BOILED EGGS BETRAY THEM
Nationality of Diners lie Shown In
Their Various Methods 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 it in an
egg cup, just large enough to have
the egg fit 1t, taps the top OF the
shell, and removes the broken shell
with his fingers. The egg is eaten a
spoonful at a 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 well together with salt, pepper
and butter. He makes a 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 a glass OF
wine.
An egg is only ut In an Italians
estimation when it has been placed
in cold water, and removed just as
the water begins to boil. He then
breaks it, pours 1t on a plate. and
proceeds to sop it 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 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 a plentiful supply of pepper, but
ter and salt. He then minces the
eggs fine, mixing them we'll with the
spices, and eats them with his toast.

When George Washington, Robert

Get the glowing punk and the cracker out,
Let the loud torpedo busily boom,
Flutter the banner and bravely shout.
Give to the screechlng old eagle room.
Tell the wondering, listening world once more
OF the glory we claim and our strength
and pride:
Let the shout DO echoed from shore to shore
And waited Ger prairie and mountain side;
Let the folds Of our glorious flag be tossed
High DER the heads Of unshackled men
But don't forget that the hand that is lost

Let the Declaration be proudly read:
Tear a hole through the roof with the rusty
gun,
Cause the dogs to hide or to flee in dread.
Let the cars and the kings Of the world be
told ,
OF the pride and the strength Of a free
born race.
Let the welkin ring as It rang Of old,
Make the land we claim an uproarious placel
Shoot and shout all the glorious day,
Whoop Of the greatness Of freedom mem
But remember the nose that is shot away
Will never grow on your face again.

Broken Heart Caused Death.

A broken heart, caused by violent

said by a doctor to be, responsible for
the death Of Alexander Burmese, six

an alteration with a foreman cutter

6iSaI uedl VI pdTdQlnS, considerable
oratory, the reading of the Declaration
OF independence, closing with numer-
GUS dinners and the drinking of as
many toasts as there were states in
the Union.
Fire crackers, cap pistols and other
eaF-splitting devices which have caused
so many of the injuries following in
the wake of the national holiday, were
unknown a century ago. There was
sufficient incentive then to make the
biggest kind of a racket. The country
was engaged in a second war with
England, and the younger generation,
with the example of the Revolutionary
veterans before them, might have
been excused had they given vent to
noisy demonstrations.
According to the newspapers of the
time, however, the celebration of July
4, 1872, was conducted in a very or
derby way. The phrase safe and sane"
was not used in describing the events
Of the day. Their substitutes a cen
fury ago were "genteel" or q respect
able" One Of the early celebrations
at Princeton was thus described:
The flag belonging to the town was
displayed opposite the front of the
college. At II o'clock a genteel com.
pany of ladies and gentlemen assem-
bled in the college hall, where they
we're agreeably entertained by two ex.
cellent orations suitable to the occa.
sion.
How safe the Fourth was in New
York 100 years ago may be judged
from n of the newspaper accounts,
which says:

accident happened, and that the great.
