The EmperOr's Walking-Stick.

Not long ago, during the absence of the
Emperor, an English visitor was shown
through one of the imperial castles near
Berlin. He looked upon everything with
the most utter Cockney superciliousness,
until, say the story-tellers, he came
across a collection of walking-sticks,
when one of these, a sturdy piece of
hickory, quite captivated his fancy.
Long and longingly he gazed upon it and
handled it, nor did his admiration de-
crease when his guide, the steward s
daughter, informed him that it had been
cut from the forest and fashioned into
shape by the Emperor's own hands. At
last, however, he was constrained to tear
himself away from the object of his fan
cy, but just as he was leaving the castle
his admiration for the stick blazed forth
beyond control, and drawing a handful
of sovereigns from his pocket he init
mated to his fair guide that by so much
would she become richer if she would al
low him to bear away the coveted cane.
OF course she spurned the temptation in
dignantly, and he went away disconso-
late. Well. the girl told her father about
it, and he carried the story to the En-
peror on his ruturn to the castle, week
later. And when Kaiser Wilhelm heard
it he laughed right royal laugh and ex-
claimed: eff the fellow had offered me
so much good gold for the stick, would
have taken it, and turned it into the fund
for the invalid soldiers"

Edible Birds Nests.

The weed known as alwied is valued in
England for its nutritive properties.
Probably the choicest delicacy of this
class obtainable in China is the nest of
the esculent swallow, that is made up of
sea-weed collected by the bird, and con-
sidered by Asiatic epicurians great
dainty. The nest weighs about half an
ounce and is shaped like that of the COM
mon swallow, the fat side being attached
to the rock. One in my possession is of
extreme delicacy, seemingly composed of
fibres cemented by a secretion that the
bird had taken from some sea-weed.
They are found in vast caves and creviees
about the islands of the Archipelago;
also at Sumatra, particularly at Croee,
near the southerly portion of the island,
where they are jealousy watched by the
Javanese and Chinese, who make bust
ness of collecting them. While our
swallows will build an elaborate dwell
ing of fantastic shape in single day, the
edible-nest builder tolls two months be-
fore the delicate shelf is completed. Two
eggs are then deposited, and after fifteen
days the young appear. When they are
able to fly, the nesthunters descend to
the spot by bamboo ladders and native
ropes-a dangerous operation, in which
many lives are lost yearly. At first the
nests are delicate amber color or pure
white, and in this state are much
valued; those that are allowed to remain
until the young are reared being black,
equiring certain curing before they
are placed upon the market. AS soon as
large number are collected they are
dried in the sun. and packed in small
boxes, each containing half picUl. The
first quality are worth from $15 to $40 a
pound. The very finest nests, taken be-
fore eggs are laid, bring prices even
higher than the above quoted, and are
reserved for the mobiles of the Chinese
nation, by whom they are eaten in soups,
broths, and various ways. To the Amer
lean palate the dish is acceptable, and
reminds one of green turtle soup, cooked
and served as it should be. There are
three or four swallows that erect edible
nests, but the COUOcaEia nilifc1 is the
only one that is really of great CONNER
cial value, the others being only used by
the very poor classes of natives whose
homes are by the caves in which the
birds are found.-COr. N. Y. Post.
