SOME STRANGE DELEGATES
A Growing Demand for Birds Nests,
Snails and Frogs.

1t is truism that anything purchas
able can be bought in London. The shop
window of a Piccadilly confectioner ex-
emplifies this fact His trade in Chi
nese edible birds nests has lately de-
veloped to such an extent as to warrant
the inclusion of that somewhat rare del
icacy among the more commonplace
goods displayed in his window.
The nests are used in making a soup
which was until recently consumed only
by celestials, but which is now gaining
perimental tendencies and unlimited
wealth. For it is the dearest soup
known, The nests-1ittle gelatinous
things in the construction of which the
saliva of the tiny Chinese birds is the
principal constituent-cost los an ounce.
The manager of a famous restaurant
and an accomplished chef explained that
a consomme of chicken is first made,
and then for each plate of soup a whole
nest is added, as in the manner of cali
pash and calipee in turtle soup. A small
plate of the nest soup, little more than a
mouthful, costs IS. to rs, Cd
The manager in question pointed out
that until recently he seldom or never
sold a birds nest, and then only to some
wealthy Chinaman visiting London.
Now he has a regular and increasing
demand for the article, and sells about
$50 ounces during the brief season when
the nests are at their best
Another curious delicacy now being
employed in the making of an expensive
soup is called ''visega''-the dried back
bone of sturgeon. In appearance 1t re-
sembles long strands of macaroni-

The coffee drinker who has suffered

changing from coffee to Postum Food
Coffee knows something valuable.
He or she has no doubt about it. A
California lady says: Il learned the
truth about coffee in peculiar way
My husband, who has for years been of
very bilious temperament, decided to
leave off coffee and give Postum
trial, and as I did not want the trouble
of making two beverages for meals l
concluded to try Postum too, and the
results have been that while my hus-
band has tneen greatly benefited, / have
myself received even greater benefit
When I began to drink Postum L was
thin in flesh and very nervous, and now
I actually weigh 16 pounds more than
did at that time, and i am stronger
physically and in my nerves, while
husband is cured of all his ills.
I'VE have learned our little lesson
about coffee, and We know something
about Postum, too, for we have used

hawkers will go into the game Satur-
