Letter Gossip af Staff GmsporukiSt dt World Centers cF By Paul E. Broknvv International News Service Staff Correspondent (By Miller Holland INS. Staff Correspondent.) (By Alice Langelier, INS Staff Correspondent.) Paris.—Every dog may have h s day, but every kind of bird and beast, has been having his as well, the last few weeks in Paris. A" that an angler could wish for am everything that a hunter would Want to shoot have been gathered at the International Animal Salon at the Porte de Versailles. to gether with an infinite number of game birds, beasts and barnyard fowls. Ten thousand animals are there, making some kind of noise or other and making one think that the old County Faih is hold ing forth in the French cap' '1. They have come from the four Corners of the globe. The finest breeds of dogs are on exhibition and there is n special section de voted to animals of the cha°e. Thirty large tanks contain all the different varieties of fish that in habit the rivers of France. One unusunl feature of the show is the clever method of in stallation. so that each group Seems in its native habitat. F'’<‘n the Aaxidermists have thc:r dis plays of stuffed birds and an'mnls arranged in meadows and rnon mountain sides, with the whol blending into a painted hack Screen which is difficult to detect from the foreground. When President Doumcrgue vis ited the exposition, he seemed par ticularly interested in the fowl and stood some time before a coop containing an elegant French'cock. The orchestra-lender came around and asked him what, he would Ijko to have played and he immediately demanded “Mareheta,” one of Saint Granier’s famous hits. J The Pied Piper of Hamelin has his modern Parisian counterpart, and in fact, several of them. Hut these Paris Pipers deal with a dif ferent kind of animal, although they might very well try to rid the metropolis of its numerous rats. They play pretty little tunes on their pipes calling the people to eome out and buy goats’ milk, for that is what they guide, herds of goots, and right through the busy Champs de Mars section. Each piper has an able dog to help him out of the traffic tangles. The most unique garage in Paris Is to be found in the rue Pontoise and is the old crypt of the former College des Rernardins, built in the year 1243 by an Englishman, Stephen of Lexington, under the auspices of the brother of King Louis, the Saint. Like many other j old religious institutions, it has seen many changes. After the ex pulsion of the monks in 1791), it was used as a flour and oil store and later as a prison. Because of the low arches, only iopedoes and the smallest automobiles are able to find shelter here. The very quietest spot in the ! French capital is to be found right in its very center, in the lit tle cafe at one end of the gardens of the Palais.Royal and only a; stone’s throw form the noisy ave-1 nue del’Opera. It is as crowded as , it can he, every chair is taken, and j yet it is as silent as any tomb. In I fact, a pin could almost be heard to drop and there is no noise ex cept the occasional clinking of a glass as it is put on the table. The clientele, you understand, is made up of domino and chess players, many of them gray-bearded, all of them serious and quiet. It is here that the most famous of them meet every afternoon and arrange their matches. A report that lie possessed and was seeking to sell a fragment of the true cross was definitely an swered in the negative by Grand Duke Alexander Michailovich, hus band of the murder Czar's sister, who has just returned to his home in Paris irom Abyssinia. “Perfect nonsense,” said the Grand Duke explosively. “In the first place T haven’t and never had a piece of the true cross. 1$ the second plaice, if I did have; 1 rover would sell it to the Abyssinian* or anyone else. “The Royal Russian Family, I know, owned n fragment of the true cross contained in a great gold cross which hung in the VVin \ ter Palace in St. Petersburg. 1 don’l know what happened to it in i the revolution. 1 doubt the story I that it was saved h.y some mem , hers of the Imperial Family.” New Firm Formed At Kinj?s Mountain !vines Mountain lore.

I \ Famous French | Recipes ! < (By Alice Langelier, INS Staff Correspondent.) Pnris.—“Lobster Thermidor” is the favorite one of the fifty-seven varieties than can be eaten in Prunier's famous fish restaurant in Paris. Plunge the living lobster in what the French a “court-bouillon,” that is water with vinegar, hay leaves and herbs. When cooked, split lengthwise and take out the meat of the tail, scallop it and keep it warm in a few spoonsful of the, sauce. Detach the claws and take out the meat by a cut in the side with out breaking them. Cut the meat into cubes and add a like amount of cooked mushrooms and half the amount of truffles. also cut into tubes. Mix with a little of the sauce. Replace this mixture part ly in the claws, partly in the two empty half shells. On the sauce lay the pieces removed from the tail, alternated with thin slices of truffles. Place the half-shells on a platter with the claws on either side. Cover all with Sauce Ther midor and sprinkle with grated cheese and pour over melted but ter. Place in a very hot oven for a moment before serving. They Changed Minds Later In The Day Mr. Editor:— In justice to the eight rural car riers from the Shelby post office, you are, kindly requested to cor rect n statement appearing twice in your issue of March 1st in which it was said that these 'car riers failed to serve their patrons on that day on account of the deep snow. The misunderstanding came about this way: In the early morn ing it was first decided not to go out as it was thought some of the roads would be impassible, but, after receiving reports from sev eral of the roads, the matter was re-considered and all carriers made their usual tours, several return ing nearly on schedule time. No office has a more faithful and more efficient lot of carriers than the Shelby office and we would not have the public think they failed when other carriers served their routes. No reflection on The Star. It gave the information as received in the early morning of that day. J. H. Quinn, Postmaster. Mary Nicholson, 8 year old daughter of a Hattiesburg, Miss., merchant, grabbed her father’s money bags and ran with them when hold-up men tried to rob him in his store, thus saving the money. Paul Haakon, 12 year old Los Angeles boy, has been selected from 17,000 contestants as the great child dancer in America, in a contest held by the National Stage Children’s association.

Volunteer Sunday At Presbyterian (Special to The Star.) Sunday is designated '“Volun teer Sunday” at the local Presby terian church. It is the day for making subscriptions to the budget for next church year, April 1, 1927-March 31, 192H. Instead of canvassers going to knock at the doors of members, the members are asked to do the scriptural thing and come to the church and make their subscriptions Sunday afternoon between 2 and 5 o’clock. Volunteer Sunday was tried by the Presbyterian congregation for the first time last year in raising its budget. The new plan proved most successful. The church officials have faith in their members and believe, under guidance of the Holy Spirit, Christians would rather be "volunteers” than “con-, scripts.” For this reason every member of the church is urged to come out Sunday afternoon and j signify intentions for next year. Cars will be furnished those who have no means of transportation if one of the deacons is called. The deacons hope that the budget will be subscribed in full in three hours Sunday afternoon. The workers council of the Sunday school will meet at 9:30 a. m. Worship departments begin promptly at 9:45 a. m. At 11 a. m. Rev. Hector N. McDiarmid will have for his sermon subject “Jesus Watching the Treasury,” and the choir will sing the beautiful an-1 them “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” j as written by Herbert J. Lacey. At 7:30 p. m. the pastor’s suo ject will be “God Seeking a Man.” A full chorus choir of young peo ple will have charge of the music at the evening hour, this being a feature of the night services at the Pjresbyterian church. This week, March 13-18, the Presbyterians are cooperating with the Methodists in a Standard Training School for Sunday school leaders. The first session of the school will be held at Central Me thodist church, Sunday, 3 p. m. Other sessions of the school will bo held each evening during the week at 7:30 p. m. The United States Coast and Geodetic Survey has developed a new electric depth indicator. An improved lock for mail bags, without ropes, bars or straps, has been devised by a Canadian con vict.
