156 3 FANCIERS’ 
kes Two of the edible dogs of China are now on exhi- 
bition at the Zoological Gardens in Paris. If it be found 
easy to acclimatize them, it is proposed to introduce this new 
article of food. The dogs in question are small and hairless 
and enormously fat. They are fed solely on vegetable food, 
a regimen which imparts a rare delicacy to their flesh.
