FOOD IN ENGLAND.

An American visitor TO England ha,
noticed the absence of great variety OF
vegetables at the meals. There are
plenty Of meats, fish, game, fowls and
animal foods, but the vegetables are few
The list of these is about complete with
potatoes, French beans and peas, cauli
Hover, cucumber, lettuce, radishes and
vegetable marrow. The peas are char
acterized as flavorless little things and
the cucumbers are thin and sometimes
about yard long. The lettuce is called
the sweetest and best in the world, but
the vegetable marrow Is insipid, watery
and soft and tastes about like an over
ripe cucumber.
American peas, beans, cucumbers
radishes and potatoes are said to be much
better favored and to be larger than the
English vegetables. Beans and peas
come largely from France, and even the
Strawberries and asparagus mostly from
other countries. Green corn is unknown
and turnips, parsnips, squash, carrots
and the like seldom reach the table. To
matoes grow in lighthouses and are cost
ly. Peaches are a luxury and are worth
25 cents apiece. Watermelons are uu
heard Of, but musk melons are imported
in small quantities from France.
The English people as rule eat wei
and heartily, and without much in the
way of fancy cooking and very sensibly,
they do not stuff themselves with lol
of rich and greasy food. The English
man starts in with brandy and soda in
the morning and habitually drinks alco-
holic beverages with his meals and more
or less at other timP5

ton, ham and bacon cannot be beaten
for quality, and are justly entitled to all
the praise that has been given to them,

THE MALLS OF BOSTON ComMoN.

More and more was it the habit of peO
/ pie to walk in the Mall AS the afternoon
closed in on n pleasant day, The name
Z Mall was borrowed from the English
Mall in London. 1t means place where
| you can use your mallet, for in London
originally the Mail was the place for
playing whatever game was the croquet
or tennis of the day. This Mall, before
the end OF the century was called the
Great Mall. This was to distinguish il
from the Little Mall, by the side of the
burial ground, This also was planted
with English elms about the year 1894,
by Adino Paddock. Those trees were
therefore also called 'Paddocks Row.
They were cut down not many years
ago, as they were in the way OF travel.
ers. But as lately as 1915 talked with
Mr.. Jonathan Darby Robbins, who re-
membered being told, when he was a
schoolboy, with all the rest of the class
that they would be logged if any of the
Paddock elms were broken down.
And the old English elms still stand
in the Great Mall, to show to children
and grown people what an English elm
IS. 1t is, indeed, pathetic to see how
tenderly the old people remembered
England in their gardening and plant
ing before the Revolution, The Ameri.
can elm, which is now the glory of the
Charles Street Mall and of the Beacon
Street Mail, was as beautiful hundred
years ago, as it is now. The great
French botanist, Michaux, called 1t the
monarch of the vegetable world and
most of us would agree with him. There
was not a meadow or river within a
hundred miles Of Boston from which
there could not have been brought enough
American elms to plant the whole Com.
mon. But those good people did not want
American elms. They wanted an English
Mall and the English elms to shade it.

Always longing for an office,

THEORIES IN REGARD TO THE Es-
KIMO.

THEORIES IN REGARD TO THE Es-
KIMO.
Why human beings have been found
living in this lone land of desolation
has given rise to no little theorizing and
speculation, the bulk of which seems to
be that they are cruelty forced to abide
here by the supposed greater strength
of the savages TO the south of them. My
own ideas are with the respectable
minority" which believes that they are
found in these regions for the same
reason that we find the reindeer, musk
OK, and the walrus; that is, it suits their
peculiar temperament better than any
| other climate or condition possibly
could, and they are no more forced into
| the frigid zones by other savages than
the animals named are held there by
the antelope, buffalo, or carbon OF
lower ATTITUDES. When they are taken
from their Hyperborean home they are
as restless to return as the castaways in
their own land are to get back to civili-
cation, and singular enough, despite all
the desolate surroundings, they are the
most happy race, savage or civilized, in
the four corners of the earth: although
it is the coolest corner. The tale told
by Captain Hall, of the deep longing of
the sick and sinking Eskimo, Kudlago,
to see his land of ice and snow before
he died, and his JOY on being carried to
the deck of the Arctic-bound ship when
the first iceberg was sighted, is as pa
thetic as any ever told of the return of
Arctic refugees to their land of flowers
and forests; and clearly shows that pa
triotism and love of home is circum-
scribed by no parallels of latitude nor
influenced by no climatic conditions.
Wherever the Indians and Eskimo have
come in contact in an aggressive way,
the northern nomads have steadily
pushed back their copper colored neigh
bors, and the only places where they
the Eskimo-have penetrated far in
land to reside, is along the Yukon and
Kouskoquim rivers of Alaska. Here
they have elbowed out the Indian for
SEINE hundreds Of miles, and find a lux
uriant living on the swarming fisheries
of these streams. : Frederick G. Schwat-
ka in The American Magazine for Aug
ust.
