hanging with unheard-of audacity
the waters which surrounded it on all
r;des. we gazed on the most wonderful
prospect in the world, and reposed our
selves while enjoying this enchanting
scene, during which the ships were con-
tinually entering the port, passing under
our very feet. 1t was in this enchanted
palace that the sea urchins were served up
by the traditional bonilla baise, which
contributed to my admiration OF the
humble sea urchin of the Mediterranean.
The author does not know whether 1T was
the Provencal dish, the savory bonilia
baise, or the marvellous view which ne en-
joyed from the glass house he was IN, but
IL left a lasting and most pleasing recol-
ton that the sea egg Is most delicious
morsei.
The Indians of Puget sound have vari-
Gus methods of taking the sea eggs, OF
which there are two edible varieties, one
the e. escuientus, a short spined urchin, and
the other the long purple spined variety.
These are named by DIR. Dawson (geologi-
cal survey of Canada, Queen Charlotte
islands), Euryechinus chloT0csntr0lns The
small spined greenish. variety, very
plentiful, and the Loxechinus purpuratus
large purple spined, some over SIX inches
when in season, August and September
being considered the best months.
The sea urchins are very plenty at Cape
Flattery, and are greedily eaten by the
Makah Indians, who call the large purple
variety loot sup, and the small green kind
kodts-kdppr. They are taken at low toe
by hand nets, or spears, or by means OF
stems OF kelp, which are cut at the root
and laid fiat on the bottom OF the bay.
The echin@ go on those PROSTATE stems TO
feed, and at low tide the Indian pulls up
the kelp, which is covered with the sea
eggs. In this manner / have seen an In
dian load his canoe at one TIDE
One reason, and the principal one why
these delicious molusks are not more used,
IN that the spines on them make them dis
agreeable to handle. But the Indian
smashes the shell with his fish club and
scoops out the meat. The shell can be
readily cut with a stout pair of scissors
and the contents emptied into a saucer.
The taste resembles that OF the crab or
lobster. but far more delicate.
/ resided at Neah bay on the Indian res
ervation from 1862 to 1866, with the late
Henry A. Webster himself connoisseur
and Judge of good eating, and many de-
licions meal we made of sea eggs cooked
in various ways, and the boring clam,
paraphola, mscalled crock OYSTERS"
which abound on the reef at Baa-
dab point. The rock clans were either
fried in crumbs or batter, or made into
chowder. The sea eggs were eaten raw, or
boiled, or fried. I prefer them raw, but
any way they are delicious eating, and
were they better known would be con-
sidered by epicures, as Figuier describes
them, ''as food mt for the gods.''
Many people think that sea eggs are only
fit for Indians to eat, but / notice that
anything an Indian can eat with an evil
dent relish, will not poison a white man.
and sea eggs will add an agreeable variety
to the menu of a camping party on the
beach. JAMES &. SWAN.

Matthew Arnold, in one OF his poems, says our
moral world is not suniit. it is only starfiE.
STAY in your church and love IL, but do not
care anything about anything whatever except
the power OF Christ to lead you along the best
path through your world.
There is nothing to prevent men from acting
foolishly and even wickedly around the name
OF Christ. Christ was too great to be seen at
once by any one age. Faith in Christ, in order
to be valuable, must be not merely partlai1ty
for His person as compared with that OF Jupiter
or Saturn or Minerva. Il must go beyond this
Kind OF espousai and be deep attachment TO
all those moral principles which compose the
remarkable parsonage. II ought to be thought
a form OF human ehildishness to separate
Christ from His principles and to love Him
without much as studying His character.
The only faith of any great value is that which
gathers up in its admiration and worship not
the name OF Jesus only, but that over which HIS
name was only convenience of Identification
namely, His ethics.
An ethical religion Ia gradually dsplacing the
religion OF simple belief. 1t IL one OF the won
ders of the intellectual world that within its
confines, so full of genius, Christianity could
have run so long upon the one wheel OF belief
When Jesus OF Nazareth was only stranger
In the world, and was filing the public mind
with new ideas and new projects. the first ques-
ton to be asked each person OF that day was:
"Do you believe in this new leader? Must
We take up with the new, or must we cling TO
the oldp' The heart was TO choose between
two systems-the Christian and the pagan-and
thus came the question: Which do you be-
lieye? 1t was not otherwise when Calico
Set up new theory OF the sun and the
planets. The situation called for the
question:: Which do you believe, that
the earth stands still or that il moves?
Thus the long reign OF paganism and the new
claims of Jesus made the idea OF personal be-
lief assume marked preeninence, and out OF
their assumed merit OF preference came wars
and great wrongs at variance, in each detail
with the teachings of Nazareth.
As no thought can transcend the idea OF q
God, and no inearnate picture chn transcend
the historic image OF Jesus, so the ethics which
day 10y day unveils itself around these two
great terms possesses beauty which should
guide like star, and power which should
carry humanity along as q strong mother can
carry the infant on her heart. Ever yours,

from q photograph secured in Rome by the

States.

church, but more particularly those who
had done it the noblest service IN America.
The suggestion brings up in the minds of
churchmen such names as that of De Smet,
the martyr priest, and Fathers Joques and
Segura, who also gave their lives for their
faith in the early days of the church Fa-
Their Badin, the first priest ordained IN the
United States; Father Mazzuchielli, the
organizer of the Dominicans in this coun-
try. and long line of others whose men,
cries are regarded with yeneration. There
is also a brilliant list deserving of a like
honor, to be found among those who have
been distinguished in the service of
the church since the formation of
the hierarchy in 1859, including
such notable names as that of John Car
roll, the first bishop; the venerable Bishop
Flaget, of Bardstown; the learned Ken
drIck, the pioneer Indian teacher Bishop
Baraga; Cardinal McCloskey, Cardinal
oIbbons and others illustrious in the an
mails of Catholic literature There are lay
men, too, for whom this great honor
might also be reserved The University
is already rich with works of art in mar
bic and on canvas. Upon the walls of the
great parlor are portraits OF Pope Leo
Kill, by Ugolini, of Rome, and of Bishop
Carroll and George Washington, by the
famous painter Gregory, of Notre Dame
university, besides bust of st. Thomas,
THE Angel of the Schools" by Guglielmi,
and several others of rare merit. To these
will be added as the years pass other paint
ings and statues, after the manner of the
great collections in the leading church
edifices of Europe.
The place assigned to the statue in the
prayer-room of the university is merely q
temporary one 1t will ultimately be sta
toned in commanding niche in the new
building. which is to be erected near the
Theological building. 1t is expected that
the unwilling ceremonial will be most
