China's Edible Birds Nests,


The edible bird nests of China are
formed OF. species of sea-weed, which
are carried by cave swallows often far
into the interior. 1t seems an especial
fayorite with these birds for nest-build-
ing. 1t appears to be difficult to get
this sea-weed in any other way. After
being washed and cleaned, it is said to
be delicious, and, being comparatively
scarce, as rare-tid-bit for great occa-
sions. The Chinese have tender spot
for delicacies of this kind In New
Zealand there is fungus named Her.
'seola polgtriclaa, which has taken the
taste of the Chinaman, and quite a
trade is springing up with it for China.
No less than four hundred tons has
been sent to the Celestia1s in one year,
according TO q recent Government re-
port, the value OF which is given at
one hundred thousand dollars. Wom-
en- and children collect the fungus, for
which, when dried, they get about
twenty cents a pound It is sent from
New Zealand to San Francisco, and
from there is shipped to China.-M. z.

difficult task held protracted session at

the Rio Grande division bondholders
were heard, and the matters appertaining
10 reorganization were considered. No con-
clusion was reached and none was expected
at one session, as the interest Of the dif-
ierent mortgages are conflicting and IL
will be found a delicate piece Of work to
harmonic these interests. Witha better
understanding, however, which can only
be obtained through conferences and u
FREQ interchange Of views on the wants OF

fore. The tone is more hopeful with

having, as usual, put up the money to
build another railroad, thereby securing

ing aud present the claims OF little
town and section Of the country that
has since its settlement contributed its
full share to the upbuilding of your city
to its present magnificent proportions.
We trust that your enterprising people
will see the Importance and feasibil-
lily of q route to the Territory
via the beautiful and fertile valley
OF the west fork, ut least as far north as
Aurora, before crossing the Fort Worth
& Denver City railway, and we feel con-
6dent that the Egypt Of Texas, lying west
of this place, populous with thrifty, en-
ergetlc husbsndmen, producing annually
hundreds of carloads of corn, thousands
of bales Of cotton, besides its wheat, oats,
fruits, vegetables, poultry, etc, much OF
which now finds its way to Weatherford
aud other markets, ought to claim the
attention of any company contemplating
an extension north from your city
