oMELErTE OFF FISH BANKS.
CARGO of EmbaImed Chinese Egg Yolk
Dumped Into the Sea.

From the New York Press.
Father Neptune had a big feast of EN-
balmed Chinese egg yollk Friday. lie
was the guest of honor of Uncle Sam
and Collector of Port Fowler was the
caterer The feast was spread in the
open ocean five miles east of Scotland
Lightship. The menu consisted of 1852
cases of the egg yolk garnished with
borax Table decorations included beauti-
full sea ferns dotted here and there with
starfish. Neptune was escorted TO the
feast by fourteen regiments OF codhsh
fresh from the bean-strewn harbor of
Boston. The change from a strictly bean
diet to one of imported Chinese egg yolk
was so pleasing to the Goldfish that they
decided to spend at least week near
Scotland Lightship disposng of the deli
cacy, which had been hauled to the
scene of the banquet on a scow lent
to Uncle Sam by Commissioner Daring
ton of the board of health.
The banquet had its inception three
years ago when DR.. w. H. Wiley, or
the bureau of chemistry of the depart
lnent of agriculture decided that Chinese
egg yolS embalmed In borax was not
fit food for American lovers of pies and
pastry. He said congress had enacted
a pure food law and that II egg yolk
embalmed in borax was pure food as
the importers contended, the pure food
law might as well be repealed. The fed
eral officials directed the collector OF
customs here to hold up the egg yolk
and put il in the bonded warehouse pend
ing settlement of the dispute The I'M
portcrs carried their fight to Washington
and lost all along the line. Meanwhile
the egg yolk had been stored in the
warehouse in 1852 cases.
Collector Fowler decided it would be
"a good thing to give big feast to Nep-
tune and his scaly followers. Health
Commissioner Darlington was invited to
cooperate. The result was that the
scow was put in commission and the egg
eolk cases were hauled out to the open
sea. There they were broken OPEN and
their contents were thrown overheard.

ship looked IKE big egg omelet.

His Idea of Lunch.

1t was the hour of spelling lesson,
and the teacher of the primary grade
was pronouncing the words while the
small persons in front of her labori-
ously wrote them down. According to
the usual custom she called for vol
unteers to define each word as it was
pronounced.
Lunch. Now, who can tell me what
a lunch is?'
There was long period of silence
then hand went up.
"Well, Johnny, you may tell us what
a lunch is"
"A lunch" said Johnny-"a lunch is
what you have for dinner when your
father is away."-Harper's Magazine.
