FORFEIT TO THE CROWN.

At an inquiry under the Wafer Great Seal in the Royal Courts of Justice re- cently, a special jury decided that the English securities held by the ex King of Bulgaria, amounting in value to £400,000, were forfeited to the Crown..

The Attorney-General said the proceed- ings were somewhat unusual, and little more than formal. When the formal record was made it would give the ex- King or anyone through him the right, if they wished, to challenge the "result of the inquiry, There were thred schedules in which these securities were made. They draprised securities the value of which amounted, in the whole, to roughly 400,000: The facts were un- dispated.

On October 15th., 1915, at 10 p... a state of war began to exist betp een this dountry and Bulgarip. For some years before that date Messrs. Courts & Co. the well-known bankers, had wted agents for King Ferdinand, and, in that capacity, they held for him a number of securities which, fell into three classes. There were first of all bearer securities; accondly, securities held by nominees; and thirdly, securities registered in the name of Ferdinand. With regard to the securi- ties held by nominees, some of them were in the name of Messrs. Coutts Co., some in the names of Mr. Makolm and Mr. Majoribunks, and some in the names of Mr. Stevenson and Mr. Phillimore.

Upon the outbreak of war Messrs. Coutts communicated to the Public Trustee the fact that they held these securities, which were afterwards de- posited with the Bank of England, The dividends received from time to time upon the securities had been invested in Treasury bills.

After a member of the staff of Coutts. Co. and an official of the Bank of England had given formal proof of the Facts Stated, the jury found no mentioned above.

LEC TRAINING CENTRES.

The domestic servant problem, accord- ing to the Ministry of Labour, is becom- ing easier and girls are showing more clination to come back to domestic work.

Matters will become better still when the new training centres for domestic ser- Fapta organized by the London County: Council are in full swing. One of these new centres" was opened at Hammersmith, and all vacancies for training at this particular schoof have been Elled.

The training is free to all girls who were in receipt, of Sunemployment dora- tions.

Girls training for parbarmaids will practise waiting at table, and little points of etiquette will be practised, such as not joining in the laughter which follows a good joke by one of the guests.

-Detrained parlournaids have bee known to join in the conversation under the stress of the knowledge that a state neat made by a guest was incorrect. The correct way of handing round vegetables and moving plates silently and swiftly are all parts of the curriculum."

In encouraging girls to take up domes tic service a particular point is made of the excelent position of domestic servant as compared with a factory work

SEX OF AN EGG,

---

BY J. T. BROWN, F.2.8.]·

The oft-cited theory that the shape of an egg is a guide to the sex of the future erick dates back centuries. Hence we read in Hornos (Lib. II, Sat 43 that long eggs would produce, cocks,

The old-time antirist was doubtless led to make this statement because. it had come to his knowledge that, on an aver age, the early egges of a pu'les would pro duce cnck, in about the proportion of thren to two fact whith remains un-j challenged to the present day

But that does not prove that the shape of the egg determines the ser

Then how is it that the eggs laid early in the season produce a preponderance of cockerels, and those laid Inter of pullets?

The reply to that is that early in the season the male, being in the pink or can- dition, is the predominant paginer, and his sex predominates.

Attempts to discover the sex of the exx before, hatching have engaged the atteo- tion of poultry keepers from time im
