CHINESE GASTRONOMY.
They Eat Live Shrimps-The Older the
Eggs Are the Better They Are Liked.

The ambitious housekeeper has moth
ing to learn, apparently, in the gentle
art of cookery from the Chinese, save
one good principle and the theory Of
boiling rice, says the Cincinnati Com
mercial-GaZette The Chinese appetite,
so far as their cookery books have
been investigated, leans too far toward
flesh and fruits that are an abomina-
ton to the stomach Of a westerner. and
what they dredge out of the sea in the
way of dainty tidbits we would pop
into the garbage can with shivers Of
disgust. Their ways, as well, of APP
preaching some species of food an
American regards as little short of can
nibalistic. For example shrimp, that

which renders the creature Historically
active With an unerring thumb and
forefinger the Chinese diner out plucks
forth the struggling fish, nips off the
tail at one bite, and casts the useless
head behind him. Shocking as it may
seem to the moral New York house
keeper the older the egg in China the
more perfect from an epicurean stand
point does IT become, for no Chinese
who has a right regard for his palate
eats fresh one or a boiled egg. Taken
fresh, eggs are set to soak, after hav-
ing been washed in a tub of aromatic
water. After a time they are removed,
and the water used in mixing paste
of lime and salt, in which the eggs are
packed in jars. These they hermetic-

fit for eating. Those left packed i'm the

when opened are found to have

odorless The chief care Of all Chinese
is to eat nothing cold; warm or hot
food they consume in abundance, but
rightly, they maintain that cold food
lowers the temperature of the stomach
beyond the point where digestion can
continue, and so the whole health of
the body is endangered.

The back part of the skirt is covered
with straw-colored tulle, cut at inter
walls with straw-colored satin, on the
cross.
Then there is a dress for a garden
party. This dress is of white pique,
with brocaded pattern of green and
black, giving the effect Of pompadour
material. The skirt is plain. The body
is in three plaits behind. In front one
large plat i'm the middle. showing
shot taffeta flounce, accordion plated
on each side. The sleeves are of the
same taffeta plated. cut in the middle
by a double crest of accordion taffeta
plated.

cape of crepon, not coming below the

and wide godets over the shoulders. 1t
is trimmed all around with a small
ruche of shot taffeta. In front it forms
a sort of draped shawl, stopping at the
waist, where IL is confined by large
satin bow. The neck is trimmed with
shot taffeta, with a large white satin
bow behind.

Turning to less important things, ii
may be mentioned that this young
woman and this young man are very

suggested over a year ago, but the
fond pair have been compelled to wait
until time could prove the fidelity and
strength of an eternal attachment, as
they say in old fashioned story books.

The miners. on reopening the old
shaft. came upon upwards of 10 bodies
of the former workers, lying where
they had been overcome with foul gas
four centuries back. The corpses were
as IL life had left them yesterday, quite
fresh looking. and not decayed in any
way on an attempt being made to
move them outside for burial they
crumbled away. leaving nothing but
a pile Of dust and the remnants of the

at Ienox Then she is entertained, too
at Wyndhurst, the home of John
Sloane, her multi-millionaire uncle. In
addition to that. another uncle of Miss
Sloane's, Cornelius Vanderbilt, has
leased the Bacon cottage at Lenox.
Then Mr.. and Mrs. James Abercrombie
Burden, parents OF the groom. and mill
lionaires both. have taken the fine Ed
dy cottage for the season, and their
affairs in honor of the approaching
event are beyond description. Miss
Sloane herself drives out daily in her
famous four-in-hand drag. The fair
girl is an expert with the whip, in ad-
dition TO being an expert in archery
and a devotee of all outdoor sports.
Miss Sloane much resembles her
mother, who is a member of the famed
Morris family of Baltimore. one Of
the married sisters of this lady is Mrs.
Richard Irwin, who resides here, and
another who lives in Paris is Mrs. Girls
void Gray, who made her home in New
York prior to her widowhood. Mrs.
Burden is an aunt of Mrs. Frederick
Gerhard. Her son, the groom, is still
a student.

The engagement of Miss Sloane to
James a. Burden, Jr., was announced
last February. The wedding is to take
place at LenoX. Mass. The affair VIII

church of which Rev. DIR. William
Grosvenor is so proud, and that clergy
man will ofIiciate.
But before entering into that part of
the matter, il is well to observe that
this is to be strictly Vanderbilt occa-
sion. Miss Sloane, as has been re-
marked time and again, is the second
of the grandchildren of the late w. ii.
Vanderbilt to wed. The young lady is
the daughter of William ID. Sloane,
who married a daughter of the late
millionaire and got $l5,o0O,000 by the
performance. Mr.. Sloane himself is
worth many millions in his own right,
however. This is the daughters third

A HARD YEAR FOR BIRDS.
The Cold Waves I'm the south Destroyed
Great Number.

People who live on the city pave
ments do not know the pathetic loss
which the New England and Middle
states. and probably the Western
states. are just now suffering from the
absent notes of early spring birds.
When that February cold wave went
South and sent the thermometer in
Georgia down to 10 degrees below
freezing-the lowest record for cold
that state has any account of-the
birds, southern and northern, were
found dead in the various door yards
and fields there in large numbers. one
gentleman from Georgia informs US
that he discovered a great many dead
mocking birds near his house, and also
many dead orioles. The loss of the
Florida orange orchards, with the or
angeS ready for market, though Ii
amounts to many millions of dollars,
can some time be repaired, but the loss
of the birds will be felt through the
whole northern country, and is one
which II will take many years, per-
haps, to make good.
Up the Hudson the blue birds note is
in many places silent or infrequent;
and the song sparrow and the phoebe,
so far as we have noticed, are in many
places. and in more than one county,
rarely to be heard-so that March and
April saw the door yard and the field
and the orchard voiceless to an I'M
wonted degree.
Just as we felt well assured of this
unwonted fact, a gentleman of Spring
field, Mass, who is himself a well
known writer on the phases Of nature,
informs us that he has missed the blue
birds and many other of the feathered
early corners i'm that neighborhood.
Now il is well known that the Con-
necticut river valley is a favorite
haunt of all our common birds. and
around Springfield not less than from
II to 20 species of birds that are far
northern or far southern can some
times be found.
+ To suffer from a depOpulation OF
these feathered tribes is not only seri-
Gus and sad. but il is very uncommon,
indeed. What may happen when the
May contingent is looked for, which
includes the swallows, orioles. hum
ming birds, the various warblers and
many others, il is too early as we write
to determine. Let us hope that the
tragedy of Killingworth, which gave
Longfellow the theme of one of his
most touching and beautiful poems,
may not be further repeated. But
there is some reason to fear IL may be,
as these later migrants are birds of
very tender habits. If the bobolink
with his breezy fountain of song,
should also be missed, the clover fields
and meadows of June would indeed
suffer from the dumb transformation

II. NICK. Twombleys will complete the
Vanderbilt delegation. That is. of
course, excepting the Willie h. Wander
bits. Nobody knows exactly how the
Willie ks will be disposed of: They
have certainly asked him, and he was
supposed TO go with his daughter Con-
suelo. but that young lady will not go
without her mamma, and her mamma
was not asked. That, at least, is the
way the gossips put IL. Little Harold
s. Vanderbilt is to be page, and VIII
lie X, jr., is to be there at any rate.
But If Mrs. AIva Vanderbilt were there
and happened to meet Mr.. Willie, IL
would be embarrassing one is curious
to know how it will be settled, but one
hates to ask.
However, leaving the Vanderbilt con-
tingent. and taking look at the 9TH
ers, there will be Mr.. and Mrs. Orme
Wilson, Mr.. and Mrs. John Jacob AS
tor, Mr.. Moses Taylor. a young fellow
who is worth 10000. 900 and is expected
to marry into the Vanderbilt family
one of these days; Robert Goelet
worth S25. 900 .000), Ogden Goelet, chum
of the Prince of Wales; Mr.. and Mrs.
Elbridge Gerry, Eugene Higgins-but
there is no use stringing along the
names of a lot of interesting pluto

that the minister is interesting. Then

Miss Sloane's trousseau is simply
revelation. There is everything in 1t
that ever was thought of in connection
with a. trousseau. 1t costs, including
the pearl trimmings, about $4,000. The
evening dress is of straw-colored satin,
trimmed at the bottom of the skirt
with tulle bordered with satin forming
small butterfly bows very close to-
gether. The body is covered with tulle
edged with satin and trimmed before
and behind with two tulle braces en-
broidered with black spangles and
crystal pearls. On the right shoulder

All in all. ii will be the wedding of
the year. We Americans may feel
proud of the fact that the wedding of
the year is to be so strictly American
