Snail batting.

We shall never, in all likelihood,
grow to share the French taste for
edible snail, though the big eScargOt
is common enough in many parts of
England. where tradition says they
were introduced by the Romans, and
still live on round the sites of their
villas. The eScargOt is really at its
best when taken in the vineyards at
the end of March and the beginning
Of April. They live on the shoots OF
the vines, and during the winter
bury themselves in the ground, dur
ing which time, like the souls hung
up to air in hade', they are purged of
all gross humors before they return
to enjoy themselves in the Elysian
fields in spring.
Cooking the snails is not an easy
matter. They are drawn from the
shell, which is then carefully
scrubbed and washed. Their heads
are cut off, and they are well soaked
in salt and water, then returned to
the shell, which is stopped with
| parsley batter and laid to simmer in
a hot dish OvC the fire. An en-
thusiast sent the writer some dozens,
taken at the right season, from his
vineyard in Burgundy, with a few
bottles Of red and white wine
(COrtOn) made from the juice of the
grapes from the vines on which they
had fed, in order, as he said, that
"the snails when eaten might find
themselves en- pays de connaissance."
The combination was excellent, and,
though there may be two opinions
about the flavor of the escargOt,
there is no doubt that both in taste
and substance it is an edible unlike
any other known. The Wiltshire
people, especially the population Of
Swindon, eat the large garden snails
as a common dainty.-The Spectator.

depth of four feet beside the head of
Il remarkably well-preserved male
mummy. The pipe was undoubtedly
his property during life. How it was
used is a mystery, as the lips Of the
smoker and the hot ashes in the bowl
would come into close contact, and
his mouth would seemingly be
burned. 1t is evident that the pipe
had to be held in an upright position
while being used. The Navajo In.
dians, who once occupied the coun-
try where this pipe was found. are
unable to give any information con-
corning it, and know nothing of its
history or origin. This remarkable
specimen is now on exhibition in the
archa olOgical collection in the State
University of Utah.

Not Good for Kid Gloves.

In Paris elephant skins are tanned.
The process is the ordinary one ex-
cept that a very powerful extract of
tannin is used. When the giant skin
is taken from the vat it is nearly an
inch and three-quarters thick. The
tanned skin of the elephant, like
that Of the alligator. is used in the
making Of various fancy articles, and
brings a high price, a small elephant
leather valise costing $500 To $400,
and cigar cases and card cases not
less than $50 to $50.

Hard Times in Spain.

Great distress is prevalent among
the laboring classes of Spain. Many
hundreds of unemployed workingmen
are walking the streets Of Madrid,
Cadiz and other cities in the vain
search for work. One day recently
1000 men went in a body to the gov
ernment office in Madrid asking for
relief in the shape of work for them
selves and families. The government
was able to do but little for them.
Brigandage has greatly increased, and
its spread is attributed to the dis
tress among the rural population.

Curious Census LESSONS.

Slowly the public is getting some
ineligible IDEAS from the census
compilation OF four years ago. The
clerks have ut last figured out that
there were then Just 80, 973 home
families in the United States, which
means probably that there were that
many groups Of persons living tOgeth.
cr. OF these almost tiye%-cighths-
in exact figures, 4, 767~, l79-wcre on
farms and the remainder in cities.
1t thus appears that the copntr
and the city population grouped in
families is as five to three. Another
statement is that the number Of per-
son in a family is on an average less
than five, so that the persons form.
ing parts of the families are only
about t%wO-thirds of the total popula-
ton. The other third, or about 20
600, 600 persons, seem to be, there
fore. living independently of family
ties.
This is a rather curious showing.
One-third of the entire population
consists, presumably, Of boarders, or
of inmates of charitable and cor
rectiOnal institutions. AS our pau
perS and criminals are not more nu-
merOuS than those of other countries.
the natural inference is that the
habit of living in bOarding-houses or
hotels is far more prevalent than it
is anywhere else.
Another thing that is surpriS-
ing in these census figures Of
ours is. that we have fewer
houses in proportion to population
than the French have, for instance.
In the United States the average is
about five and a half persons to Il
house, while in France it is only four
and three quarters, and yet the lat
ter country is far 0 denscly popu-
lated than even our Oldest settled
States along the North Atlantic
coast.
The tendency is, however, toward
fewer inhabitants to Il house in this
country. The decrease has been en-
ceedingly slow but it has been fairl,
steady. In 1850 we had nearly six
persons to a house. so that there has
been IL reduction OF about half Il per-
son since then. On the principle Of
the fewer persons under the same
roof the higher the grade of ciyiliza-
ton, we are justified in congratulate
ing ourselves on this fact.
