AbOreaI Freaks.

Among the curiosities of tree life is
the solar, or whistling tree, of Nubia
When the winds blow over this tree it
gives out flute-like sounds, playing
away to the wilderness for hours at a
time strange, weird melodies 1t is the
spirit Of the dead singing among the
branches, the natives say, but the
scientific white man says that the
sounds are due to a myriad of small
holes which an insect bores in the
spines of the branches
The weeping tree of the Canary ISL
ands is another arboreal freak. This
tree In the dryest weather will rain
down showers from it's leaves, and the
natives gather up the water from the
pool formed at the foot of the trunk.
and find it pure and fresh. The tree
exudes the water from innumerable
pores situated at the base of the
leaves.

Thus goes the old familiar song:
How dear to my heart are the scenes

however, one may interpose an excep-

There was something sacrosanct about

Lisbon and ST. Petersburg two start;

They are the cooks of four great
kings.
without the best buffers, vinegars,
wines, truffles, mushrooms, herbs,
cream, spices and raw materials of all
kinds, there is no grand cookery. The
pantry chef hands out the ingredients
of every dish completely garnished to
his colleagues. He has one speciality.
All cold dishes are his particular care
The kitchens of Edward, the Gar,
Alfonso and Leopold are to-day near
perfection. Francis Joseph up to ten
years ago kept the most princely table
of them all. When age forced him to
go slow he still invited the archdukes
and their suites. Then finally the force
was handed over to the Archduke
Ferdinand, whose simple living is nat
ural and whose enthusiasm did not
last year. For the first time in
1000 years the court of the Holy Ro-
man Empire (till 1909 had no longer
the greatest kitchen Of the world.
To-day Francis Joseph eats alone.
When he goes on gastronomic spree
it is with frankfurters and horserad-
ish, with ''spaetzle" cakes. But the
kitchens Of Nicholas, Edward, Alfonso
and Leopold are run on the great old
lines of:
/. A pantry chef.
2. A chef of soups, entrees and hot
desserts, including souff1es, fritters
(sweet or otherwise), hot fruit croutes,
etc.
8. A chef rooster, who also directs
all grills and fries.
4. A sauce chef, who rules over all
that carries a sauce; fish, praised
meats, etc, i. e., the majority of
dishes.
5. A pastry cook.

Meat has been officially introduced
as part of the Japanese army diet,

Of diet is to avert repeXtion of the
scourge OF beri-beri which Slapped the
