CASTING ON SNAILS.
AN ANCIENT ROMAN CUSTOM ADOPT"
; ED INTO. FRANCE.

The snail as en article of diet generally
Is associated with the French nation. As
a matter of fact.' It is a dietetic legacy
from the ancient Romans, who were, according-to
John' Bull, from whose tradi
tions of the tablej the American nation
U almost emancipated, "nawsty feeders."
The taste for snaBs mast have lingered
among- the peasantry of "All Gaul" for
centuries after the! departure of the, Ro
man eagles, but it was not until 1814 that
the tables of culture and refinement in
France adopted them formally. The man
who had the andaclty to make an aristo
crat of the snail was the Prince' de Tal-leyrand-Perigord,
A member of a family
noted eren onto this day for originality
bordering on- whimsicality and for dar
ln& or perhaps "nerve" , might be a good
word, In the illustration of that origi
nality, j.. : j " " , ' ..."
Talleyrand-Perigord, after the return
of Louis XVIII, entertained the Emper
or Alexander I of Russia at a great tkh
litical dinner. The prince had in his Serv
ice the best chef in Paris, whom he had
bribed by the promise of higher wages to
leave "his former master, Cambacerea.
The cook was named Anacreon. The
prince I recollected a delicious dish of
snails which lie had eaten in Vienna (al
though: merely in passing it may . be men
tioned that he would not have recognized
that city, by that name). He summoned
Anacreon and gave to him orders on the
subject. The chef cook as the prince
soon found out was pot only aware -already
of the possibilities of the snail, but
bad made a specialty of it as an article
of food while he had been directing the
kitchens of other masters. He accepted
the suggestion that the dish should be
presented "a la bourguignonne."
; The diners, among whom were many
celebrities, hailed Uie preparation with
enthusiasm and ate of it with expressions
of unbounded delight. With it was hand
ed around a neat card, headed "Escar
gots a la bourguignonne plat d' Anacre
on." "Plat d' Anacreon" means "Anacre
on's dish." or "Anacreon's mess," accord
ing to taste. Either translation is good.
This event naturally set the fashion for
this crustacean for it was the shell snail
and a highly bred shell snail, and not the
yellowy white, slimy, naked slug that
was and is "treated" with first rate culi
nary honors.
A snail farmer is a "cultivator" well
recognized in France, and the term is as
sociated with men of wealth and talent
the one acquired by and the other exhib
ited in successful snail raising. In our
own country or in Britain a farmer who
was addressed as "Mr. Snailfarmer"
would be likely to feel insulted. In "la
belle France" he would bow and, if only
a roots and corn farmer, would say:
"Pardon, but I have not that high honor
to be a farmer of snails. Would that I
were." -
A snail farmer was quizzed recently by
a French writer. The escargot man was
in the National library at Paris, reading
with ease Greek and Latin works, when
the reporter found him. On being drawn
into conversation the snail farmer reluc
tantly desisted for awhile from reading
and, with evident annoyance at the un'
toward disturbance, rapidly gave the do
sired information.
He cultivates the snail in the depart
ment of La Sarthe. The products of Bur
gundy are still in the lead, but as the re
sults obtained are dependent upon the
method of sn ailing" followed there is
not really, after all, much 1 choice. The
snails are picked from the hedges and
other places where they abound at the
end of the summer and are then "park
ed" in some grassy inclosure, arranged
in such a manner as to prevent all possi
bility of escaping. The fattening plot has
to be specially chosen, must be shady
and sunny and cultivated with the great
est care. All kinds of delicate and sweet
scented herbs are favorable to the proc
ess, such, for instance, as thyme, mint,
sage, chervil, marjoram, etc. When au
tumn gives place to chilly days and fros
ty nights, the inclosure is strewn with
fine moss, dried leaves, etc., among which
the snails .take shelter and literally shut
themselves up in their shell, closing it by
means of a calcareous substance which
they secrete. This is the time when they
are ready for the market, and they are
then collected and stored in dry cellars.
to be sent off aa required. '
Another essentially French dish is the
one which is covered by the poetic title of .
Nymphes de Bourgogne. It was under
this pseudonym that EscofSer, that past
master in culinary matters, offered this
dainty to English diners and really can
claim the merit of having overcome some
of the British repugnance to the same.
Long before the day when Escoffier
produced a masterpiece which conquered,
at least those English guests who willing
ly partook of it and asked for more the
innocent batrachian nearly spoiled an en
tente cordiale between England and
Spain. In 1863 the commander of the
Ranger had orders to settle some ques
tions with the consul of Spain in some
port on the Guinea coast. After business
transactions had been completed the tra
ditional invitation to dinner was sent out
and accepted. 'Among other dishes there
appeared the one that made Delmonico
famous under the pompous title of "Ba
traciens mubiasante a la Louiaiane."
When the vol-au-vent bad passed round
and been enjoyed three times by the
British officers, some guest had the un
lucky thought of asking what composed
this excellent course. On being told that
frogs made np the luscious preparation
the commander, so the story goes, return
ed to his ship and in the greatest wrath
informed the foreign office that the Brit
ish flag had been insulted by the Spanish
consul. Sir Patrick Campbell, who pro
ceeded to Sierra Leone to arrange the
dispute, wa told the whole truth. Not
only did he hear the tacts, but having
partaken himself of the Insulting vol-au-vent
declared the question settled and
added bis name to the number of eng
lishmen who could honestly approve of

THE TRAGEDY OF A-DUN. -
Aat How St. Peter Toole a Haa Im
the Colleetion Business.
He had long been annoyed by this par
ticular bill collector. There was some
thing about the dogged patience of tha
man that, irritated him, His voice was
soft, his manner smooth, and yet the soul
of the debtor rose against him. - He
couldn't be shaken off. Nothing save a
full payment of the account would satisfy
him. And that sort of heroic treatment
was contrary to the debtor's principles.'
Once when he asked.
"When shall I
call again r the debtor
had rudely an-
swered, "Never!"
"Thank you," said the patient collector.
1 will make a note of
with much gravity and then added: "It is
no trouble, I assure you. I will call again
tomorrow." I
And the debtor ground . his teeth In im
potent rage.
One day the debtor was quite' alone
when the collector called for the ninth
time that werk. and it was only Wednes
day. A flame of fury leaped in the debt
or's breast. His finders opened anrfl shut
convulsively.
"I will leavv the statement," said the
collector in his soft (ones. It was the
seventh statement he hud left since 'the
preceding Saturday.
Then the debtor spraug upon him and
shut off his wind. He left him sprawling
on a chair and. turning on all the gas jets
in the room, hurriedly went forth.
They found the collector a few hours
later, and the coroner's verdict was death
from asphyxiation. Nobody showed any
suspicion. It was merely regarded as a
queer accident.
The debtor went back to his work, and
his conscience never bothered him. Even
when be came to die he made no confes
sion. But as he went up, the narrow path he
felt in his ghostly bosom that an explana
tion of the affair would probably be de
manded at the great white gate. He was
right.
"I find," said St. Peter, with a glance
at a bunch of memorandums that flut
tered in his hand, "that you once too'k a
human life."
"It was only a bill collector," murmur
ed the newcomer.
"Yes. And the bill collector had goad
ed you past endurance."
"Tea, yes, he had!"
"You felt that you were justified in re
moving him?"
"Yes, yesl"
"All the circumstances appear to indi
cate that your provocation was great.
The bill collector himself admitted as
much."
"Then 1 can go in?"
"Yes. But wait There is a trifling de
tail to settle first. When the late collect
or passed in, he handed me this little ac
count to collect. Will It be convenient for
yon to settle it today, or shall I leave a
statement with you?"
With a hoarse groan the unfortunate
debtor toppled over the low coping, and
a moment later a fiery splash far below
showed that he had made a hole in the
brimstone lake. Cleveland Plain Dealer.
