TEW YORK, July 28--Francois
M ViIlon may rest in pieces some
- y where between the dodo and
the mid Victorian collection OF anti
quities, but at any rate Wen answer
the question he asked some four
or five centuries back.
Francois, it may be remarked IN
passing. was a wise poet When 1t
came TO telling US q great deal we
don't know about the evils Of love
he was there 20 different ways. But
still he was. as we said before, one
wise owl.

would have laid down his bets on
everything that looked like a
winner. We gather thus much
from the fact that he Hayss

one girl is sufficient; yea sadly we
say that one is more than sufficient,
and yet ten are insufficient So there
At any rate, love is out Of place In
any sport column, so -+eu simply say
that what Francois asked ST answered
fully by a slant at the big league
rosters
In other words plain enough for a
college professor. the SHOWS are still
with US. They left. 70 be true, but
they are back again All the way
from Hans Wagner down, they are
lust where they were in the yester-
years. OF course, some folks would
refuse to believe any ball tosser could
properly be termed q snow, but We
know different Don't they fall Just as
hard? They do.
But even If the smile is confusing
denotinE our condition OF thought at
the moment Of battering away on the
Underwood. the fact stands out quite
clearly that seldom IN the history OF
baseball have so many old timers been
recalled. kept on the payroll and
everything OF the sort
Every bird who hasn't been handed
the raspberry by every one OF the six
teen major league clubs is out play
ing ball And the reason is that the
rules require nine men on the field In
uniform for each side, not counting
the umpires.
The crop of minor IeaEuerE has
been less productive than ever, a.
might naturally be expected. in
fact, n the present decrease keeps
up, there will be no minor league
but the National circuit
II isn't so much that cast offs have

The Interpretation.
The RoscommOn, Ireland. Herald,
which publishes the foregoing trans
lation. proceeds to interpret it as
follows:
The prediction of Rumania'S in
PREVENTION for August 2S. 1916 has
come true. as this date corresponds
to Germany'S declaration of war
against Rumania and the period
during which the war has been in
progress. namely. two years and one
month, is also substantially &C.
curate. since the outbreak of the
war in the beginning of August,
1914, to the end OF August, 1916.
the date of RumaniaS Intervention
two years and a month passed.
The virgin referred to in the
is evidently meant to
typIfy Italy. since the Greek letters
composing her name correspond TO
TWO Is, two as. and an |. which
form the name Italia. Evidently
according to the prophecy. Italy is
destined to play decisive role in
the war and bring about lis end.
The end of the war is clearly
predicted. and as there was new
moon on August %, 1915. counting
thirteen lunar months from then
and taking into account the fact
that the sun crosses the sign of the
lion in summer, it is comparatively
easy to calculate approximately
that, according to the prophecy. the
war will end toward the middle of
next September, until when great
devastationS over all the world will
happen X. C. Star.

Bad Egg Arithmetic.

More than One-siXth, II per cent
of the annual egg output Of Mis-
souri, is lost thru careleSSneSs. Ac-
cordirg TO figures supplied by H l.
Kempster. professor of poultry
Husbandry in the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture.
Missouri hens produce 1892, 100000
eggs a year Of this number, II
per cent, or 226.440,C00 eggs are
lost thru spOilage and breakage.
These 226.44OG00 eggs would weigh
2S.305,000 pounds. They represent
14l.525,0 900 pounds of chicken feed
and the output 2.264,400 hens. If
all the eggs which are now wasted
in Missouri were conserved, there
would be one extra egg for every
man, woman and child in the state
for every Sunday and holiday in
the year.
The loss from bad eggs comes
about because a single broken or
spoiled egg is not considered Il great
loss. In fact it so small that it is
hardly noticed on the average
farm, but it is the total of these
broken and bad eggs which causes
annual loss ofS5.661, 900 when eees
are selling at 30 cents a dozen.
These bad and broken eggs not
only represent a loss of human food
but they represent a loss of grain
and other feeds which the country
can ill afford especially at this time
of national food shortage. 1t is
probable that similar losses occur
each year in other states.

Don Sante Mont, learned priest
of Como. Italy, who is president OF
the Como Historical Society and di,
rector of the civic museum, has a
Seventeeth Century bookcOntainine
a collection of letters, verses in
Latin and Italian by uncertain au-
thOrS and other documents. The
book evidently belonged originally
to the writer, Paolo GiOviO.
Among other things il contains a
curious prophecy about the present
war attributed TO ST. Malachy, arch
bishop of Armagh, Ireland, who
died in 114S.
The war prophecy in the Como
book is written in Latinin the same
handwriting as other documents
and in all probability it was copied
from some earlier manuscript in
the Seventeenth Century 1t is
dated 1859. more than three cen
turtles after ST Malachy'S death.
There is no doubt, however. that
the prophecy was written down
three hundred years ago, and its
interest is, therefore, undiminished
despite the fact that it may have
been wrongly attributed TO ST.
Malachy.
The following is a careful English
translation of the prophecy from
the Latin original:
