Caviar.


There are many people who pretend to like
caviar, and it Is possible that few may have
forced themselves to relish the intensely salt or
rancid preparation of sturgeon eggs called by
this name. We believe the ''delicacy" first came
from Russia and we can imagine that native
of siberia, half Indian and half Esquimax, might
find caviar delightful change from whales
blubber and decayed seal. We have tasted
caviar, and think that old rusty mackerel brine
Is nectar beside 1t.
The Germans pretend to love caviar and
Americans who have been abroad eat it before
their friends to show their acquired taste con-
tracted in foreign lands. We read in the
De,dsche Fischerei Zeitung that some Germans
have been making caviar from the eggs of the
pike, and we wish them success In their search
after new source Of supply Of deticotessen.
Shakespeare speaks of something which the
general public cannot relish as being "caviar
to the general" The bard is correct, as usual.
Caviar is caviar, whether made Of triple-saited
rancid sturgeon eggs or Of the ova Of the pike
favored with seal bluDber and stale mackerel
brine.
To our friends who have not yet met this lux
ury we will say that at dinner, after the pud-
ding, ice cream, cheese, nuts, figs and raisns
have passed, you take piece of toast about
three inches square and cover it with a quarter
inch layer of something that looks like broken
rice stewed in coal tar. On this you put thick
layer of finely-chOpped raw onion and squeeze
lemon over it. You raise it to your lips; you
bite into it and roll your eyes heavenward and
declare that you never tasted anything half SO
delicious before. At the first opportunity you
slip down stairs and take quiet drink out Ofthe
kerosene can to get up proper aftertaste in
your mouth.
Yes the Germans have discovered a new
source Of caviar in the pike. and don't We wish
We had some of it. The memory OF the caviar
we have eaten comes over us like the recoliec-
tions of an Arctic explorer when he thinks Of
the train oil he has swallowed.

PATRIOTIC ISLANDERS LEAPING INTO ETERNITY.
The valley leading up from the town to the
Pail is not more than one-fourth of mile wide at
the Pail; and 1t rs here that thousands of natives
were killed many years ago. When these islands
were Inhabited by canpibas. or rather when the
Hawaiians were cannibals, King Kamahamaha l.,
who reigned on the island of Hawaii came over
to fight the people Of this island. He defeated
them and pursued them up the Nuiianna val
ley, and they knew that If they were captured
they would be roasted alive and eaten; SO thew
all jumped over the cliffs-the Pail. 1t is said
that skulls and other human bones can be found
at the bottom of the precipice. We reached

Early ElYsEiShfmg.

Elian. A.D.. 81, native Of Macedonia, says:
81 have received Information of the following
method of catching fish in Macedonia. In the
river Astr@os, which runs between Berena and
Thessalonica, there are fish which are orna-
mented with spots of different colors, but the
names they bear are best learned from the peo-
pie Of Macedonia Their food ID the flies which
frequent that river; and these nies differ from
any that are found elsewhere; for they are not
only unlike bees and wasps, but they unite In
themselves the likeness Of oil these insects
The people Of that country call them hippuri-
horseflies and q they ny near the surface Of
the water they are easily discerned BY the nsh,
which therefore giides gently to the place where
their shadows fan. and, just a. wolf snatches
sheep from the dock, with gulp It seizes the
fy and instantly plunges with It into the depths
OF the stream This has been noted and copied
by the fishermen. but with some variation, for
they do not employ the natural ny which will
scarcely bear the handling, but they initiate 1t
by art. A small quantity Of purple weol Is
wrapped around the hook and q couple OF wings
are added from yellow neck feathers OF Q cock
The rod and line are each four cubits long, and
this contrivance when skillfully cast on the
stream Is found eminentiy successful"

Street Filtration.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Pnilsdelphia Record.
So much has recently been written in con-
demnation of the .'masher' that few words on
the other side OF the question will not be amiss.
While not designing TO present the masher as q
saint, we would suggest that the burden of the
responsibility of street lrtatons be placed upon
the shoulders of those who Justly should bear
it. Brazen as the male street iirt appears he will
not often speak 10 a woman who offers him no en-
enlargement. 1t would be poor sort of fun for
him to invite attention all day long il his invita-
ton met with no response. 1t is manifest that
the girls are to blame for his presence upon the
streets. Let them lay aside their daslling bold
ness OF manner, which they often foolishy i'm
agine denotes independence but which Is as
dangerous as if is unseemly.. Such a derneanor
proyokes remarks from men and women which
would make the ears Of the average maiden
tingie with Indignation could she but hear them
There Is no doubt that many girls are lacking i'm
that modesty which would entitle them to con-
slderation. With these the street Irritation
frequently resulting in acquaintance Is q great
fr0lic; but these very girls would soon assume
manner not in accord with their character could
they see themselves as others see them. Very
few girls wish to be considered fast vet they
can by a certain recklessness of conduct while
In public places easily earn the appellation.
They may not be guilty Of any crime, but they
will as certainly lose the respect of every one
whose respect is worth having as though they
were. This particularly applies to women who
have reached or passed beyond the age Of
twenty. What may be readily overlooked In the
schoolgirl OF fifteen will not be forgotten In her
sister OF maturer years. In no other country
are unmarried women allowed 30 much freedom
as i'm our own. In view OF the disastrous results
OF this custom 1t would seem 20 be tic part Of
wisdom to adopt the Old World fashion OF chap
erones II, however, the girls and young women

o the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR,


To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR.
Seeing statement in The STAR few days
since to the effect that lady, Mrs. -, of
North Carolina, spent 300, 900 in aiding wound
ed soldiers during the late war, and is now liv-
ing in poverty, forcibly reminds me of another
lady, also of the south, who didn't only spend a
large sum of money in purchasing and prepar-
ing articles Of diet suitable for the sick and
wounded, but left comfortable home and went
to the front, where, in the hospitals. she dis
pensed them with her own hands. She was re-
peatedly under fire, shells bursting and Jagged
fragments of the deadly missiles falling thick
around her; but nothing daunted, she persevered
from the very beginning in well DOING like q
ministerng angel. and was content with CRATE
full Acknowledgements Of her munifcence. But
now that che is growing Old and being in trou-
bic. she recently ventured to ask of two heads
of government departments an appointment for
her son, elm nently we'll qualified. 1t is unne-
cessary to add that her claims were not recog-
nlzed How much longer will such ingrates

The Paris BOuufnfste.

Wit regard to the secondhand booksellers OF
Paris, the authors relate curious anecdote of
Charles Nodler. He one day went from one
bouquiniste to another. tryingto complete a Ger
tain collection in which he took deep interest.
In the box belonging to shabby little old man
at the corner OF the Pont des Arts he suddenly
saw the book he had long been looking fora
Schrevelus in the Leyden edition Of 1868. He
opened 1t, looked at it, looked at the old man.
fancied he knew what kind of person he had
to deal with, and said In a careless tone: swell,
my good fellow, what do you want for this rub
bish! I'll give you 80 sous" Rubbish 80
sOus!" cried the old man, whose face shone with
holy horror, rubbish! But M. Nodler-"
"What You know my name?" "Oh, monsieur.
who Is there does not know the name of the
learned the accomplished, the kindly academi-
clan. to whom We owe SO many delightful
works." Nodler. highly fiattered. looked at the
little man with interest and curiosity. "Thirty
sous. NJ. NOder," the other continued; rubbish,
this Schrevelius! This variorum edition, though
1t is less looked for than the Amsterdam edition
OF 1854, is not whit less remarkable, and GER
tainly does not deserve the scOrn you profess for
it. l will not go so far as to compare it with the
Venice Aldines of 1901, but still-" Nodler,
astOnished to hear the little man talking like
this. put host of photographed questions to
him, all Of which he answered In manner that
completed the academician's surprise. Delighted
to find SO much learning under the wel-wOrn
surtont Of the book-staIl keeper, Noedler asked
his opinion Of q new edition of Juvenal, which
Achaintre. the first Latinst of the day, had just
brought out. At this the old man seemed con-
fused. ''Surely, monsieur" said Nodier, ''you
know Of this monumental work, which will be
the envy and despair of the German phlOlo-
gists?" THE fact ia, monsieur" replied the
little old man. with growing embarrassment,
1.-THE fact is that am Achaintre." This. OF
course, was at any time a very exceptional
case; and the authors tell US that the majority
of bOuquinistes nowadays are cunning Nor
mans, who have their own methods Of putting
a price On their wares They watch you, If you
are an intending purchaser. with jealous care,
and they will guage the depth OF your desire
for particular book from an involuntary ges-
ture or even from an affectatiOn OF indifference.
They have, however, for the most part, rather
a bad time for one real collector there are
fifty idlers, who rummage the contents of their
boxes to no purpose, and leave them in dis
order. The true bOuquineuris always eager for
the chase in all weathers, and even If he does
not end his scrutiny by buying, at least he has
an intelligent and kindly word for the bou-
quiniste.
