A VERY QUEER BIRD.
The One Young Mark Twain Sprung
Upon the Scientists.

Upon the SCientIStS.
Mark Twain'S father was an orni-
biologist. He had several friends who
were also enthusiasts on the subject of
birds. Whenever any one Of them dis
coverel a rara avis it was the custom
to have consultation. Mark had been
4 witness of several of these bird in
quests and had noted the delight the
old men took in discussing new
found specimen. One day it occurred
to him to provide the Hannibal orni-
biologists with a real circus in the
form of a bird. He killed a crow and
also a barnyard rooster. Plucking out
the tail feathers of both the crow and
the rooster. he substituted the roost-
er's tail feathers for those of the crow,
producing a unique effect. When he
had the specimen nicely prepared he
went to his father and. handing it to
him, said:
Here. father. is a very curious bird
| shot. I thought you would be inter-
ested in it,"
The old gentleman gaZed upon the
specimen with establishment. That
evening the ornithologists of Hannibal
were assembled in Mr.. Clemens par
lor. The rare specimen was put be-
fore them. The discussion was long
and learned. The opinions expressed
were various. One thought the bird
was an OffshOot of the bird of para
disc family; others had equally ridicu-
louS notions as to its ancestry. But
there was one who refused to be
swerved by the popularity of the
birds tail from the judgment that it
was of the crow family.
why, just look here" he said. lift
ing the bird by its tail feathers. He
got no further. The feathers came

door. Mr.. Clemens started to leave

HINDU METHODS OF COOKING.
Said to Save Nutriment In Vegetables
That Americans Lose

In India it is literally case of be-
ing a vegetarian or starving, for the
Hindus of Hindustan, taking them al
most as a whole, are cnjoined by their
religion to abstain from eating meat.
They are not allowed even to open the
shell of an egg because by so doing
they would destroy the life within it.
Thus they are compelled to subsiSt on
vegetarian diet or go hungry. But
il the cooks of India were to prepare
their vegetables for the table as do the
women of America, writes Saint Nihal
Singh i'm the Nautilus, it is certain that
the Hindus would be meat eaters-it
would be impossible for them to live
on n vegetarian diet.
This for an essential reason. The
well as the vitality out of the vege-
tables and throws it away. The Occi-
dental cook declares this operation is
necessary, as the flavor of the veSeta-
bles is too strong and pronounced if the
water is not drained away from it. Be
that as it may the result is that the
food has lost much of its nutriment and
is useless to build up or sustain the
body. Moreover, the boiling process
renders the dish more or less insepid in
flavor.
The East Indian cook works on di-
rectly opposite principle. The woman
of India is taught that the food must be
cooked in its own steam, or with just
enough water to generate steam to
cook it, and every drop of moisture
must be evapOrated before the food is
served unless it is to be eaten with a
gravy or Shorba, in which case n small
quantity of liquid is allowed to remain
on it.
But as a usual thing not a drop Of
water is drained away. This would
be looked upon as positively sacrleg-
ious and wasteful by the East Indians.
every day what would keep an East
Indian family from starvation.
This fact was demonstrated when
during a siege the Indian soldiers re-
quested that the water in which the
rice was cooked alone should be issued
to them. while the rice itself might be
served to the English soldiers. This
was done. and the native sepoys appar-
emily were as well as their white
brothers.
