A New Delicacy From the Auslratinn • • Seas. Epicures of the more adventurous sort will before long have the oppor- tunity of passing judgment on tinned dugong, a delicacy which will soon ap- pear on the London and Paris mar- kets from Northern Queensland, say's the Country Gentleman, The dugong, which Is an aqua,ic nial, and no fish, is common in some of the shallow wafers off the Queens- land coast, and as it is a clean feeder, unstinting the scagruss which grows en the shoals, there scents certainly no reason why its flesh should not be appetizing 211Ka enough. The dugong'sht altitude in the upright fi water end habit of clasping its young to its breast gave it a queerly hu►nnn appearance in the eyes of enrly marin- ers and explorers, and it hos perhnps not yet censed to appear stuffed in travelling shows as the authentic body et a mermaid. Its decline from this romantic role to the level of mere tinned meat Is doubtless characteristic of our prosuic and industrial age. TROURLE AHEAD FOn PERCY.

How to Grow Thin Also Revealed in Tlris Simple Rule for Regu- lating Diet. Dr. Harvey \V. Wiley, Chief of the Itureiw of (:itcnlistry of the United Slates Deportment of Agriculture, is authority for the statement that every lean eats every day 'one per cent. el Isis weight in dry foods, and it requires cite hundred days for him to eat his cut] head off.' if a mon cats Tests he wits lose wciglet. Ur. Wiley asserts, and it he eats more he will gain, which will be good news to the fat who want to gel thin and the thin who want to get fat. Dr. Wiley adds that every person should to ssunte four and a half pc'unds M 'cords and liquids every day, but in doing the ordinary work of a cleric this untount is above the aver- age. Dr. Wiley never made an investiga- tion to determine the hest foods for mental labor, but he believed the gen- eral opinion that particular kinds of foods nourished particular parts of the le•dy was quite erroneous. "Nerve and brain foods are ndver- tXed, but they are all nonsense," sail Dr, Wiley. "Nor do drugs have a fat- tening effect. On the contrary, most of them have • degrading effect. Arsenio up to u certain point has a fattening effect. A mum gains In weight for a tante and then dies; but that is a poison. WOULD CHOOSE OWN RATION. "A man may drink n plass of typhoid germs it he is in vigorous health and may not get typhoid fever, because his system may throw off the poison, but It he is broken down one of the germs will produce typhoid. Not a mon but has a pneumonia gern in his mouth. It will not affect the healthy being, hul let a mnn,get a cold and 1t will take its sent in Ills lungs." "What do you consider the best food for a man to eat?" Dr. Wiley was asked, "1 think a ratan ouut►t to choose 'lis' own ration," he replied. "Lots of pee- ple are vegetarians. 1 think wo eat too much meat for health For the susten- once of physical exertion if you have hard wol k to do there is nothing bet- ter than March or sugar. The cerenl Baling nations can endure mono phy- sical tell than the meat eating notions. That is not the accepted view, but it is trite. You cannot tiro out a Japan- ese, who eats rice. He wilt draw you all around on town the a pound hof rice, and he as fresh at: the close of the day as when ho started. You could not do that on a pound of meat to save your life.'' Dr. WI!ey told of hes "boys" in his "I oison egnad." "This Is the filth year," he said, "that we have been test- ing the effect upon health and digestion of preservatives, Colors and other sub- stances that have been cotnmonly used In our foods. "The young men are Orsi allowed to eat wholesome food," he went on. "We buy the best in the market. 1t is care- fully inspected by myself and analyzed. T'hr y have n preliminary period, during which we vary the ration, so that they do not either gain or lose In weight. Then we add a small qunn(Ily of one of the preservatives, like borax, adding half a groin a day to (herr food. They eat that for ten days. Then we Increase it to a grain, and they eat that for an- other len days.
