Where SnaiIs Are Eaten.

France is the premier snail producing
nation, although Austria, Bavaria and
Switzerland have thousands of snail
farms, where the famous escargots are
raised and fattened on vine leaves. The
demand for snails in France is far too
great for the supply to be left to chance,
and thus it comes about that snail farm
ing is an important industry. Paris alone
consumes millions between September
and May, when these little creatures are
at their best.
In great cities of Europe are stores
devoted entirely to them, each ornament
ed by an immense gilt snail over the door
as a sigh. Huge tubs of snails in the
rough are displayed, and there are be-
sides dishes of carefully prepared mol
lusks ali ready for eating. These have
been cooked, extracted from their shells
and minced The meat is then mixed
with butter, chopped parsley and herbs,
and the shells, trimmed and made at
tractive, are reflled with this prepared
paste.
The most popular snails today come
from Dion and Macon, in Burgundy;
where they are fed on vine leaves, and
the parks, as the local snail farms are
called, open their gates in the month
of August, when the little creatures be-
stir themselves actively.-Chlcago News

Christmas Puddin' Is
0. X, Says Lancet

The London Lancet has taken up the
cudgels in defense of the Christmas pud-
ding and entirely generating it from the
charge of indigestibility so frequently
hurled against it after the Christmas
feast.
The writer of an article which takes
the form of an editorial argues that III
such cases the correct diagnosis is too
many good things"
Is Really Star Food.
He observes that it is hardly possible
to conceive of more complete food than
the Christmas pudding, for a glance at
the ingredients shows at once that all
classes of food material are abundantly
represented.
The Christmas pudding is a meal for a
hungry man and not merely bonnie
bouche for him, who, by the time the
pudding has come to the table, already
has eaten enough of other strong foods.
The procedure connected with the
preparation and cooking of the plum
pudding, the reader is assured, is
physiologically sound.
IT'S Meal in Itself.
After analyzing the favorite Christ
mas dish the Lancet concludes with the
pointed comment:
THE Christmas pudding is eaten at
the wrong moment-that is to say, when
an already sufficient, not to say eX-
cessive, quantity of food has been taken,
for it could form complete and easily
digestble meal by ITSELF

OKLAHOMA AS A COTTON STATE.

In the production of cotton Oklahoma
ranks sixth among the states. In 1906
1t produced one million bales, and this
year will probably bring it up to fourth
place.

with the rush didn't think of it as a cot

anything, in fact when they saw the red

OF OBSCURE Georgia negroes, in dire mis-
fortune, to discover it's cotton qualities
and give it one of it's chief sources of
wealth.
1t was along about 1890 that a negro,

site, and induced some 1000 negroes from
the south to settle there. But the town,
having nothing to support it, was fail

few remained. some of them even ac-

No one knew about cotton in Okla

Why Mr.. Spooner Left Public Life.
(Minneapolis Tribune.l

None of the explanations of the resig-
nation of Senator SpoOner of Wisconsin
was satisfactory. He was perhaps the
foremost member of the most important
legislative body in the country. He re-
NAMED popular idol in his state in
spite of loss of power by the men with
whom he had been associated. He
could have been returned indefinitely.
He was not poor man and his SIM
pie tastes and modest life contradicted
the perfunctory explanation that he re
sumed practice to make money. The
reason for his refusal to be candidate
six years ago was removed before his
election. Why, then, did Spooner leave
the Senate?
The reason begins to appear He de-
sired to recover his freedom of speech.
He was a responsible leader, not only
in the Senate. but in the party. He felt
the obligations of that position most sol
EMMY. He had been the representative
and defender of three Republican Presi-
dents in the Senate. He could not abdi-
cate that position and remain.
He served Roosevelt as he had served
Mckinley and, in his previous term OF
service, Harrison. Roosevelt used him.
of such a supporter in Congress is APP
preciated by the most self-conhdent
President Spooner had nothing to COM
plain of in his treatment by the Presi-
dent, nor had the President anything
to complain of in him.
But the men drifted apart, as the
President drifted away from other Re
publican leaders. Spooner differed from
! the rest in unwillingness to continue lip
service against his convictions, to laud
the President in public and criticise him
in private; even to preserve sullen 81
lence when he was attacked by the Dem
ocrats. To the end he was the Presi-
dents champion on the floor.
Now we can measure the strong sense
of duty to party that made him so by
the freedom and keenness of his public
criticism. In private life it is his care
to defend the constitution; it is no long
er his duty to defend nominal party
head. He resigned, not to get money
or to escape defeat, but to regain the
right to speak his mind. This is I'M
usual in public life

A Birds Christmas rec

Why not have Christmas tree for the
birds this winter? We put up such a
tree every year, says a writer in Subur-
ban Life. We made broad shelf out
side the window and fastened a small
pine tree firmly upon it.
AS winter draws near, we fasten some
pieces of seet to trees about the house
and scatter chaff and hayseed in the yard
to bring the birds about. They soon
gather to the feast.
Then when it is almost Christmas time
we put up our birds tree and supply it
literally with suet. We cover the shell
with burlap, which helps to hold the
chaff we scatter there.
The birds soon tinG this food. and as
the supply is constantly renewed, the
window becomes their favorite resort,
particularly in snowy weather, when
their usual fare is hard to obtain. Jays,
chickadees, nut-hatches, woodpeckers,
snowbirds. song sparrows, tree sparrows
and myrtle warblers come to the Christ
mas tree.
If they are shy at first we use lace
sash curtain, for they cannot see through
this. while they are plainly visible from
within. 1t can be removed when they
have become accustomed to window
feeding.

A War of Determination.

Denmark has begun in good earnest its
war of determination against the rat
The killing of rats is stimulated by the
governments offer of bounty for every
rat killed. In eighteen weeks the slaugh-
ter of rats in the city of Copehagen
amounted to 100000. and the bounty
paid for them to $1,000. 1t is calculated
that allowing half cent a day for the
value Of the food consumed and the de-
struction of property accomplished by
each rat. the killing of 100000 rats eff
fects a saving of $195,000 a year. 1t is
more than this, for rats breed four or
five times a year, and the 100000 rats
would have had numerous progeny
whose consumption of food and destruc-
ton of property would have been added
to theirs, but is now prevented.
However, it is not the waste which
rats accomplish with their teeth that has
occasioned the Danish campaign against
them. It is the recognition of rats as
spreaders of disease. Years ago the
declaration was made by scientists that
rats play an important part in spreading
the germs of pneumonia. More recently
the dissemination of the bubonic plague
has been laid to the rats. Now they are
charged with responsibility for carry
ing the terrible scourge of trichinosis.
The rat is declared to be the primary
host of trichina spiralis. and it is con-
ceived that getting rid of the rat will
protect the pigs and also protect the
human beings who use the flesh of swine
as food
The campaign against the rats is there
fore a part of the campaign of sanitation.
1t is expected that Germany and Other
nations will soon join Denmark in its
war Of determination against the rats
