The Chinese Cuisine.

Though Chinese cuisine has been
credited with some utterly fabulous
dishes, such as white mice served
alive. which add piquancy by their
squeak as they dive down the gullet,
cul1osities in the edible line do form
a considerable list.
Birds nest soup. for instance; a
clear soup made from the refined
gluten with which a certain species
of swallow fasten their nests beneath
the rocks; stewed sea slugs," another
nasty sounding dish, but transcending
in flavor the aldermanic green turtle
fat. There may be, too. on first intro.
duction, some prejudice against fried
grasshoppers. But courage in this in
stance is rewarded by a deliciously
crisp, brown mouthful, of delicate
nutty flavor.
1t is fallacy to suppose that pork
forms a constant article of diet in
China. AS a matter of fact, it is too
expensive and is only eaten on high
days and holidays or at restaurants.
Neither do milk, beef or game enter
much into Chinese cookery, the first
two being tabooed on religious grounds.
Dog flesh is eaten in the south but
rarely and only by the poorest Of the
poor.--Blackwood.

NEW TOWN OPENED
ROADS EXTENSION FROM
RICE LAKE
LOTS SOLD VERY READILY
Prospects for Booming Community

Case Is Again Postponed
Railroad Notes.

The new town of Brentwood, located
on the recently completed extension of
the Omaha road from Rice Lake, Wis,
to Birch Lake, was opened to settlement
on Tuesday by the owners of the town
site.
The Northwestern line ran excursions
into Brentwood for this auction sale from
many points in Minnesota, Iowa, Wis
consin and Illinois, and special trains
were run over the new line from Rice
Lake to the narrows between Birch and
Cedar lakes within about 1000 yards of
the location of the new town, that being
as far as the new extension of the road
has been completed.
About 500 business men and investors
attended the sale, and tie Wisconsin
Land company realized about $500 from
the disposition of the lots. The highest
price paid for choice business corners
was Sis. All lines of business were rep
resented among the purchasers of prop
erty, and there will undoubtedly soon be
established one or more manufacturing
concerns that will tend to insure the sta
bility of the new town. One of these, 1t
Is probable, will be the Apron Hardwood
Lumber company, of Grand Rapids,
Mich, which will put in a plant employ
ing about $50 men. Plenty of raw ma
terial for such an enterprise exists in
the vicinity OF Brentwood.
One of the pleasant features of the oc-
casion was a hot dinner served by Mrs.
Vance in an old logging camp. Mrs.
Vance had made ample arrangements to
take care Of everyone, and none went
hungry.
During the day some of those attend
ing the sale were given a ride on the
steamer Lou fainter, and from the end
OF the track to the townsite they were
given an idea of the splendid timber of
the district by walking along q path
through the primeval forest.
The special trains made the twelve
miles from Rice Lake to the end of the
track in thirty-five minutes, and for
new piece of track it was remarkable
how smoothly the trains glided over the
rails
Quite number Of the excursionists will
remain in Brentwood some time for the
purpose of locating on some of the fine
farming lands adjoining the new town.
il is a splendid agricultural country, with
plenty of pure water, hardwood timber
and a soil that is rich and perfectly
adapted to diversified farming and stock
raising.

HOT AFTER SCALPERS.
AshevilIe Convention Decides on
Vigorous Warfare.

AsHEVILLE. N. c.. Oct Dangerous
warfare is to be waged by the American
Association of General Passenger and
Ticket Agents against ticket scalping
The warfare will be extended also against
all forms of forging, altering or manipu-
lation in any way of general tickets
NiClators of the law in these respects will
be pursued relentlessly. 1t will be the
effort of the association now here for
its annual convention, to protect not only
the railway companies but also the trav-
cling public from ticket frauds now
commonly perpetrated throughout the
country. While definite action has not
been taken, however, such was the DRIFT
of discussion at the first business session
of the association held at Battery Park
hotel today. Eighty-five members of the
association were present. The discussion
of the ticket fraud question was precip-
itated by the presentation of two reports,
one by. George H. Daniels, of the New
York Central, on anti-ticket scalping leg
islation. and the other by F. c. Ronald
of the Western Traffic association. on the
establishment of a protective bureau. The
whole subject finally was put over until
tomorrow morning.
