story at the recent banquet of the
Chicago Association of Commerce at
the Hotel Sherman. "A little Jewish
boy went to his father on Christmas

Upon receiving it he sauutered out

"'But why did you do all that?' de-
manded the father.

FEWER ST0RKS IN ALSACE
System of Registration Is Being Tried
to Learn About Migratory
Habits.

Every year the number of storks
to be seen in Alsace becomes less OF
the four nests perched on the big
chimneys on the old roofs of Strass-
burg. only one has been occupied this
year.
In many of the villages the great
migrators have ceased for long time
to relieve the landscape, and it seems
only a question Of time when the stork
in Alsace will be memory. Various
are the causes assigned for this de-
sertion-the draining OF the marshes,
the multiplication OF telephone and
telegraph wires and the smoke from
factory chimneys.
In Germany for the better study OF
storks there has been created sort
OF service in connection with the Edu-
cation Department which tends to set
up an "etat civil" for each bird, or,
in other words, to register them after
the manner which obtains for citizens
in France.
Each bird is captured where posi-
BILE and a metallic disk affixed to its
leg, and German officials, wherever
the birds are believed to migrate, have
instructions to send to the department
any information they can gather con-
corning storks who are German sub
jects. POSSIBLY this labelling may
have something to do with the scare
ity) BY this system OF registration
the authorities have learned some
thing of the migratory habits OF the
bird; for instance, one was found dead
at the Cape of Good Hope whose place
of origin was eastern Prussia.
A point OF interest relative to the
scarcity OF the stork has been brought
under the notice OF the German au-
thorities by a doctor at Port Eliza
beth. who suggests that they have
been poisoned through eating grass
hoppers or locusts which have been
killed by arsenic. A correspondent,
however of an Alsace-Lorraine jour
nal hints that the cause is to be found
nearer at home.

CRABS WALK OF SO MILES
HonIng Instinct Is Shown by Some
Recent Experiments In
England.

Some remarkably interesting de-
tails regarding the movements and the
homing instinct of the edible crab
we're presented to the Eastern Sea
Fisheries Committee. During the
past two years Fishery Inspector II.
Donnison has been carrying out in
vestigations on behalf Of the com.
mittee, and the results OF his work
cannot fail to be of considerable use
to those concerned in biological re-
search.
In the course of an exhaustive re-
port he stated that between July and
September, 1910, nearly two thousand
crabs were captured, and after being
labeled were again set free along the
Norfolk and Lincolnshire coasts. The
crabs had recently cast their shells,
and new ones we're then in process
of hardening.
Rewards we're paid to fishermen
upon returning the crabs when recap
tured. They were returned to the sea
at varying distances from the shore
and up to the present Il per cent OF
the labeled crustaceans had been re-
captured and full data tabulated
With regard to the Norfolk crabs
liberated in the places from which
they were originally obtained, fifty
two were recaptured within one mile
Of their first home, but one Travelled
as far as Marlborough Head, a dis
lance of ninety-eight statute miles.
Nearly three hundred had Travelled

ROMANCE CT KETTLE
Tale Told Of the Sugar Bush in
New England.
3reat Iron Pots Of Pioneers Passed
Before Flat Pans With Its Par
ties Merry With Song
and Dance.

New York.-The romance of the
sugar bush makes spring in the Adj
-ondacks one of the most interesting
periods of the year. For time out OF
mind sugar weather" has been the
designation of warm days and cold
nights in the early spring, before the
snow is gone, and "the sugar SHOWS
nave been the heavy, great-faked, and
almost early April MINDLESS storms.
Maple sugar is Inherited from the In
dams; perhaps 1t would be better to
say spoils from the forest Indians of
the east. The Puritans found the In
dams making maple sugar by the
primitive method of dropping red-hot
stones in watertight baskets full Of
sap gathered from gashed naples in
the hardwood. The Puritans knew
good thing when they saw it, and they,
too, made maple sugar, and In the
sugar bush, in the melting SHOWS Of
spring, were enacted many of the
.horrid tragedies of the New England
when the Indians came raid
ing out of the New Hampshire, Yer
mont, and other back lands into
which they had been forced by the
advance of the white men. The In
dian war parties carried parched corn
and maple sugar to eat.
When the pioneers moved westward,
they carried with them great iron ket-
ties which served so many useful
purposes; which held the hot water in
which hogs were scalded in the fall;
which held the sap and syrup in the
spring; which were used to boil down
the soft soap in the spring and sum-
mer, and which served for apple and
other fruit buffers when the fruit har-
vest was at hand. In these days some
of the descendants of the old pioneers
have these old kettles on tripods in
their front yards, full of earth and
green with plants during the summer
months, for the day of the old sugar
kettle is nearly gone, pans having
taken their places.
With the passing of the kettle, much
of the romance of the sugar bush pass

The pioneer had his sugar-bush

The era of paper bag cooking, which

to the wife OF the workingman, the
clerk or other employe on small
salary, not only in the quantity of the
dishes she may prepare, but in more
leisure for herself.
Lest any frugal house mother may
be appalled, at the prospect of having
to use some two or three bags before
she can produce dinner, let me state
that all the following recipes, each Of
which have tested personally, can be
cooked in one bag, leaving only the
pudding, pie or tart to be considered.
In drawing up these dinners for a
week | have had in mind a household
consisting of mother, father and three
or four children, ranging from twelve
to five years of age.
1t must be borne in mind that meat
wastes practically not at all during the
cooking process in the bag; therefore,
if you put four pounds into the bag,
four pounds will come out.
