SEX DETERMINATIONS
Scottish Farm Wives Apply Tests to
Hens Eggs.

Prof Julian Huxley's theories of sex
predetermination are nothing new to
Scottish farmers wives, who claim an
infallibe method of learning which eggs
win produce cockerels and which hens.
Their method is this:
Take a threaded needle aud string an
ordinary cork--corks are plentiful in
Scotland-about half way between the
needle and a knot in the other end of the
thread Holding the egg in the left hand.
suspend the needle and cork, hold by the
knot in the right hand, over but not
touching the egg.
If the needle moves pendulumwise. 10
and fro. the egg will hatch a cockercl ;
il it oscilliates with a circular motion.
the egg will hatch hen; if the needle
doesn't move. the egg is infertile.-Nrw

Not Expecting a Revolution.
(Rutland HeraId.)

The St. Alhans Messenger is right in
saying that no revolution would follow
the adoption of an executive budget,
with right of way over other business.
and it is further true that no effective
reform viii come except through act of
the legislature, but these things together
ought to help. Certainly pledged legis-
lature will not repudiate its pledges.

The Secret Of the Spell

The Secret Of the Spell
TACK and Janet, made fairylike by
y the magic fairy caps. found it easy
to fly into the window of Giant Cross
Patch's castle. But If they had been
their usual size they couldn't have
gotten in at all, for the windows were
barred by strong steel grating. through
which it would have been impossible
for even baby to squeeze.
The Fairy King and Prince Filter
Flash followed Jack and Janet as far
as the windowsill. There the fairies
seated themselves like folks at movie
theatre to see what Jack and Janet
were going to do to bring the story Of
Rose Beauty and Dick Daring to n
happy ending.
Within the room itself crouched Rose
Beauty, u prisoner. Above her glowered
Giant Cross Patch. and behind the giant
was his dark faced spying secretary.
Whispering Tongue.
Have pity, my uncle, pleaded Rose
Beauty. "Be your own kind self again
and let me marry my lover, brave Dick
Daring
Before Giant Cross-Patch could an
swer, dark faced Whispering Tongue
whispered into his ear.
Don't listen to her. said Whisper
ing Tongue "She is trying to trick
you by playing upon your kind heart.
BE firm. Lock her up and let her 90
hungry. Soon she will forget Dick
Daring and be ready to marry fine
rich man like me-
II will lock her up" roared Giant
t,,1 Las han
hungry. That will bring her to her
senses
Giant Cross Patch strode out Of the
door, followed by his spying secretary.
Jack and Janet wanted to stay to com
fort Rose Beauty, but they knew if they
were to learn the secret of the spell that
held Cross Patch they must keep clos"
watch upon him. The slipped through
the door just before Giant Cross Patch
slammed it shut.
The giant stamped off to his study,
with his spying secretary behind him.
This excitement is bad for your
poor, weak heart said Whispering
Tongue to the giant. You look very
ILL.,"
Now the giant didn't look a bit i'll,
He seemed az strong as an OK. But
when Whispering Tongue spoke of his
poor, weak heart, the giant put hls
hand to his breast and went pale. lie
staggered to couch and lay down.
Your ungrateful niece and hel
lover are making your heart worse
Some day it will stop still and that
. will be the end Of you," whispered
Whispering Tongue. pretending sym
pathy for the giant and taking his
wrist to feel his pulse. "Ah, your
pulse Is very weak. You are in very
dangerous way
These words seemed to make the giant
as ill as the spying secretary said hi
was.
1T Is too bad you are so sick JUS
when you are having 30 many business
losses" whispered Whispering Tongue
These losses worry you, and worr!
kills" The giant groaned and LOOKED
more miserable. He didn't know tina
his losses We're due to the stealings o
his rascal secretary.
If you had any real friends the!
would help you at this time went OF
Whispering Tongue. "But your friend
are secretly your enemies. They ar
glad to see your losses. They rejoic
because you are Ill. They hope to in
