Eggs are Eggs.
The wifo of a certain suburban was that nuisance among good cooks—a per- • potual borrower. One day it was a cup full of sugar ; the next a box of blueing and the clothes-wringer and so on. And she wasn't half as good at returning as she was at borrowing. One day in the midst of her cooking not an egg was to be found. Over she went to one of hor neighbours, a widow of small means, and borrowed the two or threo eggs she happened to have in the house. Several weeks elapsed, when one forenoon she appeared in the widow's kitchen with three eggs in a paper bag " Good morning, Mrs S. I have come to return something you let me havo the other day. I hud boiled eggs for breakfast this morning, and these aro three I had left over. Eggs are eggd.yoa know."—"Rostra Evening Kecord."
