oosTLIEsT sAusAeEs MADE.

Some Made in France that Only Capi-
talists Can Afford to Eat.
THE costliest of all sausages," said
a man familiar with the trade, sis Ly-
ons sausages, imported from France.
Lyons sausage sells in Paris at francs
and more a pound. Here it is sold at
80 cents to 81 a pound. Lyons sausage
is also produced in this country. That
made here is even finer than the import
ed, but sells here, however, for some
what less.
Lyons is rather a large sausage. 1t
is put up in the largest size hog castings
and it is made of beef and pork. The
meats used in making it are of the very
best, and they are prepared with the
greatest care. From the beef all the
sinews and veins are removed, and
there is left only the selected parts OF
the meat The beef is chopped very
fine, so fine as to make of 1t practically
paste. The pork used is from the
back fat of hogs. This is not chopped
fine, as the beef is, but is cut into ir-
regular shaped pieces which show In
the sausage when it is cut. The spices
used in the seasoning are, of course, Of
the choicest. The Lyons sausage is
hard smoked.
The art Of sausage-making has so
improved in this country that now, as
you can say without reservation, the
finest sausages produced in the world
are made in the United States. This is
true without exception. The Ameri-
can Lyons sausage, for example, is bet
ter than the imported. Some American
Lyons is exported to France and sold
there, and some of that thus exported
Is reimported and sold here as import
ed Lyons
Lyons sausage is served in the very
finest Of hotels and restaurants, and it
may be found on bills of fare, before
the soup. served as an appetizer. For
mat purpose it is very excellent.
FANCY that its increasing use in this
manner in New York In recent years
Is due in great measure to calls for It
from Russian visitors. The Russians

Their Use Ia the United States Ha.
Been Very Much Neglected.
"There Is one shellfish, the mussel
the use of which as an article Of food
seems to be totally neglected in the
United States" observed an English
man of several years residence In this
country to a Star reporter recently. "In
fact it is so seldom employed that ii
may be said to be practically unknown
on this side of the Atlantic. 1t is rare
ly seen in your markets, and near the
salt water bays and estuaries In which
1t is taken it is used, l am told, as a
manure for certain crops. This lack
of recognition of mussels as an epicu-
rian dellcacy probably arises from the
popular superstition among Americans
that this shellfsh possesses poisonous
qualities. Such an impression is, how
ever, rather absurd, for in England
they are largely consumed by the poor
and middle class people. and If they
contained any injurious properties their
use would be promptly prohibited
1T is well known that some persons
are unable to eat of particular sorts OF
shell fsh-to some oysters, clans or lob
sters are more or less poisonous, but
mussels are only 'noxious' to the great
er number for the reason that they de-
teriorate more rapidly when removed
from the water than any other species.
There are mussel beds within a radius
of ten miles of New York and other east
ern cities of sufficient capacity to sup
ply millions of people with a clean and
nutritious article of food; one that
would lessen to large degree the ex-
haustive demands made upon the clam,
oyster and lobster fisheries.
'To prepare mussels for the table
they should be selected of medium size
and care should be observed to wash
them carefully and place them in a YES
sci Of sailed water for several hours. so
that they may clean themselves; that
is, discharge the dirt and grit found
within their shells. When this pro-
cess is completed the bivalves should be
placed in water and boiled-or steaming
is better in the vapor generated by their
own juice. When they are done they
may be easily taken out of their shells
and are ready to be used in one of the
many forms Of which they are suscep-
tible. Washington Star.

A muddy river betokens one Of the
greatest Of national losses. 1t means
that the rich soil, which Jack Frost and
other natural agencies have been ages
IN forming, is washing away into the
ocean. Tillers OF the land could do
much to prevent the loss by keeping the
ground on hillsides covered with trees
or with sod. II is the cultivated field
on a slant which washes away most
rapidly II is contrary to public policy,
or at least to the welfare OF the future,
that the top-soil Of such land should
be sent down to the ocean when it
might be yielding grass crops. Many
rivers that are now muddy were clear
before the coming to this continent Of
civilized man.
