PARIS GETS SNAILS
FROM ALPS GARDENS

Snail gardens in the Alps supply the
Parisians with their favorite delicacy.
Each garden contains from $1,000 to about
100000 snaiis In the latter part of June
men, women and children begin collecting
the snails in tho forests. whence they are
taken I'm boxes TO the gardens, usually on
the hilsides. The gardens are fenced in
with wire and strewn with moss in which
the snaIis burrow in cold weather and in
drought.
Fresh lettuce. laid on tho moss in the
midst Of a throng Of snails. which are
apparently crawling about aimlessly, but
are really seeking food. is promptly sur
rounded by a ring Of snnils Fastening
toward Il from every direction. Snails eat
with the aid OF ribbon-shaped tongue.
which is set with fine sharp teeth and
is used like rasp. A loud rustling and
cracking noise is heard when thousands
Of snals arc feeding together on their
lettuce, endive, cabbage. dandelion leaves
and chopped kohlrabi Nettles. clover and
potatoes are also eaten.
Constant care alone prevents the es-
cape OF tho snails, which collect beside
the low fence in heaps as high as the
fence itself. Snails are famous for slow
moving. but they can travel more than z
yards in a warm rainy night, so tho
snail farmer must rise at dawn or earliei
to recapture the fugitves. Most OF th'
fugitives travel uphill, toward the forest
or with the wind But other snails escap
ing pursue an opposite course. Many
farmers believe that the snails have som'
way OF determining the direction OF th'
forests They cannot SEQ the forest, bu
they may be informed OF its proxlmit!
by the humidity and peculiar odor OF th'
air
The eyes OF the snail are carried Of
long. extensible stalks, which are in

Baek to the "Johasy Cake. ,

4 reader Of the New York Tribune
 makes suggestion to that paper "lhat
 a national crusade might well be start cd In favor of our native American ce- real. He feels that the credit k not given to the golden ears which have
 made the fertile valleys of the Middle West seritabie mines of gold that their food value Is not properly appreciated and that the kernels which make the country's pork and build the bone and sinew of the steer, are not utilized by human beings as they ought to be. He reminds us that there Is no occasion for becoming excited over wheat cor ners, present of prospective, so long as the cribs of the farmers are bnlging with corn.
 There can be no question that strong minds and vigorous bodies have been noufished on this !" homelyn food and many man whose digestive apparatus hss been clegge.i by the highly refined product of modern mills, would be bel ter oil If he would return To the staple
 of his fofeiathers.
 While the use ol corn in liquid form has not diminished notably, even nn-
 der the prohibition laws now m force
 tn many States, there has been a nuts-
 bic propoTtionale decrease in the quan-
 tity of corn products used tor human
 food. To a certain extent this may be due to the large foreign element intro dueed into the country. Ter coming from lands where the use of corn as an article of diet Is practically unknown. and finding wheat plentiful and fairly cheap, they never learn to appreciate the merits of an article which was dear to the founders ef the Republic.
 \ campaign ef education along this line might possibly succeed, and II the continued high price of wheat turned the attention ef that portion of the public which finds eating necessary, to the merits notsonly of corn but rye bread, the end might almost justify the useanS.

Early 1rsde EduestIon for Boys.

The direct relation between indus trial education, as embodied in the yo- eationaI school, and adult unempioy- ment was pointed out effectively by the British Premier in his recent Glas- gov speech. In reality, MT. Asquith depicted the conditions in other coun- tries us we'll as in his own. in saying Il A vast amount Of unemployment, under-empioyment, or casual labor they all mean the same thing-whieh exists in this country is due to boys leaving school early, being trained 10 no particular trade, being employed in the years between l4 and IS upon every kiIv Of casual job, and finding them selves then displaced by younger boys than themselves and turned out with out any real fitting 10 undertake the battle of life.s
 The Premier showed his grip on the problem, finally, by announcing his conviction that the slate, by the eAer- else of compulsory powers, should make such children attend continua- ton schools, al least in the evening, and thus give them training for a specific calling.
