The stories about the Frenchmen
eating snails are believed by may
people to have no foundation in fact,
but snals are eaten and to a very con-
siderable extent in France. Nearly
100000 pounds weight of snails are
sold daily in Paris markets to be eaten
by dwellers in that city. They are
carefully reared for the purpose in eX-
tensive snail gardens in the provinces
and fed on aromatic herbs to give them
4 fine flavor. One such garden in Di-
jon is said to bring in to its proprietor
several thousand francs a year.
Many Swiss cantons also contain
large snail gardens, where they are
reared with great pains. They are not
only regarded as great delicacy, but
are considered very nutritious. Hy-
gienists state that they contain II per
.ent. heterogeneous matter and that they
are equal to oysters in nutritive prop

Snails are also extensively used as IN
article of food in Australia, Spain,
Italy and Egypt and the countries on
The African side of the Mediterranean.
Indeed, the habit of snalis as food has
existed in various parts of Europe for
many centuries.

Writing of diseases of the memory,
A Russian doctor gives an interesting
account of some of the eccentricities Of
his patients. In the case of Il literary
man. some time previous to his seeking
advice he had been troubled with IN
absolute failure of memory.
He could remember exactly every
thing he had done more than year
ago. but occurrences of later date he
had entirely forgotten. When attack
ed by the disease he was engaged in
writing a novel. which he had half
finished. He remembered the first
half, but could not toll how he had
intended to finish it. He was at last
unable to remember whether he had
dined
In another case the patient tells Of
his travels, but reports the tales Il
dozen times an hour, with the same
phrases. He would play a game of
cards carefully and well; five minutes
afterward he would mention that he
had not played for weeks. He would
say Good morning." when the doctor
made his first visit of the day, but did
not remember the visit three minutes
later, if the doctor again looked in.
