FICTITIOUS FooD-NAMES.
Delusion That Exists in the Terms
Applied 10 Various Ar
ticles on Sale.


George X. Holmes. chief of division

riculture. prepared for the year book
Of the department a treatise on the
peculiarities of consumers In their sys-
TENS of marketing and the delusions
they allow themselves to be placed UNI
der OF blunder into themselves. The
digest has been considered serviceablo
for reprintlng in pamphlet form under
the title OF Consumers Fancies."
The pamphlet points out the mistake
people OF small means make In always
selecting the choice or most expensive
cuts OF meats. when many OF the UNI
sought cheaper parts OF the animal are
equally or even more nutritious. II
quotes a meat trades journal on re-
cent prices as follows: Porterhouse
steak. 20 cents; prime rib. rs cents;
sirlolns. 12is cents; round. cents;
rump. cents; neck pieces, about 3
cents. per pound. respectively. II COM
ments in the following strain:
Although epicurians admit and
chemists demonstrate that the neck
piece is toothsome and nutritious, II
bears the lowest price. In fact II would
hardly be considered respectable 10
ask the butcher for a piece OF the neck.
Perhaps a low order OF proficiency In
the housewives cooking In the past
gave the neck piece its low place. The
story might have been different had
the housewife OF former times pos
sessed the French housewives ability
to utilize meats In the making OF at
tractive and delicious dishes" The
point OF the argument Is that cheap
cuts are as good as dear when judi
ciously selected and properly cooked.
The pamphlet also treats OF the de
fusion that exists In the terms applied
TO various subsistence commodities by
which their sale Is Influenced. Note
the following: "The amount OF Can
ada lamb sold in the United States Is
enormous The word Canada has the
same magical effect upon lamb prices
that the word philadelphia has upon
spring poultry OF that Of Long Island
on fresh eggs. These ictlons seem 70
sell the product, and the eating public
appears to feel satisfied. BY tseking
the word Canada on to his peooust the
butcher Is enabled TO get two cents
more per poand for It, or. II he adj
heres to normal prices his customers
think they are getting something IN
usual for their money. In certainly IS
per cent. OF the cases they are getting
plain domestic lamb. and about so
times out OF 100 are not getting lamb
at all, but mere mutton"
Many other commodities are set
forth under their respective delusive
titles with the same unreserved treat
ment OF the receptions practieed in re-
gard to them. A single illustration
would seem to be all SUFFICIENT, how
ever.

HYPNoTIsM FOR TOBACCO.
Also Used in the Treatment Of Drunk
enness and Morphine
Craving.

Bereznltsky strongly advocates the
employment Of hypnotism in the treat
ment OF drunkenness, the morphine and
tobacco habits. The author argues.
says the New York Medical Journal.
that there are no drugs which can be
hoped to cure these habits, and that
modern medicine has found the most ef-
ficient means OF combating them by
mental suggestion. In connection with
alcoholism and the combat against II in
various countries, he mentions the pro-
hibition laws existing in some OF our
states, but adds that such laws would be
impossible I'm European countries. The
governments Of the American states
which prohibit the sale OF liquor rightly
calculate that the loss In revenue which
Is antailed by such laws Is compensated
to the state by the increased healthful-
ness of the population. on the other
hand, the government monopoly of the

tries e. &. Russia). not only does not d.
minish the evil. but prevents its proper

cases can be confined for time. also
under hypnotic treatment. AS regards
the treatment of the tobacco habit, he
advises that tobacco be prohibited en-
tirely as soon as the treatment Is be-
gun. No bad effects result from such a
sudden removal OF this drug as are noted
in the case Of opium. Hypnotism easily
cures the tobacco habit, but the cures are
not often permanent, as smokers re-
sumo the habit more easily than other
drug habitues They do not regard this
habit as seriously as do morphine eat
ers. The results Of treatment with hyp-
notism in alcoholics have been various
ly stated at from 20 to so per cent. OF
cures. The author thinks that 30 per
cent. is the correct estimate. and that
the high figures given by some observ-
ers are due TO enthusiasm over a new
method OF treatment. But even 80 per
cent. of cures is a satisfactory result IL

Pygmy Marriages.

Some hitherto unpublished facts
about the habits Of the African pygmies
are contained in a pamphlet just pub
lished by Col. Harrison, who brought
from central Africa the party of little
people now in London. The pygmies
generally marry at the age of eight or
nine, and the men buy their wives with
three or four spears and ten to fifteen
arrows. according to the market value
of the lady. They pay by installments.
and not until the last arrow is handed
over is the lover allowed to take his
bride. A man may have as many wives
as he can AFFORD to buy. The birth OF a
boy is welcomed, but when girl baby
arrives the unfortunate creature is
soundly dashed by the father with a
bunch Of plantain leaves.-N. Y. Sun.
