SOME OTEER FOODS.

Fashions in foods gary as do most
of mans deeds with taste and circum-
stance 1t has been truly said that
''one mans meat is another mans
poison" What to one race of people
will seem a perfectly proper and nat
ural and toothsOme article of diet
will to others seem repulsive, and
even disgusting. The eXigencies of
climatic conditions will afford some
explanation of the varying nature and
amount required for human susie
nance. Thus the intense cold of the
Arctic regions will explain why the
Esquimo are able not only to eat and
drink substances as foreign ito our
tastes as walrus, frozen seal and train
oil but to gorge themselves to a dis
gushing extent Sir John Ross said
that an Esquimo perhaps eats 20
pounds of flesh and oil daily" But
climatic considerations do not explain
why some tribes in tropical regions
can exist almost solely on a meat diet,
or why others in Africa and Polynesia
should indulge in the horrible and de-
grading practice of cannibalism.
The flesh of the camel is eaten with
relish in some parts of Africa, but is
alleged, by Arabs to produce serious
disorders of the stomach. One was
eaten during the siege of Paris. and
is said to have tasted like veal. A
cameTs hump is considered something
Of a delicacy by many desert tribes.
Crocodiles are eaten by a few Afri-
can tribes. as also their eggs. DR..
Livingstone wrote: ITO us the idea
of tasting the musky-scented, fishy-
looking flesh carried the idea of can
nibalism" OF croeodiIes' eggs he
said: IN taste they resemble hens
eggs with perhaps a smack of custard,
and would be as highly reltshed by
whites as blacks were il not for their
unsavory origin in man-eaters.' The
toad is also an article of diet with
some negro races. The crested Basil
isk. a reptile upwards Of yard in
length. is eaten by the Inhabitants of
Amoboyna and the East Indian arch
ipelago.
The insect world is also called upon
to contribute to the dietary of our
more or less colored brethren. Spiders
are eaten by the natives of New Cal
edonia and the bushmen of South
Africa. who also eat grasshoppers.
T,oc1lsts are eaten in great quantities,
both fresh and sailed, by Persians,
Egvptians and Arabians. Diodorous
and Ludolphus both refer to
the locust as an article Of diet. The
latter remarks: For it is a very
sweet and wholesome sort of diet. by
means of which a certain Portuguese
in India that was ready to
Weld for want of provisions held out
i'll il was relieved another way" Lo-
Gusts have a strongly vegetable taste,
he flavor varying with the, plants on
which they feed.

THE sELF-NIADE WOMAN.

The working woman who has
achieved success shows it. You can
pick her out from throng as YOU can
successful business man in a side
walk crowd. 1t is not wholly Il matter
Of garments. although that has some
thing to do with it.
she possesses the undeniable air of
having made good"-also a wide
awake, alert manner acquired by hard
work and it's rewards She carries
herself with a pride and dignity quite
unlike the naughty air we associate
with social position or wealth. 1t is
simply the well-earned insignia of a
self-made woman.
As a rule the self-made woman
cares little about the suffrage ques-
ton. During her busy career she has
had scant leisure to study such
things; besides she confesses to q be-
lief that politics would have helped
her less than her own efforts She
took UP her work as she would have
plunged into study in a co-educational
school, remembering that sex privi-
lege and sex disabilities count for
nothing when a woman shoulders a
mans work. Perhaps suffrage for
women, if they ever achieve It, may
bring more strenuous careers and
larger opportunities.
Of what avail, however well that be
unless the woman chooses work ac-
cording to her capacity and does it
to The best of her ability-eheerfully,
loyalty, faithfully and with a heartfelt
nterest.-Success Magazine.

ONLY PEACE IN HOME RULE.

King George Friendly, Says Irish
Leader O'Conner
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat gives
a speech by O'Conner, from which we
quote few fragments:
THE influence of Lord Grey, gov
! ernor-general of Canada. was freely
used during his recent visit toward
a settlement of Irish home rule as
the beginning Of an imperial fedora
ton.
The Tories see a party gain in get
ting rid of the eighty Irish votes from
the Imperial Parliament which are
ranged nine times out of ten against
! the Tories. and all of the parties I'M
doubleday feel a desire to give the new
king satisfaction in gaining the at
tachment of the Irish Parliament.
The king has visited most parts
of the British Empire. This has in
creased the natural tendency he has
always shown toward imperialism.
But this point of view, | have no
doubt, has been accompanied also by
the knowledge that all these colonies
which gave him so cordial a reception
have the home rule which the Irish
people are now demanding.
4 have little doubt ,hat the mind
of the king, so far as it has directed
itself to the problem. belongs to the
scnool which is known as'home rule
all round; that is to say, the devolu
ton not only of Irish, but English,
Scotch and Welsh affairs to local as
semblies in the different countries,
and combining the discussion Of impe-
rial affairs to the Imperial Parliament
And that is the direction that the
final solution Of the problem is likely
to take.
The dim feeling that this is the di-
rection that the new kings thoughts
are taking may have produced one of
the most significant of changes in the
temper of parties with regard to Ire
land. I do not know that. but L do
know that the change has come, and
with rapidity and completeness that
has been surprising to everybody
Not one, but several. leading Tories
have whispered into the ears of irish
men that this conference may lead to
Tie settlement of the Irish question as
one of its results. Nothing more popu-
lar can now be said on British plat
forms than that Ireland will decome
like the Transvaal, a contented and
loyal part of the empire. when like
South Africa, she has self-gOvernment

home to the British mind that the set
Element of the Irish question might af-
feet the relations between England
and the United States materially The
power of the United States has been
realized for a long time.
THE friendliness which many citi-
zens of the United States are willing
TO extend to England is also realized |
"And of course. the good offices of |
England to America during the Span
War, and the good will |

her troubles have also had their heal

DO GOOD NOW.

Dr. Johnson wisely said: He who
wants to do a great deal of good at
once, will never do anything" Life is
made up of little things 1t is but
once in an age that occasion is offered
for a great deed. True greatness con-
sists in being great in little things.
How are railways built? BY one
shovelful of dirt after another; one
shovelful at time. Thus drops make
the ocean. Hence we should be will
ing to do little good at time, and
never wait to go a great deal of good
at once" If we would do much good
in little things. little acts one after
another; speaking a word here, giving
a tract there, and settling q good eX-
ample at all time: we must do the
first good things we can, and then the
next, and the next, and so keep on
doing. This is the way 10 accomplish
anything Thus only shall we do all the
good in our power.

Sing it, motherl sing it low;
Deem it not an idle lay.
In the heart twill ebb and flow
All the lifelong way.
Sing it, mother! softly sing,
While he slumbers on thy knee;
All that after years may bring
Shall flow back to thee.
Sing it, mother! Love is strong!

Echoes of thy cradle song
Shall its peace recall

FOREIGN LAUNDRY MARKS.

In foreign countries some strange
methods are adopted for identifying
the contents of the washtub In some
Parts of France linen is defaced with
the whole name and address of the
laundry stamped upon it, and an addi-
tional geometrical design to indicate
the owner Of the property. In Bavaria
every patron OF the washtub has a
number stamped in large characters
on his linen. In Bulgaria every laun-
dry has large number of stamps en-
graved with designs, and in Russia the
laundries mark linen with threads
worked in arrow shapes. In some
Russian towns the police periodically
issue regulations for laundries. In
Odessa books of marks are furnished
annually to the laundry proprietors,
and these marks. and no others, can
be used to identify linen

HIS NEW YEARS INVITATION.

A young man who had got into the
habit of spending all his evenings
away from home was asked by his
father if he had any engagement for
New Years evening. The young man
had nothing in particular

somewhere with me-" replied the
father

appeared he said he wanted me to call

and I started to laugh. My mother
