FlAYOTTBINt} &OTTPS WrETi OEAWJSJSJJ. The Chinese will eat anything that comes out of the sea. All the fishes are good to t..b taste, and are caught with great skill. Seaweeds are used to thicken soups, gravies, and puddings, and are highly prized because they give a relish- ing flavour of salt, which is a luxury beyond the reach of most Chinese peasants. Growing between the high and low watermarks on the Japanese coasts is a mud-worm called Sa- bella. It occupies a hard, limy tube of its own making, and gets its food, when the high tide comes up over its hiding-place, by thrusting out a head bushy with tentacles, and sucking in cur- rents of water loaded with minute particles of Nutriment. Out of this wriggling creature the shore people make a soup, which is said to taste jas badly as it smells. A better dish is made from the soft interior Earts of the sea-urchin, or echinus. The coast idians of the Pacific shores of British America devour raw sea-urchins with great gusto, crush- ing them in their fists, sucking out the orange-coloured cluster of eggs, which constitute the only edible part, amounting to one or two teaspoonfuls, and then throwing the thorny case aside. The minute eggs taste much like oysters, and have been a favourite food of the natives of the bleak coast of Alaska for aires. ..a0J: jo eq3noq etp 03 in uaAO puu E4001 HMtt NeAO leuij Istaiq sip So suco-L-U Sci 'squiip ,S99UB!jeip S uoj JaALo 60op ifi 8113 'puBjui SuiXsujnoC 4maiqA& piiB SlolatA et dumC puu 'doq„ oqq jo anr B^sjj'Bani'BU Ãq poquosop uaaq sbit uoissoiSoad 4° POqWUI sn -SJAATJ J-eoidox} jo s3liiuq pum Oql nodn OOUatSlXa s^i jo :f.œd j-j;go.i3 aql spuads 'qsg Sui^J'EAV 'cBOT.IJY &If| St SUIJJ 'nop -uoi s^uaSo'jj uotp»[joa oq} o} papfre tnaaq OAuq—daap ui paasfd E patiAVOjp SITPOE)dig eq PlnoM. qaiqM. q-sy u-xoptitd reo "TftiftlTj*>nZ 3upsai»%ui v jo «o[duii3xo pjiaAag •AAXVAL HI NMOaa XVEM HSIJf County Courtejta Circuit 24.
