PRAIRIE DOG MEAT is GOOD.
oklahoma Farmer Says 1t Makes
Fine Eating.

Prairie dogs make good eating. This
is not generally known, and even where
it is known civilized people do not care
to be called Igorrotes because they eat
dog meat. 1.-The other day l met a
man," said prominent farmer Of the
Faxon neighborhood, who eats prai-
RE dogs, and if we had few more of
his kind we would soon get rid of the
little pests on our prairies.
Il had gone to Nelms," he continued.
ito attend to some business, and on the
road met couple of wagons containing
a man and woman and about ten chill
dren. They stopped to make some in
quiries about the road to Chattanooga.
and in the course of our conversation
the man remarked: There is plenty
of meat in these parts By questioning
him l learned that he referred to prai-
RE dogs and then he told me that he
and his family had been living on prai-
RE dog meat for about ten days and
avowed they had never in their lives
eaten better meat.
eaten them, too, and they are fine, es-
pecially the young ones. The hind quar-
tiers are a little heavier than a suuir-
rel, but the fore quarters and other
parts are better than squirrel. When
we hunted buffaloes over this country
a number of years ago we carried prai-
RE dog tallow with which to grease
our guns, and there is none better. At
that time we ate lots of prairie dogs.
THE only reason why people haven't
learned to eat prairie dogs is because
of the name. The little animals feed
etrictIy on vegetation and are clean.
Their meat is better than that of any
other animal that lives in the ground.
better than rabbits and better than
squirrels We could get rid of the
prairie dogs if our people would learn
to eat their meat"-Lawton News-Re

A Glimpse Into the Cars Kitchen.

A Glimpse Into the Cars Kitchen.
A Russian now in New York who
served two years in the Cars kitchen
at the winter palace in St. Petersburg,
has given some interesting details is
TO the cuisine of the imperial house
hold and the precautions taken against
any attempt to poison the autocrat of
all the Russians. The head chef of the
imperial kitchens holds the rank OF
general in the Russian army, receives
a salary of more than $4,000 year,
and is an important official Of the
State. Under him there is an army of
some 300 men Us chefs underchefs and
subOrdinateS. and also the keepers of
the wine cellars. Every dish that is
prepared for the imperial table must
first be partaken of by a major of the
army. the food is then placed in a
closed shaft. which the major also en-
tiers. and it then ascends to the dining
room Of the Gar. where the major
again partakes of it, and, no i'll effects
ensuing it is then served to the i'm
perial household. The menu is ordered
each day by the Gar who is a hearty
eater, and who occasionally demands
that new dishes be invented by his
chef. The dining-room in which the
regular meals are taken is small, made
of cast iron, is bomb-proof and is sealed
like bank vault between meals.

FOR NERVOUS PEOPLE

Pink Pills,

When the blood is impoverished the
nerves starve and neuralgia or something
more serious swiftly follows. Nervous
people are generally pale people. By
supplying through the blood those vital
elements that the nerves need, DR.. Will

performed those remarkable cures that
make it impossible for any nervous suf-
ferer to neglect them.

POVERTY AND pAUPERiSM.

Destitute in America said to Num-
Der Ten si1IIions.
Poverty and pauperism have been
studied by a hose of sociologists and
there is an immense literature upon the
subject. The most recent book, and,
III many respects, the most noteworthy,
is the one written by Robert Hunter,
who for many years has been a practi
cal worker among the submerged tenth,
says American Medicine He defines
poverty as the condition in which it is
not possible to obtain those necessaries
which will permit the maintenance of
a state of physical efficiency.
He also makes the astounding state
ment that there are 100000 people
IN poverty in the United States alone
one in every eight. Charles Booth cali
culates that 80 per cent of London's
population, or 100000 people, are in
poverty, and that the rate in smaller
towns is nearly the same C''Life and
Labor in London''), so that the phe~
nomenon is apparently universal, the
lower the civilization the greater the
percentage of the poor.
For many reasons the whole matter
is Of vital interest to the medical pro
fession. In the first place, such a con-
dition of affairs is q serious objection
to the new idea that our national diet
airy is too ig-one-eighth of us never
get enough. The racial deterioration
and individual degeneration which
must result in such condition of growth
Of children is a matter for serious
thought In the next place, when any
of the poor people become i'll, the bur-
den Of work falls on the doctor, who,
more than any other person in the
world, is expected to give assistance
without money and without price.
Hunter makes a great distinction be-
tween these poor and the paupers. who
expect and depend upon more or less
assistance even when they are well.
He estimates that there are 100000
paupers in the country; 100000 men
are unemployed four to six months ev-
cry year and cannot get work over
100000 children must work to help
support the family, and about 5.OOO,-
600 women must work, of whom 2.O0O,-
600 are employed in factories. Over
one-fourth of New York's people get
some kind of public or private relief
every year, and yet it is often impos-
sible to get domestics for love or
money.

Stransest Freak of Science.

1t is generally supposed that Prof.
Garner is the first man to study what
has come to be called the speech of
monkeys. As a matter of fact, the
honor belongs to Sir Richard Burton,
the famous orientalist, who translated
the Thousand and One Nights" Lady
Burton tells in her biography of her
distinguished husband that Sir Rich
ard believed firmly in monkey speech :;
that he had forty apes continually
with him for several years, and that
he had written down a monkey vocab-
ularly of sixty words. This vOcabu-
larry, unfortunately, was lost
Prof Garner can make a strange
monkey drink by saying a certain
word, and with another word he can
make it eat, and with another word
he can brighten it. But Sir Richard
Burton could do all these things, too

themselves in the smoker of the train,
whence the man looked steadily from
out of the car window. At last his

"a SILLY TOY"

Colonial diaries and letters make it
plain that our unfortunate ancestors
suffered much from jumping tooth
aches, swelled faces and the early loss
or forcible extraction of teeth when
at a later period might have been
saved TO render their owners many
years of further service. No wonder,
since the care of the teeth was little
understood, and that little often but
negligently practised.
