or it may be in San Francisco. Once a year, too other organizations gather, like the great educational association, which so lately convened in Boston, or the Christian endeavors in Denver; and with each successive year a new host comes forward, and in the most i1ospi- table way tries, to make it's guests com fortable and happy.
 It would be difficult to measure the good that these meetings do. The free handed westerner goes away from his visit to the Hub with a feeling that eastern people are not so cold and re- served or so 'effete" as he had thought and the Boston girl finds her sister from Nebraska or Kansas to be very like herself in heart and purpose, only a little more alert perhaps, and less con- servative. So East and West and North and South come nearer together and think better of each other for these intervisitings The benefit is never or1e- sided It is not alone. the stranger within the gates who gets something out of it--the host is gainer also.-- Youth Companion.

A NEW BREAKFAST FOOD.

A new kind of food Is, being served on the tables of the palatia1 hotels in southern California; to wit, the egg of the gigantic ostrich. Ostrich egg ome- let is not a very common dish, at this writing, on these tables or elsewhere in America, but every now and then an egg is sent up from the Pasadena os- trich farm, to variegate the sunlptuous menu that invariably appears for the delectation of the luxurious guest
 While a great novelty in California, still. the eating of ostrich eggs is prac- tice as old as the hills in Africa. Many a weary Arab, wandering over the bar retn, sun-scorched desert, has been so- laced by the discovery of an ostrich nest containing, among number of eggs, one or two that were fresh. E:.
 An ostrich egg weighs three and. a half pounds, and Is somewhat larger than cocoanut. It contains thirty ounces of. a1bumen, and is equal to about thirty eggs of the ordinary hen. One ostrich egg would be sufficient for a breakfast dish at large and fashiona- ble boarding house. If a boiled egg be desired, half an hour must be allowed to boil 1t. The common method of cook ing the ostrich egg in California is as an omelet. Thus prepared, it tastes like an omelet made of hens eggs, and mo- body would know, unless so informed, that it was aught else
 Ostrich eggs in California and .Arizo- ma are worth seventy-two dollars a dozen. There are not many telephone orders from the hotels to the farms for fresh eggs, at the market price. In- deed, such as are used are generally for-
 warded by the courtesy of the manager of some ostrich farm, the proprietor of which wishes to advertise the existence of his curious institution to the throng of tourists who frequent the magnifi- cent hotels of southern California. The shells even of the ostrich eggs are worth twelve dollars dozen, and are sold to travellers as inementoes of their visit to the Golden State Sometimes they are decorated by pyramids, palm trees and ostriches painted upon them, and are sold for a much higher price. Even fragments of ostrich shells are beauti- fled in this manner, and are sold, at a trifiing cost, ito visitors. Perhaps no egg or shell in the world brings so much money to the producer as that of the domestic ostrich. In Africa the shells are made into lamps, to light up, in the same old-fashioned way as the lamps of the Romans, or the religious edi1ces of the. ,Arabians.-E H. Rydall in the Boston Cooking School Magazine.

THE FREEDOM OF THE CITY.

THE FREEDOM OF THE CITY.
 In old days, when cities were sur- rounded by walls, and had gates which were closed at sunset. the freedom of the city, meant a key delivered in a beautiful casket, and perhaps an illu- minated parchment. The old custom has never died. Even the time-honored name still clings to the practice by which city, acting as host, bestow formal and dignified hospitality upon a distinguished guest.
 Note that it is still the city which does this. The smallest political unit, not the largest, is the one which figures most often and most extensively as an entertainer The nation entertains only the most distinguished of individuals or those of the highest rank. The same is true of the state, the next political unit. But the cities-how they open their arms to the thousands, and fin the best sense of the word give them "the freedom of the eity!"
