QUEER MEATS FOR FOOD.

From the London Globe.
The popular prejudice against snails
is incomprehensible when the favor of
oysters, periwinkles. mussels and cock
les is considered. In many Lon
don restaurants, particularly in Soho,
snails now figure on the daily menu.
This is an imported taste from France,
but in the west country snails are high
ly esteemed by the lower classes. A
year or two ago a clergyman cited as
an illustration of poverty in Bristol
that he had seen working girls pick
snails off a wall and eat them.
AS a matter OF fact the snail is ex-
tensively eaten in Somerset and Glou-
cestershire, both as a dainty and a
medicine. There are men who make a
living by collecting snails and selling
them under the name OF wall fish. ="

Crocodile Steak.
In Germany bears flesh is greatly
favored. and smoked bear tongues,
hams and sausages are both appetizing
and expensive. Ever since Paris, in
the siege of 1870-71, was driven to eat
ing up the animals at the zoo camePs
flesh has been demanded by French
gourmets. Remarkably like beef in
appearance. it is as tender as veal,
and there are Parisians who import
1t regularly from Algeria. On the same
testimony, lion steaks are reported to
be only moderate eating, while tiger
is both tough and sinewy Jaguar
flesh, however, is delightfully."- white and
toothsoIne, and alligators and croco-
diles provide a meal of the most deli
cate flavor. midway between that Of
veal and pork.
Beef and mutton. with pork so en-
tirely make up the menu that we act
ually regard lamb and veal as distinct
dishes. Why should not goat flesh be
introduced into the bill of fare? 1t is
good eating, as Robinson Crusoe and
Don Juan testify. In France 1t is
largely eaten, Paris alone requiring
100000 goats annually for the table.
CtAl nGlSIlDOIS also G0JOH In6 uOHhGy,
whose flesh. when killed young, re-
sembles that of the turkey, though
of much finer flavor.
Though a hippophagic banquet ar
ranged by the late Sir Henry Thomp-
son was held in London some years
ago, it is still almost dangerous to
suggest horse flesh to an Englishman
as food. In reality it is very excellent
eating, and only prejudice can gainsay
the fact. Old and wornout horses can
not afford either nourishment or palat-
able meat. but that of a horse reared
like an OK. for the table, has a finer
fiber and flavor than beef, though
darker in color. 1t is served in the
best French restaurants. as well as
being largely eaten by the people.
The Cat Misjudged.
"It was in Paris" wrote Mr.. Van
dam, the author of "An Englishman
in Paris" that I learned how the cat
had been misjudged. Call the dog the
friend of man, if you like, but don't
eat him. Fry him, stew, boil or bake
him, do what you will, his flesh is and
remains oily and fiabby, with a strong
flavor of castor oil. But declare that
stewed pusS is far finer than stewed
rabbit
This testimony the writer can per-
sonally corroborate, having recently
been invited to a dinner given by
gourmet of eccentric tastes. The dish
of the evening was "Chat aux Cham
nignons." Soaked in white vinegar
with aromatic herbs, and cooked in
red wine. the cat made a most savory
dish, and after the prejudice of the
first mouthful. one was bound to adj
NIT its succulence and flavor. The
same verdict must be given for rat
pie by any who have eaten 1t. At
threshing time in the north country
some farmers capture and convert the
rats from the ricks into stew or pie.

New York, Oct. 24.-There was an
other break in cotton this morning and
December sold at about 9h cents. 1t
was nothing but cotton all the morn
ing. It seemed to come from every
direction and in such quantities that
there was no buying power strong
enough to take the stuff and hold the
price It was the heavy sales by the
South and spectators that discour-
aged the pit. There was so little in
ducement to buy that the traders who
usually buy on a decline did not try
it this morning. When the rally came
later in the day it was all the quicker
because those who have been waiting
for the first signs of a let up in the
pressure rushed in and bought. The
tone improved considerably after the
morning break. This improvement
should have been shown early in the
day when it was seen that frosts had
taken place all through the Atlantic
coast region. There were too many
orders put in over Sunday, and the
break was greater than it should have
been. Now that frosts have come it
seems as though smaller crop ideas
will prevail on the future. There are
many sane men who believe big yield
out of the question with frosts at this
date.

New York, Oct 24-There was con-
tinued liquidation this morning in
spite of more or less general frosts in
the western belt. Early the extent and
severity of these frosts were not fully
appreciated and when the actual facts
began to came in showing that tenn
peratures were below 80 degrees in
many sections with ice and killing
frost more or less general, the market
made very Disappointing response
and after moderate rally from the
extreme depression of the morning
around midday, sold off again. Gables
were better than expected, being un-
changed to l point higher at the hour
OF the local opening. when a decline
OF to 4 points was due. The local
market opened to points higher
but the South sent more selling orders
and while there was more or less
covering, prices before noon had
reached new levels with January SELL
ing at $3.50 against 9.75c at the OPEN
ing. At this level there was a rally
carrying that month to about 9.67c
after which values again slipped off.
II looks as though local professionals
took the view that no rally of i'm
portance could be expected until al
ready available supplies are reduced,
