 The low Arab gorges himself on hyena so rank and offensive that even dogs leave it with disgust. But some Amer jeans eat the po,.o t, the possum, the coon and the fox. Italians are extrava- gantly fond of the fox. In the Arctic regions a fox pie is a piece de resistance at any dinner.
 Prairie dog was good enough for Ere mont, while Lewis and Clark discovered that in an emergency they could subsist on wolf, coyote and burros. Sam Ward said that a stew of tadpoles, with Ma deira sauce, was better than diamond back terrapin, yet he did not care par ticularly for snails or smoked porcupines. Salted hippopotami he could go on pinch, but rhinoceros-never He had only high praise for cameps flesh, and once ate bit of rattlesnake chowder.
 Ii Hung Chang travelled over all the world with his silk-lined turtle wood cof- fin and a bag of eggs 5000 years old. His notion was that he might die at any mo- ment, and that at the same time the eat Ing of an egg mummy once a day would prolong his life.
 The low class Chinaman waxes fat upon worms, sea slugs, horses, black frogs, added eggs, putrid ducks and chickens, dogs and puppies, and the aristoeratic and costly birds nests. The average low New York politician indulges in beef, beans, coffee and sinkers.

PAPER DRAWS ATTENTION
 TO THE SPIRIT IN INDIA

London. July 1.-The London Daily Tel egraph, which has consistently drawn at tention to the seditious spirit in India, publishes the following from its Bombay correspondent:
 Some examples of the evil which the press act is designed to check are afforded by the proceedings in the Bombay police court against two native newspapers. In one case Ramchandra Narayen Mandlik, B. A., a Konllani Chitpavan Brahmin. 27 years old, editor. printer and publisher of the Wharf a weekly Marathi newspa- per published in Bombay. appeared to an- swer charge of publishing seditious mat ter in his paper. In the Vihari of April 1S last were verses, under a Marathi head ing. which could be rendered in English "The Awakening" Some of the stanzas were to the following effeet
 This land of ours is our second moth CT. How can you calmly witness her per- secution? You came out of her ribs Why did you not die in the very first month
 Your motherland, who feeds and fat tens you, has tainted. How do you forget her? Fie upon you, you brutes!

Plaint of Literary Workers.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
 An army of writers, it appears, is in arms against the editors of maga- zines and the publishers of books. The complainants declare with bitterness that the literary world is a close cor poration in the hands of obtuse and owlish persons suffering from intellec- tual myopia, or that they herish an in tense hatred for all new writers and a determination to maintain ring by admitting into the circle of profit and fame only their own friends. This is one of the sheerest follies of the time The fame and fortunes of host of ephemeral American writers of the present day refute the insinuatlon and rob the complaint of a semblance of reasonablesness.
 This is, in truth, "a great day" for the literary and even the unliterary writer. The publishers and the editors are straining their nerves and craning their necks for readable copy. Two or three mediocre novelists have lately written pleasantly and industriously, and their rewards within few years are greater perhaps than Thackeray received TOT ms llle WOTk. MI. DOOlty strikes an amusing vein of humor, an1 he will scarcely speak to a publisher George Ade turns out from his brum- magem factory the inanities which a literary man would be ashamed to be caught redhanded in the act of reading, and he becomes a grandee and landed proprietor. Booth Tarkington jumped into the automobile class as jauntily as one may "cut caper," and the pub fisher is afraid to make a suggestion 70 any one of a dozen of our contempor- ary commercial producers in the lit erary line" for fear that the little thing" he wants will cost about $3OO0."
 So eager are publishers and editors to get interesting reading that they have ignored all the canons of literary art and are without any sort z; squeamishness as to style or form or inspiration.
 The literary remonstrants are mis- taken. This is the writer's own dap The publishers and editors pay for poor stuff, and if any aspirant thinks he has been i'll treated let him write q book ,r two as good as Stevenson's Kid naped" or David Balfour" and he will ind all the publishers swarming around him with checkbooks, even as the greedy flies beset the honey pot.

ence by your own conduct? Fife upon you, you brutes!
 lowing to the prosecutions practiced by him even religion is destroyed. How Is 1t that anger Is not produced in your minds Why do you remain still like lifeless beings? Fie upon you, you brutes!
 When the Almighty created this uni- verse He bestowed freedom upon all. That being lost, how can you remain quiet You should die on the battlefield for the sake of independence"
 An article in another issue of the same paper was to the effect that they had no name, no country. They had long been trodden under foot. Now the fire was ia be extinguished; they wanted individu liberty and national union. They had tense hatred against the foreigners, they are nonplused by brute force. pie spat on their facesl They should gin to act quickly. When ground, knife acquired keen edge.

 their truck, but they, like those engaged in other occupations have felt the effects of the scarcity of money, and at times have disposed of truck at very low fs- ures, but as rule they have ready market, and now say that the demand IS increasing.
 F. D. Fuller sets good example of what an energetic, progressive hustler can do in such a business. Last year he bought a place at East Brighton and 1t was little late when he decided to plant 10 truck garden, but he engaged a man to put the stubble ground in condition. Fuller came from the north, and his home up there happened to be in a district where the farmers were well supplied with implements for preparing and tIlling the soil. He, therefore was much surprised to find that the man had no drag har- row. for breaking and pulverlzing the elods after blowing. What are you going to do about those clods," says he to the man. Well, l can tie two tree logs and orag over it," was the reply.
 This did not suit MT. Fuller, so he sets out to buy complete lot of up-to-date implements. With the use of harrow, a flve-tooth cultivator fitted with ''horse hoe attachments and other small modern showing this year, outstripping some gardeners who started much earlier and under better conditions.
 Why fruit growing and poultry raising is not more extensively engaged in around this vicinity Is surprise to me, said a citizen, flor the small orchards and vineyards produce a nice size fruit of d delicious flavor, and this certainly is a good market for everything of this kind.

ODD DISHES RELISHED.
Monkeys Served as Food-Likewlse Hyenas, Tadpoles and Polecats.

From the New York Press.
 It is now almost an open secret that one of our gay young blades, about to step into the cobwebs of matrimony, gave a feast to g of his friends which consisted largely of tender young mon key, highly seasoned and spiced, and baked in a jar set in the earth, with a fire over it, in real gypsy fashion. The Dyaks of Borneo eat snakes and alli- gators, but prefer roasted monkey to anything else-roasted with the hair on. The Idaho Indians would not know how to give feast without roast dog. Why

Postmaster Receives Letter.

When it became known in Bessemer that Bryan had been nominated, w. T. Kennedy, the we'll known undertaken, immediately wrote Postmaster George R. Lewis requesting him to "clean up' the postoffice and get things in good shape. ready to turn over on March 5.
 It did not take long for it to get circulated around that the letter had been written, and pr. Lewis has been besieged all day by his numerous friends and the exchanging of good humored jests has brought forth many hearty laughs.
 Dr. Lewis, like the Irishman, gives every one an "evasive" answer when asked as to his reply to Mr. Kennedy, but he does not seem to be losing any sleep over the outlook.

Water for Jonesboro,

Arrangements are trying to be made whereby Jonesboro will have better fire protection and sanitary appurtenances.
 MT. Adler of the Bessemer Water Works company is said to have made the city c proposition to extend his pipe lines out there and put in a sufficient number of fire plugs for the guaranteed sum of $300 per month. It seems that there wers some features of the contract that did not exactly suit the authorities, and the mat ter is still pending" Mayor Martin will recommend to the City Council that the city attorney be instructed to draw up a counter proposition and present to MT. Adler and try to effect a compromise whereby they can get the water, which will not only be the means of their get ting a better fire insurance rate but will add greatly to the convenience of the citl-

We do won.ler why people try so
hard to make their houses ugly, in
side and out. They spend dollars,
yes, lots of them, toe--in filling
their dwelling with what is neither
useful or ornamental, when a few
cents and perhaps little more
sense would make them handsome.
The best parlor, what misery sits
enthroned within its forbidding
doors! When you make visit you
are invited within its sacred por-
tails. The door creaks, as if pro-
testing against the invasion. A
clammy atmosphere envelopes you as
you enter that makes you involun-
tary shudder and wonder if the
room is haunted. You sit on a hair
cloth chair and clutch frantically at
the arms to keep from slipping off.
The ambrotypes of deceased uncles
and cousins and aunts look down at
you from their oval frames and
scowl. The whatnot in the corner
10 covered with bric-a-brac intend
ed to be ornamental, but which
looks more like a play house replete
with broken dishes and empty bot
ties, and kept in the best room in
memory of some child, dead years
ago. You feel in your bones that
there has been no one in that room
for months before and that when
you go out it will be once more
sealed like tomb and left to

Il never could and never shall be

We al knew, but no one answered,

Only one out Of the crowd would
