WOMAN WORKS OUT PROBLEM
Mrs. Sarah Erickson Declares the Hen
Lays an Egg at the Same Hour
She Was Born.
What time o’ tiny
Does a lien lay?
That question has puzzled poultry
fanciers for unnumbered decades, but
now, it seems, it has been satisfactor-
ily solved by a woman. She is Mrs.
Sarah Erickson of Falconer, N. Y.
Having kept chickens 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 the nests I have determined
that a hen lays an egg at the same
hour, minute and second that she was
born, or, rather, hatched. For In-
stance, if the hen happened to be able
to peck its way through its shell at
7:43 a. m., Bhe will lay an egg at pre-
cisely 7:43 a. m. And she will do this
without variation every time she is in-
clined to lay. I have kept close, sys-
tematic watch on my hens for live
years, and I have never known the
rule to fail.”
In Spain the wedding Is spoiled if
one of the guests appears entirely in
black, or if the bride lookH Into a
mirror after orange blossoms and veil
are fast In her headdress.
When a person's hair ends split, it s
taken by the superstitious for a sign
that she is either a witch or has ibeen
bew itched. 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
the candle, for the person who does
will be "first to die.” It is Imposible
to trace the origin of this superstition,
yet it prevails In aristocratic society
as well as in the 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.
There Is a superstition In thlB coun-
try and many others against burning
a broom. The bud of birch broom is
used in southern Germany as n pre-
ventive against erysipelas. These
buds, a piece of yellow wax and some
other articles are enclosed in a pink
silk bag, secured with red sifk and
worn on the back of the neck. The
person must change his shirt every
Friday.

HOW IT SEEMED TO HIM.
City Cousin—The hotel you were
stopping at, was it on the American
or European plan?
Country Cousin—Waal, I don’t Jest
exactly know, but I think it must hev
bin on th’ get-rich-qulck plan.
Often, Life "Innocents Abroad,” They
Have Been the First Books
of the Authors
Many best sellers have been the
first books of their authors. Mark
Twain, then an impecunious newspa-
per man with little more than a local
reputation for journalistic practical
jokes, persuaded the publishers of a
western paper to pay his expenses on
the widely exploited excursion of the
Quaker City. The letters which were
the result of this journey grew into
the book "The Innocents Abroad” and
the name of ffark Twain became an
American household word.
Archibald Clavering Gunter, who
had been a mining and civil engineer
and a broker on the San Francisco
exchange, possessed a manuscript
that no established publisher could
be induced to touch. So he issued 't
at His own expense and in a vei'y
short time the question of the hour
became “Have you read ‘Mr. Barnes
of Now York?’’’
Remedy Lie* With Women.
The editor of the Delineator says:
“Wherever American laws remain un-
just to women the fault lies with the
women. There is no longer any ex-
cuse for women saying they do not
know where wrong legal conditions
exist. Newspapers, magazines, lec-
turers, pamphlets, to say nothing of
the eight hundred thousand club wom-
en of the country, see to it that overy
injustice has an airing as soon as it
becomes evident.”
I be pastor of a church in a small
towri on the Hudson river visited Chi-
cago just after the great fire, saw in
the catastrophe, the background of a
novel with a strong religious appeal,
and in the course of a f, w months
awoke to find himself famous as the
author of "Barriers Burned Away.”
An impetuous southern woman, the
author of one or two books that hud
been lost in the turmoil of the great
civil struggle, went to New York at
the close of the war with the manu-
script of a novel and a year or t-.vo
later the traveler in southern states
was progressing on land by St. Elmo
coaches, on water by St. Elmo steam-
boats, staying in St. Elmo hotels,
smoking St. Elmo cigars and drinking
St. Elmo punch.
It was a very different matter with
Frances Hodgson Burnett’s “Little
Lord Fauntleroy,", says the Bookman.
That book was tin; work, not of a
novice, but of a /writer who knew her
meter.
Value of Swimming Lessons,
Florence Shellard, a Windsor school,
girl, recently demonstrated the value
of Bwimmiiig being included In the
sobool curriculum, when in a most
plucky manner she rescued another
•ittle girl, aged five years, from drown-
ing in the Thames. Without waiting
to call for help, Miss Shellard jumped
into the river and went to the rescue
of her companion, who had already
gone down twice before she reached
her.—London Telegraph.
A Pen and Ink Shakespeare,
Woodrow Wilson, on a recent visit
to Atlantic City, referred good humor-
edly to his rather illegible handwrit
ing.
“But my hand is nothing,” he said,
“to that of Horace Greeley.
“Poor Greeley once quoted from
Shakespeare in a leading article, ‘ ’Tis
true, ’tls pity, and pity ’tis. ’tis true.’
“This appeared the next day:
"1 ’Tis tw-o, ’tis fifty, ’tis fifty, ’tis
fifty-two.’ ”

Old Roman Wall Unearthed.
A part of the waU which once en
closed old St. Paul’d, London, has been
discovered in excavations at the cor-
ner of Paternoster Row and St. Paul’s
alley in London. The wall, which is
about 60 feet long, is made of chalk
and rubble, and was built in the
twelfth century. On the same site
pieces of a Roman amphora, Roman
vases and some Samian ware have
also been found. Other "finds" include
a camel’s skull unearthed in High Hoi-
born and a large quantity of pipes of
the eighteenth century. Under some
old stables in Bartholomew Close—
one of the oldest parts of London—
three Norman arches have been found.
They are close to one another, and
fvre believed to have formed part of
the cloisters of the priory which once
stood on this Bile.
