ed a movement to have the division
line between Montana and Idaho,

Bow Ii Wing company, acting as In
terpreter of the mysteries of the feast.
The banquet room was decorated
seated at the table, on stools, were the
curious guests
"And gazed around them from left to right
With the prophetic eye of appetite"
The first course of the banquet con-
sisted of nuts, fruits and preserves or
what, in our western dialect, is called
dessert. 1t is served to create an appe-
tite for the more substantial parts of
the feast. The most interesting feature
of this course was the "lychee nut" the
national fruit of China. Lychee trees
are planted along the public highways
of China and the wayfarer is permit
ted to eat as many nuts as he likes, but
if he is found to stow away even
single one, in the folds of his dress, he
is arrested and bastinadoed, some
judges going so far as to inflict the
death penalty. The relation of this
fact added to the flavor of the nuts and
made the mastication of deiicately pre-
pared watermelon seeds pure delight;
the bliss of the occasion being marred
only by an occasional thought of how
we were to manage our chopsticks
when the second course, fowl in the
nest" should be placed on the table.
For his part, the writer took the matter
somewhat philosophically for if fin
gers were made before forks, and hands
before knives" undoubtedly both also
existed before chopsticks were invented.
Fowl in the Nest" is one of the most
highly-prized Chinese dishes. 1t con-
sists of the breasts and legs of squads,
the breasts of spring chickens, bean
sprouts and Chinese mushrooms. all

The rind is securely closed, and the
whole thing boiled until it looks like
u roll of white pastry. The delicacy
and toothsomeness of the dish are sim
ply indescribable.

ture, rolled in eggs and roasted. and

Some Plain Facts.

Grave errors, injustice, wrongs Of
greater or less degree, arise from lack
Of knowledge of the truth, and more
frequently from deception.
The most infamous case on record
of deception and injustice is the at
tempt to demonetize silver as money
of final redemption in the United
States.
There is no learned judges skilled
lawyer, or court of justice that is
capable of reconciling the effort with
the constitutional laws that govern
the issue Of money in this country.
The people have been deceived,
officials in power, chosen to admins
ter justice under the laws, have
ignored their sworn duty, and given
aid to the scheme that has paralyzed
industry, reduced property values
one-half, and beggared millions.
There is no authority of law, either
specific or by inference, by which
gold alone is made the only money
with which to discharge debts, either
public or private. The effort to
make it so is unconstitutional and
national calamity.
Plain and ample information, facts,
and truth, concerning this almost sue
cessful scheme to corner the wealth
of the people, is now being printed
in the Cincinnati Enquirer, a news
paper which the combined power Of
money has failed to muzzle or buy.

taste were entrusted with the conduct
of affairs.
An ill-cooked meal breeds dyspepsia
and discontent; q perfectly-arranged
dinner, served by trained walters, and
shared by congenial friends, adds hap
piness to contentment.
The man Who familiarizes his con-
temporaries with u new dish, or with an
entirely new system of cookery, is a
public benefactor. In a way he is a
hero; because he braves unknown dan
gers. Swift wittily observes that ''he
was bold man who first eat AN oyster"
Unfortunately the name of this in
trcpid gentleman has been lost to pos
| terity, or countless monuments would
now pay elegant tribute to his men,
ory. His daring introduced to the hui
man family delicacy priced in every
nook and corner of the globe, and estab-
lished an industry which supports thou
sands of industrious fishermen.
AS nation, the people of the United
States have been slow in emancipating
themselves from the bondage of culi-
nary tradition. In the towns and
country districts of New England the
natives still cling to the plain and often
unwholesome food of their ancestors.
In large cities. however, where men of
wealth congregate, provincialism and
LEGAL prejudices cannot thrive long;
and, in cookery as well as other things,
only the very best is countenanced.
To Col. Robert Mitchell Floyd, of
Jersey City, modest gentleman who
has just been appointed commissioner
from New Jersey to next years trans
Mississippi exposition at Omaha, Neb.,
belongs the credit of having initiated
New York society into the mysteries
and pleasures of Chinese cookery. Col.
Floyd has been a great traveller, and an
observing one. Having made gastron-
omy study in early life, he was in a
position to give dispassionate consid-
Grafton to the national dishes of every
country he visited. In the course of
his wanderings he discovered scores of
compositions which pleased the palate
and soothed the stomach, but not until
this year did he find culinary perfection

THE MENU TRANSLATED.

known to western chefs, and served
with garniture of Chinese parsley, a
vegetable bearing no resemblance what
ever to our herb of that name. Stuffed
chicken wings" were, to my mind, the
piece de resistance of the banquet, al
though the mystery of stufing is mys-
terry still. The seventh, or middle,
course was "bird's nest SOUP" dish
famous the world over and as highly
priced at Paris as at Canton. Chicken
broth, to which is added chopped ham,
forms the basis of this delicacy; the
"bird's nest" gelatinous secretion
from seq herbs gathered by birds and
deposited in their nests along rocky
ocean cliffs, being added to the broth
shortly before it is served. The eighth
course, broiled pigeon, was more like
home cooking than anything else on the
menu, although more delicately sea-
soned. Boiled abalones, stuffed with
pork, was genuine surprise. They
are dried shell fish which require three
days boiling before being ready for
the table. Then, however, they are not
only delicate but easily digested. The
tenth course consisted of "chop suey,"
the national dish of China, stew of
beef, chicken or pork, with bean
sprouts, mushrooms, water-lily roots,
sprouted grain, the whole highly fla
vored with aromatic and pungent
herbs. A sweet soup, called "white
nest BROTH" finished the substantial
part OF the banquet, which was rounded
off by water-lily tea, an aromatic
Oolong of delicate flavor, served in ar
tistic little cups.
| The liquid refreshments consisted of
white rice wine, wine of the roots and
rose wines, the latter q white spirit dis
titled from apricots and rose leaves.
1t was served in tiny glass bowls, the
size of thimble, and produced g most
pleasant effect on the brain. The other
wines were served in diminutive China
bowls. not much larger than the rose
wine glasses.
Between the courses the guests left
the table and strolled around the room,
smoked cigars or cigarettes, or looked
out upon Mott ano Pell streets, where
all Chinatown seemed assembled TO
catch a glimpse of the Caucasian epi-
cures.
At the close of the banquet the guests
were as enthusiastic about Chinese
cooking as Col. Floyd himself. They
had partaken of perfect meal, cooked
In @ perfect way, served in q perfect
manners but their enthusiasm was still
more intense at their next meeting
when. on comparing notes. they found
that good digestion had waited on ap-
petite, and health on both"
