Caviare is consumed in vast quanti-
ties all over the Russian empire. 1t is
also sem to Italy, Germany. France and
England and is largely eaten in this
country. Caviare is a shining brown
substance in little globules, looking ex-
actly like little brambleberries. 1t is
obtained from sturgeon in March by
millions on their spawning beds in the
mouth Of the Danube, the Dne!per, the
Don and the Volga rivers, where both
nets and hooks are used to capture the
fish. After the membrane of the roe
has been removed the grains are wash

Merrymaking OF IA Frisco Neighborhood
Oyr Death OF u Ghost.


Two hundred residents and property
owners OF the Sunset district partici-
pated in a novel entertainment the
other evening. For some time past a
voracious goat belonging to Philip Diez
has been a constant source OF annoy
ance To its owners neighbors on ac-
count of its depredations in their yards
and it's beligerency when disturbed on
these occasions. All sorts of schemes
were devised and executed for the pur-
pose OF circumventing this unwelcome
visitor. but with persistence worthy OF
a better cause the goat overcame all
obstacles, overruled all objections and
continued to show an extremely bCli
front to all who sought to discourage
his raids. Finally, in desperation, a
committee OF his victims called upon
the goats wne and demanded salts
faction. Recognizing hat his goat was
in~corrigible and anxious to conciliate
his angry n%eighbors. Dlez consented to
sacrifice the animal to the public good
and suggested that his visitors help
him to eat the carcass OF the brute.
This idea was accepted with avidity
and the committeemen left, highly elat-
cd over the success OF their mission.
On talking the matter over with their
friends, however, other victims of the
goats idiosyncrasies expressed a desire
to attend the o%bsequles and the idea
suggested by Diez was finally adopted
as the keynote for a public demOnslra-
ton. A committee Of arrangements
was accordingly appointed, a formal
program drawn up and some 200 invi-
tations were issued. The affair took
the form of a banquet at Park View
hotel, followed by an entertainment.
The goats meat had the distinction Of
being served on a separate table. p.

as POSTMASTER in recognition of his
generosity in sacrificing his pet.-San

her fair face and fabulous wealth. Each
day upon the Countess's table appeared
a lovely bouquet. Who the giver was
no one knew.
At last the fair lady discovered her
footman in the act of kissing her por-
trait. On demanding an explanation
she learned that her handsome servant,
with a temperament as ardent as her
own. had long loved her In secret.
Hopeless of ever having his love recip-
rocated, he had been pouring out his
soul to her for years.
Here was devotion not found in any
OF her high-born suitors, and, by the
laws OF love, he stood before her her
equal. An elopement and wedding
soon followed, and the Countess raised
her husband in the eyes of the world.

Some Famous Books.
The skin of William Corder, the
murderer of Maria Martin, was used
for the binding of a book containing a
biographical sketch of the murderer,
and this book with its grewsome bind
ing is TO he found in the library Of
Trinity college, Cambridge. Nj. Flam-
marion had in his possession a book
bound in the skin OF the woman he
loved in vain. The lovely countess,
whose white and cleaning shoulders
had stirred his admiration before her
death, b~cqueathed him the skin that
covered her form, upon which he had
gaZed with such pleasure. She also
left a letter desiring the astronomer
to use her skin to bind the wonderful
work in which he speaks so eloquently
of the glimmering world of stars, and
Flammarion did not hesitate to fulfil
the last wish of this most eccentric OF
women. Andre lie Roy had at one
time in his possession a volume bound
in the skin OF Delille, the poet. A
book entitled principles of Practical
Anatomy" written by Prof. Leidy OF
Jefferson Medical college. Philadelphia
was bound in human skin, and is now
