FANclEs IN FOOD.
Famous Men Whose Appetites We're APP
peased by Different Dishes.

Most people have some especial fancy

Roasted pig served with apple sauce was

tiokled the appetite and aroused the adj
miration of Sir Walter Scott. Liston,
the actor, would go into ecstacies over
tripe and onions. The tragedian, Charles
Dillon, was exceedingly fond Of Var

Varied as their palates may be, Eng
lishmen, as a rule, are very eclectic in the
choice of their dishes. They do not, like
their Gallo neighhors, for instance, take
kindly to the frog as an entremet. despite
the fact that this little animal is said to
possess a most delicate favor when nicely
cooked. The tortoise, often used as a
ccmestible in Southern Gaul, does not
come in for share of their admiration
while the hedgehog as an article of diet
is still confined to a few remote rural dis
tricts where epicures never penetrate.
Although horses have repeatedly been
tried as food, and many enthusiasts aver
that a selected steak of horse flesh is Us
illicy and palatable as x-boof, Britishers
as a body stand aloof. An experiment. in
donkey eating, made some Years ago in
a college ar Cambridge, said at the time
to have been success, does not appear to
have been repeated.
A couple of amusing stories in conneo-
ton with fancy gastronomy are told
Bradshaw, the royal rat catcher, was out

put some young rabbits on the fire to
broil. During his temporary absence q
party of laboring men found our the din
;,er and ate it up. Determined to have
revenge, Bradshaw went again next day
to the farmhouse, and put some big old
rats on the gridiron, leaving them as be-
fore. The bait took, the laborers appeared
on the scene, and polished on the rodents
under the impression that they were rab-
bits. The laugh was not on their side
when the truth was made known to
them.
Several gentlemen once becoming pos
sessed of a live crocodile, determined to
try what crocodile steak was like and
having had one cooked, declared 1T excel

tion with an eager eye, and secretly de-
termined that he too would try the new
food. He did so. and in the middle OF
the night An alarm was raised, and the
old servant was said to be dying. With his
hands to his stomach, he was exclaiming
in agony: "Oh. that crocodile! that

fellow. liking the taste of the cooked
reptile, had made monster meal OF the
indigestible mass, whereas his master had
simply tasted morsel. When ms stom-
ach had been relieved of its heavy load,
he vowed solemnly never to eat crocodile
again.

KIBBIE TOWNSHIP.
Maine Lawyers Try their Hands in the
Woods.

Salt Pork and Beans Under Canvas with
October Shows Falling Without-Old
Surveyors Marks.
The work of the lawyers is not always
in the comfort of luxuriously furnished
offices and court rooms, as is shown by
the experience of three Maine attorneys
a few days ago. There are in the courts
somewhat notable series of cases relat-
ing to certain township of wild land
in Franklin county. Woodruff ct al OF
New York, VS. J. &. A. W Chase, of
Lexington, Woodruff OF al VS.. S. A. Nye,
of Fairfield, and J. &. A. w. Chase VS.
S. A. Nye, are the titles of these suits.
The land in question is Kibbie township
No. l, Range 5, in franklin county. The
state gave this land to Kibbie in 1880,
and it was surveyed at that time. This
was sixty five years ago. There Is now
existing a dispute regarding these poun-
daries, and resurvey has been made
within a few days. 1t WAS thought de-
sirable that the attorneys representing
the litigants should be present during
this survey. Judge Turner Buswell, OF
Sokwhegan, was surveyor and referee.
The party was made up OF Frank IL.
Staples of Baker & Staples OF Augusta
representing Woodruff, S. j. Walton OF
Skowhegan representing S. A. Nye and
G. A. Wilbur of Madison, Representing
the Chases.
Eustis is the jumping off place for one
travelling to Kibbie township. 1t is four
teen miles thrugh the roadless wilderness
from Eustis; and along this trail started
the party on foot.
Having arrived on the ground the hard
ships began. They started in on the
southwest corner October 10Th and ran
north on the east line four miles. Then
they crossed to the west line seven miles,
then south on the west line four miles.
and finally seven miles on the south line.
They spent eleven days in this exalnina-
ton of the lines and the timber. During
this time they lived in cotton tent,
except on such nights as they would find
themselves in the vicinity of logging
camp. Their fare was salt pork and
baked BEANS 1t showed frequently, and
often the snow storms would come on in
the evening, as tobacco and pipes were
produced around the camp fire.
When Mr. Walton left the party he took
the route by Somerset county as it would
bring him .out nearer home. His route
lay by King, Bartlett and Spencer ponds,
and forced him to walk thirty miles
through the woods.
The party found during the trip some
interesting examples of the preservation
of the surveyors spottings. When the
lines of Kibbie township were run in
1880 they were marked by "spotted"
trees, Y. e. the surveyors cut off chip
of bark Although made sixty-fiye
years ago these marks were remarkably
fresh. One old spruce was found mark
ing corner. 1t had rotted down, but on
it were compass mark, the letters Il.
r. (initials of Hiram Rockwell, the sur
veyor) and the date "Dec. 80" The
pitch had oozed over these marks, preserv-
ing them although the tree had rotted

HEATHEN GODS MADE.
A Factory at Birmingham England
Which Manufactures Thorn.

There has been discovered in Birming-
ham, fin the very centre OF Christian Eng
land, factory where idols are made Tor
heather nations Many attemps to OBJ
tain admission to the factory have been
made, but strict watch is kept upon
outsiders anxious to pry into the secret
chambers where the heather gods are
made and reporters, especially, are pre-
vented from entering the works.
Idols Of all kinds are turned out, repre-
senting the gods of all heather nations,
from Tokai to Timbuctoo. The export
trade to. heather countries.is fairly large
one, although. more gods are sent out to
foreign dealers in curios in the bazaars
of Cairo, Damascus, Colombo, etc., for
sale to unsuspecting travellers anxious to
take home some mementoeS OF their stay
abroad.
The price of gods varies greatly. You
may got Birmingham made one IN a

however, the price of first class god Of
this kind may run up from 500 to any

difficulty in detecting god OF native

ture The first generally displays some
slight ilregularity or change of design
due to the native working by hand. while
the Birmingham god was correct in form.

output, but there is no doubt the trade is
