Detroit Free Press.
Some years ago, a parrot named Apollo
used to hang in his cage on porch facing
Washington street. near the First Metho-
dist Church, In Ann Arbor. AS he swung
there, it was his especial delight TO hear
a snatch of some familiar air. when he
would take up the strain and repeat 1t
without a seconds hesitation. OF course,
he soon made numerous friends by this
social habit, and many who passed daily

hearing his quick repetition of it in a very
musical whistle.
Although he was a remarkably vivacious
and social bird up to the first summer that
he swung on that particular porch he had
done nothing TO distinguish himself Two

OF them, particularly winning little lady,

How the National Dish of the Chinese

Chop suey, the national dish of China

to become a standard food in this country.
There are some sixty Chinese restaurants
scattered over the different bOroughs of
Greater New York whose chief attraction is
this popular composition, and several Amer
lean restaurants have endeavored 10 take
advantage of its popularity by adding it to
their daily bill of fare. There is a rfdicu-
lous amount of mystery concerning the
dish 1t is simple. economical and easily
made The general formula is as follows:
One pound OF moderately lean fresh pork,
cut into pieces a quarter of an inch thick.
a half an inch wide and an inch long: two
chicken lvers, chopped up TO the size of
dice two chicken giZZards, cut into slices
the size of n nickel. and each ring pinked
with the lines almost meeting in the CEN
ter.
The heat of cooking causes the ibers to
shrink and converts the circle into a
many-pointed star. A quarter of a pound
of celery cut into slivers, a quarter of a
pound of canned mushrooms and a quarter
OF a pound of green peas, chopped string.
