To an English writer. tho men con-

proposing il left to the women to do.
When a woman Of New Guinea falls
in lore with a man she sends q piece
OF string to his sister. or III he has no
sister to his mother or another or his
lady relatives. Then the lady who
receives the string tells the man that
the particular darnsel Is In love with
him. II the man thinks he would like
to wed tina lady he meets her alone
and they decide straight away
whether TO marry or drop the idea.
In the former case the bstrothal Is
announced. The man Is then branded
On the back with charcoal, while a

Although the Gambling method of de-
termining the quality of eggs in the
shell is the best known for commercial
grading, recent investigations conduct
ed by the United States department Of
agriculture show that one group Of
eggs of inferior quality cannot be de-
tected by this system, and that it is
inadequate in grading still another
group. The investigations, reported in
Department Bulletin 702, show that eX-
perienced Gamblers and those using ex-
IRENE care do not make many mis-
takes in grading eggs. Eggs with green
whites and those having a normal APP
pearance but bad odors are not recog-
nizable by Gambling. White rots, more
particularly mixed rots, eggs with
y0lks slightly stuck TO the shell, blood
rings and eggs with bloody whites are
not always detected and are included
in the group most frequently miscan-
died by inexperienced or careless work
men. Eggs with brown shells or light

In the studies with skilled Gamblers,
who candled number Of eases of 30
dozen eggs each, the average proper
ton of bad eggs miscandled per case
varied from % in spring firsts to 1877
in very low grade cOld-storage eggs.
The percentage of bad eggs which
could not be found by recandling
ranged from none to sos per cent per
case and depended on the grade of the
eggs examined. In the commercial
Gambling of 128.5S7 eggs, 1886 bad
eggs were found of which 71.65 per
cent were recognized by Gambling and
the balance, or 2S.35 per cent, were
not found until the eggs We're opened
and examined individually. Then it
was observed that the 2S.35 per cent
was divided between group Of 1902
per cent bad eggs, which in many in
stances are distinguishable by can
ding, and a second group of 1l.33 per
cent consisting of types of bad eggs

The accuracy of Gambling depends
upon the quality of the eggs and the
skill of the GAMBLER, according to the

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent hfe insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so com
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmers Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad-
wise our readers who feel in need of such
remedy to give it a trial 1t is on sale

ROYAL PALACE LITTLE USED
Castle of Nuremberg, In Germany,
Was, However, Always Kept in
Readiness for Occupancy

Every large city in Germany has n
palace or two. some more. Hanover
has four. Dresden has two, Stuttgart
has four, and SO on. All of these were
occupied more or less permanently by
members of the reigning family. As an
example of one not so occupied, but al
ways kept ready for occupancy, may
be mentioned the castle of Nuremberg.
It Is of the medieval type; thick
stone walls. towers. dungeons and all
the things that go to make ZIP the cas-
tie of ones Imagination. It stands
upon hill which commands a view Of
the surrounding COuntry--a necessity
in the times during which it was built.
Most of the interior is now a mu-
scum which is educational in its way,
especially the rooms containing the
instruments of torture, some of which
were in use during the eighteenth cen
fury.

BEST WEIGHT FOR LEGHORNS
Three and one-Haf Pounds for Hens
and Four and One Quarter for
Cocks Is Average.

There is no standard weight given
for Leghorns, though the average may
be said to be three and one-half
pounds for hens, and four and one
quarter pounds for cocks. Pullets and
coekerels are trife under these
weights. Some strains run heavier,
which is obtained by introducing Mi
norca blood. 1t is thought that some
of the English breeders have crossed
a little Wyandotte blood, for their
Leghorns are of a much different type.
