waste of snow and ice, had for all that
period no communication with the

The south. the kitchen was in a sep
srate building at some distance from

When the sage of Roanoke took
his seat at the breakfast table there
was a line of servants from the dining
room to the kitchen. Mrs. Randolph,
the mother of the statesman, held an
open watch in her hand
''Inr' exclaimed Mr.. Randolph, and
the word I'm 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
signified that the cooking was done.
"Outr' went forth the command in
like manner, and the eggs were quick
ly removed.
The system required six or seven
servants to cook one egg, but Randolph
was accustomed to declare that this
was the only way that he could get it
