Monkey Is unpopular and is used by in
valids and convalescents. Young alliga-
tor is a luxury and is said to resemble
frog. The tail is the part most in de-
mand. Frogs are liked universally and
are found in every market. They are
smaller and thinner than those at home,
but are, it may be, a tribe mere delicate
and savory. Though the frog and crooo-
die are eaten, the other two members Of
the reptile family-the turtle and snake
are not. The entire fish world is put I'M
der tribute, from the bulky shark and
sawflsh to the humble whelk, conch and
sea anemone. OF the lower orders Of life
several water beetles, slugs, worms and
blind worms are employed as food.
