A Gastronomic Novelty.


1t is not generally known that the flesh of
the whale is both nutritious and palatable.
Large quantities Of it arc eaten every fishing
season by the men engaged in the capture of
the fish, but still larger quantities are, of
course, wasted. 1t re Gently occurred to q
Norwegian speculator that some of the i'm
mense mass of food that is thus annually
thrown away might be proftsbly preserved
and used for consumption on shore.
He made arrangements, therefore, with sew
eral whaling captains and two meat preserv-
ing firms, and last week he gave dinner, at
which he believes he demonstrated that whale
flesh may be cooked in at least o dozen diff.
ferent ways, and that it forms q delicious as
we'll as wholesome article of diet. Some
parts of the fish, we are told, supply mate
rias for an excellent imitation of turtle soup;
others resemble beef and still others are al
most as white and quite as tenders as chicken.
The meat can be sold for about half the price
of Australian timed beef.

youth, faded or gray hair to natural, rich
