EDIBLE DOGS.
Chinese CANNES Raised Especially for the
Table.

Chinese CANNES Raised Especially Tor the
Table.
Almos, at the same time that the
Sioux braves were partaking Of a dog
feast not far from Pine Ridge, certain
English bon viyants were testing the
| merits Of the flesh of the Chinese edible
dog, and pronouneing him a very good
dog indeed. Their verdict WAS quite
different from that Of the French peo-
pie who were forced to eat the flesh Of
dogs during the seige of Paris, and who
all agreed that it was thoroughly de-
testable.
The difference, however, is easily ex-
planned by the culinary authorities who
have taken the matter up. 1t lies
wholly in the character OF the food
upon which the dog has subsisted.
The Chinese edible dog is destined
from the beginning for the table. Like
the edible rat of the same country,
he is fed mainly upon vegetable food,
which is often d~elicately prepared and
specially devised in order to give the
dogs flesh a peculiar flavor and aroma.
The result is something quite different
from the flesh Of the ordinary dog of the
western world, which feeds generally in
a very miscellaneous way, and never
with a view to the suitability Of his
flesh for human consumption.
The genuine Chinese edible dog is
known by his bluish-bl tongue,
which is a peculiar mark of his variety,
In his infancy and early youth the
dogs tongue is red; and upon reaching
maturity and the edible age it suddenly
becomes black, sometimes within a
single fortnight,
Another popularity of this dog is his
lack of the barking faculty. 1t is said
that the dog can bark, and on occa.
sions does so; but these occasions
are rare, Ordinarily he is entirely tao
turn.
Many experiments, most of them un
willing, were made with the flesh OF
dogs during the Paris siege. New

that they would prove more eatablC
than other varieties, They proved t.

passed through this siege that the dog
seemed to be aware that they were be
