Strange Foods.

From the London Chronicle.
We certainly waste many possible
foods, and miss many curious flavors.

flesh because he likes it. and with the
passage of the horse to the auction mart
we should take our motor to the dinner
party and hear the footnlan announce,
as he did during the siege of Paris. Ma

auckland, AS we have said. found disin-

experiments sometimes ended in such
a success as the boa constructor steak.
which he considered equal to deliciously
tender veal.
\ certain courage is necessary to
tackle the unusual food. But the Mis-
sissippi woodcutters are fond of stewed
rattlesnake-they call it musical Jack
and Greenlanders love the seal that has
been buried and disinterred in "a putrid
state. There are occidentals who have
eaten the Chinese egg. which has lain
in the earth these two years. And this
writer knows "A doctor who, as medi-
cal student-wishing to taste everything

be too cosmopolitan in the matter OF

Wrong Side Of the Table.

From Eserybodys
We once knew professional gambler

own. How do you account for that? He
would sit behind his own tables night

from the gamblers on the other side. and
when he had thus accumulated $4,000 or
$4,000, he would go and lose il all In one
sitting on the wrong side of another
mans table.

AS to the line north from Buluwayo. its
course has been altered considerably from
The original Rhodes plan. owing to the
better knowledge of the country and its
resources from later surveys Most of the
variations are due, however. to the pro-
jecting and building of feeders to the
main line. Thus a branch runs from Buu-

plan. and upon their survey and construc-

THE CAUSES OF DUST.

kinds. town and country dust.

BEET SUGAR PRODUCERS ACT
FORM AN ORGANIZATION TO
SAFEGUARD THE INDUSTRY.
Senate Adopts Resolution Calling on
Secretary of Agriculture for
Statistics on Subject.

Beet sugar producers and the senators
representing beet sugar states held an i'm
portant conference today in the rooms
occupied by Senator Burrows and formed
an organization, which is intended 10 take
in the senators from cane sugar states
the object of which will be to safeguard
the industry against the development of
the sugar industry in the Philippine
Islands in competition with the United
States.
Protests were made against the provi-
sion in the Payne bill for the free admis-
sion Of 10000 gross tons OF sugar an
nUally from the islands. on the ground
that there is nothing in the provision to
prevent the admission of a much larger
quantity at what would amount to re-
duced rate for the whole, by reason OF
the shippers proportioning the free export
sugar so that each would receive bene-
nit.
In other words 10000 tons would come
in at half the prescribed rates. or 100
Vo tons With a reduction of - per cent
of the established rate. Beet sugar pro-
ducers claim that in short time the in
dustry in the Philippines would be de-
Neloped TO such all extent that even such
reduction in tire rate would bring I'M
fair competition 10 the Industry in this

State High School Debating League.

For several years there has been
IN existence in Minnesota a state high
school debating league. This league
is open to any state high school. The
state is divided into nine districts,
these districts corresponding to the
congressional districts. A series of
debates is held in each district and
continues until one school is the
champion of the district. Then the
various districts of the state are
paired until there remains two teams
that have vanquished all opposing
teams. These two teams debate at the
state university in May and the
winning team wins a silver cup that
remains the property of the school
until won by some other school.
The Princeton high school has
joined the league for the present year
and Superintendent Marshall has
selected the following high school
boys to represent our school: Lisle
Jesmer, Jess Angstman and Archie
Hull. The first debate occurs with
Cambridge at that place on December
% and promises to be particularly
interesting. The question to be de-
bated is: Resolved, that Minnesota
should adopt the initiative and ref
erendum. " Princeton will take the
affirmative side and Cambridge the
negative. Cambridge will be repre-
sented by three girl debaters, viz,
Mildred Torrell, Geneva Peterson
and Eulatia Erickson.
