Te Prlace sad j tk Cok" Tkst Set the Fashion For tke Cresteeemas .. ot tee Tables of Epleereees Tke . Fro sr m " Cellaiery 'Tldbkt. V"" ' 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 "Froggy'a" good taste in culinary mat ters.

Woodruff in Good Housekeeping. 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.
