INSECTS AS FooD.-In Africa they
eat ants stewed in butter. In Sweden
they distil them with rye to give pecu-
liar flavor to brandy. Pressed ant-egg-
yield a mixture resembling chocolate
with milk, of which The chemical compo-
sition really resembles that of ordinary
milk. The large :ermites, or white ants,
which are so destructive 10 houses and
furniture, are roasted BY the Africans ia
iron pots, and eaten by handfuls as sugar
plums. They are said to be very noul
ishing, and taste like sugared cream OF
sweet almond paste. As for locusts, ''the
Africans" says DIR. Phipson, 'far from
dreading their invasions, look upon a
dense cloud of locusts as we should SO
much bread land butter in the air. They
smoke them, or broil them, or salt them
or stew them, aad grind them down as
corn, and get fat upon them"

A Snow STORM IN SUMNER.
party of tourists one pleasant day last
week assembled Mount Washington, and
passed the night at the Summit House.
The next morning they found them
serves caught in furious snow storm.
Being unprepared for such adventure,
they suffered, as may be conceived con-
siderable Inconvenience IN consequence.
The storm increased durinu the day.
Although the thermometer did not fall
below thirty degrees, the air felt as
though it might be at zero. Straw hats
and linen coats wereat discount, though
unfortunately there were several ladies'
and gentlemen in the company who were
on the mountain with no better protection
from the storm. One party decided to
return 10 the Glen House, and started in
the midst of the storm. They we're
stopped in their descent by collision
with an ascending team; The air was
thick with the sleet and snow, the drivers
could not see each other. Ia the con-
fusion one lady was blown over the side
OF the ledge, but not seriously hurt one
horse was also blown over. aud after the
passengers left the coach to walk back to
the House, four horses and the wagon
we're blown bodily orer the ledge among
the rocks below. The driver escaped,
the wagon was broken and one of the
horses was badly hurt. II was an ex-
citing and perilous event, and isduced
all the party to remain contented as pos
sible all night. There were forty-three
dodgers at the Summit House on Friday
night all of whom can testify that the
storm was both grand and fearful, as the
wind blew perfect hurricane, and SEEM
ed as though it would carry the very
rocks away from their place on the
mountain. ~

ORIGIN OF HUGUEEoTs.-Hugo Au-
briet was appointed Provost of Paris
upon the accession of Charles vi. to the
throne, which post he bonorably filed by
embeilishing the city, and contributing to
the happiness of the inhabitants. In ev-
erything he manifested zeal for the pub
lie good; but he offended the University,
and that ruined him. The students in
dulged in the most scandalous excesses; /;
but the Provost, determined to suppress
them, ordered the offending students TO
be arrested, and confined in the dungeons
OF the Chatelet. The students resolved
upon revenge, charged him with dreadful
crimes before the ecclesiastical tribunal,
and succeeded by intrigues in convicting
him as a bad Catholic, Incorporate, de-
bauched, the encourager of loose persons
in short, as Jew and hereto. Had
not the Court interfered, be would have
been burned alive. He was, however,
obliged to mount the scaffold, and there,
bareheaded, with a rope round his waist,
and on his knees, ask pardon before the
people. The Rector of the University,
and Bishop of Paris, dressed in pontifcal
robes, assisted at the ceremony; and, in
conclusion, condemned him to end bis
days in dungeon, with nothing but bread
and water for his support. Hugo Au-
briet was, the year following, released by
the same populace who had joyfully as
sisted at his punishment. From him the
French Protes,ants have been called Hu-
guenots, to mark them enemies of The
Church.

SWALLOWING A CHRISTIAN IN A
MENAGERIE.-A frierd has little girl
who, we are afraid will make a strong
minded woman one of these days, so
powerful already is the developement Of
her reasoning faculties. Ever since Van
Amburgh's bills have been posted she
has been in a fever of excitement on the
subject of natural history, and every
thing relating TO wild animals has com
mauded her immediate and eager atten-
ton. AT neighbor's the other day a
print was shown her representing the
early christians torn by wild beasts in
the Amphitheater at Rome. The pic
ture, with the explanations which were
given her, made profound impression
upon her mind, as will be seen by what
follows. \ esterday she was taken to the
menagerie, where she surveyed the col
lection with infinite delight until it came
to that portion of the performance where
Langworthy entered the den of lions and
tigers, when she became very sober and
reflective. Upon returning home The
following dialogue took place between
the young lady and her grandmother
"Well, Fannie, what did you see at
the menagerie p
"Ob, | saw evetings, grandma saw
big tolo (the elepbanD with the horns
CROWN out Of his mouth, aud | saw the
darlingest little ponies, and such funny
little monkeys; and Grandma, / saw
lion swallow tristan :"
Saw lion swallow Christian,
Fannie Why, what do you mean !"
81 did, Grandma. They put 'tris>
tian' into the cage with the animals, and
the lions and tigers began TO jump on
him, and one of the lions got bis head in
his mouth, and then got frightened and
shut my eyes just as tight as ever /
could till the music stopped playing, and
when ! opened them again the poor trs>
tian was gone"

GA correspondent in Michigan says :;
81 have this from the physician in whose
practice il occurred. Doctors are often
annoyed by patients who will not follow
directions. None could complain of this
one -
Mike was tuken " bad," and Pat was
dispatched for the doctor, who, after due
inquiries into the case, sent some eferves-
cling powders, with directions to have
Mike swallow the draught while eferves-
cling. Fearing that the word "eferves-
cling" might not occur in Pats dictionary,
the doctor substituted the word "boiling."
"When ii boils and foams up" said be,
'let Mike drink it." The next morning
the doctor called round with the inquiry :
"How are you this morning, Mike ?"
"Most we'll intirely; but it gave me an
awful sore mouth"
Sure enough, upon examination, the
poor fellows throat and mouth were
found to be literally skinned.
"What makes your mouth this way,
Mike ?"
"The medicine you sint, to be sure"
"Did you take it as directed?"
"To be sure l did! Iput the two in
won, and put thin on the Goals till they
boilt, and thin dthrank thin. Howly
Mother! bat it kid me power of good. +"
