The true culture of the country appears
TO be concentrated at the watering places
just now. One night not long ago thief
went into the cottage of Mrs. Edwards at
Atlantic City and stole her fine gold
watch. A few days afterwards she re-
ceived a very polite note from him ex-
pressing regret at the circumstance Of
the robbery and enclosing pawn ticket
for the watch, and bidding her kind
farewell. All she had to do was to get
the watch out Of pawn by paying the
amount due on it, or by legal process.

THE CEREALS VERSUS MEAT.

England is a meat eater, while France
is a cereal eater, or an eater of bread and
oil. Yesterday l had long talk with lie
.Comte Ferdinand de Lesseps in regard to
the value of cereals for food. NJ. de Les
seps worked thousands of Italians, Turks
and Frenchmen ON the Suez Canal.
500 you really think the cereals are
stronger food than meatW l asked.
s'Certainly," he replied. zone pound
of dry wheat or flour is worth as much as
three pounds OF wet beef. ScaId the
pound of flour and see! you have have
gallon Of mush you could not eat it in
three days. If you feed the cereals to
cattle, as they do in England, it takes
eight pounds of grain to make pound Of
meat. So, why feed the grain to animal
tramps? Why not eat it ourselves and
do away with a surplus population of 3d.
100000 cattle, hogs and sheep-animal
tramps? England is supporting perhaps
S0,000,0 00cattle, sheep and hogs, and 100000
000peOple-Or rather, she supports her cattle
and buys bread from America to feed her
people. France supports 100000 people
and about 2o,000,O00 cattle, hogs and
sheep"
'sThen you believe in raising more grain
and less cattle and hogs?'' 1 asked.
"CeTtainly. One acre Of cereals in
France will support five men, while it
would take two acres of grass to support
one steer; and, in the end, one man would
eat the steer. The advantage of the cereals
over meat is as five to one. So, you see,
the steer is an unnecessary tramp. The
Englishman,' continued NJ. Lesseps,
''insists on roast beef, every pound Of
which costs eight pounds Of cereals. The
Frenchman eats the cereals themselves.
He buys millions of gallons of cottOn-seed
oil in America at three cents per pound.
This he eats in his salad, in his soup, and
In his bread and pie crust. The French
man reines millions of gallons of Ameri-
can cOtton-seed oil, sends it back to
America and sells it for two or three dol
lars a gallon. Cotton-seed oils Supposed
ing peanut oil, and olive oil IS almost a
thing Of the past. For years the peanut
crop of Tennessee and North Carolina has
been sent to Marseilles and made into
olive oil COtt0n-seed oil has been found
by the French to be better and cheaper
than peanut oil. To-day all Spain,
Southern France, Italy, Turkey and Aus
tria are living on American cotton-seed
oil. All an Italian gentleman or labOrer
wants is oil, maccaroni, bread, sugar,
wine and coffee. Cotton-seed oil
takes the place of meat. 1t is strange
that your Southern States have been for
years throwing away millions of barrels
of beautiful cOtton-seed oil and buying
unhealthful pork and lard in its place
Corn meal cooked like maccaroni with oil
and cheese is delicious food, and so
cheapp'
The Count is right; but he forgets that
in France there is nothing wasted; 15,-
100000 steers will go as far as $4,000, 900
steers in England, or 75,000,00 in profit
gate America. There is never a mouth
full of meat or grease thrown away in
France. France can support popula-
ton of 1O0, 600, 900 better than England can
support population Of $4,000, 600.
