that Major Mckinley, whose nomina-
ton was then a foregone conclusion,

Baltimore has been decided upon as
the meeting place for the next inter
national Christian Endeavor conven-
ton, to be held July 5 to 10, 1905. The
new Fifth regiment armory, fronting
on Hoffman street, between Linden
and Park avenues, will serve as the
convention hall. 1t was begun in 1901
and has just been completed at cost
of $425,000. 1t is of stone and one of
the largest armories in the United
States. Its external dimensions are 1856
by $50 feet, and within it has a clear
floor space of 10000 square feet. 1t
will easily seat 10000 people, and the
Endeavorers anticipate filling it to its
utmost capacity.

What TheY Eat.

Nearly every nation has its own par
dcular form of food, and things which
some races would not, as the express
sion goes, ''touch with the tongs" are
considered by others as the greatest
luxury.
For instance while the Arab eats his
lotus bread and dhourra with the relish
of fresh dates, the Greenlander gorges
himself on animal fat and whale oil as
the necessary means of keeping
warmth in his body. Hindoos will not
touch any form of flesh, but live happi-
ly on rice and rancid butter. An Eng
lishman is supposed to value beef and
bacon above all other articles of food,
while the dwellers in the Apennines
live ON chestnuts. In ancient days the
Roman emperors were accustomed to
have a peacock served at all great
feasts as one of the principal dainties,
while in these days birds nests and
rats form choice dishes in a Chinese
menu.
Some people Jay that snail soup is
delicious. while the French assure you
that there are few more delicate dishes
than those made out of frogs legs.
