VIRTUE OF TURTLE SOUP.
One Of the Features of the London
Lord Mayors Banquet.

From the New York Sun.
Three hundred quarts of turtle soup
were served at the lord mayors banquet
at the Guildhall. Turtle soup is asso-
ciated primarily with lord mayors ban
quets and other city feasts. and Cog and
Magog, the twin deities of the city of
London, are popularity believed to have
been nurtured upon 1t. The culinary val
ue of the turtle was known at an early
date. Henry Pitman, who was condemned
for something or other, and transported
to the Barbados, from which he escaped
in an open boat to a desolate island, was
the first Ensiishman to acqualnt his
countrymen with the true value of the
gigantic .'shellfsh." The turtle has often
been made the butt Of joke; it is told
for instance of Sir Philip Francis, a nota-
BILE gourmand of his time, that, being at
city feast, he enviously watched his
neighbor, who was busy eating a bowl of
fat for the bonnie bouche. Sir Philip. un-
able at last to resist 1t, seized the deli
cate morsel with his fork, and transferred
1t to his mouth. and then, giving the
stranger his card. said: Sir, am ready
to make You the most ample apology,
but must say you had no right to throw
such temptation in my way" Again.
mnay years ago, when John Wilkes was
present at Guildhall dinner, he called
out to Alderman Boydell (of Shakespeare
Iame): MI Alderman, snail help you
to a plate Of turtle or a slice OF the
haunch. l am within reach of both. SIR
Neither one nor t'other I thank you,
sir" replied Boydell: Il shall dine upon
the beans and bacon, which are at this
end Of the table" Another alderman was
asked the same question, and replied in
the same terms. This was too much for
the old chamberlain, who rose from his
seat, and with every mark OF astonish-
ment in his face, called out. "Silence,'
which being obtained, he thus addressed
the chief magistrate, who sat in his chair
My Lord Mayor! The wicked have ac-
cused us of intemperance and branded
us with the imputation Of gluttony. That
they may be put to open shame and their
profane tongues be from this day utterly
silenced. l. humbly move tnat your lord
ship command the proper officer to record
on our annals that two aldermen Of the
city Of London prefer beans and bacon to
turtle soup or venisOH.'

The Schorfhaide.

From the London Chronicle.
Within the imperial preserves where the
kaiser and his guests have secured 800
deer in one day is the Schorfha.de. which
each year toward the month of November
becomes the meeting place of thousands
of stays. This annual assemblage on the
Schorfhaide has taken place every au-
tumn for centuries past Mention thereof
has been found in documents more than Il
thousand years old. All sorts of theories
have been put forward to account for 1t.
Some natives say that the animals meet
to decide matters affecting the leadership
Of their various clans 1t seems hard to
account otherwise for the attraction
which brings stays and their mates from
Gaiicia on the Russian border: from the
Liechtenstein game preserves south Of
Vienna. and from the still larger estates
in Hungary belonging to the Archduke
Frederick. all the way to the Schorf-
haide.
