Mr. Johnson announced that he was pas sionately fond of oysters with sugar on them, and that for an appetizer nothing could equal finely-shaved soap, topped off with a good draught of beer or ale. He proposed, he said, to show that such food was not only palatable, bat actually nutri- tious. and be knew of no better way than to eat oil the oysters, the soap and the sugar together and drink: the beer afterward. I remember him as a lean and hungry-looking man, with a bald head, a tad eye and a depressed stomach. He mounted a platform and immediately ate three oysters Irom a plate in front of him before he made his bow. The master of cerenaonies pulled his sleeve and the human ostrich made an awk ward bob of the head and then pick ed up a knife, with which he eeolly j saaved off a piece ot soap trom a pound cake, put a piece of sugar on it and an oyster on top of that and deliberately swallowed the mass en- tire.
