CAMEL'S FLESH.
With reference to the announcement that camel's flesh is being .served in Parisian restaurants as delicacies of the season, a writer in a Paris contemporary, in a reminiscent mood, refers to tho days of the siege. At that time any animal food was acceptable, and the Jardins d'Aeclimatation et des Plantes were unable to find food for their animals. Four camels were killed and the lie.-h formed part of the menus of tho restaurants of the. day. But tho writer declares that having had a period of 40 years to reflect, he has no desire to renew his acquaintance with the Llsh of tho ship of the desert. Tho writer predicts that as. a novelty " cotelette de chameau" will serve as a subject for conversation for some days at tho clubs, but ho does not think it will become fashionable even among epicures.
