THE EDIBLE BIRDS NEST.
Demand Exceeds Supply and Commo
dity Sells as High as S25
Pound.

Edible birds nests are found in the
stands off the coast of Siam and are
the products of species of birds be-
| longing to the family of swifts. The
nests consist almost entirely of the
Salivary secretion of these birds.
whose salivary glands are much more
developed than those of the ordinary
swift. The season for the gathering
of the nests begins in April and ends
in September.
The female bird, occasionally as
sisted by the male, makes the nest
About three months are spent by the
birds in completing their first nest.
which is taken by the nest gatherer
before eggs are laid in it; then the
birds Immediately begin to make an
other nest, which is finished in about
thirty days. and which is also taken
Finally a third nest is made in about
three months. in which the bird is al
lowed to rear it's offspring. after
which this nest is also gathered. Each
family of birds thus furnishes three
nests in one season. The nests taken
at the beginning Of the season are
considered the best in quality.
Most of these edible nests are con-
sumed by the Chinese, who regard
them, not only as a great table deli
cacy, but also as a valuable tonic
medicine in neurasthenia and pulmOn-
airy disorders. 1t is said that the de
mand in Hongkong for the nests
exceeds the supply and that prices
range from SIS to s25 per pound. ac-
cording to quality.

USING THE CHATTING DISH.
How One Housekeeper Tides Over the
Maids Absence on Thursday.

Neither the gas range nor the oil
stove has succeeded in banishing the
chatting dish from well appointed ia
bles There is a difference between
frequent absences from the room and Il
$, stem whereby the mistress of the
home merely fits among her guests or
the family, without disturbing CONVEX
sation. and that can be accomplished
by the chatting dish and some prepara-
tory planning.
The manner in which a few women
tide over the maids absence on Thurs
day is worth talking about. The dinner
table is laid by the maid, who prepares
the food as far as she Is able. The
dessert is made and left in the refri-
gerator, and the salad ingredients
washed and chilled Generally the sa-
lad dressing is made in the morning,
as are cake and pudding sauces. The
housewife places the china needed for
the meal on the serving table and
leaves a place in the pantry or closet or
on the sideboard for sOiled dishes, to
be carried to the kitchen at the close
of the meal.
When she is ready to begin her chat
ing dish cooking-On the dining room
table-she has everything at hand. and
if the process is a lengthy one it is
started far enough before the dinner
hour to be ready to serve when want
ed. There is no need of mOnOtOny in
the Thursday bill of fare, for the num-
Der of chatting dish recipes has never
vet been estimated. Steak, chops, fish,
ham and bacon can be as well cooked
in this way as over bed of Goals, ana
there are the many egg dishes and the
combinations of cooked meat and Vege-
tables Boston Herald.

SIXTEEN MILLION AMERICAN
SCHOOL CHILDREN.

This is a country of great opportu =
mites and one Of the greatest Oppor-
tunities that it offers is that of edu
cation. Education smooths the way
for future success by preparing the
individual for efficient service The
advances in education during the past
few decades have been remarkable in
quality and in quantity. A consider
alton of educational statistics for the
past score of years will substantiate
this statement as far as measurable
progress is concerned Twenty years
ago the number of school teachers in
the United States was 272,000 and the
number of pupils in the schools was
close to 100000. An enormous in
crease characterizeS the current fig
ures More than half a million
teachers of both sexes are now en-
gagged in instructing 100000 stu
dents. In other words, the magnitude
of the American school system is
demonstrated by the statement that it
has more than doubled i'm less than
a quarter of n century. The educa
tional bill of the United States now
reaches the round annual sum of
$350.000,000. as against the approx
mate sum of $125,0OO,O 900 in 1883. 1t is
interesting to learn that Philadelphia
will have nearly as many pupils in
it's schools next week as there were
teachers in all the states and terri
tories two decades ago.-Philadelphia

is all new. 1t was built At cost Of
$3,500,000 The program Will be given
by 400 performers Most of them are
from Europe and are making their first
tour of America.
There is no question as to the SUI
poriority Of this show. For fiftyfive
years it has set Il pace that no other
circus has been able to follow. There
is no country on earth where it is not
as well known as in America. There
is not a city of any size in the United
States, Canada, Europe or Asia where
at some time it has not pitched its
fourteen acres OF tents. Nobility has
apprauded it, Oriental kings ana pOten-
tates have admired it. The peasantry
has found delight in its appearance
The world has long recognized it as the
head Of all amusement affairs.
The management has agents in ali
the large cities of the earth. They are
constantly searching for novelties and
curios. They keep in touch with the
foremost talent of the earth and keep
the circus supplied with fresh acts and
new sensations. 1t is the only circus
in the world that has it's own animal
trappers and jungle hunters. BY its
enterprise in this respect it has been
the first to attract scientists by its up
to-date menagerie.
No sooner does a novelty present l.
self in the audience rooms AMI arenas
of the old world than an agent secures
it for exploitation in America. These
alert men are always first on the scene.
They were unusually fortunate last
winter i'm their selections as visitors
will see when they sit on the grand

PROSPECTS FINE FOR
GREATER W|CKENBURC
The City Is Now Manned With a Full
Municipal Crew.

Governor Sloan yesterday settled the
internal troubles of Wickenbug town
by appointing a mayor and four al
dermen to take charge of the municipal
machine and keep it in operation.
The councilmen are c. w. Plat, J. j
Orozoco, oscar Jennings and William
Beatsch.
Wickenburg got all tangled up on
the occasion of the last municipal cleo
ton There was such dissatisfaction
with what occurred that the election
was contested and the case was taken
into court. The court found the stu
alton such that the election was de
Clared null and void and the offices
vacant. Under the law it is the duty
of the governor to fill vacancies in such
cases, and he has now done SO.
Wickenburg, like san Francisco,
Pittsburg and other great cities that
have endured municipal upheaval and
survived ii, should now embark on a
period of unprecented prosperity. 1t is
hoped that in the next year its pOpu-
lation and wealth will be doubled and
that all the new Corners will be repub-
lican. That may be a little rosy. but
when a town undertakes anything
worth while it may as well do it thor

A JOHN BROWN POEM.


cat the time of the John Brown
raid on Harper's Ferry a student at
Oberlin college (Ohio) named y. b
Nettleton wrote a poem for the ODER
lin Students Monthly apropos of the
John Brown episode. The young man
Nettleton became Gen. \. Il. Ncttle-
ton, we'll known as an officer of the
civil war and now chairman of the
National Association of Surviving
Union Volunteer Officers. The poem
referred to dated December ,, 1850
has never since been reprinted until
now. 1t is as follows:)
JOHN BROWN.
Somewhere in volume old
a legend by the priests is told
4 sanity superstition
That when a martyr dies by fire
An angel with a golden Tyre
Takes an unseen position.
Beside the green wood pyre of pain,
And with a sweet though voiceless
strain
The silent air surprises,
And builds a ladder to the sky
With quivering bars of melody
Up which the hero rises.
We in a later, better age,
Without the help of priestly page,
May tell a nobler story;
How from the Hero-felon's grave
A Peoples anthem, wave on wave,
Bears upward wreathed in glory.
The spirit of the brave Old Man
Whom Ages in their Frightening span
Shall crown the earth-redeemer
OF millions in this Land of Wrong
Nay, tits no single harp nor song
Translates the gray haired Dreamer
