WILD BIRDS EGGS FOR FOOD.

Crows Eggs for Bismarck a Marketable
Commodity in Holland Egg Thieves.
Among the presents sent to Prince
Bismarck on his SD birthday were
100 crows eggs, "a luxury difficult to
procure early in the season" says the
Spectator. The eggs were probably
rocks eggs. not crows; but the fact
remains that eggs here only eaten by
plowboys are in Germany appreciated
by princes. Custom, which rules i'll
matters of eating more than in any
other department of life, has set very
narrow limits to the English idea of
what are, and what are not, edible
eggs. This must be mainly due to
fancy, for the taste of the eggs of most
birds is almost the same, though that
of very few, such as the plover and
the guinea fowl, is distinctly superior.
Much has been written as to the sale
of other birds eggs, gulls' guillemots'
and redshanks', for plovers' eggs.
They are good enough Of their kind,
but the difference can be recognized
when the shell is stripped off. Not
even those of the redshank approach
the plover's in favor.
In the markets in Holland all kinds
of large birds eggs appear for sale,
and are presumably intended to be
e-ten. Redshanks', greenshanks'
and godwits' are the commonest in
the market stalls of South Holland,
but one sees also the bright blue eggs
Of the heron and those of wild ducks.
Formerly a very large trade was done
in wild-fowl eggs with the shepherds
OF the Isle of Texel. The north part
of the ''Iazel'' las it is pronounced bv
the DUTCH is still called "eyer-land'
'egg-land' and it was from this
district that the supply was mainly
drawn. In Friesland, the Dutch Nor
folk, where meres, breads, heaths and
wild fowl abound, the sheldrakes' eggs
are one Of the minor sources of peck
money to the villagers. Sheldrake:
like to nest in burrow, in which the,
would normally lay one setting of egg
and then hatch them Off The Fries
landers provide ready-made burrows
from which a dozen nesting chamber
radiate These artificial nests ar
made in grass-covered sandhill,
loose turf being laid over each nestin
chamber, which is removed when til
egg is taken, aud then replaced. I'll
