Some Exploded Food FalIacies,

Fish as a food of the brain worker
must be consigned to the limbo Of
vanities, though certain forms of fish
are the cheapest of all foods, notably
the bloater. Oysters and turtle soup
are frauds. 1t would take IA oysters
to equal the nourishment of one egg
and 223 to provide the same amount
of nutriment contained in a pound Of
beef
Salt fish, especially salt fat fish, is
the most valuable food for the poorer
classes, and whole races in the south
of Europe live on the Newfoundland
cod. Canned salmon we see at IS
pence a pound is no more expensive
than cod at sixpence. Millions of peo-
pie live on it, and the North American
settler who is not well provided with
cash finds it good substitute and
change from flesh meat at times.
Frogs legs are not of high nutritive
value, which need not surprise us.
Turtle soup from the chemists point
of view Is not worth tenth of the
price paid for it.-EXchange.

Set For the Wrong Time.

He works in down town Office for
a gruff old chap who has no love for
laggards. He ia due at sharp, but
as he likes to be out O. nights he never
wakes up moment too soon. He has
an alarm clock, which he sets at 7,
and this gives him barely time to
dress, breakfast and reach the Office.
One day last week, the man having
forgotten to wind his clock the night
before, 1t didn't 60 Off. So there were
explanations to be made about $50 a.
m. This was the excuse:
swell, you see, Mr.. Gruff, know
how punctual you like all of your men
to be, so have an alarm clock, which
l set for in the morning. But, by
mistake. l set 1t for in the evening
last night, and of course it didn't go Oft
at in the morning today, as usual.
AID l oversight myself"
"Ah, you did? Well, I'll excuse you
this time. But set it properly after
this"
And now the chap is wondering
whether or not "the old man" was real
ly fooled or merely wanted to let him
down easy. Perhaps he thinks the
boss believes he has "a hour clock

Why Dinah Went.

Not long ago lieutenant in the navy
was ordered away on three years
cruise. The order had been dreaded
for weeks, and when 1t came the young
wife. who was to be left in a Brook
Ign fiat with baby and colored serv-
ant, was in despair
She controlled her sorrow very well,
however until the actual moment of
parting came. and then she wept as
though her heart would break. The
cruiser was to leave the navy yard
early next morning. and the lieutenant
had gone to report for duty.
In the midst of her lamentations the
young wife heard shifting and Sob
bling in the dining room, and upon
glancing through the door she saw
Dinah, the colored maid rocking her
body to and fro in a chair and weeping
violently.
"Why, D-D-Dinah, what's the m-mat-
ter?' cried the mistress. "You seem
to t-t-take Mr.. Blanks departure as
much to heart as DIDO"

Bull Batting.

Although bull batting was cruel
pastime, 1t was also fulfilling Of the
law, for formerly no butcher was al.
lowed to offer for sale the flesh of any
bull that had not been baited. The
goading of the animal in fury was
supposed to have some influence on tn.
flesh. In a similar belief the flesh Of a
hunted hare was thought to be superior
In flavor to that of one that had been
shot, and present Of "a hunted hare"
was considered to be special compli
ment. In the records Of the corpora
ton of Leicester, England, the follow
ing order appears: Eat common hall,
held on Thursday before st. Simon and

Maddened by Solitude.

The Canadian northwest is a proba-
tionary haven for wealthy young Eng
glishmen Of nomadic instincts. Mum"
bers of them annually purchase hunt
ing and camping outfits from the Hud-
son Bay company and strike into the
barren lands to prospect for minerals
or take up land on the prairies. But
most often they return to the civilian
ton of the towns with nothing but
hard words for the wilderness.
r The construction of the Temiscaming
railroad induced the younger son Of
one wealthy English family to take a
trip into that outlandish district. He
returned to Ottawa a disappointed
man. Its the most desolate country
you can imagine" he said to his
friends. 81 have been out prospecting
sometimes for a whole day without
seeing a sign Of animal life. Once the
only living thing came across was a
bird, and it was so disguised that it
was trying to knock its brains out

The Song of the Grouse.

Certain birds when the period of
eourtship comes round repair to partic-
ular trysting places and announce their
presence there by well known calls or
signals.
The ruffed grouse. as every one
knows, seeks an old log or other con-
venient perch and drums with his
wings, hint TO any lady grouse with
In hearing that "Barkis is willin."
The performance of the grouse is one
frequently heard. but comparatively
seldom seen. and for many years there
were numerous conflicting theories
concerning the means by which the
drumming was produced. Some said
that the sound was vocal, and others
declared that the grouse struck the log
with its wings. Even today the pre-
else cause of the sound Is not known,
for, although the bird has been closely
watched, Its wing movements are SO
rapid that it is next to impossible to
tell exactly what takes place. This
much, however, Is known: During the
performance the grouse stands upon
the leg or other perch and strikes the
air in front of his body somewhat after
the manner Of an elated barnyard cock.
The first few strokes are measured, but
they become faster and faster until the
individual thumps are lost, as in the
rolling Of a drum. Whether the sound
Is due entirely to beating Of the air or
whether it is increased by the striking
together of the wing tips is question
yet to be rehabilitation Times.
