SOME QUEER FOODS
FASHIONS IN EDIBLES VARY
WITH TASTE AND CONDITION.
What to One Race Will Seem Natural
and Toothsome Article of Diet
Might Seem to Others
RepuIsiVe.

Fashions in foods vary as do most
of mans needs with taste and circum-
stance. 1t has been truly said that
"one mans meat is mother mans
poison" What to one ace Of people
will seem a perfectly proper and nat
ural and toothsome article of diet
will to others seem repulsive, and
even disgusting. The e~xigenctes or
climatic conditions will afford some
explanation of the varying nature and
amount required for human susten-
ance. Thus the intense cold of the
Arctic regions will explain why the
EsQuimo are able not only to eat and
drink substances as foreign to u
tastes as walrus, frozen seal and train
oil, but to org 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 practise of ca~nnabilism.
The flesh of the samel is eaten with
I6IlSu III SOlAO pal - vi AL 1Sd1 OuC 40
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 cameIs hump is considered some
thing of a delicacy by many desert
tribes. Crocodiles are eaten by a few
African tribes, as also their eggs. DR..
Livingstone wrote: T us the idea
of tasting the musky-scented, fshy-
looking flesh carried the idea of can
nibalism." OF crocodiles' eggs he
said: In taste they resemble hens
eggs with perhaps a smack Of custard,
and would be as highly relished by
whites as blacks were it 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 a 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, VINO also eat
Locusts are eaten in great quantities,
both fresh and sailed, by Persians,
Egyptians and Arabians. Dtodorous
Siculus 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
garrison in India that was ready to
yield for want of provisions held out
till it was relieved another way" Lo-
Gusts have a strongly vegetable taste,
the flavor varying with the plants on
which they feed.

Why Men Wear Trousers.

No living man of this age ever de-
liberately chose to adopt trousers"
He was forced into them and all other
eccentricities of dress by women. In
the very earliest sartorial experiences
he is swathed in a queer bundle Of
incOherent bandages by a woman.
Later she puts him in cute dresses so
that the neighbors can't tell him from
his little sister. Still later she cuts
off his curls and puts hin in kricker-
bockers, and he put on long pants
when she gives the word, not before.
That is all that man mas to do with
wearing trousers. Women forced him
into them in the first place, and now
he is afraid to wear anything else for
fear of making a sensatIon.-Benton
