WHAT THE CHINESE EAT.
Their Diet Wholesome, Varied, and
Well Cooked

Charles T. King in the Forum)
The causine Of the Chinese and the

feasts have done much TO give thom "a
somewhat extraordinary reputation

letters brilliant and their books songa-
tional. have told such wonderful tales Of

other culinary novelties. served UP in
such marvellous STYLES and eaten with
such apparent relish, that their readers
naturally take # for granted that these
things form large proportion Of the
food of the people OF China
Generally speaking, the diet OF the Chi
nese is sufficient in variety. wholesome.
ana well-cooked even II their methods
ate essentially different from our own
Doubtless. many Of the dishes are found
extremely unpalatable 10 Americans be-
cause Of the quantity OF nut-oil used and
the reason Of the punEent flavor Of the
large amount Of garlic introduced. In
the latter respect, however the dishes
Of Southern Europe are equally obiec-
tionable. As 20 the assortment OF food
II has been said that there is wider
diterence, perhaps. between the rich and
the poor OF China than OF any other
country
1t is probably true that the Chinese
use a greater variety Of meats than do
the people OF other countries although
out ittle land is set apart for grazing or
for the cultivation OF food Tor livestock.
Beef is not common meat. principally be-
cause Of the Buddhistic prejudice against
killing any animal. and particularly such
useful one. Since hogs can be SO
economically reared. pork Is undoubtlv
after rice, the leading article Of food.
This IL eaten In every form. and one may
say that every part Of the animal IS
