THEY DO Nor LIKE OUR FOOD.

THEY DO NOT LIKE OUR FOOD Articles in Our Larders That savages
 Think are Not Fit to Eat.
 From the New York Sum-
 Not few articles ot food that are popular among civilized peoples, some of them being even regarded as great dainties, are rejected by many savage tribes as utterly unfit to be eaten. Some preparations of food, too, that we enjoy are not relished by uncivilized peo- pie, because in their experience they have met with nothing like them. The natives of New Guinea, for instance, cook few cereals in their own fashion, but they made very wry faces when they attempted to eat some fresh baked biscuits that the missionaries gave them They finally wrapped their biscuits up in paper intending to keep them as curi- osities. On some of the islands of the Malay archipelago there are hundreds of natives whose only industry is to collect the edible birds nests that are esteemed great dainty by the Chinese. They wouldn't dream of eating them themselves, and they think the Chinese must be very peculiar people to use that sort of food.
 The Esquimaux near Little Island once discovered supply of bread and salt pork that Dr. Kane had cached, and they proceed ed to enjoy feast at the white ments pense They liked the salt pork, and did not leave morsel of it. This was probably the first chance they had ever had to vary the monotony of their meat diet. They nibbled the bread a little, promptly pronounced it a failure, and told Dr. Kane afterward that they would as soon swallow so much sand The Esquimaux generally dislike all the pre- parations of vegetables that tine explorers bring among them. They think it is per verted appetite that craves anything but meat.
 A tribe living not far from Port Moresky, New Guinea, that think boiled snakes are to be preferred to roast pig, draw the line at the sugar. When they saw Dr. Chalmers, their first white visitor, sweetening his tea one morning they asked him for some of his salt.

the factories at Boothbay and Bristol was into1erable. The whales found off the coast were plenty in number, and were easily cap tured with bomb lances. While the blubber of an Arctic whale is generally two feet in thickness, that of the humpbacks, which is the species found on the Maine coast, rarely, if ever, exceeds three inches. The yield of humpbaek is some twenty or thir- ty barrels, and is low-grade oil. During the existence of the industry nearly one hun dred whales have been shot. Three steam CTS were employed and nearly one hundred men. The capital invested in steamers, etc., was $30, 900.
 The police of Portland, Maine, have dis covered an ingenious device by which the prohibition law was being evaded in that city. Noticing that thirsty wayfarers felt an ire sistible attraction for certain store when ever they came in front of it, they made in vestigations and found faucet in closet, we'll back in the store, which gave forth beer instead of water. They followed the pipe connecting with the faucet down into the cellar and thence into the ground. Procuring two laborers with shovels they began to dig up the pipe which ran along the ground While they were thus at work, surrounded by large crowd, the owners of the faucet got wagon, and proceeding to the end Of the pipe, which was about 300 feet away, quietly removed the barrels of beer which served as the reservoir for the mysterious supply. The diggers worked all the. after noon without discovering, until they were nearly to the end of the pipe, that they were wasting their labor.
 Ex-Mlnister Thomas, who has been at the Swedish court, furnishes some interesting information concerning the trade between this country and England. He says, among other things: ''I sent out one day for a lock for my door, and they brought back a Yale lock made in Connecticut. At every stationer's you find the Eagle lead pencil. There Is not town of any considerable size in Sweden where canned lobster packed by our own Portland Packing company are not sold; and the same may be said of our west are printed on the bills of fare of nearly all the eating houses in the kingdom, and have eaten an apple in Scandinavia that l will take my oath came from the State of Maine, or else my boyish sense of taste and smell, acquired partly in orchards of my own, has deserted me.

Dr. Chalmers told them it was not salt, but they were incredulous, and so he gave some sugar to one of the natives. ''He began eat ing it," says Dr. Chalmers, land the look of disgust on his face was worth seeing; he rose up, went out; spat out what he had in his mouth and threw the rest away" Then he told the crowd what horrible stuff it was, and they were satisfied to take his word for it without trying it themselves.
 Many savage tribes think eggs are wholly unfit for food. They keep fowl that are very much like our own, and sometimes chickens are almost their sole animal food, but they never dreamed that anybody could get hun gry enough to eat eggs until they saw the missionaries eat them. The spectacle of their white friends making eggs part of their breakfast still troubles a number of tribes in
 Africa MT. Wallace says that among some of the Pacific Islanders hens eggs are saved
 to sell to ships, but are never eaten by the
 natives.
 There are a number of tribes in Africa
 whose chief riches are their herds of cattle,
 but who never drank drop of cows milk in
 their lives. They think the milk of the1r
 herds is for calves and not for human beings,
 and they are disgusted at the idea that any
 body should consider it proper article of
 food. They use their cattle to buy wives other commodities, and eat them when they
 die only in natural course.
 Strawberries and raspberries are found in some tropical regions, but they are never eaten, and, in fact, are hardly worth picking, as they are. poor, almost tasteless things The wild fruit of the tropical regions are generally far inferior in quality and abun- dance to those of the temperate zone. These same tribes that are astounded at some of the articles white men put into their stomachs very likely eat grasshoppers, ants. monkeys, elephants, and many other things that have not been introduced into our cuis- inc. The pure white salt of commerce is the one article in the nature of food that they are all glad to get. Earth strongly impregnated with saline matter has wide sale in one part of Central Africa, and along the Angola coast natives collect the impure deposits of the salt marshes to season their food. If salt were not so heavy, explorers would find it more useful than almost any other commodi- ty in paying their way through savage lands.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

A confectioner in Indianapolis gives GUS toners the privilege of eating all the candy they can get away with at one time in his store for twenty-five cents each. and declares that he makes money out of nine out of ten of them It is evident that Indianapolis girls are not like New Haven girls.
 A New York engineer says that for only $40, ,0OO, 900 dam can be built for mill across the straits of Belle Isle that will turn the Arctic current away from our coast, make Nova Scotia as mild as Cape May, keep navigation on the St. Lawrence open the year round and transform Block Island and Cape Cod into genial winter resorts. Even Colonel Sellers never had more gor- geous scheme than this.
 The failure of the natural gas at Cham paign, Illinois, will make the Pittsburgers think But those who have invested millions in gas wells and pipe lines would not be ruined if their subterranean supply should fail, for it is said that artificial gas for fuel can be made with the refuse coal now lying at the mouth of Pennsylvania coal pits and delivered through pipes to consumers at price but little higher than that of the natural gas which the pipes now carry
 At the recent opening of new addition to the London Temperance hospital-an es- enlistment started to test the question as to the value of alcohol in the treatment of dis ease-it was stated that in only three out of upwards of 5000 cases last year had alcohol been used In these three cases no sensible benefit had resulted, while the average nor tality in the hospital since 1873 had been but
 five per cent. The number of patients treated since the commencement was 22, ,500.
 An investigator of the mysteries of animal life asserts that bees working tools com prise a variety equal to that of the average mechanic He says that the feet of the common working bee exhibit the eombina- ton of 8 basket, brush and pair of pin cers.
