A Ncw Delicacy From the Australian 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 rnar- kets from Northern Queensland, says the Country Gentleman. The dugong, which 1s an aquatic ant - null, and no fish, is coiumon in some of the shallow waters off the Queens- land coast, and as It is a clean reecho, consuming the seagrass which grows on the shoals, there seems certainly no reason why its flesh should not be appetizing enough. The dugong's upright attitude in the water and habit of clasping its young to its breast gave it a queerly human appearance in the eyes of early merin. ea and explorers, and it has perhaps 'not yet ceased to 'appear stuffed in travelling shows as the authentic body et a mermaid.- Its decline Irom this romantic role to the level of mere timed meat is doubtless characteristic of our prosaic and Industrial age.

Wiley asserts, and 1f lie eats more he will gain, which will be good news to the rat who want to get thin and 1110 Ihln who 'want to get fat. Dr. Wiley adds that every person should consane tour and a half pounds of pads and liquids every day, but tris doing the ordinary work or a clerk this amount is above the aver- age, Dr. Wiley never merle an investiga- tion to determine the best foods roe amental labor, but he believed the gen- eral opinion that particular kinds of Bods nourished particular parts of the body- was ,quite erroneous. 'Nerve and retain foods are adver- tised, but they are all, nonsense," said Dr. Wiley. ' "Nor do drugs have a fat - effect, On the contrary, most of themHave a degrading effect.

"Whet d'o you consider the best food for a 111510 to eat?" Dr. Wiley was asked. "I think a elan ought, to choose his own ration," he replied. "Lois of peo- ple are vegetarians. 1 think we eat too much meat for health For the susten- ance of physlcal exertion if you have herd work to do there is nothing Bel - ler than starch or sugar. The cereal eating nations can endure more phy- sical toil than Um meat eating nations. That its not the accepted view, but 1t is true. You cannot tire out a Japan- ese, who eats rice. Ile will draw you all around the town on a pound o! rice, and be as fresh at the close of the day as when he 'started. You could not do that on a pound of meat to save year life.11 Dr. Wiley' told of his "boys" in his "poison Lsquad."

A species of acacia, grooving abundantly in the Soudan, is also called by file same name. Its shoots are fre- quently, by the agency of the larvae of the forest insects, distorted in shape, and swollen into a globular bladder, from one to two inches In diameter.
