W-"" i BAKED BEAR FOR YOU? OR WOULD YOU PREFER ROAST A LLIGATORZ Many Things are Eaten in Foreign Countries Which are Re- pellcut to Us. Bear’s flesh is a great delicacy in. Germany, and smoked bear's. tongue and hams are much in de-, mand‘there; but, consequent on} their rarity, they are among the most expensive luxuries. Lion flesh is Very good eating, and much in favor amongst the aborigines and certain classes of Boer trekkers in South Africa. In many parts of India the tiger is eaten, to impart strength and cun- ning, as well as nourishment. In flavor it resembles rather coarse beef. In Africa and India the flesh of the elephant is a favorite dish, though some Europeans aver it is nothing more than soft leather and glue. Others declare the flesh of the elephant is as tender and deli- cate as baked elephant’s foot, which is a dish fit for a king. CROCODILE, PLEASE! Crocodile flesh is publicly sold in Upper Egypt as food, and in Sai- gon and Siam the natives expose the oarcases for sale just like sheep’s in a butcher’s store. In San Domingo and the seaboard States of Central America, the cay- man is eaten, boiled or roasted, and is as savoury as rabbit, while its eggs are much prized as food. The horned iguana of San Domingo is also much appreciated by epicures throughout the West Indies. It is usually served up boiled, together with a dish of clarified iguana fat, into which the meat is dipped as you eat it. The common green lizard is eaten with gusto by many in the South ofx Italy, and Spain also, while thel Greeks nonchalantly pop the adder into their soups and stews. They are also Very fond of the mud tor-I toise, and drink its blood, and cook. its flesh and eggs, especially during Lent, the tortorse being looked up- on as a fish. . Of all the reptiles that are used as food, the frog is undoubtedly the most opular throughout Europe, the rench, Germans, Austrians,! Italians, Portuguese, and Belgians. all being noted for their frog-eat- ing propensities. The kind in par- ticular favor for table urposes is the green frog, though t e red frog is just as delicious. After a course of adder soup, folâ€" lowed by an entree of baked eleâ€" phant’s foot, backed by boiled iguâ€" ana and roast alligator, there are: many kinds of “freak” dessert tol be had. Rosebuds boiled in sugar, and made into a preserve, are est" en by the Arabians; while in China candied rosebuds and jasmine flow-lI ers are equally popular.

Toronto Turks utilize the common yellow lily, that grows in ponds and marsh- es, as the main ingredient of an agreablc conserve, tasting some- what like brandy. HAVE A VIOLET l DISEASE COMES THROUGH THE BLOOD Candied violets are now a staple To cure common Ailments tha product of certain districts in France. At Grbssc, for instance, where immense quantities of vio- lets arc grown, all the old and stale ones are sold to the confectionery manufacturers, who steam them, dip them in boiling sugar. and sell them at a high price as “confiturc lof violets.” In lloumania and Bul- garia roses, lime flowers. violets, pansies, and fruit blossoms are much used for flavoring purposes. Lilies, in China. are usually pluck- ed just before they open, and, cook- ed asra fresh vegetable, they have a very pleasant taste. The most remarkable of edible flowers, however, is that of the butterâ€"tree, which grows in im- mense forests throughout the more hilly parts of India. A fairâ€"sized tree yields several hundredweight of pulpy, bell-shaped flowers every year. During March and Aprilâ€"- the hot months of the Indian yearâ€"- they- fall off, and are ca erly gath- ered by the natives. hey have, when fresh a peculiar and luscious flavor, but the odor of them is un- pleasant, being rather “mousy.” Usually they are dried in the sun, becoming like rasins and then made ready for consumption by boiling or frying in butter.â€"L0nd0n An- swers. >l<â€"â€"- .__._ BUSY UHEEKED BABIES.

Only Two Eslatcs in England Where the Sport is Followed. Parts of certain great parks in England, such as Eridge Park, the oldest deer park in the kingdom, are practically wild in their ori- ginal forest state, While near \to the castle is the cultivated home park. Bridge Park contains 3,000 acres and is the only estate in England, .with one exception, where deer taking with hounds is still carried on. The other place is Woburn, the Duke of Bedford’s seat. The Marquis of Abergavenny is the owner of Bridge Park, but it once formed part of the royal chase. It still retains the wild beauty it then had, although there are more than seventy miles of lovely drives in it, not counting those of the home park. Deer taking is entirely different from deer hunting. The object is to take the animals alive so that they may be transferred to the home park to be fattened and eventual- ly turned into venison. The sport is by no means as tame as it sounds. A seven to nine year old red deer is an awkward (customer to tackle. He is power- -fnl, agile and well armed with ant~ ,'lers and hoofs. , i When there is to be a deer lak- ling at Bridge Park the meet in iplanned for 11 o’clock at the park keeper's house. The under keep- ers, with fresh bounds, are scat- tered through the park to head off 'the stag should he come their way. A field follows on horseback and on foot. When a likely stag has been found and cut out from the rest he starts ;off with a hound after him. Ap- ‘parently the only way he can be 'captured is to continue the Chase Luutil he is utterly exhausted, one hound after another taking a turn at the pursuit. l Before the end may swim across a lake several times. taking to it to escape his“ pursuers. Finally :1 rope is thrown (nor his antlers. other ropes secured to him and several keepers 13ml or drug him to the home park. lvxllerc he is turned ll-osc. Blood Must be Made Rich and Red. Nearly all the diseases that of- ,flict mankind are caused by had blood, weak, watery blood poison- led by impurities. Bad blood is the cause of headaches and hackaehes, luinbago and rheumatism, dcbil other nerve troubles, and the dis- figuring skin diseases like eczema and salt rheum that show how im- pure the blood actually is. It is no use trying a different medicine for each disease because they all spring from one causeâ€"bad blood. To cure any of these diseases you must get right down to the root or the trouble in the blood. That is just what Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills do. They make new, rich blood. That is why they cure these dis- cases when common medicines fail. Mr. Henry Baker, Chipman, N. B., says :â€"“About a year ago I was so weak and miserable that I thought I would not live to see spring again. I could neither work, eat nor sleep. My blood was in a. terrible condition. My entire body broke out with pimples and small boils that would itch and pain and caused me great trouble. I went to the doctor and tried sev- eral medicines but to no effect. I was almost in despair when one day a friend asked me why I did not try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I decided to try them and took alto- .gether eight boxes. By the time I had finished them I was like a dif- ferent man. They not only puri« fied and enriched my blood, but built up my whole system and I have not had a pimple on my flesh nor a sick day since.” To enrich the blood you must get the genuine Pills with the full name, “Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People,” on the wrapper around the box.

An Irish gentleman of a very obliging disposition, who thinks that personal fmors do not cost much, while they make friends, was applied to some time ago by a laborer for a certificate of char- acter.

For some time the public and the press generally have viewed with disfavor these sporting procliviâ€" ties of the young monarch, and have been more or less critical on the subject. Lately the Mundo, an influential Liberal evening newspaper, took the bull by the horns and published a strong lead- ing article severely censuring the King. “No one more sincerely esteems our young monarch than we do," says The Mundo. “He has many admirable qualities, and it grieves Majesty portrayed every day in the illustrated papers in all kinds of strange ecstumes and postures, many of them exâ€" ceedingly unkingly and undigni~ fled-this everlasting mono-mania for sport; tennis, golf, polo, yacht- ing, shooting, automobiling and what not.
