AN ODD SEA FOOD.
Virtues of the Gigantic Marine Snail
&.nown as the AbaIone.


N-novm as the AbaIone.
Though tie flesh of the abalone is
nutritious and wholesome article Of
food, highly esteemed by the Chinese
and Japanese. few people in the Unit.
ed States know anything about the
abalone except that it has a large shell
with bright, pearly interior. The aba.
lone is a gigantic sea snail, whose nat
ural home is the deep water off rocky
coast. The whole coast of central and
lower California, from Cape Mendo-
cino to Cape st. Lucas, abounds in aba
lones, the supply being absolutely I'M
limited. AS fast as an area Of fishing
ground is depleted it is repeopied by
full grown abalones coming in from
the ocean. Three months after piece
Of ground has been thoroughly cleared
by the abalone fishers the supply is as
abundant as ever The contents of the
large abalone shell weigh as much as
two pounds.
Long ago the Chinese and Japanese
discovered the value of the meat as
wholesome and digestible food. The
supply of abalones in Chinese waters
is, however, small, and the fishing
grounds off the coast Of Japan were SO
heavily drawn upon that they became
exhausted. The people are forbidden
by an imperial edict from taking them.
The Japanese and Chinese in (jalifor-
MIA dive for the abalones, which craw,
about the rocks at the bottom of the
sea in deep water outside the surf.
The divers bring them ashore and
spread them out in sunny place to
dry. This process reduces the abalons
to about one-third of it's original bulk
leaving a tough, horny product. The
dried abalones are sent to the orient,
where they are soaked and stewed or
ground into powder and used for max.
Ing soup.
In the pure, deep water Of the ocean
the abalone lives, and as 1t is a clean
feeder its flesh is always sound and
wholesome, being superior in this re.
spect to that Of oysters and clans.
which live near shore and are often
contaminated by sewage and other i'm
purfties. The viscera of an abalone
unlike those Of the clam or oyster
which must be swallowed whole, are
quite separate f ON the muscular or
edible part and can be detached by a
single stroke Of knife. ~

MOCK TRIAL FOR
 CHURCH BENEFIT
TWO YOUNG LADIES TRIED ON THE CHARGE OF NOT BEING MARRIED-oNE FOUND GUILTY. OTHER CASES TONIGHT.

-'ell City June 6.-(Special 1.-Two of the most sensational cases every tried in the courts of St. Clair county were dis posed of at the court house here on Tuesday night, the 4th, before Judge AL eton. Some of the most prominent legal lights of the state were retained in both cases.
 The trial referred to were those of the State of Matrimony vs Miss Lucille John- son and Miss Hortense Spears for not getting married.
 Miss Johnson was found guilty and sentenced to seclusion from society for thirty days. Miss Spears was cleared of the charge, it having been proved that the fault was not hers. The judges charge in both cases was very eloquent and ful of wit, and the speeches of the attorneys were gems of humor. The judge had much difficulty in keeping the court room quiet during the progress of the cases, as the testimony of the witnesses and the rulings of the judge were so ridiculous that the spectators roared.
 A second session of the court will be held Friday night, the 7th at which three old bachelors will be prosecuted by the State of Matrimony, 1. e., Julian Dendy. l. II. Davis and James McClen- don, along with another of the old maids, Miss Joyner. whose case was continued from Tuesday night. The bachelors have retained Messrs. Knok, Acker and Black mon, and Judge Green of Anniston, Col onel Embry of Ashville and several other prominent firms to help them prove that it has not been their fault that they have not married. As on Friday night Solicitor Darden, assisted by Col. w. A. Starns will prosecute. It is thought that much trouble will be had in finding jurors who have not expressed opinions in these cases.
 As Il great many people attending first trial had to stand up, and as a greater crowd is expected at this term chairs will be placed in all the vacant space in the court room so that everybody may be comfortable. All spectators paying 25 cents. the Methodist church expects to reap quite harvest from these two terms of court.
