worlds record for egg production, a
hen on his farm having laid 339 eggs

a poultry breeder at Barea, Ohio, and

the birds, the Ohio man came all the
way to Florida to purchase them. The
hens vii be exhibited this summer at

KONARCHY will be restored
|" in Germany in the year
1927. That is. il a gypsy
prophecy is fulfilled. This proph-
ecy, dating from 1s49. has been re-
vived by a German lecturer in an
address on "Germany's Future"
According to this chronicler.
Prince wilhelm Of Germany, later
the first Emperor Of the New
German Empire. was retiring from
Baden. whittier he had gone to
suppress rising. when he was
met by a band of gypsies. In
some way, the customary fortune
teller of the band gained access to
the prince and read from his hand
four prophecies, three Of which
have already come true. They
were as follows:
1. He would become Emperor
of an united Germany.
2. He would live to the age of
ninety-one.
8. The German Empire estab-
lished under his aegis would go to
pieces after a comparatively short
existence, the Prussian throne col
lapsing in the ruins.
4. A new Prussian King would
be chosen on March 10, 1927.
The prince was amused but in
credulous, and the gypsy, feeling
her professional honor at stake.
offered to prove her prophecies
mathematically. Accordingly she
drew up the following table:
