Snaiis Very Nutritious.

"All snails are edible and nutritious -
says Canon Hershey in book on Brit
ISL land and fresh water molluscs. He
goes on to say that even the common
or garden snail, though insipid. is as
nourishing as calf's foot jelly.
There is large white shelled snail
called Helix pomatia that is commonly
eaten by connoisseurs in the south of
England, while all over France, Italy
and Spain several species are used as
food. In France are many small farms
which yield good profit to their own
ers. In the French and Italian quar-
tiers of New York snails may be bought
either alive or cooked, and at most of
the French restaurants they are served
"escargots farcis" being the most usual
form of dish.
Snails are easy to raise in large guam
titles. They need lime for making their
shells, but they do not have to be fed,
as they can find their own food, which
is exclusively the leaves Of many
plants. They are most delicious when
properly prepared and cooked, and, as
Canon Hershey says, as nourishing as
calf's foot jelly.

me this morning, in the twilight of

moved and charmed me once and then
had fallen back with time into the cat

was confused-place, occasion and the

nor the expression. The whole was
like duttering veil, under which the
enigma-the secret of happiness-might
have been hidden. And / was awake
enough to be sure it was not dream.

Divorces Are Costly In Canada.

Canada's divorce court is never en-

There is no record of a poor man
ever getting a divorce in the Dominion.
it is said. The average cost of di-
vorce in Canada is $4,000, and the de-
cree is granted for only one offense-
marital infidelity.
The legislature at Ottawa appoints
a divorce committee each session, and
all cases are settled by this committee.
There is no appeal in a divorce action.
Those living in the western part of
the Dominion have to pay much more
for a decree than those living in the
east because of the heavier travelling
xpenses.-DetrOit Tribune.

on Ludlow street, south of Grand, is
the wholesale market of the apple ped
dlers. Here there is an animated scene
men wildly shouting and gesticulat-

apple barrels. 1t is almost impossible
to pass along even in the street for the
dozens of peddlers' carts lined up there
Suddenly there is commotion, and
crowd gathers at the curb. A barrel
of apples is on sale, bids rise at pen
ny bid, and finally the highest bidder
carries off his prize. Everywhere are
barrels overlooking with cheerful red
and yellow apples which the peddlers
will carry off to peddle in other parts
of the city. The wholesale apple deal
ers rent Easements along this street in
which to store their wares. In the
morning they bring out and strew the
barrels all over the narrow, dingy
stretch of Ludlow street.
