large nunaber of arrests have been
made, 250 personhaving been taken
into custody at one factory
alone. Over 30„ possibly 100,
persons were wounded in a

Andrew torneglea Princely Gift to Pour
Universities of Ins Ain Countrie,
London, Illay 21. -Mr. Andrew Car-
negie has given £2,000.000 to es-
tablish free selucation in four Seotch
Universities -Edinburgh, Glasgow,
Aberdeea and St. Andrew's. He
stipulatee that the beneficiaries be
his "Scotch fellow countrymen" on-
ly, no English, Irish, Colonials or
foreigners. The fund will apply to
medical as well as to commereiered-
ucation, and will be placed in the
hands a trustees:, who will pay the
expenses of Scottish student -a bene-
fitted under thet seheme.
An Income of X50,000.
Mr. Carnegie had for some years
been considering the plan for helping
Scotch students to obtain a. univer-
sity education. He consulted with re-
presentative educetors, and the result
was that he presented the fund refer-
red to, whieh will produce an income
of Z50,000. Mr. Carnegie's inquiries
show that the total fees paid to the
four universities ie Ze9,000 annually.
He considers that the 2,2,000,000 be
has donated will give an income suf-
ficient to provide free university edu-
cation for every boy and girl in Scot-
land capable of pea:sing the entrance
examinations.
Riek iind Poor Alike.
Mr. Carnegie is ileternained that the
benefits Phan be open to rieh and
poor alike, se that there shall be no-
thing same:stave of pauperisra con-
nected with the gift. He desires that
all Scotelimen and Scotch women
shall enter the universities on an
equal footing, hence the money is not
given to the stedents to pay their
fees, but to the ..universities them-
selves. The system es made perpetual-
ly free, and will probably be Leader
Government auspices.

The importance of eggs in cookery
can scarcely bo overestimated, They
increase the nutritive value of any
dish to which they are added. Thus
it happens that eakes and paddiega
and bread mixtures that contain

nutritive value than the plain breads

the eggs have been cooked and CU/M-
ildly lifted to their resting places
on slices of toast the milk may bS
thickened with a little cornstarch,
seasoned with salt, pepper and but-
ter and poured over toast and eggs.
Another plain, everyday sort of
way of preparing eggs for the table
is the omelet, a foundation upon
which all manner of variations may
be played. Cook books have much
to say upon omelets, giving the
n umber of eggs let be used anywhere
from two or three to eight or ten.
The perfect omelet consists of three
eggs beaten until thick and foamy,
sent, Pepper and butter. It is far
better to make several Omelets to
supply a number of persons thaneto
attempt one large omelet. Some-
times the egg yolks are beaten first
with two tablespoonfuls, of cream,
a. little salt and pepper added, and
the stiffly whipped %tiles of the oggs
folded in just befofe cooking. The
omelet pan should always be hot and
oiled with butter when the omelet is
turned in. As for the mixed omelets
those that malce use of meats, oy.s-
ters or cheese have these ingredients
scattered over the surface of the
coeeing egg just before it is foleed.
Oysters- are parboiled, chopped, sea-
soned with salt, pepper and nutmeg
and moistened with cream before
they are added to the omelet. Cheese
is grated. Ham, tongue or chicken
is minced, seasoned and added. To-
matoes are stewed down to a desir-
able thickness, well seasoned and
spread over the surface of the ome-
let before it is folded. it: mixture of
a few chopped mushrooms and tru
a few chopped mushrooms . and
truffles, minced onions a,nd parsley,
moistened with. cream and seasoned
with -salt and pepper, is a good ad-
dition to an oinelet.
Hard boiled eggs serve as a basis
for many concoctions. For in-
stance, you may cut some hard boil-
ed eggs into halves and mash the
yolks, For half a dozen eggs mist
to the yolks one tablespoonful of
finely minced, cooked ham, a, hash od
paprika, two tablespoonfuls of melt-
ed butter and one tablespoonful of
anchovypaste; Mix well together,
then fill 4the whites of the eggs.

" who ;food in the Rock.
Of Leta days I have noticed a cola-
siderable number of reputed cases of

toads in what were alleged to be
solid rocks, seys a writer in The
London Ohroniele. This is, of
course, an old, old story tliat ap-
pears to poseeso pereenial powers
(like the toad) of revivifieation. I
had thought teat Dean Beeklancl
(father of the genial Frank) had ex-
ploded the toad in the rock myth
once for all. The dean inclosed
toads ancl frogs in cells cut in blocks
of stone, and buried theta threct feet
deep in his garden. Here the con-
ditionwere even less rigorous thau
those 'eerier whiCh the amphibians
are reported to survive for ages in
the "solid rock." Dean Bucidand'a
toads were nearly nil deed by tho

end n9ne survived the second year.
I have her stories of live toads be-
ing found in rocks of an age, geo-
ogieaUy older then these

bers of the class. But this "reductio
ad absurdum" does not seem to con-
vince the public of the impossibility
of even o cold blooded animal, and
one possessed of exceptional powers
of endurance, lasting witleout food
aud air for untold excels. I believe
where careful research is made the
fa.cts show that a juvenile toad may
slip into a crevice in a rock. may
grow and may feed on chance insects
that corae 1 ite way. The rock is
split asunder, it is supposed to have
been solid. the toad hops out, and

the Cards ere dealt, as in
whist, the dealer, instead of turtling*
up the last card for trumps, chooses
trumps from his own hand; or can. if
he prefers, have no truraps at all, or,
failing in this can pass`the option tb
his partner. Afterwards their adver-
saries May double, and, if the dealer
and his partner wish, they may re-
double, and this redoubling ratty be
carried on indefinitely, thougit the

Bridge offers great opportunittes for
very high play, and hence lifis the
reputation of being a gambling game,
and lends color to a. remark in "The

Theatre -that is: "My great ambi-
tion in life is to teach a. millionaire
to play Bridge." Where play is com-

The Stanhope gold medal of the
Royal Humane. Society for 1900 has
gone to Mr. William Allen, aeSunder-
land ,sailor, who left the sea some
three years ago, and has since been
engaged by the Patent Fuel Com-
pany, Sunderland. `On March 15 last
Word was brought to Allen that
three men were overcome by the
fumes of tar gas, and Were lying un-
cOnscioua at the bottom of a still.
Allen fastened a rope round himself,
and dashed into the still, and in a
few seconds came out with one of the
men. A second time he entered, and
yet a third, until the three men were
rescued. Each time Allen risked his
life in the Ventura. The case was
brought before the Royal Humane
Society, and at the recent annual
general count, Colonel Horace Mon-
tague in the chtix, it was resolved to
award the Stanhope gold medal to
Allen as "the bravest man of the
year" among all those whose gal-
lantry in saving life had beeri
brought before the society in 1900.
Allen is a typical seaman -quiet.,

It rcia,y4,10.1ungenerous to dispel a
• popular delusion, but there is no one
among the thousands who witness
ship launch who does not believe
that the beautifully girlanded bottle
of wine broken against the stem of a.
ship is anything but the choicest
brand of champagne, drawn from the
admirals' cellar. Whenever a ship is
launched in a dockyard tile admiralty
generously allows £40 as the cost of
the jubiliation, and included in this
sum of £40 is the item of 3 shillings
for wine. Hence, it follows that not
only in the wine not drawn from the
admiral's cellar, but it certainly it:
not champagne of ,foreign vintage. -

Plowing Triangular Fields.
Owing to creeks and oiler causes -
there are many irregular shaped
fields which are oftentimes plowed by
going around until finished ie the
centre. This centre is often a tri- •
angle. 1 never saw a plowman bet
*hat wont around this triangle until
it was at last plowed out. To finish
this way leaves a large, open fur- •
row, and necessitates turning square
around at the point. Often the
horses get thoh- feet out of the fur- -
row and make trouble. But the -
worst feature of it is the tramping

if in the spring.
