It a rises directly from the bottom of the sea to the surface, appearing, first about 4 o'clock in the morning, and continuing to increase in numbers until after sunrise, when they gradually disappear. When caught, the “palolos” are wrapped in breadfruit leaves and cooked in ovens. Borneo. The Dyaks of Borneo have an odd custom of cooking fowls without removing the feathers. When roasted, the birds are torn joint from joint. They also like food in a nearly putrid state, such as fish or mollusks in an advanced stage of decomposition, eggs black from age, or rotten fruit, the chief of which is "durian." It is about as large as a cocoanut, slightly oval and covered with a thick, tough skin armed with sharp spines. It tastes like a rich butter-like custard highly flavored with almonds and intermingled with wafts of flavor of cream cheese, onion sauce, brown sherry and other incongruities. The national drink of the Dyaks, called “tauk," resembles thin milk, and is very intoxicating. Its odor has been compared to that of "five hundred negroes drunk in a slave-pen.” When swallowed, the victim suffers from suffocation. It is consumed in enormous quantities at their feasts, the women forcing the men to drink immoderately. Andaman Islands. The Andaman Islanders, in the Bay of Bengal, are cannibals when urged by extreme hunger, but their general food consists of pigs, turtles, fish, etc., which are cooked in a very simple and ingenious oven. The pigs are small and black, with spare, hard bristles that look like wire. “They have,” says Captain Mouatt, "a leer that makes them look like so many Mephistopheles, who have chosen to assume that peculiar form, in many respects a very appropriate one; for, if they are not so many little devils, they are certainly possessed by them." South Africa. The Kaffirs of South Africa consider it a great luxury to eat beef and drink sour milk. The latter is mixed with meal into a porridge, but fresh milk is never used, being regarded as very indigestible. The milk is emptied from the pail into a large store-basket, which already contains milk in the second stage. Soon a sort of fermentation takes place, and in a short time the whole of the liquid is converted into a semisolid mass and watery fluid something like whey. The latter is drawn off and used as a drink. The remainder forms a thick, clotted substance called “a-masi," which forms the Kaffir's "staff of life." It has a slightly acid flavor. The Kaffirs enjoy the flesh of the antelope known as koodoo. It has an excellent flavor, and the marrow taken from the leg bones is a special luxury. It is often eaten not only without cooking, but while still warm. Rhinoceros flesh is considered very tempting, and their intestines, as well as those of several other kinds of animals, are regarded by the Kaffirs as the best parts of the animals for food. The feet of captured elephants are eaten after being baked, the whole of the tendons, fat, bone, etc., being converted into a gelatinous mass. Elephants' trunks are cut into thick slices and baked with the feet. An oily fat is obtained from the skulls. The rest of the meat is converted into "bil tongue,” by cutting it into strips and drying it in the sun. Honey, too, is a favorite food with the people, and they are very expert at attacking the nests and removing the combs. Nothing can induce a Kaffir to eat fish or reptiles. The Kaffirs have a fermented drink, which is a kind of beer called "Outchualla,” made from the grain of maize or millet. As it ferments, a scum rises to the top. This is removed and poured into a vessel thru a strainer. Dr. Lichstenstein, in his well-known work on the Bushmen, or Bosjesmen, of South Africa, remarks: When a piece of meat was given a Bushman, half rising he stretched out a distrustful arm, snatched it hastily and stuck it immediately into the fire. He soon took the meat from the embers, wiped it hastily with his left arm and tore out with his teeth large half-raw bits, which I could see going down his meager throat. At length, when he came to the bones and sinew, as he could not manage these with his teeth, he had recourse to a knife which hung around his neck, and with this he cut off the piece which he held in his teeth, close to the mouth, without touching his nose or eyes. When the bone was picked clean, he stuck it again into the fire and after beating it between two stones, sucked out the marrow. This done, he immediately filled the emptied bone with tobacco. The Bushmen eat snakes, reptiles and insects greedily. Roots, too, form a large portion of their diet. The Hottentots are exceedingly fond of meat, even if it is tainted. For quality they care but little, nor does its tenderness matter much. Under its effect they become semi-intoxicated, and will gorge themselves to the utmost limit of endurance, sleeping like a boa-constrictor that has swallowed a goat, and then awaking only to gorge themselves afresh, and fall asleep again. There is a singular variation of taste as regards the diet in use among the large number of South African tribes. Some of them, as we have seen, are depraved in this respect, eating anything and everything, fresh or tainted. Others, like the Ovambos, are quite refined in this matter. They are successful cultivators and raise vegetables of many kinds. The ordinary Kaffir corn and a kind of millet are the two most plentiful grains. Beans, peas, etc., are also in great favor, and they also cultivate the melon, pumpkins, calabashes and other kinds of fruit. Abyssinia. The most valued kind of bread eaten by the natives of Abyssinia is called “teff.” It is very sour, soft and spongy. The grain is ground between stones and made into a thin paste, which remains in a jar for a day and night in order to become sour, and is then baked in a "magogo" or oven. They eat meat cooked or uncooked. But the great treat for an Abyssinian epicure is the "broundo," a raw meat. They will not, however, eat any animal which has incisor teeth in the upper jaw, and they reject even the camel, because it has not a cloven hoof. The still warm flesh of the animal to be devoured is sliced into strips by the men and handed by them to the women who sit by their side. The women cut it up into smalt squares, lay it on the bread, season it with a kind of paste made from capsicum pods, roll it up into balls, which they push into the mouths of their companions, who eat all they want, and then prepare similar balls which they PRESCRIPTION COLUMN. .gr. lxxv gr.

He will go to any number of feasts in a day, and bring a fine fresh appetite to each, consuming at every meal a quantity of food sufficient for seven or eight hungry Americans. A traveler once gave a party to fourteen natives. They had already been to several feasts, on the same day, and the host thought they certainly could not devour very much food. But he killed a cow and two sheep and provided many gallons of mead and an infinite quantity of "teff.” To his astonishment the whole of the supply vanished, scarcely a scrap being left. In the province of Shoa a great animal feast is given by the ruler at Easter. The banqueting room is a large chamber, with a curtained alcove on one side, in which the prince sits to view the feast. Fresh grass strewn on the floor and round the room are set the tables-low circular pieces of wicker-work. Behind the tables, and ranged about along the wall are the bodyguards of the prince, armed with shields and a sword much like the old Roman weapon. Troops of servants are in waiting, and before the banquet they bring in the bread in piles and place it on the tables. Sometimes as many as thirty loaves are placed before each guest, the finest bread at the top and the coarsest below. The object of this arrangement is to suit the different ranks of the party. Those of the highest rank come first, and eat the finest, using the second-class bread as table napkins. When they have finished, the guests of the next rank come in, eat the second-class bread, and wipe their fingers on the third-class bread, and so on until all the food has been consumed. While musicians and dancers enliven the scene, the guests are eating as fast as they can, the servants are carrying meat from one guest to another, and making up neat little sausages of meat, bread and pepper, which they put adroitly into the mouths of the guests. The politer guests, having taken the rough edge off their own appetites by means of two or three pounds of meat, a pile of bread and a gallon or two of mead, also go to work preparing meat balls and put them into their neighbors' mouths. After this course, consisting largely of cooked mutton, has been finished, the servants bring in raw meat, still warm with life and cut from a cow that has been slaughtered at the door while the mutton and bread were being eaten.

Their greatest luxury is a feast of boiled mutton. The meat is put into a pot containing some water; but, as a rule, when it is about two-thirds cooked, the hungry Bedouins can wait no longer, but plunge their hands into the bowl to which the meat has been transferred from the cooking pot, tear it to pieces with their hands, and in a few minutes nothing is left but the cleanly picked bones. The cooking of their bread is equally simple, so that it can be readily cooked on their frequent journeys, and, indeed, a camel rider can even bake his bread while going at full speed on the dromedary. The date, which when fresh contains a large amount of_nourishment, is the chief food resource of the Bedouin, and on it alone he can exist for a long time. R. I. GEARE.
