Have a Snail?

Recently a teacher was reprimanded
for offering one of her pupils penny
to cat a snail. 1t happened to be Just
an ordinary snail and the teacher con-
fessed that she did not know at the
time that the snails people ate were of
o different kind.
The edible snail is a very different
kind of snail from that which the av-
erage man is continually clearing out
|of mis- back garden. though 1t is rath-
er similar in appearances. 1t is, how
ever, about five times as large as the
ordinary garden snail. The best for
the table come from Burgundy. where
they are gathered by the hundred thou

These snails during the season cost
from fivepence to sixpence dozen. A

self underground to pass the winter.
Another mistake the teacher made,
besides choosing the wrong kind OF
snail. was to get one of her pupils u
eat it raw. Edible snails are never
eaten raw, but are always drilled or
boiled.
They are cooked and eaten ID "a
ons ways. In Paris dozen snails are
served piping hot on dish, and they
are extracted from their shells with q
special snail fork and eaten whole. In
parts Of France the cooked dainty Is
chopped up with butter and herbs be-
fore being eaten. In Marseilies the

ADVENTISTS WILL HOLD A
MEETING IN WASHINGTON

Seventh-day Adventists In various
parts of Kansas are looking forward
with much interest to the quadren-
NAL meeting of the general confer
ence of that denomination which
will be held in Washington, d. c.
May Is to June g., and which will
bring together believers in the faith
from all parts of the world. A dele
CATION of 26 members will represent
the Central Union Conference which
takes in the states of Wyoming, Col
orado, Kansas, Nebraska and Mis-
souri,.
Every state in the Union will be
represented by delegates; in fact,
every country on the globe. All OF
the leading ministers in the United
States and Canada will be among
those in attendance. The leaders
of the denomination in Europe and
Australia, as well as those OF the
mission stations in Africa, Asia, and
the islands of the sea, will also
come. Black-skinned and yellow
sinned men and women, wkho have
been reclaimed to Christ from heath
enism, some of them having been
among man-eating tribes, are ex-
pected to lend Importance to the
power of the gospel by their pres
sence. In. fact, the gathering will
be made up of commingling of
races, such as probably has never
been seen in the past in meeting
of this sort.

Alfred had a long-felt desire

He is an attractive, dark-hairedr

does not play ragtime. He says ne
