Eating a Living OK.

Only the very few among us run any
risk, In the course Of our peregrinations
and vicissitudes, Of being invited TO
such Objectionable dinners as 1t was
the lot Of Bruce. the explorer, to eat.
Such very nasty feeders as the Abys-
sinians Of his day are becoming ex-
tinct. Fancy sitting down TO table and
seeing the meat walk alive into the
room! That was their custom. And
they ate 1t alive, too, the brutes!
The wretched OK was tied fast, head
and legs, and then, by a delicate in
cision on both sides OF the backbone,
near the launches, the attendants were
able to strip its skin away, to enable
them to cut slices from the poor ami
NAL again and again without touching
an artery. The guests ate the meat
raw and quivering to the music Of the
rOars and believing Of pain Of the OK
Of which 1t was part.
This Is hideous, and even the least
particular Of men may be excused for
Sinking an experience OF the kind.
