Likes and Dislikes for
Various Kinds of Food
Mnny races, many foods, many fads.
The luxury of one people Is the bane
of another. An attempt Is being made
to Introduce snails as an article of food
Id certain London restaurants. . The
French, of course, regard shnlls ns a
delicacy, while Britishers almost shud­
der nt the thought of eating them! Yet
English folks eat mussels, whelks nnd
winkles, which In some countries nre
regnrded as being unfit for human con­
sumption. In England the eel Is rel­
ished by many people, but In Scotland
It Is detested by nearly everybody.
Ilnbbtts are looked upon ns vermin in
some parts of America and Australia
and nre seldom served at table. In
Britain rabbit pie Is a favorite dish.
Swede turnips are often eaten In Scot­
land and Canada with other vegeta­
bles, wherens In some parts of England
they nre cordlnlly disliked and given
only to cattle. Turnip-tops In Scotland,
again, nre not considered worth cook­

Young Ducklings Early
at Home in the Water
The woodduck, unlike most other
ducks, usually builds his nest far from
his natural element, water, writes Ellis
Gilmore MacLeod in St. Nicholas. But
no sooner nre the eggs hatched and
the ducklings about the size of humble-
bees, than each parent bird takes a
little one In Its bill, wriggles through
the opening In the chestnut tree or
white oak which harbors the nest, nnd,
with a quick glance last some enemy
may lurk near, flies swiftly overland
to creek or water hole. Here the'two
tiny burdens nre dropped gently Into
the wnter.
Without previous swimming lessons,
these newly hntched mites dart over
the surface of the wnter for the cover
of marsh grass or Illy pad where they
hide until the return of their parents
with more of their brothers and sis­
ters.
The flight of the old ducks continues
hack and forth from the home nest to
the water until the family of from 12
to 18 are assembled, when, nt a soft
call-note from the parents, every little
pnddler darts from cover and stnrts
chasing wnter spiders, as If that were
an old game.

P re tty L egend of Crosses
Near the place where the Blue
Ridge and the Allegheny mountains
unite there Is, In Patrick county, Vn„
a spur of the Blue Ridge called “Bull
mountain.” On the side of this moun­
tain, and nowhere else In the world,
there nre found the famous "fairy
stones." The mountaineers explain It
by legends worthy of the niyth-mnklng
Greeks. One story says “that ages
ago, when the red men were masters
here, these stones were showered down
by the Great Spirit as n sign of salva­
tion coming to the savage race.’’ But
the generally accepted legend—that
one from which the name comes—Is
this: "When Christ wns crucified on
Calvary elfin messengers carried the
news to all parts of the world. When
the tidings of woe reached the fairies
In the rugged mountains they censed
their merrymaking nnd at once began
to make these crosses as mementos of
the sad event."
