1t must be conceded that a tethered goose
is an abnormality, as is also goose with
an abundance of food, it must be ad-
mitted that the aforesaid abnormal
goose's excessively portly liver must also
be abnormal-but diseased, never!
With this sort Of strategic Introduction
Albion takes up the charge that beef and
pork have been substituted for the fat
liver. He AYERS that the facts are these:
In packing the pates de foie gras the
packer cuts out a hunk that approximate
ly fits the can. But there remain mister
stices that safe transit requires to be
filled. These are filled with hashed liver
or pork. Over the whole is then poured
melted fat of the liver or of beef suet. Elk
-perience has developed the fact that the
sipates keep better when suet Is used
and also that the American taste prefers
"the greenish fat of the goose, which is
repulsive to persons with weak stomachs
and Americans in general, who have a ma
tional dislike of messy dishes

sucn an extent as to absorb annually many
millions of dollars worth of this product, and
the other settling UP so rapidly as to create
demand equal to the days of the settling up
