<JHINESB QUEEJl TASTES. The Chinese will eat anything that oomee out of the sea. All the fishes are good to their taste* and are caught with great skill. Seaweeds am used to thicken soups, gravies, and puddings, aa< £ are highly-prized because they give a relishing flavour of salt, which is a luxury beyond the reach of most Chinese peasants. Growing be- tween the high and low watermarks on the Japa- nese coasts is a mud-worm called Sabella. II oocupies a hard slimy tube of its own making, and gets its food when the high tide comes up over its hiding place, by thrusting out a head bushy with tentacles, and sucking in currents ofi water loaded with minute particles of nutriment. Out of this wriggling creature the shore people make a soup, which is said to taste as badly as it amells.

ICOLLECTING FOLK-SONGS.
COLLECTING FOLK-SONGS. Mr. Cecil J. Sharp has contributed fai Musical Times an article on the fascinating sub* ject of "Folk-Song Collecting." He already ee over a dozen volumes, containing the words and tunee of 1,200 songe which h*fl| noted down from the lips of peasant sir s. The old singing men and women of the celj TiJiages, says Mr. Sharp, guard their stores of songs and ballads with ze&loiv and a simple and direct manner is n" Î r" induce them to unlock their treasures. 1\i., ? the songs he has collected have been i ,L down in cottages, in barns, by the roadeide. ra. the open field. From the lips of one singe.. Susan Williams, he haa taken down nearly fifty songs. A bird-etarver, whose business it irab to guard a patch of mangold seeds f om becng eaten by birds, gave him two excellent aoae*. To keep off the birds he hammered a tea-tray, but he sang the songs on condition that be might be allowed to hammer the tray bet. the verses. ♦
