This ship Captain.
New York Press: Queer things to eat
and how they tas.e had been the topic
OF conversation for half an hour with
a little group of passengers on down
east steamship. The list had gone as
far as rats when the captain joined the
party, and he listened respectfully to
the experiences of those who had num-
bered cats and horse flesh in their
menu at some period or other. What
was the worst thing you ever had TO
eat?' some one asked him at last.
Well, | Went to sea at f3 years of age,
and for good many years l didn't
have much terrapin or canvasback
duck, but that didn't interfere with MY
growth to any extent" and the captain,
who was q man of fine physique, drew
himself up to his full six feet. But,
think ate one thing that no one else
on this boat has ever tasted, and that
is roast niger baby" The captain
paused, while the EXPLANATIONS of hor-
ror spent themselves. "1t was in
South African port, and the natives
We're not reputed cannibals, and in
many ways they showed evidence of
much civilization. but they had semi
religious rite that called for the sacri-
fee of child at stated intervals. The
choice was made by lot and the pa
rents were expected not only to con-
sent unmurmurmingly but to partake
OF the feast. By some misehance got
myself hidden to this ceremony, and !
had broad tip that it would be pru-
dent for me not to refuse. / therefore
attended, and so did another white
man, who was literally and figurative-
ly, in the same boat with myself Yes,
we ate some Of the baby. 1t wasn't so
bad. but I've never hankered after it
since" The captain went back to the
bridge and the drift of the talk turned
away from things to eat.

was al this exposition that cotton lace
and silk thread were first shown, and

No further efforts were successful
until 1919, when another exposition
was held. after which those of 1923
and 1927 occurred with varying sue

position during the reign of Louis

great building covered an area Of
100000 square feet, and was built at a
cost of e12.000 Here nearly 5000
exhibitors were represented. and 3.73S

Gently opened a school Of arms, in the
Argentine republic, and, having been
subjected to some criticism by a local
journal, told the scribe in his own
frank, pleasant way what he thought
OF him. Reparation was demanded and
pistols were the weapons selected. The
conditions OF meeting were singular.
The adversaries were to be placed back
to back and at the word Of command
were each TO take fifteen steps forward
and then turn around and fire simulta-
neously On the ground the men were
placed as arranged, and, at the given
signal, began to march forward, one Of
the seconds counting the steps. PM
had only made five strides when he
heard report and the whistle of bull
let past his ear. He turned and saw
his adversary with the smoking pistol
in his hand. PM, in a furious rage,
dropped his weapon, rushed at his man
and gave him a sound threshing with
his fists. The seconds took sides for
their respective principals and gem
eral melee went forward until some
gendarmes arrived Pini's adversary

Ancient wedding House,.

In olden times certain towns and viii
lagos in England used to possess a
wedding house, where poor couples, az
ter they had been welded at church.
could entertain their friends at small
cost, the only outlay being the pur-
chase of such provisions for their
guests as they brought with them, the
house for the day being given free OF
payment At Braughing Cor Brach-
ingcs), in Hertfordshire, there was a
wedding house Of this kind, which had
a large kitchen with a cauldron. large
splits and dripping pan; a large room
for merriment and a lodging-room.
with good linen At Great Yeidham. in
Essex, there was another such house.
which was used by the poorer folk for
dining in after they returned from the
church. As the practice became ohso-
lete the wedding house was turned into
a school In 1456 Roger Thornton
granted to the mayor and community
of Neweastle-u pon-Tyne, the use OF the
hall and kitchen belonging to Thorn
tons hospital, for the use of young
couples. when they were married to
make their wedding dinner in, and re
ceive the offerings and gifts OF their
friends.
