and the woodchick. which are lean and
unsavory except for few months in
the fall. or the muskrat, which Is never
fat, and which has strong flavor in
spite Of parboiling. the hedgehog is al
ways in an edible condition, and has
meat that is as tender and white as
that of spring chicken.
The method of cooking a hedgehog
is so simple that a novice can learn
in one short lesson. When the cpl
cure is permitted to make choice he
should shun the large. old males.
which at times weigh 80 or 40 pounds.
The preparation consists in removing
the viscera. washing out the interior
and filling the cavity with slices Of
fat pork. peeled raw potatoes. sprigs
of spearmint and wild celery from the
brook.
Then, without removing the quills
of skinning. the body is plastered thick
ly with wet clay. from the nearest
bank. The muddy. bulky mass is
thrust into live Goals and covered
with blazing fagots. to be roasted for
two hours.
On removal from the Goals. the clay
is found to have been baked into a
hard and solid mass, which must be
broken open with an ak or heavy
stone, whereupon the skin and quills
of the animal cling to the clay wrap
ping and fall away. leaving the clean.
white meat ready to be eaten.
Ten years ago the Maine legislature
passed law providing for bounty
of 25 cents head on all dead hedge
hogs brought to the town clerks An
appropriation Of $500 for each of the
years 1901 and 1902 was made, but
when the total for the two bounty
years reached $4,000, the legislature
quickly repealed the law.

HEDGEHOG FIT FOR EPIcURE
Maine Advocates Say Bounties Caused
Great Waste Of Good Food-Pre-
ferred to Skunk or Muskrat.

Machias, Melt is a shame" says
a lover Of hedgehog meat, that the
people Of Maine have remained in ig-
norance regarding the delights of eat
ing roasted hedgehog for so long. If
they had been utilized as food those
100000 dead hedgehogs for which
Maine has paid out $3S.O0O in boun-
ties would have kept two regiments
of soldiers in meat for six weeks. 1t
was a cruel and wanton waste of pre-
cious food"
The advocates of hedgehog meat as
part of the regular bill of fare assert
that in England the average poacher
prefers hedgehog to hare for break
fast. In Michigan the legislature has
placed perpetual close time on hedge
hogs, so that persons lost In the woods
and without food may find meat to sat
isfy their hunger and kill 1t without
the aid Of shotgun or rifle. 1t is as
serted on good authority that more
than 20 men are saved from starving
in Michigan every year because hedge.

Plan to Aid Poor With $2o,ooo,-
600 Cocos Treasure.

San Francisco.-Although numerous
tales involving the search for hidden
treasure on the little island called
Rica, have been related, none is as
strange as that told upon the arrival
here of the steamship Stanley Dollar
from Ancon.
Seven men and two women were
taken from Ancon aboard the Stanley
Dollar and landed upon the treasure
island. which for over half a century
has been the Mecca for adventurers
from all over the world. The party
possesses two tons Of supplies, boats
and chart of the treasure.
Not only is the band of adventurers
led by the women, but in case the
search for the reputed $4,000, 900
treasure is successful the entire
amount is to be used for the benefit
of the London poor. Mrs. B. Till.
commander in chief, is the widow of a
noted London clergyman. while Miss
l.. B. Davis. the chief aid to Mrs.
Till, is said to be a literary woman Of
note.
Intensely religious, both women
have been connected with philan-
thropic work In London for the last
decade. and 1t is with the expectation
of SO expending the vast lost wealth
of the Peruvians that the expedition
was organized. The women believe
1t especially appropriate that the
treasure should be used for religious
purposes, for the bulk of 1t was taken
from the Lima cathedral when the
Peruvian capital was threatened by
Chileans.
For safe keeping all the altar
pieces, consisting of the rails, images,
the Madonna and the IL apostles, were
placed on board the American ship
Mary Deer. The figures were all Of
solid gold and life sized. Besides
there were millions in precious gems.
The manner in which the chart came
into the possession OF the women is
strange. Cared for during his last Ill.

Davis. an aged and dying former pi-
