ODDITIES OF DIET.
Among the various nations there
havelKfii jrivat difU'renees us to ar
ticles considered edilde, and, of
course, anion: such as could lie pro
cured. The Tartars, Marco l'olo
Bays, ate liorsis, cunip.-, dogs, and
drunk marcs' milk. The Scythians
also, according to Herodotus' drank
mares' milk. In China birds' nests,
rats, and eMails are eaten. The
edible birds' nests are found in the
Xicobars, u cluster of islands in the
liay of llengal. These nests, built
by the Xicobar swallows, form one
ot tlie princijul exports of the is
lands. The (Jrccnlanders depend
largely on seals. The ancient Ger
mans, according to Tacitus, ate wild
apples, flesh and cheese. In Abys
sinia the natives cut steaks from the
live cow, according to Bruce, and
ate the meat warm with natural
heat.
Among the Kgptians near Ele
phantine, the crocodile was an article
t foot!. The Egyptians thought
wheat and iKirley poor fod ; they
ate principally spelt and zea. The
priests ate Kef, geese, and took
wine, but not fish. The Egyptians
did not cat them or raise them.
Thcv did not cat the head of any
creature. They ate honey and
raisins. Among them no cattle were
killed except for sacrifice. They
ate slurp and goats, and swine's flesh
only when ottered to liaechus and
Luna. They had no vines, but made
a li.pior from barley. They ate fish
fresh an- salted, or dried in the sun;
also ipiuil and ducks. CaI.VIN'

CLARA BARTON'S BOOK.
A Detailed History of the Red Cross Soon
to be Publisred
Now that the responsible head of
the American lied Cross is allowed
a brief rest from active duty iu the
field, at the urgent request of those
who have followed its work in this
country in its ever widening eflort
for humanity, she has consented to
iila(x; the records of the movement
in jM'rmanent form ; and the result of
her labors will soon le given to the
world in the shape of a book entitled)
"The Red Cross" by Clara Barton.
Previous to this Miss Barton's
duties have never jiermittod anything
further than a few articles in the
leading jteriodicals, these being de
voted to some particular incident in
her career ; but she now feels that
the American Red Cross has become
an imK)rtant and jiermanent institu
tion, with a history well worth le
ing placed in enduring form. Her
publishers are confident that the
story will Ik; a fascinating and in
structive one, since by reason ot her
iwsition as a neutral, she must have
become possesses of a large amount
of interesting ml ormat ion never here
tofore given to the public. It will
Ix; a history written from lctween
the lines inside history of the field
work by which the lied Cross has
endeared itself to the people of
the country for the last twenty years.
Miss Barton's career asahumani
tarian began in the days of our civil
war. At the out break of the France
Germany struggle she was recruiting
her health in Switzerland, and by
invitation of the International Com
mittee of the Red Cross of Geneva
she joined their forces in the field,
and so endeared herself to both coun
tries as to receive a vote of thanks
from France, and the decoration of
the "Iron Cross" from Germany.
The cordial relations indicated by
these imblic recognitions resulted in
a warm personal friendship with the
courts of these countries which con
tinuns at the nresent dav. It is
hardly necessary to add that Miss
Barton has lieen a iKitent factor iu
the relief of such national calamities
as the Russian Famine, Johnstown
Flood, Mississippi Inundation, Yel
low Fever Epidemics, Hurricane of
the Carolina Islands, and iu 189(5
she sueceesfullv conducted the diffi
cult problem of carrying relief to the
Armenians in Asia Minor. Her
work in the relief of the Cuban re-
concentrados and in the Spanish-A
nierican War is still fresh in the
minds of the people.
This book will be abundantly il
lustrated by photographs and sketch
esfaithfu v taken at the various
fields of labor, descriptive alluded
to, the methods of work and historic
features connected therewith. Many
of these incidents ond reminisences
have never lcen published, and but
for this jiersistent effort on the part
of her friends and admirers, would
probably never have been given to
the world. Those interested in the
IxKik should address inquiries to the
New lork Headquarters, 38 Wil
liam St., New Yrk.
Teachers' Institute.
The Annual Teachers' Institute
of Snyder County will convene in
Middleburg, the week beginning

A greater eflort lias iieen made
thisyearto procure the very best tal

lecturers than ever before. We be
lieve that each succeeding year wit
nesses the increasing favor of the
institute among the iieople as evi
denced by the attendance and interest
manifested at each session.
That the opular zeal may con
tinue to grow, speakers endowed with
more than ordinary enthusiasm and
possessing the ability to thrill y.ith
wavun of inspiration our teachersand
patrons, must be attained.
We therefore take pleasure in an
nouncing an array of talent selected

ing is the strongest program ever

Cannot Keep It Out
No door is thick enough to keep
out the newspajwr and its advertis

too quiet for the favorite family pa
per ; no surveillance is so strict but
the newspaper is admitted ; and it
brings its message or wars and ru
mors of wars, of elections, accidents,
marriages, births and deaths and
advertisements. LynnMat.) Item.
.., A slick swindler is said to be
beading this way. He cleans sew
ing machines for fifty ccotsand then
finds broken wheels and appliances
which need repair. Of course he is
ttic one which causes the bad condi

the several parte. If an v one stands
watchihg him he will send the per
son for oil, rags, etc. He charges
exorbitant prices for his work. In
Lycoming he touched one person for
$ti.S0 and another for $12. House
keepers should be on the lookout
for the swindlers.
