SnarroW Pies.

Jacob Riis describes in one OF his
delightful essays how the good old
houseteeper in his Danish home used
to climb to the caves to rob the spar
rows nests for a delectable pie. Now
Mr., James Hunt Of Philadelphia, who
IS crusading against the English spar
row, advocates the pie as the true des-
tiny of the sparrow. He furnished the
snarrows for such a pie opened in
washington recently at n luncheon
served by the Philadelphia Public Led
ger.
The guests declared that the pie was
good. and the flavor Of the sparrow
was superior to chicken and equal to
partridge. Washington boys found this
out long ago in their secret sparrow
roasts, where dozens of these tidbits
were spitted on wires before the blaze
and devoured by these food pirates.
Cleaning a sparrow is a simple mat
ter of cutting the breast away from al
other parts and skinning. Special traps
are used for catching sparrows. These
are set near favorite rookeries anC
dozens of sparrows are caught at 6
time.
