Gulls' Eggs Good Eating.

I'D like to have a mess of gulls'
eggs now" said the epicure to the
New York Press. They beat a hens
eggs all to pieces and nine people out
OF ten eat gull eggs for plover eggs
and don't know the difference.
"In England from now on, from
March to May, there are hundreds of
men who make a living by gathering
gulls' eggs and foisting them on the
public for plovers' eggs. The fens and
salt marshes of the English coast are
as valuable, on account of the gulls'
nests, as vineyards or orchards. These
fens rent at high rate, and keepers
protect the eggs from thieves the same
as keepers on noblemen's estates keep
out poachers.
EARLY in March the gulls pair. They
lay their eggs in the salt marshes, III
hollow or tuft of grass. The
nests, in the best marshes, touch. You
can't take step without crushing
eggs under foot These eggs, olive
colored, FLASHED with green and gray,
sell at wholesale for 7cents apiece.
They are called plovers' eggs.
Each nest has. as rule, three eggs.
When the first set is taken from her
the female bird lays another set, and
If this one is taken, too she lays a
third set, which is always left to her
to hatch, or otherwise she and her
kind would never return to the marsh
again.
MANY of the owners of these marsh
es make $4,000 apiece in the spring
by selling for plovers' eggs their gulls'
egg harvest"

Is the Romance Of the Sea Deadg


While slowly ate my dinner in the
magnificent saloon of the great liner
Amerika and looked about at the jolly
little parties of two and four and six,
at the daintily clad women and the
severely clad men. and at the freshly
cut flowers and the sparkling glass,
and while listened to the low-pitched
laughter and talk and to the music
of the gay little relocated orchestra
it seemed very much as If had stroll
led over from Picadilly Circus to Pail
Mall, of a cold, foggy evening, and
had turned in at the Carlton hotel. 1
grew sober as thought about it,
writes Samuel Merwin in Success
Magazine. We did these things very
differently a little while back. Even
very little while back-as the his
tory of humankind runs-life at sea
meant more, for it seemed to bring a
man nearer to his God than we of to-
day very often get. ut is true" l
asked myself, that they have destroy
ed the charm of the sea? Is the fine
old salty romance dead and buried?"
Standing that night looking out over
the waves toward handful of low
lying stars, l knew that the romance
of the sea is an undying thing. What
we have lost is no more than our old
notion of it. The Spanish galleon has
gone out with the rapier and the dag
ger. We no longer, the boys among us,
haunt the wharves for glimpses of
Spanish sailors with bearded lips.
The si-shooter is not what it was, and
the tall clipper ship has followed the
stage coach into the junk yard of
the things that were. But the new
romance runs deeper 1t is more COM
pick. 1t is the wonderful story of the
awakening, the rousing and the stir
ring to action of a drowsy old world
which has only begun to find itself
and to feel its magnificent strength.
