Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires
Washington, May 22.-One Of the un,
expected results of the Consular Re-
organization act. now being put in opera
ton, Is the discontinue Of somo consular
officers who have been oonoealng the
actual amount of tho unofficial fees Of
their offices. The practice was not dis
honest IN one sense. for the consuls arc
IN many cases permitted 20 retain all such
fees, but for the sake of the records Of tho
department and in order TO enable the
officials to know the state Of business Of
the consulatos IL was required that all
such fees should be accounted for. But
some consuls feared that TO publish the
amount of the fees they received would be
to make their offices too attractive to
oiiioe-seekem, so they failed TO make the
full returns. Their punishment came
when Congress passed the Consular Re-
organization act, on the basis OF suhsti-
tuition of lump salaries for the combined
salary and fee system Of compensation.
There was no intention OF reducing the
compensation Of many Of the consuls,
but it has naturally followed that the con-
suls who failed 20 return their full fees
have suffered a substantial reduction.

A Popular Story,

People who find it tlresome to read a
book more than once will scarcely
credit the story which is told of one
of the Scilly isles. The entire library
Of this little island consisted. a CEN
tury or more ago, of a single copy Of
the "History Of DR.. Faustus." As
most Of the inhabitants were able. to
read, provided words were not too diff
fcult, the %conjurer's story had been
handed from house to house, until from
perpetual thumbing very little of his
entertainments or his catastrophe was
left legible. When this alarming state
Of things became evident. a meeting of
the principal inhabitants was called to
discuss what could be done to remedy
1t, for the people must have something
to read. A proposal was made and car
ried that as soon as the season permit
ted any intercourse with Cornwall a
supply Of books should be ordered. The
question arose what these books should
be. but at last it was settled amicably
that an order should be transmitted to
Penzance for another copy of the "His-
tory Of DR.. Faustus." and then the
meeting joyously broke up.

Something About Eggs.

The everyday world is full OF
wonderful things, yet when you give a
moments thought to an egg-well, a
chemist would tell you it contains so
much proteid, phosphoric acid and
iron. But one should think of it as a
Treasure house, wherein lie
Locked by angels alchemy
Milk and hair and blood and bone.
An egg contains in concentrated form
everything that is required to develop a
chicken. ard it can be cooked in so
many ways that is palatable as we'll as
digestible. That is why eggs are
chief among the foods allowed an
invalid. Though chemists have tried
for a hundred years to discover it,
nothing in science or in all our wide
variety of foods can be transformed
into a substitute for eggs. OF course
one could, if necessary, cook without
them, only it would mean going with.
out a score of dishes we think of as
everyday necessities, such as custards.
cake, buildings, griddle cakes, to say
nothing of the abundant use of what
we might call purely egg dishes.-From

COOKING Snails.

Escargots are at their best when taken
In the vineyards ct the end Of March
and the beginning of April. They live
on the shoots of the vines and during
the winter bury themselves In the
ground, during which time they are
purged Of all gross humors before they
return to enjoy themselves in the fields
In the spring. Cooking these snails is
not an easy matter. They are drawn
from the shell, which is then carefully
scrubbed and washed. Their heads are
cut off, and they are well soaked in salt
and water, then returned to the shell,
which is stopped with parsley butter
and laid to simmer in a hot dish over
the fire. Though there may be two
opinions about the favor Of the oscar
got, there is no doubt that both in taste
and substance it Is an edible unlike
any other known. The Wiltshire peo-
pie, especially the population Of Swim
ton, eat the large garden snails as a
common dainty. They are sold in the
market like periwinkles. Snailing
along the banks and hedgerows is a
popular amusement in winter.

THROUGH Thick and Thin.

II monarchs have often permitted
themselves the indulgence Of making
puns the fact has not been recorded in
the pages Of history. One pun, how.
ever, is assigned to King Frederick
William Nv. of Prussia.
1t is said that on the occasion of a
court ball he was standing near the
middle Of the dance hall in converse
ton with an exceedingly thin ambas-
sador. In the haste and excitement
Of a fiery galop a lieutenant of the
hussars danced, with his partner, be-
tween the monarch and the person
whom he was addressing, and then,
seeing what he had done. he began to
Btammer abject apologies and explana-
tons. ~, /,
"Oh. that was nothing" replied the
king, with a hearty laugh: "a hussar
must go without fear through thick
and thin"
A whimsical glance from his own
portly figure to that of the slender am
bassador accompanied this answer, and.
the hussar felt himself not only par
doned, but invited to share in the
kings laugh.

An Ivory Mat.

Many people have never ven heard
Of such a thing, and it Is not to be
wondered at, for these mats are ex-

who know that only three Of these
beautiful curiosities exist in the whole
world. The one we now write about is
the largest one made. It measures 8
by 4 feet and, though made in a small
hill state in the north of India, has an
almost Greek design for its border. It
was only used on state occasions, when
the rajah sat on it to sign important
documents. The original cost Of the mat
Is fabulous, for 6,40O pounds Of ivory
were used in it's manufacture. The fin

SERVING Hiah.

Fish is dainty food. Practice is need
ed in serving 1t. Lightness Of touch
and dexterity Of management are nee
essary to keep the delicate flakes in
tact. 1t requires some skill to rip
the skin and lay it back and sever the
head and tail with neatness and dis
patch. These three articles must new
,er leave the platter. They belong to
the cat. The choicest morsel Of any
white fish is the cheek. 1t Is not good
form to cut through a fish. Begin at
the tail and throw aside the skin. Be
gin at the head to serve, cutting to the
backbone. When the meat on that side
Is helped turn the fish and help the
other side in the same way. If there is
roe a part should be served each per-
son. Boiling is the incest way to cook
and the easiest way to serve fish.
Dress the edge Of the platter with hard
egg and sliced lemon, tomato and beets.

Ma.eppa and the Cossacks.

The word cossack means robber, and
the name Cossacks was given by the
Turks to a race in manners, appear
ance and language like the Russians,
but who are said not to be really akin
to them. The Cossacks of Little Rus
STA and the Don Cossacks are said to
be the most INSCRIPTIONS robbers in
the world. They excel in craftsmanship
and form a large part Of the Russian
imperial cavalry. Styled sometimes
the spies Of the car, they keep the
nihilists in greater check than any
other power and number many more
than a million men. Mazeppa, a Don
~ossack, the subject Of Byron's poem,
hen condemned to be bound upon a
wild horse and borne away to his fate,
was carried toward the Ukraine, on
the borders Of Poland, and, being res
cued by Cossacks, became their chief.
