STRANGE BEASTS FLESH AS
FOOD

1t may be doubted whether we do not
lose much from the gastronomic point
of view by our over-fastdiousness in
eating. One who has recently expert
mented upon the flesh of strange ami
mails says that crocodile, though tast-
ing somewhat of musk. is yet far from
unsavory meat. Elephants foot is a
delicacy well known to African travel
ers, and the flesh of lions, is said to
taste well, differing therein from that
of the tiger, which is dry and full Of
nerves, The rhinoceros is said to fur
nish sort of cross between pork and
beef, while all are agreed that the mon
key is capital eating, and better than
the best rabbit. The opossum and the
kangaroo only require to be known to
be appreciated. while the flesh of the
seal, though rather dark, is extremely
nutritious, and above all, very digesti-
BILE. All these are animals which, al
though unfamiliar to most of us, have
in themselves nothing repulsive or I'M
slightly. When we come to hear that To-
Gusts are at least as good eating as
shrimps, and that nine-tenths of the
ported lobster in circulation Is made
from octopods we think it well to drop
the curtain. There are some mysteries
which should not be pried into too
closely.--Pall Mall Gazette.

when seen to-day in relation to the dispatches

authorities had decided that five battalons Of
the troops now in Cuba could be withdrawn,
but that it was believed that this would be a
dangerous move on account of the yellow fever,
declared that he knew nothing regarding any
such movement. but insisted that there was
not any yellow fever at any point from which
troops could be taken. ...-.-.
The only yellow fever in Cuba is at Santiago
and Puerto Principe The Army doctors say
that the principal danger in moving troops from
Cuba now would he fevers resulting from the
change Of climate Of which numbers OF cases
were discovered last year when the troops were
withdrawn from Santiago. Many Army officers
consider that the removal OF the troops now
would be q questionable policy. as, though Cuba
is ouiet. whenever troops have been Withdrawn
in large numbers from any point In the Island
their removal has been followed Immediately by
numerous outrages by bandits. as has oeen
shown in the province Of Santiago.
