ICE CREAM WITHOUT CREAM.
Tallow and Berries With Snow Deli
cacy in Far North.

The main food Of the Alaskan Indian
is meat and fish In the winter many
people do not cook the fish at all, simp-
ly leave them in the house for Two or
three days and then eat them raw. Wo-
men always serve the food and always
see that others are satisfied before be-
ginning their own meal. They have to
be very careful not to spill anything.
for that would bring bad luck 10 the
one whom they are serving.
When a person is invited to eat in
the village it is considered bad man
ners to eat all that is before him. He
must leave enough to take home to the
members Of the family who did not
come. The host generally gives his
guest piece Of dried fish to hold the
food which he is to take home. The
fish is broad and fiat, about one-half an
inch thick, and the bundle is carried
away openly, without any attempt at
hiding it.
In the summer berries. fruit and
roots are added to the diet and berries
are frozen in the fall to last thru the
winter. Since white people came
flour and canned goods have changed
the food very much. 1t is easy 10 have
ice cream for dessert any time. There
is no cream about it, but tallow and
berries are mixed with snow. some
times fish is added to it, and when it is
frozen it makes a fine dish.

DIFFERENCES IN CAT FAMILY
Physiological Reason Why Lions, and
Othefs Of the Tribe Are Unable
to Purr.

A lion, while an accredited member
Of the cat family, cannot purr, how
ever happy he may be when you stroke
him, because the hyoid bone in his
throat Is loose. He has to roar.
This is one Of number of interest
ing things discovered about the cat
family recently by scientists at the
London Zoo. r. I. Pocock, superin-
tendent Of the zoo, explains that those
selidae or cat family that have an elas-
tic ligament between the cerato-
hyal and the upper elements of
the suspensorium Zion, tiger, leop'
ard, jaguar) roar, but never purr, while
all the other species Of the felidae,
with normally constructed hyoids, purr,
but never roar, and among these are
the cheetah and puma.
The roars Of the jaguar and leop-
ard are like "hoarse, barking coughs,
an interval of about one second sep
arating the exploratory efforts" says
the observer. They may be easily re-
produced or initiated by saving piece
Of thin board with coarse-toothcd
saw. The cheetah, however, calls with
n decided new, very much like that OF
the cat.

When Birds Fiuht.

Sparrows are proverbially pugna-
cious. Sometimes a tree will be a
sparrow battle-ground, and for ten min
utes 1t will be as lively as dog fight.
On one occasion q flock Of seagulls,
flying inland from the Channel, took
possession of a newly sown field. Then
q mob Of rocks appeared, swooped
down and drove the gulls off.
The rocks posted sentries to watch
that no invaders should steal in and
take spoil, and ii was amusing to see
these sentries hustling and bustling
the gulls who ventured to return.
From time immemorial pair of
carrion crows had held undisputed
sway at Gray's Inn, and not n rock
put in an appearance until the telling
Of the oaks on the Chesterfield prop
erty ut Mayfair. Then the invasion
commenced, and the big crows were
overInastered by numbers.
Probably the finest fighter in the
world, quadruped or biped, is the
game-cock. He is match for any
thing his size in the world, probably,
IL he gets fair field and no favor.
He is as quick as q flash of light
ming, and his spurs are terrible
weapons, quite as effective as q pair
Of bayonets, and used much more
