GATHERING GUILLEMOT EGGS

The best known breeding stations
Of the guillemot, or aux, are the lofty
White Chalk cliffs Of the Yorkshire
coast in England, which rise to a
height from the sea of from $50 feet
to 44O feet The cliffs are acknowl-
lated breeding resort for sea fowl in
England, Here are found hordes Of
guillemot, pufins and gulls. Anyone
desirous Of descending the cliffs must
have good nerve, for the cliffs are
very craggy and at their base are
huge rocks which are covered with
deep water when the tide Is up. The
eggs to be gathered are found depos-
tied, some in nests and others merely
in narrow lodges, from 200 to 25O feet
from the top of the cliff, 1t makes
the visitor giddy to look over the
edge and see the clothes Of the climb
er hecked with foam.
The men, in sets Of four or FIVE,
may be seen at work on any fine after
moon in the season. Each climber has
MS own special mate above, just as
the sea diver has, to look after the
main rope and signaling line upon
which his life depends The man on
the top of the cliff, wearing round his
waist leathern girdle takes up his
position close to the cliffs edge where
are two-foot holes in the soil A
three-foot iron stake having an iron
pulley Is firmly fixed in the ground op-
posite where he sits, and alongside IS
another iron stake for the hand line
which is used for signaling purposes
when the adventurer Is far out OF
sight.
II you watch the proceedings you
will see the climber put on what he
calls his breeches, a belt Of fiat rope
with a small loop at each end, to
which the cord by which he is sus'
pended is attached. It has two large
loops through which he puts his legs
He wears on his left hand leathern
pad for protection, with steel protec
tors at the ends of his boots for the
purpose of pushing himself free OF
the cliff. Skunk like game bags, he
carries a couple of haversacks to hold
the eggs.
When all is in readiness, he is low
cred out of sight, some exertion or
his part being required to keep cleai
of the cold cliff wall. The climber
is no mere scrambler from ledge to
ledge. 1t thrills the onlooker to see
him kick out 30 feet In order to gain
impetus sufficient to reach a ledge faI
back. and no little skill is required tc
keep uD q pendulum movement while
gathering the eggs one at time, with

Mary was a fine young specimen OF
housemaid just over from the Emer-

spect and silent fear of all modern
conveniences and household inven-
tions.

"Well, Mary, is the parlor swept

BosWelPs House In London, England
ographer of DR.. Johnson, once LIVED
there Indeed, it is as Boswell's house
that most people recognize this beau
tiful building.
The construction of Great Queer
street was begun in 1905, and there
were Is houses erected on the soutf
side before 1928 Then came InigC
Jones, or his pupil Webbe, to finisf
this side, which was originally intend
ed to form one of the sides OF 8
square. Nos. So and So are all that re
main of this typical work of the Inigc
Jones period They were built be
tween 1915 and 1860,
The street in its day was considered
very grand. 1t must have been very
beautiful, too, to judge by these frag
ments which remain, and which are
now. 1t would seem, threatened witt
destruction.
In addition to the Boswell and the
lingo Jones connections there are 9th
er reasons which make it desirable
that this house should, if possible, be
saved to London. Hudson, the master
of Sir Joshua Reynolds, is said tc
have lived here, and If so, Reynolds
must have served there from 1740 tC
1745.
The names Of Richard Brinsley
Sheridan, James Hoole, Kitty Give and
many other famous people are alsc
linked with the house, although there
must be a good deal of guesswork con
nected with some of these.

MARRIAGE SUPERSTITI0NS

A curious idea among the Burmese
is that people born on the same day
of the week must not marry, and that
If they defy the fates their union will
be marked by much ill.luck To pre-
vent these disastrous marriages, every
girl carries a record Of her birthday
in her name, each day OF the week
having a letter belonging to 1t, and all
children are called by a name which
begins with that letter. 1t is rather
hard if the Marys and Marks Of Burma
fall in love with each other. Unlike
other Oriental lands, the young peo-
pie are allowed to marry as taste die
tates, subject only to the birthday re-

TONGUE TESTS DIAMOND

1t is easy to test a genuine diamond
from an imitation, if the advice given
by an English expert be true. He
says that If you touch the jewel with
the tip Of your tongue you can Judge
by its heat whether it is genuine or
not A real diamond feels cold, a
false one warm to the touch. The
same is said to be true Of ivory and
celIuloid, the ivory being colder than
it's imitation.

THE HAPPINESS OF THE HOME
RESTS UPON THE WIFE

Mrs. Everard Coates (Sarah jean
cite Duncan) maintains that the hap
piness OF the home depends largely
more upon the wife than upon the
husband. She says:
The responsibility Ter happy mar
ried life rests upon .tle wife more
than upon the husbe1d The first
step toward procuring an ideal hus-
band is to have an ideal wife. In nine
cases out of ten the success of fail
IRE of marriage depends upon the wo-
man.
The first STEP toward making her
husband fond of his home is to be
fond Of it herself. If she keeps oft
of it as much as possible. hurrying
from bridge to dance, she needn't
be surprised if her husband shows NO
special affection for the domestic

bring about the desired result she her
