In future the lover of crayfish — cooked—will bo able to enjoy his loi thsome meal unworried by secret quplms or other pangs than thoso of indigestion. For another popular fallacy has been set at rest by an Auckland iisltmon^ur. The crayfish, it seems, is not slowly p,u boiled "for the purposo of adding .1 soil-, sweat blush to its counLoiiancc The procsss, according to the nulhoiity in question, is as follows : — "The uayfish are first of all put into cold water and thoroughly drowned ; thoy are then put into the coppor and boiled in salt and water till done. That is all, and whore the cruelty comen in I fail to ssc. If crayfish are boiled with pleuty of salt in the water they turn out as red as cherries, with the flesh white and firm; but if crayfish are put alive into water, to gradually boil, one would have no crayfish at all, only shell." It is quite soothing to know that the crayfish is first really and "thoroughly" drowned. Whoever has tried Zymolo Trokeys never goes without them. Kvery day th-;ir popularity increnscs, simply because they do juut what is claimed for them. — Advxt. Woodi' Great Peppermint Curo for Coughs and Colds novor fuili. It bd. —Advt.
