Elephant Flesh an African Delicacy.


The flesh of the elephant is eaten in
its entirety by several of the African
tribes. A detail of the process of butch
ering the animals is not pleasant read
ing. The tools used are the assagai and
Ratchet. The rough outer skin is first
removed in large sheets. Beneath this
is subcuticle, plable membrane,
from which the natives make water
skins. The elephant yields large guam
titles OF fat. used in cooking the ma
tives' sun dried biltong, or dried strips
of the elephants flesh, and also in the
preparation of vegetables. African ex-
plorers of the Caucasian race agree that
one part of the elephants carcass, when
properly cooked, is succulent dish
that will regale the most delicate taste
This part, very strangely, is the first
joint of the leg below the knee, which
one would suppose to be the toughest
portion OF the animal. TO prepare the
joint hole three feet deep is dug in
the earth, and the sides of it are baked
hard by means of large live Goals. Most
OF the Goals are then taken out, and the
elephants foot is placed in the rude
oven. The hole is then filed with dirt.
tightly packed, and blazing fire is
built on top, which is kept replenished
for three hours. The foot is thus evenly
baked, and when done, Instead of
strong, tough meat fiber, it is of a &C.
latinous consistency that may be eaten
with a spoon. Philadelphia Lancet.

One Kitchen For Many.

MI. J. A. Barrett. writing i'll Tho
Journal Of Hygiene. is Of opinion that
n kitchen for all tho people would be
quite as elective rs gas or water works
for all the people tire. He would have
the kitchen where the peoples food was
cooked controlled by the municipal au-
thoritics. SO that pure food and just
weights and measures would be guaran-
teed.
Tho worst objection to such a course
would he that the peoples kitchen would
run into politics, and the place Of head
cook, with pcrquisites, would be as
much sought after as commissioner of
the waterworks or chief of police. The
appointment of public dishwasher would
Il given rs a reward for voting de
boys for q given candidate.
Eut Mr.. Barrett's scheme is beauti-
full, all tho same. He says:
Let such cookery he ranked as the highes,
