Prince Bismarck's Appetite.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
English people drink less nowadays than
oimerly, and for that reason their policy
has become worse" This is not the opinion
of prejudiced brewer. but of Bismarck as
quoted in the journal of Herr Eugen Wolf,
published in the Velhagen and Hastings
Review. Bismarck himself was certainly
not a happy argument for the teetotalers.
His taste in wine, according to these me-
mo!rs, appears to have been delicate, and
he once refused to drink German cham
payne, although ii was offered to him at
the emperOrs own table. Bismarck is, in
deed, rather a hard nut for the dietetic re-
former, If the story be in any degree true
which states his favorite food for supper to
have been hot lobster with plenty of wine.
The only answer that earnest reformers
can make is We suppose. that their rules
are intended for the use of ordinary, not of
exceptional, men; it is only the giants who
can drink at one sitting, as did Bismarck.

There is never doubt that Guatemala will
sell them willingly. if they are as trouble

But then arises the question: Suppose
they should be equally troublesome here?
Suppose that, after eating the weevils, they
should spread over the whole Mississippi
valley, forcing their way into houses and
driving the inhabitants into exile in the

Athletics in Syria.
From the World Today.

rom the Norlu louay
Oriental people are very averse to phys
ical exercise of any kind Their idea of en-
ioyment is to sit under an awning and play
backgammon. That a man should go out
and run around track in shameless naked
ness and this with no hope of gain, only
confirms them in the belief that all Ameri-
cans are mad. But they are initiative peo-
pie, and some years ago the influence and
example of the younger teachers got few
of the preparatory boys out for foot races.
That day, for Beirut, at least, the death
blow was struck to the picturesque dress of
the orient. You can't run hundred-yard
dash with long baggy drawers and silk
gumbez that iops around your ankles
Even if you ''gird up the loins. by tucking
your skirts into the sash, the effect is more
startling than speedy. So, one by one, the
students ordered trousers from the city tai
lors. At first they were poorly cut and
viewed with suspicion; but today there are
not three men in the collegiate department
who wear the old costume, and many of
the students dress with taste and an
elegance that their professors cannot AFFORD
to emulate.
Tennis and basket ball soon won their
place in the students favor; and now we
have gymnastic apparatus and regularly
graduated athletic director, who has
learned physical culture and boy nature
through a long experience in the gym
nasiums of America. But it was foot ball
that did the most toward unificatlon. The
value of team work Is new idea to eastern
college men. The old ideal was that of
every man for himself 1t has been so
since the time of Alcibiades and Absalom.
If 1t had not Leen so the history of the world
might have been different 1t was compar-
atiyely easy TO see the joy of winning
foot race or a tennis match; but to play an
untbeatrical part in a foot ball game. obey

the side; that was very different thing.

Dainties for Korean Palates.

From LGsIIeTs Weekly.
The Korean is omnivorous. Birds of the
air. beasts of the field and fish from the sea
nothing comes amiss to his palate Dog
meat is in great request at certain seasons;
pork and beef with the blood undrained
from the carcass: fowl and game-birds
cooked with the lights, giblets, head and
claws intact; fish. sun-dried and highly
malodorous-all are acceptable to him.
Cooking Is not always necessary: species
of small fish is preferred raw dipped into
some piQuant sauce. Other dainties are
dried seaweed. 3hrimps. vermiceli, pine
seeds, lily bulbs and all vegetables and
cereals. Their excuses make the Koreans
martyrs to indigestion.
