THE BEECH-NUT PICNIC
VER in a certain part of the Green
Forest grow silver-barked beeches,
the trees that Peter Rabbit thinks are
the most beautiful of all trees that in
winter are bare of leaves. Already
they were partly bare and the leaves
which ung to them were crisp
and yellow. The beech trees, like
Johnny Chuck, were about ready to go
to sleep for the winter. You see, thelr
summer's work was about finished. In
fact for beneath
them among the crisp fallen
leaves were ever and ever so many
ripe, brown, three-sided little nuts, the

Those brown ed little nuts
were the gift of the silver-barked
beech trees, for the Joy and well-being
of some of their feaifered and furred
neighbors. All summer those lit

prickly husks on the beautiful beech
trees. At first, they had been

ry Little Breezes had shaken out the
little brown nuts and they had rattled
merrily down through the branches to
the ground and rolled this way and

When Babies Take
Their Naps
By ANNE CAMPBELL
UR neighborhood, when afternoon
Flings down its golden banner,
Is quiet as a day in June,
Quite In the rustic manner?
There are no eager, laughing girls,
No lusty little chaps
To tease them and to pull thelr curls,
When babies take their naps!
All morning they run up and down
Our happy neighborhood,
And many of the mothers frown,
And wistk they would be good!
They run and run, and rest,
Till mother's sounds “Taps !™
And brings the time we like the best,

HOW TO COOK EGGS
Te secret of egg cookery Hes in
the simple principle, which is a
rule with all protein foods, never to
cook them at a high temperature, ns
heat toughens and hardens protein
foods. Eggs, being the most delicate
of these foods, should have especial
care In cooking. When we speak of
eggs as bolled hard or soft, we do not
mean boiled at all. Eggs will eook
hard at 170 to 180 degrees, depending
upon the length of time to which they
have been subjected to the heat, Eggs
to be cooked In the shell, If desired
hard, should be placed in a saucepan,
using one pint of boiling water for
each egg that Is of room temperature
when put into the water: If taken from
the Ice chest, more boiling water will
be needed to cook the egg. Cover
closely and let stand on the back of
the range or in a warm place for 30
minutes. The egg Is then hard cooked,
but the white will be tender and eas
Hy digested. If a soft-cooked egg of
various softness Is desired, remove at
six, ten or twelve minutes, Once the
principle Is learned for cooking eggs In
the shell it is learned for other forms.
Low temperature, below the boiling
point, is used for poached eggs. When
cooking foods with eges, place the dish
in water, especially In the oven cook
ing. A successful meringue Is one that
expands by long slow cooking In the
oven for 20 minutes in an oven of 250
to 300 degrees,

Great Project Futile
The most monumental construction
work of the Orient was 8 fallure, It
was the great Chinese wall, portions
of which still stand ondamaged by
time. It extends 500 leagues, and is
45 feet In height and 18 in thickness —
a2 most singular monument both of
human industry and of human folly.
The Tartars, against whom it was
meant as = defense, found China
equally accessible as before its forma-
tion. They were not at pains to at-
tack and make a breach in this ram-
part which, from the impossibility of
defending such a streteh of fortifiea-
tion, must have been exceedingly easy;
they had enly to travel a little to the
eastward, to about 40 degrees of lati
