QUEER THINGS MEN EAT.

Because the lion is brave and dar
ing many African tribes eat its flesh
and think this means to prove a:
courageous as it; and just for the
same reason certain of the hill tribes
in India eat tigers flesh. Though
lions flesh is very good eating in
deed.
In Africa and India the flesh OF
the elephant is a favorite for the ma
tives; but many Europeans declare il
is like very soft leather mixed with
glue. All agree, however, that bak-
ed elephants foot is dish for the
king.
Crocodiles are sold in the butcher
shops in Senaar in French West
Africa, just as the butchers here sell
beef and mutton; and in the towns
and villages of Siam you may see
the carcasses hanging up for sale like
those of sheep and other animals in
our meat markets.
We do not look upon the caterpil-
lars as something to eat. In the West
Indies, however, and throughout cen
tral America, the caterpillar of the
socalled cabbage palm tree is served
up as one of the most inviting NOR
sells obtainable.
In the Southern states Of Brazil
the inhabitants scoop the eggs Of the
white ants out of their oven-shaped
nests. and after having washed and
pounded them. use them as paste to
spread on bread The white ants
like the wasps are dried, in iron pots,
being frequently stirred just as ii
they were coffee beans. and in this
parched state the natives consider
them q most delicious food. Travellers
who have tasted them declare that
thev have the same flavor as sweet
almonds.
Locrsts have heen eaten since the
very earliest times and still are
eaten. In Persia, Arabia. Syria
Egypt, North Africa, Palestine, Abys-
sinia. and throughout the southern
regions of Africa, they are much used
as food.
In the markets Of Africa and Mes
opotamia salted locusts and dishfuls
of fried ones are still offered for sale
Just as in the days of the arabian
Nights" In Paris and Morocco, Nthe
common folk gather them up, dry
and salt them for use and look upor
them as we do wheat and barley an6
oats.

Several days latet the same young
man was sent to Atlanta to do some
shopping for the home. While in one
of the largest stores he met man
| from Tennessee, who recognized him.
He came over to the man who was
recently released from the Federal
penitentiary and said, "Unless you
give me money, will give you up;
you cannot fool me, know they want
you in Tennessee.
That did not alarm the man who
wanted to make good. He went to
the nearest telegraph station and
wired the authorities of Tennessee
the following message: 81 am ready
to give myself up; come and get me. "
The authorities came to Atlanta and
arrested the man who was befriended
by the Salvation Army, taking him
back to the scene of his crime. He
was tried and sentenced to five
months. He served his sentence and
was free man, forgetting the past
and living for the future.
This all happened several years
ago. The former convict has proved
himself to be real man and is now
on the highway to success, having
re-established himself as RESPONSE
BILE citizen of Atlanta. 1t is this kind
, of work, done under cover, and other

Battle of Eylau.

An indeciSive action was fought at
Eylau, town "a miles south of Kon-
igsberg, Prussia, February s, 1907. In
this sanguinary battle between the
French under Napoleon and COM
bined force of Prussians and Russians
under Lestoeq and Benningen, about
$4,000 men were lost on each side, and
while the French were left in posses
sion of the field, there were no direct
results Of the battle, and Eylau has
passed into history as huge, profit.
less carnage. The numbers engaged
were some 10000 on each side.
Indirectly, however, it strengthened
he enemies of Napoleon by breaking
the charm of his seeming inyincibil-
ity. Napoleon had failed for the first
time in a pitched battle, and his dip
lomatic standing suffered in conse-
quence. A few days after the bat
tie he started negotiations for peace
with Frederick William. He was
willing to surrender claims to all
Prussian territory east Of the Elbe and
not to ask Prussia to help him in
war with Russia. Prussia refused
these terms. Napoleon then proposed
an armistice for joint negotiations, a
move which indicated his criticsl po-
Sition.

RETAINS MUCH OF BEAUTY
Persian City of Shiraz, Though Sadly
Changed, Is Still Worthy of At
tention of Traveller.

In the midst of a broad expanSe OF
barren ground lies the fiat-topped Per.
sian city of Shiraz, which was once so
wonderful sight as to cause the WIS.,

fascination and beauty to make him
forget forever his native land.
The Shiraz of the present is still
fascinating, though its power over the
travellers memory has waned. The
stranger may hurry through the mar
row streets lined with square houses,
but on the outskirts of the city he
must linger and dream awhile in the
Persian gardens celebrated in many
songs by the poets of the land.
Shiraz is proudest of being the home
Of two of Persia's noblest poets, Hafiz
and Sadi, both of whom were enthusi-
astic over the charms of their native
city. The city has changed greatly
since their day, but succeeding genera
tons still view it through the rose
and-gold light of the poets fancy and
still boast of its wonders.
The citizens of ShiraZ honor most
the man who can quote most fiuently
and extensively from the poems of
Hafiz; yet his grave, in garden be-
yond the city, is neglected and DESC
late. A high brick wall encircles the
garden. Within, the tomb of the poet
is marked by pavilion and marble
slab, on which is carved one of his
verses. All about the beloved singer
lie his followers and admirers, their
graves headed by stones which peep
through rank grass.
The gardens of Shiraz have such
names as Garden of Hearts Desire"
Garden of the Envy of Heaven" and
Garden that Displays the World
names which they do not always live
up to in appearance. because of their
owners dreamy contentment in letting
well enough alone. Yet even the I'M

tiful. Tiny streams WIND through them,
cypress and elm trees shade them
pleasantly, roses Chamber riOtOusly

summer house peeps from among the
trees.

Knowledge is more than mere sagac-
