Cwcetbreads.
JivffimU The real sweetbreads are the soft,
jtwmfjwhite, delicate, milky glands in the
ffirgnthroat of a sucking calf.
?ji®| They are the most delicate in tex
ture of all meats, and on account of
|$i their delicacy they have become the,
object of particular attention of good
K cuisiniers, because, in a fresh state
|jre I and with proper preparation they can
f, be made into a most delightful and
kpi K palatable dish.
I'/r'f'J They are found in the throat of all
very young, sucking animals, but are ,
most considerable in the throat of a i
young calf, and tat the largest are sel- J
dom bigger than a man’s fist doubled j

f'lj Vw The real sweetbreads are the soft
f | white, delicate, milky glands used by :
I the calf in sucking, and are only j
found during the period when it is
*
fed on its mother’s milk.
When a calf is turned out to grass
the delicate, milky glands or sweet
breads begin to grow smaller and in
four or five days disappear and no
longer stand out. in a mass of delicate
flesh, but hanging long and flabby.
It is really surprising how few per
sons, if the question is put directly,
can tell you what a sweetbread is,
and they can scarcely be blamed, be
cause large canning factories have,
therefore, made it a practice to take
the gland of the stomach of .the calf,
or pancreas, and prepare it in such a
way by canning that it partakes some
what, of the nature of a sweetbread;
and as so very little is known as to
what the real sweetbread is the pan
creas is passed off as such and accept
ted by the most fastidious epicur
eans.
If you compare the soft, white,
milky sweetbreads with the great, big
sweetbreads, as large as a man's hand
spread out to the full extent and
width that come in cans labeled sweet
breads, you will readily agree with
me that no sucking calf in the world,
unless it had the enlargement of the
thyroid gland could have such glands.

HAITI.
The American Negro cannot but
feel a keen interest in the fate of
Haiti. We of this country are always
more than anxious to see the island
republic prosperous and maintaining
a proper place among the nations.
We long to see Haiti demonstrate to
the world the capacity of the Negro
for self-government and self-improve
ment, and each time that she suffers
from revolution and lawlessness we
experience a feeling of almost per
sonal disappointment over it.
Conditions in the Negro republic
seem more deplorable at present than
they have been for many years, and
the country now faces a crisis, per
haps, the most important since its
independence. Both the United States
and France have landed forces and
taken military control; just what the
outcome will be depends upon the
wisdom and real patriotism displayed
by the leading Haitians.
That the United States has landed
forces in Haiti is no indication of de
signs upon the independence of that
republic. This government has before
now landed naval forces in various
Latin-American countries under sim
ilar conditions. There is no doubt
that this country would prefer to
have Haiti manage its own affairs.
The state in which Haiti now finds
itself is discouraging; yet, in the face
of what is going on in the older and
richer republic of Mexico, no blame
for the breakdown of representative
government can be placed on the
Haitians because of their race. The
trouble with Haiti is not a matter of
race, it is a matter of political heri
tage. Haiti is a co-heir with Mexico,
Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and
some of the South American coun
tries, to the same political heritage.
Some of the Latin-American states
have reached the plane of stable gov
ernment; so there is still abundant
hope for Haiti. The island is rich in
resources and the people are gener
ally peaceable and industrious; what
is needed is a wise and unselfish pa
triotism among Haitian leaders and
a brotherly hand and sympathetic co
operation from the United States.—
