HOW CAvlARE is MADE.
The Roe Of tho Sturgeon rs 1t Il Pre-
pared for Market.

The Roe of tho Sturgeon rs 1t Il Pre-
pared for Market.
The Allgemeine Sport Zeitung, in an
article on Caviare, says: This delicacy
has only become generally known in
the last sixty or eighty years, but dur
ing that time it has acquired distin-
guished place in the estimation of every
gourmet. Every one is aware that
caviare is the sailed roe OF the sturgeon,
a fish which is caught in great numbers
off the south coast of Russia Tho
large grained caviare, made from the
roe of the largest species of that fish, is
considered the best.
''Some Of the surgeons weigh as
much as three thousand pounds, meas
ure from eighteen to twenty-seven
feet in length and yield a roe weighing
eight hundred pounds. The fish should
be caught some months before spawn
ing time, while the roe is hard and light
gray in color. AS it gets softer and
darker it becomes less and less suitable
for preparing caviare; and when it is
quite ripe it is completely useless for
the purpose. The process is simple
one. The roes, cut into large pieces,
are put into horse-hair or metal sieve,
the coarseness of which is regulated by
the coarseness of the roe. which is then
rubbed carefully through, so that it
falls out as uninjured as possible, while
the skin attached to il remains in the
sieve.
1.-The finer sort of caviare is rubbed
into an empty dish; it is then strewn
with dry, fnely-powdered salt; the
whole mass is then well stirred with a
wooden fork and Immediately put up in
little wooden barrels, ready for export.
The inferior sorts are rubbed Through
the sieve into strong brine, where they
are allowed 20 remain untouched until
thoroughly sailed through: the brine is
then pressed out and the caviare packed
tightly in cases. The freshcr and more
hghtly-salted caviare is the better. In
1926 caviare to the worth of twcLty lone
thousand pounds sterling was exported
from the Caspian sea; since then the
amount annually exported, and espe-
cially its value (for the price Is now
much higher than it used to bel, have
greatly increased.

cross was made of wood, slid to the
ground, amid loud cheers from the
crowd, and pushed my way back to my

wanted TO bid for the cross came up TO
me.
Tell me, young man." said he, lis
