A DISH OF SNAILs.
They Have q Flavor Wholly Different
From Any Other Food.

1t Is a mistake to think that snails
are eaten only by the French They
have been known and used to Ger.
tain extent by the English ever since
the days when snaiIs boiled In milk
were esteemed remedy for cOnsumr.
ton, and it has been said that Ger.
tain breed OF snail now found In Sur
rev. England. was imported by one OF
the earls Of Arundel for use OF his
failing wife.
One Of the recipes for cooking snails
ia indicated by the verse Of Edmund
Spenser. which runs:
With our sharp weapons we shall thee
fray.
And take the cas- till that thou Hest in.
We shall thee fay out of thy foule skin.
And in a dish. with onyons and pepper.
We shall thee dresse with strong vyne-
care
If you have never eaten snails, and
the majority Of persons who will read
this have not. it is difficult to compre-
bend what the snail tastes like. 1t Is
difficult, If not impossible, to describe
q flavor or scent without comparison
to something already known by the
person to whom one would transmit
the information. and 1t Is said by an
authority on snails that they have an
original kind of flavor. not in the least
like anything else. To be ut his best
the snail should be young and in
vigorous and robust health. If improp-
erly cooked he will be tough: II prop
erly cooked he will be tender.
Snail culture in France is profitable.
A single snail can produce sixty little
snnils in a season. but birds like them.
frost kills them and some may run. or
crawl. away. \ French Newspaper re-
Gently published the Information that
half million first quality" snails,

yet Of a magniticence of dimensions
and Of populousness far beyond al
earlier conceptions. This assumption
is result Ut very recent Investigations
into the motions and distances OF the
stars.
The latest studies on the subject of
| the number as wei! as the light of the
stars have been made at the royal OBJ
servatory at Greenwich. England. The
late Franklin Adams succeeded in u,ak.
ing set Ut 2O6 photographs covering
the entire sky. After counts were
made ON these pictures. from which the
brightness Of the self luminous bodies
between practically the twelfth ana
seventeenth magnitudes could be In.
ferred. II was concluded that they
recorded about 55.OOO.OOO stars.
From this a formula was determined
showing the change OF number IN
passing from one magnitude to an
other With these figures 1t was rea.
soned that the aggregate Number OF
stars Ia not less than 1.OOO.OOOOOO.
probably not more than 2.OOO.OOOOOO.
and probably approximately l.6OOOOO.-

on this stock, but Kaufman Bros. Sc
cured it.

moving this stock from the Tucke
store to that of the Kaufman Bros.
corner, the merchandise being escort

carried large signs conveying the i'm

this stock for Aberdeen, instead of
permitting an outside city to get it.

OFFICIAL VISIT
Congressman and Indian Com.
missioner and Party Visit
Quiniault Indians

A party headed by DR.. Samuel A.
Eliot of Boston, Indian commissioner,
and Congressman Albert Johnson, to-
day will visit the Indian town of Ia
holah at the mouth of the Quiniault
river, hold a conference with the In
dians, inspect their surroundings and
investigate their conditions. Includ-
ed in the party are Tom Bishop, half
blood Indian attorney and Rev. Mar
shall Dawson, Tacoma, j. e. Calder
and Eldridge Wheeler, Montesano; j.
w. Parks and F. r. Archer, Aber-
deem; w. w. Kurtz, w. e. Campbell,
Rev. J. w. Beard and Nose Freeland
of Hoquiam.
The party, which went to Moclips
on last evenings train, left
that place early this morning by
teams and drove up the beach to the
reservation town. They expected to
arrive early this forenoon and will
spend the greater part of the day at
the reservation. Lunch will be taken
at Taholah They will return to
Moclips and spend tonight and will
return in the morning, Congressman
Johnson accompanying DR.. Eliot back
as far as Tacoma where big Indian
meeting will be held Saturday.
The conditions and needs of the
Indians at Taholah will be carefully
Investigated today by DR.. Eliot and
Mr.. Johnson so they may make a
thorough report on their return to
Washington, d. c. A number of things
have been asked for for the Quin-
iauaalts, including agency buildings
at Taholah and roads. Another thing
to be taken up will be the protection
of the fishing rights on the Quiniault
river for the Indians, which it Is
feared may by some chance pass out
of their hands.
