In a recent Egyptian review may be
found some curious extracts from Al
Djahez. n celebrated scientist of the
tenth century. Speaking of the ia
vorite dishes OF the Arabians OF that
epoch, he says that they considered
the flesh Of young dogs II great deli
cacy and also ate grasshoppers and
scorpions with much relish. Moreover.
they esteemed the flesh Of black cats
highly. since they maintained that any
one who ate II could not be injured
either by sorcery OF by the evil eye
Al Diahez also says tina he was dis
appointed when he found that the
Arabian tribes of Bassorah did o eat
grasshoppers. but. on the other hand,
was highly delighted to find his friend.
the famous poet Roobah. feasting roy
ally on roast rats and lizards. The
Arabians, he says in conclusion. also
ate serpents and horses. but took the
utmost care only TO serve ut table
horses which had been harnessed. as
they did not consider 1t right to eat
those which had been ridden.

There are about 100000 migratory
sheep in Spain. which eac yea travel
as much as 200 miles from the plains to
the mountains. They are known as
transhumantes, and their march. rest
ing places and behavior are governed
by special regulations, dating from the
fourteenth century. AT certain times
no n may travel b same route "a
the sheep, which have the right to
Craze on all open and common land on
the way. Fol- this purpose a road nine
ty yards wide must be left on all in
closed and private property. The shep-
herds lead their tlocks. which follow
after and around. The fiOcks are ac-
companled by provision mules and by
large dogs to guard against wolves.
The merino sheep travel o miles to
the mountains. and the total time spent
on the migration there and back is
fourteen weeks.
