BOILED EGGS BETRAY THEM
Nationality Of Diners 10 Shown In
Their Various Method Of
Eating.

Sherlock Holmes might have figured
this out, but he did not!
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 At it, taps the .op Of the
shell. and removes the broken shell
with his fingers. The egg is eaten
spoonful at a time. n.
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
mixes well together with salt. pepper
and butter. He makes practice OF
dipping bread into the mixture. and
eating 1t along with the eggs.
A Spaniard wouldn't think Of letting
his egg boil more than one minute.
He then breaks 1t, and lets the con-
tents run into a glass. and consumes
1t as II he were drinking glass of
wine.
An egg is only fit In an Italians
estimation when 1t has been placed
in cold water. and removed Just as
the water beings to boil. He then
breaks 1t. pours 1t on a 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 If 1t 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 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.

An English lieutenant at Oswego

man had told him plainly what 1t was.

lish governor In the colonies who had
his eyes oren taat the French would
not stop with planting a fort upon an
obscure branch of the Allegheny. but
that they would indeed press forward
t. take possession OF the Ohio. drive
every English trader forth. draw all
the native tribes to their interest by
force or favor. and close alike the
western lands and the western trade
in very earnest against all the kings
subjects.
Governors See the Danger.
Governor Dinwiddie was among the
first to see the danger and the need
for action, as. In truth. was very nat
ural. In ONCE and out. his study had

been merchant and Official now long
time. He was one of the twenty
stockholders Of the Ohio company.
and had come to his governorship in
Virginia with his eye upon the west
ern country He had but to look
about him to perceive that Virginia
would very likely be obliged to meet
the crisis unaided. II. indeed. he could
induce even her to meet 1t.
Governor Hamilton. OF Pennsylva-
mia, also saw how critically affairs
stood. it is true. and what ought to be
done. Hi: agents had met and acted
with the agents of the Ohio company
already in seeking Indian alliances
and fixing upon points Of vantage be-
yond the Alleghanies. But the Penn
syivania assembly could by no argu-
ment or device be induced to vote
money or measures In the business.
The placid Quaker traders were as
stubborn a. the stolid German farm
ers. They opposed II because they
could not for the life OF them see the
necessity OF parting with their money
to send troops upon 80 remote an
errand.
pinwiddie Does Not Hesitate.
Dinwiddle did not walt or parley.
He acted nrst and consulted his legis-
lature afterwards. It was In his
Scots blood to take the business very
strenuously, and in his traders blood
70 take 1t very anxiously. He had
kept himself advised from the first
of the movements of the French.
Their vanguard had scarcely reached
Presque Isle ere he dispatched let
ters to England apprisins the govern
ment of the danger. Answer had
come very promptly. too. authorizing
him to build forts upon the Ohio. II
he could get the money from the Bur
gesses; and meantime. should the

they would not desist for warning.

II think l can do no less than apollo
gize, in some measure, for the number
less imperfections in it." But It was
a very manly recital Of noteworthy
things, and touched the Imagination
and fears of every thoughtful! man
who read 1t quite as near the quick as
the urgent and repeated letters Of the
troubled Dinwiddie.
Virginia, 1t turned out, was after
all more forward than all her neigh
bors when 1t came to action. The
Pennsylvania assembly very coolly
declared they doubted his ma
jesty's claim to the lands on the
Ohio. and the assembly in New York
followed suit. at appears" they said.

to act than Dinwiddie. For the vir-

not yield the point OF the fee upon

Major Washington In the lurch, and
before an expedition could be got

A body Of woodsmen had been
hurried forward In February, ere
spring had opened, to make a clearing
and set to work upon fort at the
forks Of the Ohio; but 1t was the Cd
OF April before men enough could be
collected at Alexandria to begin the
main movement towards the frontier,
