Strange Meats.

The French have taught our people
a great deal about what is good to eat,
and not the least of their services in
this department of knowledge is the
teaching of the world that frogs-and
especially frogs legs-are an excellent
article of food.
People in this country do rot COM
monty eat frogs, any more than they
eat rabbits, squirrels and other equal
ly accessible and equally palatable
meats; but frogs legs are regular
item on the bills of fare in the first
class city hotels and restaurants, and
considerable industry in supplying
them for the market has sprung up.
Often necessity is required to teach
people that iSey have good things to
eat which ordinarily they do not
touch. A camping expedition of
young men on a northern lake ran out
of provisions, and found the fish in
the lake insufficient for their wants.
They had no firearms with which to
shoot wild game. At the lower end of
the lake, basking on some old logs,
were hundreds of fine fat frogs.
Impelled by hunger, the boys fell
upon these frogs, and for several days
lived dclicately and well on diet of
which frogs legs constituted the prin-
cipsl item. All the members of that
party are now fully aware that frogs
are good to eat.
Recently n French missionary in
Indo- China, Rev. Father Guerlach, has
made the discovery that toads are also
good to eat. Reduced by necessity to
resort to ad-hesh, he found it no less
palatable and nutritious than the frog.
"Most people," says Father Guer-
lach, in his journal, recently publish
ed, "would die of hunger rather than
eat toad, which is nevertheless, beg
you to believe, an excellent food.
Whenever 1 could procure toads, l
was able to give myself banquet.
But in France, your prejudices pre-
vent you from knowing and using
what is good"
However, a Paris Journal afiirms
that the cookery of toads has made
some little progress in France. Moth
ing is better, this journal says, than a
dish made of the backs and legs of
toads-with the skin first carefully re-
moved, it needs hardly to be said.
The popular fables about the pois-
onous character of toads are nowadays
not much believed. 1t is true that
the toad is protected from carnivora
by the acrid secretions of his warty
skin, but these are irritating rather
than poisonous, and not always that.
Toads, however, are of great service
to man, and it is to be hoped that it
will not become fashionable to cat
them. Youths Companion.

TOMATO CATSCP.

The following recipe has been tested
for many years and never fails: Cut
in small pieces for cooking in their
own liquor enough fine, ripe tomatoes
to make four quarts of pulp when
cooked. Rub through n wire sieve
till it is as smooth as cream. Add one
tablespoonful of salt, one teaspoonful
of black pepper, one-half spoonful of
cayenne, one-half teaspoonful of
ground cinnamon-grind it yourself
and be sure that it is good-one- half
teaspoonful of cloves and sugar to suit
the taste. Boil slowly for three hours
and when nearly done add pint Of
good vinegar. Bottle when hot, and
cork the bottles tight, sealing them all
over with sealing wax. When you are
going to use spices of any kind, or
pepper, get the grains and grind them
yourself. New York Telegram.
