Strange Dishes

7 IONS flesh is said to furnish very good
- meal Tiger meat is not so palatabe; for
it is tough and sinewy In India, neverthe-
less it is esteemed, because there is a super
stition that it imparts to the eater some of the
strength and cunning that characterize the
animal. This notion IS not of course, held by
the followers of Brahma and Buddha, whose
religion forbids the eating of flesh.
There appears to be considerable difference
of opinion among authorities the subject as
to the merits of elephants flesh as an article
of diet By some it is considered a dainty;
but there is the authority of at least one
European against it Stanley said that he
frequently tasted elephants flesh, and that
it was more like soft leather and glue than any,
Another explorer however, declares that he
cannot imag ine how an animal so coarse and
heavy the elephant could produce such
delicate and tender flesh. All authorities
agree in commencing the elephants foot.
Even Stanley admitted that baked elephant
foot a dish fit for king.
When an elephant is shot in Africa the flesh
is cut into strips and dried. This is called
biltong. The foot, having been cut off at the
knee Joint, is saved to make a feast. hole
about three feet deep is dug in the earth, and
the sides of it baked hard with burning
wood. Most of the fagots are then removed,
and the elephants foot Is placed in the hole,
which is filled with earth tightly packed. The
process is completed by building blazing fire
on top. This is kept burning for three hours.
Thus cooked, the flesh is like jelly, and can be
eaten with a spoon. 1t is the greatest delicacy
that can be given to kahr.

French Bulls

bulls to be found in polite works are
not all the product of the Irish brain.
A novel that crowned by the French
Academy as possessed of unusual merit con-
tanned a sentence of which the following is a
translation:
1t was midnight. A man who lay in am
bush listened to their conversation; but sud-
denly a dense dark cloud passed in front of
the moon, and prevented him from hearing
more"
Another phrase, written in downright seri-
business by a master of French criticism runs
something like this:
1T was one of those duels in which one of
the blades literally bpries itself in the heart Of
the other"

TALES OF HORROR
FROM THE NORTH CAROLINA
HILL COUNTRY.
Diseased Mind Of Fratricide Wove
for Himself a Ferfui Punishment
Sitting for Hours with
Silent Ghost.

A man named Shelton Of Cherokee
county in the mountains Of North
Carolina, few years ago In some
drunken brawl killed his own brother
Escaping somehow the punishment Of
the law, he was given over to the
horror Of what he had done and from
his own mind wove for himself
frightful punishment He believed
and asserted as a fact that every
night hair was drawn from his head
by his slain brother, coming through
the night from the unseen regions OF
the hereafter for that purpose. 1t Is
known fact that Shelton did become
bald little by little until not hair
was left: and some Of his neighbors
believed in the nightly visitation OF
the dead man as firmly as the slayer
himself. No explanation was offered
and no deductions were made. That
nightly coming. the silent plucking oil
the hair, and the departure were ac'
cepted stoically as a thing actually
and undoubtedly happening and part
of the mans regular life and expert
ence. Shelton died recently after hav'
ing allowed himself with his gro
tesquely barred head to be exhibited
in a tent through mountain hamlets
as 1.-THE Modern CAIN" and the local
newspapers recall his story.
1t was another mountaineer. living
many miles from Shelton and de-
barred of anA possibility of knowing
about him, who told the mountain
girl he was about to marry that she
must reconcile herself to nightly
visit from a man he had killed, who,
he said, walked to his bedside and
sat with him an hour after mid
night. The stout-hearted bride mar
ried in firm expectation Of the ghostly
vigil at her couch and, according to
her sworn evidence in court, ELECTED
incidentally in the trial OF another
case and in the presence OF an audi
ence of Mortified, stiffened and breath
less mountain people, she was not dis
appointed. She swore that regularly
every night the murdered man kept
his tryst, and that she and her groom
lay awake and looked at him. 1t was
another man of this same neighbor'
hood who committed a murder and
undertook to dismember and hide the
body of his victim. He told his friend
that while he was carrying the sew
cred head in bag over his shoulder
across a certain wide hill where the
broom hedge was growing in the late
autumn, the head suddenly began tc
whistle a tune which was favorite
with the dead man.
What morbid poet or romanceI
could conceive more CHASTITY thought
than this--the severed head emitting
suddenly the whistling of lively
tune, on a bleak broom hedge hillside
in the solitude of an autumn midnight
with the moon looking coldly down?

STRIKES TIE UP BUTTE.
City Almost Isolated for the Last Six
Weeks.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
BUTTE. Mont, August 24.-This city
is tied up completely by labor strikes
For six weeks the city has been without
a telephone service on account of a SYM
pathy strike Of operators and lineman for
some striking linemen in Utah The
courts have sustained mandamus writs
against the Rocky Mountain Bell Tele-
phone Company to compel 1t to operate
It's line, but, so far as Butte is concerned
the company has made no effort to resume
service.
The telegraphic strike almost complete
ly isolated Butte from the outside world,
and the newspapers contain no informa-
tion of anything going on outside of Mon
tana except through clippings from other
newspapers that are three days old.
The strike of the mail clerks several
months ago has left the post office service
in a frightfully crippled condition, and
mail delivery is almost as uncertain as the
telegraph. Only occasionally is an at
tempt made to distribute second class
mail matter and Postmaster Gill Is un-
able to handle the situation or promise
any relief.
The strike of the machinists is grad
ually closing down the mines of Butte.
The machinists went out about a month
ago The machinists are demanding q
raise from $3.50 to IS a day.

CANNOT KEEP THE PACE.
British Criticise Elaborate Functions
of Ambassador Reid in London.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON August 24.-The American
friends of Ambasse dor Reid deeply resent
the criticisms made in English society Of
his magnificent hospitality during the past
season in London. Insinuations are freely
made that it is inappropriate and preten-
tious for an ambassador to give entertain
ments rivaling those of royalty in splendor.
The reply to this is that the Reids have
lived in London nearly on the same Scale
as they have been accustomed to in Amer
lea.
1t is unkind and unjust, therefore, for the
English, whose pace happened to be SIM
pier than the American ambassadors, to
condemn him for following in London the
social customs of his wealthy countrymen
at home Mr.. Reid's American admirers in
London hope, therefore, that he will con-
tinue to make Dorchester House, which is
the finest mansion in the metropolis, the
scene of the most dazzling functions ever
known to London.
