GET RICH BY WAR.
French Snail Farmers Drawing Heavy
Prices.

Paris, March l3.--French snail farmers
are making tidy fortunes out of the war.
More than half the French supply of this
delicacy has been cut off by the German
occupation Of Luxembourg, Belgium and
northern France, and the market price
has risen accordingly. The demand for
snails has also been stimulated by the
new food regulations, which class snails
with oysters as a "hors d'ruvre," of
which one may eat as much as one
wishes.
As many as half million first quality
snails, worth SIS to $40 a thousand, can
be reared on an acre of land. They have
to be fed only once day, preferably in
the evening A bed of 100000 snails will
consume wagon load of cabbages in Il
few minutes, and the noise which they
make at their repast is like nothing else
in the world.

SERVANTS REJECT FARE
And Are Now Allowed to Board Them
selves in Great Britain.

London, March l3.-One result of the
voluntary rationing system now in force
in this country has been that a large
number of families in the fashionable
quarters of London have put their ser
wants on board wages, which means that
instead of giving board to servants the
householder pays them so much a week
and let's them board themselves. The
reason for the change is that the servants
refused to eat the restricted meals served
to others in the household. Board wages
are now generally IL or l6 shillings a
week.
