just as
the water beings to boil. He then
breaks it, pours it on plate, and
proceeds to sop it up with bread
The German, like the Italian, de
mands his eggs as near the liquid
state as possible. He breaks his eggs
in an unsightly cup, and scoops the
liquid out as il it were soup.
The American is about the only one
who prefers his eggs boiled hard
When they are served up to him, he
knifes them In half, removes the con
tents into a glass, after which he
adds plentiful supply of pepper, but
ter and salt. He then minces the
eggs fine, mixing them well with the
spices, and eats them with his toast

FINDS HORNET IS GENTLE"
English Mayor Tells of Discovering
Cottage Where They Are Kept
in Hives Like Bees.

London.-Wasps occasionally have
been heard of as pets, but it has been
reserved for Major Hurlstone Hardy
to discover that the hornet is "a gen.
tie, inoffensiwe creature very suitable
for a pet" Writing in knowledge, he
states that, when walking down CHS
wick lane many years ago, he discov-
cred hornets busy around four straw
hives in the front garden of a cot
tage.
Il entered" he says, 'tand asked the
proprietor to let me observe them. I
found that he kept the hornets for
pets and that he had no bees. He
lifted up hive anu let me observe the
queen at work. He said that he felt
no danger whatever"
Major Hardy adds that he personal
ly has mo fear whatever of these in
nocent and useful creatures, who seem
quite willing 20 share our dwellings
with us IL encouraged to do so."
1t may be- recalled that Mr. Bates in
his account Of his experience on the
Amazon states that at first he killed
hornets which flew near his face. But
having observed them closely and not
ed that they killed stinging flies.
bouncing upon them as the flies at
tempted to bit him. he let them alone,
and was rather glad of their company
1t is suggested that the time may
come when every well-regulated
household will keep its hornet to deal
with flies, as it now keeps its big
dog to guard against burglars.

Silverman cafe at 141 West Twenty
seventh street that is in any condi-

too sore to smile
Some time after midnight the bark
ing Of Spot awakened the Silverman
family in their rooms above the sa-
loon. Silverman thereupon arose, got
q trunk strap and walloped poor old
Spot into silence and went back to

When Silverman went behind the
bar about $3.50 he found that burglars
who doubtless had started Spots un-
precedented barking had ripped open
the cash register and taken $50 and a
ring from it,. and then had attacked
the safe and got away with one dia-
mond ring worth $125, two more worth
500 each, s75-dollar watch, la

Regulating WEIGHT.

There is only one way to regulate
body weight and that is by the
natural method-by diet, exercise,
bathing, etc.--by Authorization and
elimination. The nostrums advertised
to take off flesh without change OF
diet are all dangerous. Be sure of
that, and avoid them. The same diet
that will put flesh on a thin man will
take flesh off a fat one. In other
words, natural diet produces a
natural condition of the body.

u press ahead to gain success.

You press ahead to gain success.
And far away you see goal;
But are you touched by tenderness,
And have you gladness in your soul?
You plunge ahead day after day,
You have no time to jest or pause;
But do you leave along the way
Ill will for you or for your cause?
Long, long ago you made your start,
And you have travelled far and fast;
But have you Kindness in your heart
And their respect whom you have
passed?
You view your goal afar; you press
Unscarred ahead where others fall;
But are you sure twill be success
When you have gained it, after all?

board on the table and cut piece of
heavy muslin so it will fit the board
loosely. Seam it up, leaving the slip
