ULik. Master, Like Man.

In 1914 Baron Stieglitz In st. Peters
burg went to great expense to have the
news Of the treaty Of peace conveyed
to him by a private courier q few hours
before 1t came to the knowledge Of the
government. He therefore gained a
few hundred thousand rubles. But his
porter. to whom he communicated the
news, tried his hand at a little specu-
lation Of his own. In an hour or tive
he bought up all the lamps he could
find in st. Petersburg, 60 that In the
evening. when the whole city waa
making ready for the illumination. not
q single lamp was to be found In any
Of the shops. The crafty porter nov
sold out his stock at a price which left
him a nice little profit of $4,000 rubles

Kedv's Motor.

The Keely motor was a machine I'M
vented by John ". Keely Of .Philadea-
phia, which he claimed was. capable df
generating its own power without cost.
It was described by himself In the
high sounding term az q pneumat1c-
pulsating-vacua engine. So successful
was Keely In manipulating the ma
chine and c%oncealing the real agent by
which 1t was operated that many capi-
talists were induced to put thousands
of dollars In it. Scientific men always
regarded it With extreme suspicion.
aud after the death Of Keely in 1899 It
was found to have been operated by
compressed air supplied from a con-
sealed tank.

Cooking Eggs.

SOVNsuS @8Sos
Eggs should never be cooked" says
a culinary expert. THAT sounds odd.
but it is true. They should simply be
CONCEALED with slow heat Every
where l hear complaints about. soufles
and omelets. They fall or they never
rise. But all that trouble could be
avoided If the cooks only understood
the relation Of heat to eggs. The tenn
perature should always be below the
boiling point when eggs come in con-
tact with the water. Then the heat
will gradually penerate the egg. The
result will be a creamy mass instead
of a hard and tough lump. That is the
main principle in regard to eggs. and
II that Is followed cooks will not be
bewailing about their fat omelets."
