It Is said the president has now got his cabinet fixed up to suit him. and that there will be no more changes during the remainder of his term. MT Roosevelt stands as the boss" cabi- net maker of the presidential fac tory, says Washington writer. Tn other terms many changes have not occurred except where there had been break-ups caused by differences be- tween the members of the cabinet and their chief. such as took place under Jackson, Tyler and Buchanan, but in the case of MT Roosevelt there has been no breakup. nor, so far as the public knows, has there been any serious differences. Harmony has been maintained at all times, and much of the success that has attended the administration is due to this fact.

History tells LIS that Confucius liked sharks fins and sea slugs and birds nests. Well and good. If man with an intellect like that of the great Chinese philosopher found these. to us. unusual foods. palatable. they must be worth trying. Then there are the preserved grape leaves. the pickled squash. and the dried okra os the Syrians. These people of the or
 ient were civilized long before Ameri- ca was even thought of being dis covered. so there Is no reason. argues the epicure. why their knowledge and choice of foods should not he well worth investigating. The other co,n- tries have their special deiicacies which. if they are sought out. appeal to the universal taste and form an agreeable and inexpensive addition to the daily menu of the average mortal who must eat.
