The Dog as an Article Ct Food.

BY most people the dog is valued only
during life; his skin is but little esteemed.
This is no means the case everywhere.
It is very well known that the Chinese
use the dog as regular article Of food.
Many of the North American tribes look
upon an entree Of dog as the greatest
possible delicacy they can set before a
stranger. Sir Leopold McClintock re-
lates that in the Sandwich Islands he
had the most profuse apologies offered
to him because there was no puppy to
be had for the feast to which he was in
vited. The Esquimaux, too, look upon
dish of young dog as great treat, and
it is related that Danish captain pro-
vided his friends with feast Of this
kind, and when they praised his mutton
he sent for the skin of the beast and ex-
hibited it to them. The Greeks and
Romans also used the dog as an article
of diet, and many ancient writer's, such
as Galen and Hippocrates, represent
dog meat as highly desirable dish.

FIVE is Of frst-rate quality. That one
will have high, rich, musky flavor
most delicious to the palate. The 9TH
ems will vary in flavor. One will taste
like raw pumpkin, another Like unboiled
sweet potato, and another, perhaps, like
hickory chip. What we want to
know is if it is not possible for some
careful and ingenious horticulturist to

have the tempting flavor? Is there no

opens exceedingly well for the British.
In occupvirg Port Said the British Admiral
has closed the Suez Canal. He has prohibited
the entry even of ves,els belonging 10 the
company, and has stationed glluboatS at the
mouths of tAe canal to give warning to the
shipping of all nations. ". de LcS>eps pro-
nounces this violation Of the neutrality OF
the canal, and also OF recent declarations OF
the maritime Powers. Now the neutrality OF
this waterway has never been formally guar
anteed blythe Powers. The canal was built
by a corporation organized under the laws OF
France, and in 1876 was declared free to SHIPS
OF commerce without exception. But this c0nceS-
sion was not made by or To the Powers. Inc
KhcdiVc's decree and the Sutan's iirman gave
assurance to the company that the can"
should remain open at all times. Daring the
Russian TurhiSh war the formal naturalization
of the canal 10y the European Powers was pro
posed by NJ. de LeSseps, hut owing 10 the
dissemination OF the British Government 10
take the risks of having its waT-Slips shut ont
of the canal the Gucs ion WIS not acted upon.
1t is practically the KhedIve who has gIlaIan-
teed the neutrality OF the canal, and two
fills of the stock of the corporation to which
the privilege Was accorded is now owned by
the British Government AS for the re-
cent declarations of the Powers the inter-
national police arrangement proposed by the
Italian Minister at the conference was accept
ed by Lori Dui1ern with the reservation that
it should not he allowed to interfere with the
necessities OF England's military position III
Egypt. Probably General Wolseley had already
planned his campaign III London, and the
British Government were aware that the banks
of the canal would speedily be occupied. The
diplomatic fooIing served to fill the pauses
while the military preparations were beng
completed.
While the naturalization of the Sucz Canal
has never been formally guaranteed by the
European Powers there has been tact un-
dprstanding that it should always remain
open and that war-Ships ought to be excluded
Great Britain, under the pressure Of military
necessity, has arbitrarily CLOSED the canal,
sent grnboats to Lake TimSah, and occup cl
all the strong places on the banks. The lncl-
dent is an instructive one. Lord Granville not
long ago suggested that the Panama Canal
should be left under the c0nlol Of the United
States and the leading European Powers The
position as defined by Mr.. Blaine WAS that
there was only one nation which could guar
antee the freedom of tine proposed waterway
That nation was the pacific Republic which
was never cntanglcd with European alliances
and which had fundamental interests at stake
in the cutting of the sthmus. Mr.. Blaine was
right. The action Of our own Government would
secure the absolute freedom of the Panama
Canal under all Circumstances. International
ARRANGEMENTS would be made only to be set
aside for military reasons.
