Hens That Laid
Golden Eggs
By DOROTHY DOUGLAS
(CwpyrlfbL)
rpilE little row of cottuges that lay
out Mount Vernon wuy might
have been picked up from ttouie old
Llnglish lane and transplanted to Amer
ican Koil, so closely did they resemble
those artistic bits one gets from over
seas by way of postcards.
Jack Dunvers and Ted Everly were
living In one for the summer because
Jack had had an accident to his foot
and needed country air by way of
speeding his recuperation. Ted was
ministering to his chum during the
hours before dashing for his train to
business und following biS return In
the evening.
In the next garden, separated by a
glorious hedge, lived Irina Westlake
with other members of the Westlake
family. Intent on enjoying their sum
mer holiday.
And last, but not least, there dwelt
the hens that laid the golden eggs,
not In their own coop, where any well
trained hen should deposit her eggs,
but anywhere they happened to be In
clined. The hens belonged to Danvers
and liverly, having come with the cot
tage they had rented.
The first Intimation that Irma had
that there were hens in the neighbor
hood was when she caught sight of one
busily engaged In procuring a fresh
salad for her breakfast in Irma's let
tuce bed.
An Irate Irma flew down the garden
path and a disturbed hen squeezed
swiftly through the hedge into her own
domain. Irma repaired the bed and
would have tucked that hedge well
along with brambles to prevent fur
ther pllgrlpages of hens had she not
seen Jack Dapvers, good looking, but
a bit fragile, recuperating in the sun.
A likely looking young man in the
next garden was no small attraction
out In the country away from all one's
friends, and Irma set about luring the
hens Into her garden.
It was not long before she found
two fine big eggs in a nesty part of the
hedge?her own side of It. Irma had
not hoped for such luck.
"I can hardly keep my neighbor's
eggs," she told herself. "It would not
he honest and, besides, he looks as If
he needed all the fresh eggs he could
eat."
And becausfe they were two bach
elors trying to keep house for each
other, Irma decided It would be bet
ter to cook the eggs before return
ing them. She had a wonderful way
of beating them up with milk and but
ter and putting them in the oven to
bake.
A half-hour later, just at lunch time,
and before Jack had pulled himself
out of the hammock swing to go in and
rummage for food, a small girl entered
his garden cnrrying a dainty tray.
Jack was so astonished at the wee
fairy godmother, who deposited her
tray swiftly and ran more swiftly out
of his sight, that he was tonguetled.
lie could only watch her go as quick
movement was impossible with his
iame leg.
However, Jack sniffed the delicious
eggs. There were bits of crisp, but
tered toast accompanying, and Jack
had not enjoyed a repast so much for
many a day. He was curious beyond
words as to the good angel's identity,
but that she could cook daintily was
an evident fact.
He told Tom about It In the eve
ning and Tom only grinned.
"Some of these mothers of the
world are looking'out for you, old man
?take care that she doesn't catch you
?by way of your Interior."
"Anyway," laughed Jack, "you Just
keep your eye open for a wee golden
haired girl about here."
Two days later at high noon the
gate opened cautiously and Jack sat
up eagerly In his hammock. The lit
tle girl again stood before him, and
would have put down her tray and es
caped except that Jack with a swift
movement put an arm about her and
held her squirming but flrpily.
On the tray was fresh salad made
from hard-boiled eggs mixed with let
tuce and old-fashioned dressing such as
his mother used to make. Also a large
slice of home-made layer cake.
"Now little miss," admonished Jack,
"you are to stay here until you tell
me who is being so very kind to me.
I know where there 1* a little blue
Persian kitten who would just love to
belong to a wee glrly like you."
Bounle snuggled against Jack's arm
confidingly. "I just love kittens," she
said softly afalnst his coat "But
Irmu told me not to tell. She Is my
big sister, and we live next door, and
your hens came Into Irtua's garden and
laid their eggs." She looked wide
eyed up at him. She promised me a
tittle black pappy?if I didn't tell."
"No, honey, I won't tell, and you
?ball have the kitten Just as sooo as
I can get It."
Bonnie deposited a butterfly kiss on
ki? chin nnd slipped sway.
Jack called up Tom In the city.
"Scuux the. town for % bis* Ptrataa
his order.
Un the train that night. returning
from town, a blue-eyed elrl sat down
with a black puppy and a youn.; man
with a blue Persian sat down beside
her. They got to talking about the
animals. Tom told her all about his
pal Jack, and Iruia had the grace to
blush.
"He Is one of the finest," said Tom.
"1 wish you could pop In and see him
?he finds It a bit dull."
So, while the eggs were not really
golden they proved to be worth far
more than gold?to two happy persona.
Cave Tint to Water
Opposite Buckingham palace Is to
be found the Victoria memorial. This
beautiful piece of workmanship is
particularly remarkable for the clear,
delicate green of the water in its mar
ble basins. The Secret of its coloring
and tranalucency was reveafed recent
ly when two workmen were observed
solemnly drawing a large sack to and
fro through the water. They ex
plained to an Interested onlooker that
the sack was filled with a certain sub
stance which, while preventing the
growth of weeds, gave the water Its
delicate apple-green tint. ? London

Oldest Form of Writing
The Egyptian system of writing Is
perhaps the oldest of the known
scripts. This writing was in the form
of pictures. The most ancient Egyp
tian papyrus now known contains ac
counts of the reign of King Assa
(3580-3536 B. C.). The earliest lit
erary papyrus Is that known for the
name of its former owner as the
Prisse Papyrus, now preserved In
Paris. It contains a work composed
in the reign of a king of the fifth
dynasty, and Is computed to have
been written as early as 2500 B. C.
Caddy's Limitation?
One day "Fiery" was caddying for a
rather petulant golfer, who, after miss
ing a short putt on the ninth green at
Muirfield threw his putter into the
neighboring potato field to relieve his
feelings.
With face unmoved, "Fiery" wai
walking in the direction of the next
tee when the golfer said: "Oh! 'Fiery,'
you might go and get my putter."
To this "Fiery" replied: "I'm paid
tae carry, no tae fetch and carry."
Likes and Dislikes for
Various Kinds of Food
Many races, many foods, many fads.
The luxury of one people Is the bane
of another. An attempt is being made
to introduce snails as an article of food
In certain London restaurants." The
French, of course, fegard snails as a
delicacy, while Britishers almost shud
der at the thought of eating them I Yet
English folks eat mussels, whelks and
winkles, which In some countries are
regarded as being unfit for human con
sumption. In England the eel is rel
ished by many people, but in Scotland
it is detested by nearly everybody.
Rabbits are looked upon as vermin in
some parts of America and Australia
and are seldom served at table. Ia
Britain rabbit pie Is a favorite dish.
Swede turnips are often eaten in Scot
land and Canada with other vegeta
bles, whereas in some parts of England
they are cordially disliked and given
only to cattle. Turnip-tops in Scotland,
again, are not considered worth cook
ing. But in Covent Garden they sell
by the ton.?London Mail.
Growth of Jellyfith
The manner in which a Jellyfish pro
duces its "children" is really wonder
ful.
In most cases the beginning is an
egg, which, lying on the bottom, pro
duces a beautiful tree-like growth. The
"tree" fastens Itself to the bottom and
brings forth buds which, when ripe,
drop off and develop into Jellyfish. The
latter, In turn, lay eggs and the process
Is repeated, as told In London Tlt-Blts.
Most of the very large species have
a different way of reproducing them
selves. The egg is set free in the water
and develops into a pear-shaped larvae,
which for a while swims about rapidly,
being provided with hair-like' append
ages that serve the purpose of ears.
Then the larvae settles down, anchors
itself to the bottom, Increases in size
rapidly and finally splits up Into thin,
flat discs which swim off and grow up
Into large Jellyfishes.

Marriages That Lmd
to Odd Relationship*
Mysterious muddles sometime? arise
out of second marriages. A Corslcan
girl married a man whose first wile
was the sister of the girl's grand
mother. This makes her her own
mother's granu-aunt and her grand
mother's sister-in-law. To her brother
and sisters she Is creat-aunt. Finally,
she Is her own grand-niece. Iler hus
band Is the brother-in-law of his grand
nephews and grand-nieces.
An elderly American became the
grandfather of his six children, and
his first wife's stepfather. He divorced
his wife and married his mother-in
law. The widower who married in suc
cession se\eu sisters contracted vari
ous relationships, says the Montreal
Family Herald and Star. This man
started by marrying the eldest of the
sisters, and subsequently went right
down the line. Finally he led tha
seventh and last sister to the altar.
A German village is puzzled over tbp
relationships resulting from the double
marriage of a father and a son. The
father, a widower, married the village
belle. She thus became a stepmother
her husband's forty-year-old son. The
son, in his turn, met the girl's mother
and married her. Consequently his
father is now his son-in-law and he
himself is his own grandfather. In the
meantime, the village belle presented
her husband with a baby duughter.
Clearly this child Is sister-in-law to her
grandmother I
Swing Plays Part in
Hindu Religicis Rites
One often hnds in the near vicinity
r>f a Hindu temple, says a writer in an
Indian paper, two high stone pillars,
sometimes 30 feet high, with ?. bioue
crosspiece, from which bany Iron
chains. These swings play an unpen
taut part in the various festival? of the
year, especially for the young people.
The very act of swinging on this sa*
cred structure is pleasing to the deity
of the temple, and when it is possible
to combine both pleasure and worship,
then It is not unnatural this form of
exercise should be greatly appreciated.
In certain seasons, especially the har
vest season, the swing is in great de
maud, and religious ceremonies are per
formed by the priests of the temple.
On the top bar of the swing It is not
unu?ual to find a number of earthen
ware chattels, which are the home of
the sacred pigeons connected with the
temple.
These swings are often built in the
middle of the street, and they not In
frequently constitute a real obstacle
to traffic. But the authorities would
certainly have gHeat difficulty in per
suading the temple people to agree to
the removal of them.
Death in Triumph
Edouard Remenyi was a famous
Hungarian violinist who made several
world tours and settled 1b New York
for some years. He died of apoplexy
on the stage of the Qrpheum theater,
San Francisco, on May 15, 1898. This
was his first appearance on the vaude
ville stage and he was enthusiastical
ly received on playing two or three
classical pieces. He responded with
"Old Glory," which created tremen
dous applause. Then he commenced
to play Dellbes' "Fizzlcati," but after
a few measures he leaned over and
then fell forward on his face, dead.
It is interesting to know that at one
time the composer, Brahms, traveled
with Remenyi and acted as his ac
companist

along a little-used country road, heard
something rattle beneath his car,
stopped, looked back and saw a bright
metal object lying In the road a short
distance behind It was a plowpolnt,

It was fully half an hour before the
next car came along, and its occupant,
seeing the first man fiat on bis back
under his vehicle by the roadside,
stopped and asked what the trouble
was.
