ily solved by a woman She to Mrs
Sarah Erickson of Falconer N T
Having kept chlckeqa for 37 years
she believes she qualifies as an expert
In this line of effort
"I have worked out the problem"
she declares “By using marked leg-
bands trap nests and alarm clocks at-
tached to tbe nests I have determined
thqt a hen lays an egg at the same
hour minute and second that ahe waa
born ' or rather hatched For In-
stance if the hen happened to be able
to peck Its way through Its shell at
743 a m' she will by an egg at pre-
cisely 7:43 a m And she will do this
without variation every time ahe Is In-
clined to lay 1 have kept close sys-
tematic watch on my hens for five
years’ and I have never known the
rule to fall"

Fsreen Appears Entirely In Black
' —80m Other Signs -
In Spain the wedding Is spoiled If
one of the guests appears entirely In
black or If the 'bride looks Into n
mirror nfter orange blossoms and veil
are fast In her headdress
When n person’s hair ends split It’s
token by the superstitious for a sign
that she Is either n witch or has been
bewitched As blond hair splits more
readily than dark hair all witches
spirits and sorceresses have blond or
red hair according to popular belief
Likewise according to the standard of
art
On the marriage there Is often
much good-natured rivalry between
the groom and the bride In the Slav
countries as to who shall blow out

yet It prevails In aristocratic society
as well as In tbe peasant's hut even
as like this that “to Insure the life
and health of the children" the wom-
an must occupy the right side of the
bed In addition she must not smoke
before her forty-fifth year

try and many others against horning
a broom The bud of birch broom to

other articles are enclosed In a pink
allk bag secured with red silk and
worn on the back of the neck The
