Meat In Japan.

It Is only within recent period that
meat has come to play a part in the
japanese diet. Fish. flesh and fowl
were once strictly forbidden as arti-
Giles Of food by the tenets of Buddhism,
but gradually one after another came
to be allowed as eatables. Even now
meat, although becoming more and
more popular, is not used in larTf
quantities at one meal. Chickc
game, beef. ham and pork may l.,
found on sale in most large towns and
cities. But beef is cut into mouthfuls
and sold to Japanese by the ounce |;
chickens are carefully and infinitely
dissected and sold by parts-as the
wing. leg or an ounce or two of the
breast. 1t was matter of great sur
prise to the natives of Mito that the
foreigners living there bought whole
chicken or five or six pounds of beef
at time and consumed 1t all in two
or three meals.

"preary Stuff" Said Gissina.

George Gissing, whom he met many
years ago at q garden party in St.
Johns Wood "He was curiously, and

loose, easy clothes and SLOUGH hat

Diet of Ancient Athletes.

The actual diet used by the ancient
Greek athletes consisted of a certain
kind of cheese, specially prepared
from goats milk. Later on a flesh
diet was introduced. The Romans, in
the early stages of training, utilized
a vegetarian form of diet, consisting
of dried figs, new cheese, and boiled
grain. Later on, again, meat was
added to the list, but only one sort
Of flesh was thought suitable, and that
curiously enough, was pork, an edible
absolutely banned by most modern
trainers. Galen most firmly main
tanned that pork contains far more
nutriment than any other flesh food
1t certainly is very significant fact
that the ancient athletes complained
that II they were forced, when in
training. to live upon anything else
but pork for any one meal their mental
and physical forces alike were SER
iously impaired.

TRAVELS A LONG BEAT

Harry j. Christoffer is a police
man whose beat is 1900 miles long
and more than 1000 miles wide. His
day trick is three months long, for
he patrols a district in the land of the
midnight sun. And when he comes
home on furlough it costs him near
ly $500. Actually, Mr.. Christoffer is
chief warden of Alaska for the bureau
of fisheries. After two years Of duty
in the far North he came to Washing
ton recently to spend two months
resting and compiling his report.
Mr. Christoffer is well known in
Washington from the time he spent
there as scientific assistant at the
bureau of fisheries. When the work
of protecting the fur-bearing animals
of Alaska was undertaken by Uncle
Sam, he volunteered to assume the
task of being the chief warden of
Alaska. He chose to deal with the

CONTROL PEACH TREE BORER
Most Satisfactory Method Is to Go
over Trees Twice Each Year and
Dig Out Larvae.

Regarding peach tree borer pest all
over the country, George M. List Of
the Colorado agricultural college, has
the following to say:
The larvae live between the bark
and wood little below the surface Of
the ground in a mass Of gum and
woody material. 1t is a soft whitish
caterpillar with a reddish-brown head.
The egg from which this matches is
laid on the trunk of the tree at or
near the surface of the ground by a
handsome day-fying moth. The lar
vac after Matching eat through into
the inner bark and sapwood of trunk
or large roots, upon which they feed.
causing gummy emulation. They
feed in this way for about year, Of
ten almost girdling large root Of the
tree.
When the larvae are full grown
they construct cocoons of the gummy
emulation, their casting and silk, about
an inch below the surface Of the
ground, where about three or four
weeks later they change to moths. AL
though there is but one generation In
a season, the moths are present most
Of the summer. The larvae reach ma
turity at different times, thus keeping
up almost constant supply Of adults.
The most satisfactory method OF
control has been to go over the trees
and dig out all the larvae once in the
spring and again in early fall. Their
presence is easily detected by the
gummy emulation on the crown and
large roots.

Many of the larger cities of these

Much Gold Overlooked.

The sequence of events so often OBJ
served in the history of gold-mining
camps has been repeated in the Will
low Creek district, Alaska. The
earliest prospectors, in 1897, were pri-
marily interested in the search for
placer gold, and having found it, were
too busily engaged in mining to trace
the stream gold to the veins from
which it originally came. 1t was near
ly ten years later that the first of the
valuable quartz veins that now yield
most of the gold mined in the district
was discovered. Since 1906, however,
quartz mining has progressed steadily
and has rested upon a substantial
basis.

TELL OF STRANGE MEETINGS
able Happenings Occurring in the
Military hospitals.

The long arm of coincidence was
never more strikingly illustrated than
by the remarkable cases Of hospital
reunions related by the commanding
officer of the Welsh General Military
hospital. Recently nurse entered
one Of the wards, calling the name OF
a certain soldier who was due to take
his medicine. In response to the cal!
a man sat up in one of the beds. but
further inquiry showed that although
the surname was the same, the Chris
tian name was different from that Of
the man she was seeking, says Lon
don Tit-Bits.
At that moment the right man. who
was well enough to hobble about, ar
rived upon the scene, and then, to the
amazement of the nurse and the other
occupants of the ward, the patients
recognized each other as brothers who
had not met for many years. What
is more extraordinary still, the two
brothers had been in the same ward
for several days without either being
aware of the others presence.
Even more extraordinary is the case
of two men in another ward, who,
when the roll was called, suddenly
recognized one another as chums who
some years ago joined the colors the
same day. They had been close
chums in the ranks, but subsequently
drifted apart through the drafting OF
one of them on foreign service, to find
themselves reunited in adjoining beds
in the Welsh Military hospital.
On comparing notes further string
of condolences was discovered. The
two men, unaware of each others
presence at the front, had been wound
ed the same day, taken to the same
base hospital, brought home in the
same ship, carried to the same train
and finally placed next to one another
in the same ward of home hospital.
Another curious case is that Of
man who after being wounded at the
front was admitted to one of the wards
of the hospital On his discharge he
went back to France, and, wounded d
second time, found his way back once
more to the same ward.
