WOULD ABOLISH TREATY.
Representative Goldfogle Introduces
Joint Resolution.

Representative Goldfogle of New York
would have the treaty of 1888 between the
United States and Russia abolished unless
the Russian government ceases what he
declares to be discrimination by that
country against American Hebrews. He
has introduced a joint resolution to bring
about such result.
The resolution is preceded by long
preamble in which 1t is declared that
Russia has from time to time refused to
recognize the passports of American cit
izens because they were of the Jewish
faith The terms of the treaty providing
that the inhabitants of the two countries
"shall mutually have the liberty of enter
ing, sojourning and residing in all parts
of the respective territories of each
other are set forth. and it is then de-
clared that Russia has repeatedly and in
the face of remonstrance from this coun-
try refused to wise out passports because
Of the religious belief Of some Of the hold
ers of them.
In the resolution the President 10 d.
rected to renew negotiations which shall
protect Jewish citizens against this dis
elimination. In case Russia refuses to
recognize it's treaty obligations the Pres
ident Is required to then give notice that
he will suspend the treaty. and In case of
tho persistence Of Russia the resolution
directs him to declare It q IN end.

Ferns for Human Food.
the Dundee Advertiser.

from the dundee Advertiser.
Recent study of the dietary of the Jap
anese shows that they utilize as vegetables
not only water weeds and lichens but
also several species of ferns. One of the
foods regularly supplied to the mikado's
troops during the recent war with Russia
was kind of dried fern biscuit. Most of
these edible ferns grow wild in the United
States. but nobody ever thinks of utilizing
them. There Is kind of fern known in
Japan as warabi which sends out roots
in all directions to distance. In spring
these rootlets throw up fine sprouts,
which are esteemed a delicacy. Poor
Japanese obtain from the woody stems of
the same plant an edible starchy sub
stance which they call warabiko. In
Normandy the root stocks of this species
of fern are ground UP and mixed with
flour for bread for the sake of their bitter
taste-to which however, one must be-
come accustomed in order to like it. The
fbers of these root stocks in Japan are
used for making kind of rope which,
while very strong, resists the action of
water. 1t does not rot. as does ordinary
rope when constantly wet. A species of
fern that grows wild in swampy places in
Japan is much valued for food, its young
leaves being gathered in late spring by
women and children and cooked as vege-
table. This variety il found also In the
United States.
