BEAUMONT MAIL IS HEAVY.
~Seventy-Five Thousand Letters Daily
rou St. Louis Office.

As evidence OF the interest taken in Beaumont
OF! II was stated Yesterday that within the past
few months about 10000 100 letters have passed
through the St. Louis Post Office to and from
Texas oil promoters. At the present time it is
estimated that local oil brokers are sending out
about 5000 letters a day 10 their clients.
The result OF this advertising is said TO have
much to do with the increased immigration to
Texas. besides drawing attention to the great
productive possibilities in the Beaumont field.
Many persons who have not settled at Beau
mont have made trips to the oil country and
made Investments in adjacent territory.
OIL stocks continue to be IN demand. and even
the small companies had increased subscriptions
the last few days, owing to the bringing in OF
more gushers. and the statements that rehneries
and improved transportation facilities are as
sured in the near future.

Don't eat with your ears" says
Yuan Mel, a Chinese writer, 'by which
l mean do not aim at having extraor-
binary out of the way foods, just to
astonish your guests for that is to
eat with your ears, not with your
mouth. Bean curd, if good, is actually
nicer than birds nest. And better than
sea slugs, which are not first rate, is a
dish of bamboo shoots.
'"rhe chicken, the pig, the fish and
the duck-these are the four heroes of
the table. Sea slugs and birds nest
have no characteristic flavors of their
own. They are but usurpers in the
house. l once dined with a friend who
gave us birds nests in bowls like watts,
holding each about four ounces of the
plain boiled article. The other guests
applauded vigorously, but smiled and
said came here to eat birds nest, not
to take delivery of it Wholesale"
