RUSSIAN CAvI,RE INDUSTRY.
The DeIlcacy Il Made in New Jersey,
Not Russia.
CINE Philadclphia Record)

cine fhllddclpn RecOrd)
Much Of the so-callcd Russian ca
Ware which proves such an expensive
dainty during the winter season, is pre-
pared al little fishing hamlet down
at Bay Side. y. J. The huge fish which
supply this dainty, the sturgeon. are now
being caught In quantities at Bay SIDE,
and while other parts OF the fish are pro-
ntable TO q certain extent-the skin being
converted into oil and the steaks cut and
marketed-the preparation OF the caviare
Is the principal industry az this s-4son.
This is the roe of the fish, and one who
has been accustomed 10 the roe Of the
shad and other small fish can scarcely
realize that this queer substance serves
the same purpose.
When the immense fish are takc-
from the boats tney are drawn up with
derricks and thrown upon the wharf
and as many Of them are larger than a
man It may well be supposed that this
is an interesting process. After the
boats are unloaded and it takes but few
fish TO load a boat very heavily. and
the h0rny-Lided monsters are lying on
the wharf. the fishermen commence the
butchering. which is very different from
The cleaning of small fish y shad
for instance, IS simply scaled and cut
open with a sharp knife and the small
pink roe is carefully removed to keep
from breaking the dainty. which is usual
IL considered the choicest part Of the
fish. In this case a sharp Ratchet or axe
is taken instead Of a knife. and tie
cleaning process is decidedly a butcher
ing. Grasping the axe with both hands.
the fisherman cuts of the huge head with
a few quick strokes: then with a long,
sharp butcher knife the thick horny skin
is removed. and the sturgeon is cut
open its entire length. care being taken
that the strokes are not deep enough
TO cut into the roe.
When the sides of the fish are laid
open these large roe are exposed 10 view,
and. instead Of the toOthsOnle-lOOking
morsel found i'm other fish the roe of the
sturgeon consists Of great bucketfuls of
a black substance-each separate egg
comprised IN this black mass resembles
very closely coarse black shot, as round
and plumb as a small green pea. and
they are CLASSY. as though freshly var
nished. These become somewhat shriv-
elled when packed and ready FOR ship
ping. and lose much Of their glossy APP
pearance. but still retain their dark color,
and. in other respects, look much the
same when brought TO our tables as
when first taken from the fish.

ABOUT THE SPOON.
The Fork Has Taken It's Place wherever
Possible.

The spoon is time-honored utensl,
but of late seems to be growing in dis
favor except in its very proper kingdom
Of liquids. Perhaps its aristocratic
standing has been little injured by
the mushroom crop of inartistic SOU
Nenir spoons, which are supposed by
dealers to be the great incentive to
travel. To eat with spoon anything
that can be eaten with a fork is dis
tasteful to those who are sensitive to
the niceties of life. Besides, it gives
/ an air of elegance to ones table man
ners, and it is at the table that one ex-
hibits most uncOnsciously ones breed
ing or the lack of it, says writer in
Illustrated American. 1t is a posi-
tive embarrassment to be given a spoon
for eating some dish which one is accus-
toned to eating with fork. If spoons
and forks be laid for dessert-the spoon
TO be invariably of dessert size-there
can be no opportunity for embarrass-
ment.
While on the subject of spoons let us
plead for small ones for eggs served
a la coque. Walters at hotels have a
reprehensible way of bringing ones
eggs broken into the bottom of tall
glass or egg cup, tumbled together in
an unappetizing fashion, all daintiness
and beauty gone. Into this unattract-
i've substance one is expected to throw
salt, pepper, paprika, butter and any
other condiments, and to eat voracious-
ly. Contrast this with the perfect ova,
form of an unbroken egg, stood upright
in holder which cenceals but-iittle of
its symmetry, the shell pale biscuit
color, and dull with unglossed fresh
ness. The eater cracks off delicately
the apex of the oval with a small spoon,
gold bowled lest the sulphur mar its
color on the moment. Milk white and
criole yellow are the contents thus dis
covered, which are delicately sprinkled
with salt and pepper and eaten little by
little from the natural cup which holds
them. This is the only way to eat a
soft-boiled eggs.-Philadclph Press.

THE SENTIMENTAL DRUMMER.
And the Sweet Little Maiden He let on
the Train.

the Train.
She was pretty, sweet looking girl.
and she took seat Just in frbnt OF
Colby, in the parlor car. He had seen
her upon the platform of the station be-
fore she got aboard. A young man had
held her hand in his and looked sadly
into her eyes. Colby thought they
might perhaps be lovers. He Travelled a
great deal and he generally contrived to
strike up an acquaintanceship With per-
sons to whom he took fancy, no mat
ter what the circumstances happened to
be. a.
The girl had not been upon the train
for an hour or more, when Colby picked
up a newspaper that somebody had left
lying near her seat.
May | look at it2" he asked.
She said it didn't belong to her, but
the ice was broken, and they were soon
chatting quite familiarly.
She had never travelled alone before
she said, and that was her future nus
band whom she had left at the station
She had been visiting his parents, who
were the wealthiest people in the little
town back there, and very proud. She
was an orphan. She lived with her aunt
and Charles people rather looked dcwn
upon her because she did not have
money.
Colby felt indignant at theHa, q told
her that if Charlie didn't tee III tilssI
that a good, sweet girl was worth more
than all the riches in the world, he was
no true man.
Colby hattered himself that he was
too much a man of the world to be eas.
, lily worried over the affairs of other peo-
pie, but this girls frankness touched
him, and he felt jealous pang when he
thought of Charles good fortune, and
lis own loneliness. He had often said
that he would never marry while he
/ was on the road, and ne never felt Just
like settling down, anyway. But this
sweet, confiding creature sent new
feeling through him. He told himself
that if she would be likely to prefer him
to Charlie and his uninviting parents
he would ask her to be his little wife
and they would have modest home
somewhere, and he would be willing tC
give up the world and its allurements
forever. What these fancies might
have led him to can never be known
for the sweet little maiden suddenly
began gathering up her belongings. as
they neared a station which the conduc-
tor announced as "Brmooth."
yes" she said to Colby, "here is
where l get off. Some day 7 hope we
may meet again. You have made my
ride very pleasant one, and it made
me so happy to confide in YOU"
He tried to tell her how she had
changed the current Of his thoughts OF
life, but before he had finished she was
upon the platform waving him an adieu
rs the train pulled away.
Half an hour later Colby came out Of
dreamland to feel for his watch. II
wasn't in his pocket, and while hunt
ing for it he became aware of the fact
that his wallet, which contained several
hundred dollars, was gone, too.
Then he sat and scratched his head
for long time, and finally he decided
that he would never believe in appear
