OWED TO IMMORTAL BARD
Phrases That Have Forever Enriched

How much we owe to Shakespeare

on list Of these phrases collected by
Mr. Frank J. Wilstach, in the interest
of Mr.. Sothern and Miss Marlowe in

NO NEED TO "HOLD PHONE"
Sound Magnifying Trumpet Which
Will Tell You When 1t Is Time
to Talk.

There is sound magnifying trum'
pet of fiat shape, behind which is
small attachment intended to support
the telephone receiver. When it be-
comes necessary to hold the line,
when calling up or replying, instead OF
the person standing with the receiver
glued to his ear he places the receiver
upon the time saver, bringing the ear
piece into position with the sound
magnifier. He is then at liberty to
resume his duties until such time as
the person required at the opposite
end attends his instrument.
This is notified by the speech trans
mitter being magnified by the time
saving device SO as to be perfectly
audible at a distance The receiver
may then either be withdrawn and
held to the ear in the usual way, or
left in connection with the magnifier,
hearing being quite as simple and
easy as under normal conditions. An
other advantage of the invention is
that the users two hands are left free
to carry out any other requisite task,
such as the turning up of documents,
making references, writing down mes
sages or instructions from dictation,
and so on.

LIFE MUCH LESS THAN ART
Frenchman's Devotion to Things Beau
tifui Something for PhiIistines
to Wonder at.

To spend "a years on one work of
art, to have abandoned opportunity to
become famous sculptor, and to die
in poverty at seventy. was the destiny
of NJ. Fraissard, who recently passed
away at Ivry, suburb of Paris. He
would never part with any of his
works, no matter what price was of
fered, SO they remained by him, the
wonder of beholders.
Fifty years of overwork brought on
a paralytic seizure, and for two years
before the end he lay helpless in lodg-
ings filled with works from his deft
painstaking hand
When a boy he was a stone cutter
Tut he discovered his bent and fol
lowed it, and for so years Fraissard
executed beautiful things, chiefly in
mosaics. Every piece was master
piece.
One is black marble table with a
chessboard in onyx, and some cups
glasses and bottles So delicate is the
workmanship that the saucers are
transparent. Eight years were occu
pied in the fashioning of this piece OF
work.
NJ Fraisard's masterpiece took him
nearly three times as long. 1t is a
black marble table. In the middle is
chessboard, on either side of which
are playing cards arranged as fans
On the table are dominoes and dice,
cigars and cigarettes and several coins
in gold and silver.

BOILED EGGS BETRAY THEM
Nationality of Diners Is Shown In
Their Various Methods of
Eating.

Sherlock Holmes might have figured
this out, but he did not!
The average Englisbman 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
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 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
his egg boil more than one minute
He then breaks it, and lets the con-
tents run into a glass, and consumes
1t as il he were drinking glass OF
wine.
An egg Is only fit In an Italians
estimation when it has been placed
in cold water, and removed just as
the water begins to boil. He then
breaks 1t, pours it 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.

REGULATION Weight.

There is only one way to regulate
body weight. and that is by the nat
ural method-by diet, exercise, bath
ing. etc.-by alimentation and elimina-
ton. 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 OH
a fat one. In other words, natural
diet produces a natural condltion OF
the body.
