SNAIL EATING.
[From The SPECTATOR

ltTom Inc SPECTATOR
We shall never, in all likelihood,
grow to share the French taste for the
edible snail, though the big escargot is
common enough in many parts of Eng
land, where tradition says they were
introduced by the Romans, and still
live on round the sites of their villas.
The escargot is really at it's 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, during which time, like
the souls hung up to air in Hades.
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 we'll soaked in salt and
water, then returned to the shell,
which is stopped with parsley butter
and laid to simmer in a hot dish over
the fire. An enthusiast 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 them
selves 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 in both 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 WEST INDIA LAND CRAB.

lFTOm- GOOQ WOfQS.
The males begin their march several
days earlier than the females, who
form the main body of this exodus,
their battalions extending for a mile
and a half in length, with a breadth
Iof forty or fifty PAGES. So closely do
they march together that the noise of
their shelly integuments as they jostle
leach other is said to resemble the rat
ting Of the armor of a regiment of
lcuirassiers. Should the rain cease and
sunny weather supervene before they
reach the sea, they are forced to halt
perhaps for several days-otherwise
their supply of moisture would be ex-
hausted and their respiratory organs
thrown out of order.
These difficulties overcome. and the
ocean reached at length, they precipi-
tate themselves into the welcome ele-
ment and soak. Then they betake
themselves to holes on the shore and
rest. The next item on their pro-
gramme is an all-important one-the
females again enter the sea and deposit
their. eggs. This accomplished, the
whole army falls in again and marches
back to the mountains, but not with
the vigorous bearing and intrepid
marching that characterized its sea-
ward progress. The crabs are now
worn and weak, their flesh poor and
worthless, as food for their human
enemies. Their return is like that of
a defeated arr1y-spiritless and pro-
tracted.
Their old haunts reached, they begin
at once to feed and pick up strength
and substance, so that by July or
August they have accumulated a fair
lstore of fat. and can then afford to GO
Unto hiding for a time, while they get
| rid Of their old shells and develop new
and more roomy ones. AS a prelimi-
nary step, they collect a quantity OF
dry grass and leaves with which tc
| furnish their burrows and close UP the
entrance after they have retired within
At this period their enemy, the negro,
knowing them to be then at their best,
digs many of them out of their bur-
rows and sups royalty upon them.

refreshment and inspiration also in the

and endowed him with faculties to ap-
preciate, enjoy and command the rest
Of creation The result was that man
Immediately began a creation of his
