German-born citizens import wild
boars and hares, and a singular con-
lection called matzapan, which is
made of white sugar, cream and
blanched almonds. They also import
various kinds of bread and pastry, &C.
casionally bringing in German cab
bages and potatoes. Their cabbages
are very small; little baby cabbages, in
deed. But they are of finer fiber and
more delicate flavor than ours. Their
potatoes are very small and every way
inferior to our product; and yet, a cab
bage soup, enriched with those pota-
toes, will stick to the ribs, and make
you send up your plate for second
helping; indeed, they expect you to
call for second dish of soup of their
own importation and of their own
making. If you are being entertained
by a German-born friend who wants to
give you a full fatherland meal you
may expect goose breasts, which have
been dried, smoked and picked, and
you don't dare turn up your nose at
this delicacy, either. All of their vari-

creditable," says Tom Cava-
naugh, a veteran customs inspector.
he added: But you ought TO tell
your readers something about the
nuItifarious foods which pass through
the customs houses.
You are probably not aware OF the
fact that upwards of 70 nationaht1es
are represented in cur composite clti-
zenship. AT some time every year each
one of these nationalities will appear
on the books of some port OF entry,
because of the desire of the 1mml-
grants for home dishes. There are
hundreds of these dishes, and all OF
their names are unfamiliar to our peo-
Pile.
The Irish cannot make many boasts
concerning the excellence Of their ma
tive gastronomy; and yet they import
regularly pieces of bacon, genuine
'murphies' and Irish moss; peculiar
kind of dried seaweed which is gathered
on the western coast of old ireland.
This is said to be especially wholesome

to Americans. 1t looks somewhat like
the material used at our coast resorts
for the preparation of clam bakes.
When it is cooked, however, according
to the notions of the old folks, it de-
velops into dark gelatinous mass
which is very agreeable to the taste,
and undoubtedly beneficial to the
health.
There is a seaweed very like the
Irish importation which the Scandl-
navians import from Norway and
Sweden; and they also import several
kinds of bread, and very small cab
bage. There are three kinds of bread;
one like German pumpernickel, one
like unleavened bread, which the Jews
call matzos, and another kind which
seems to be betwixt and between the
two. All of these breads are palatable,
and extremely nutritious. They are
usually toasted and served with milk,
cream, butter or cheese.
"The amount of food which French
man will import is limited in quality
and quantity only by his financial
limitations. The French have no re-
ligious belief more deep seated than
their belief that their people alone
have been blessed with an absolutely
perfect understanding of what to eat,
and how to prepare and serve it. They
import everything that goes on their
table, if they have money enough.
They will even eat and declare that
they enjoy chewing the toughest of
leather, in the form of imported cox
combs. The animal tissue of the coXs-
comb is sometimes put up raw, but is
usually half cooked. and then picked
or spiced. 1t is brilliant, but makes
the molars of an American work over
time while acquiring the taste. But
imported French blood pudding, dark
er, heavier than the German blutwurst,
is the worst of them all. Made from
the blood of beeves and horses, these
buildings are SO extremely disagree
able that very few Americans can ac-
quire taste for them. Blood pudding
can be found on the tables of French
restaurants and boarding houses in al
most every city of this country, and
it is usually the imported article"
Nearly everybody is familiar with
the German food importations, and
the American limitations of them.

course, of testing the heat of the Oven
For instance, when baking bread, they

oven is at the proper temperature; or,
when baking other things they will
| throw little cornmeal or flour into
the oven in order to test the heat.
But the bakers fingers are the best

OF the different tempera lures. required
in baking different things, it is no small
achievement to even approximate the
heat of the oven by touching the handle
of the oven door.
Bakers figure that during the ris-
ing time OF loaf Of bread, after it
has been placed in the oven, it ought
to be in 4 temperature OF sevcnty-fivc
degrees Fahrenheit. During the bak-
ing process, in order to cook the starch,
expand the carbonic acid gas, air and
steam, and drive off the alcohol. the
inside of the loaf must register at least
220 degrees. In baking rolls, buns,
scones, tea biscuits, drop cakes, fancy
cakes, New Year cakes, mullins. puff
cakes, and things of that sort, the oven
must show 4 heat of 45O degrees or
higher. When the oven is at 400 de-

Federal Aid to Roads

The good roads movement that seems
to be going over the country is one of
the best signs Of the times. 1t is, per-
haps, a better evidence of real progress
than industrial enterprise of any other
character
/ When Il community once gets well
started in good road building it is very
likely to keep it up, for every advance
on this line gives fresh object lesson
of the practical value of good roads
and the wastefulness of bad ones.
For several years past campaign of
popular education on this subject has
| been carried on in every section of the
country by individuals and organiza-
tions. by newspapers and magazines.
and to very notable extent by the
Federal Government through it's ad-
mfrably conducted Department of
Agriculture. The railroads have also
given 1t very valuable aid. This work
has seemed in many localities to have
little effect, and there has been much
to discourage those who have devoted
themselves to it. But they have kept
bravely on, and now on all sides the
fruits of their labOrs are beginning to
appear. It is safe prediction that
there Will be more miles of first-class
roadway laid in the United States this
year than In any previous year Of our
history. 1t has become much easier
than it formerly was to interest the
masses of the people. the farmers. the
business men, men of property and pro-
fessional men-the public generally-in
this subject, which concerns Us all and
touches all our interests. Interest in |
road improvement is growing into en-
thusiasm for it as a larger proportion
OF the people are coming to appreciate
its Importance and profitableness
We are at the beginning of a great |
