TELL A MANS NATIONALITY
BY the Way an Egg Is Eaten Cne May
Discover Country From Which
Consumer Comes From.

Sherlock Holmes might have figured
Ibis out, but he did not.
The average Englishman will al
ways demand his egg boiled just three
minutes, then he places it in an egg
cup just large enough to comfortably
have the egg fit In, taps the top 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 glass, stirs and mikes
well together with salt, pepper and
butter. He makes a practice of dip
ping bread into the mixture and eating
1t along with the eggs.
A Spaniard wouldn't think of letting
his eggs boil more than one minute.
He then breaks 1t and lets the contents
run into the glass, and consumes it as
though he were draughting down a
glass of wine.
An egg is only fit in an Italians es-
timation when 1t has been placed in
cold water and removed just as the
water begins 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 scoups the liquid
out as though it were soup
The American is about the only one
that 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
a plentiful supply of pepper, butter and
salt He then minces the eggs fine,
mixing them well with the spices, and
eats them with his toast.

ECZEMA ON ENTIRE SCALP

R. F. d. No. 2, Sunfeld, Mich.-T
was troubled with eczema. 1t began
with a sore on the top of the scalp,
broke out as pimple and grew larger
until it was a large red spot with a
crust or scab over it. This became
larger finally covering the entire scalp
and spread to different parts of the
body. the limbs and back and in the
ears. These sores grew larger grad
ually until some were as large as a
quarter of dollar. They would itch
and if scratched they would bleed and
smart. The clothing would irritate
them at night when it was being re-
moved causing them to itch and smart
so | could not sleep. A watery fluid
would run from them. My scalp be-
came covered with a scale and when
the hair was raised UP it would raise
this scale; the hair was coming out
terribly.

LARGE HEAD OF THINKERS
They Keep Right on Growing as Long
as Brains Are Active-opinion of
Expert Given.

After Pa humans beings are not sup
posed to grow except to put on
weight, increase their waist measure
or grow stout all over. but the claim
has been made by j. Millot Severn,
an English phrenologist, that there
are many instances where the human
head continues to grow and that
mems heads have been known to in
crease in size after they were 40 years
old. Mr.. Severn's claim is of much
interest, regardless of the matter of
phrenology, but they are actually now
claims, for DR.. j. b. Mege, of Paris,
says the brain does not become fully
developed until a man is from forty
five to fifty years of age.
Mr.. Severn says he has measured
the heads of many prominent people
from time to time and he has discov-
cred by means Of these measurements
that the head continues to grow at
a considerably greater age than is
generally believed BY taking careful
cranial measurements at various times
of the same heads he is able to give
figures.
He has, he says taken measure
ments and examined measurements Of
more than hundred thousand heads
during the last Is years. and he has
come to the conclusion that just so
long as the human brain is active
and kept vigorously at work, it
develops and the head increases. in
very many instances, in size.
