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 Times. 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 Hard to Fit A city man, driving bis automobile 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, evidently lost by some farmer.
