How THE FRENCH EMPEROR WENT TO
BATTLE.-European papers state that the
baggage of the French Emperor, which
preceded him to the seat of war, looked
more like travelling hospital than like
the traps of a general. 1t contained,
among others, large medicine chest, three
kinds of bathing tubs, and some other
bathing apparatus. an invalid's easy chair,
a stretcher of peculiar construction, and
great deal of other medical and sick room
apparatus. The horses of the Emperor
which were sent to the front were most
carefully selected from the Imperial stables
by the Emperor's own valet. He picked
out the tamest and genslest brutes he could
find, and even went SO far as to buy some
horses, not so much for their beauty and
spirit, for they show very little of either,
as for their meek and gentle demeanor.
Before they were sent 10 the front, they
were exposed to q great deal of artillery
firing to accustom them to the roar of can
non, the only thing their rider will prob
ably hear Of the battle, and took the last
vestige of spirit they still possessed away
rom them. Tho valet was also most par
ticularsin examining the saddles for the
use of His Majesty, had all doubled wad-
ded, and had extra paddings put on the
back

Nor does man refuse to use insects as food.
Even we, highly civilized as we are, do not
reject the lobster, the crab, or the shrimp
which though not strictly insects, only
articulate animals, and until recently were
classed with insects by our best entomolO-
gists. Now the Arab would be disgusted to
see feasting un lobster salad yet he finds
great delight in masticating a locust. In
both the Indies, epicures eat the grub of the
palm weevil, which is as large as your
thumb; and the ancient Greeks are men
toned by 1Elian, as esteeming a roasted grub
very delicious food.
Locusts are an article of food in mRny
parts of the world The Ethiopians were
called locust eaters on this account by the
Romans. The Arabs make them into bread
first grinding or pounding them. and then
mixing them with their -four. They not un-
frequently eat them boiled and stewed. The
Hottentots esteem them highly, and grow fat
on them. They all make their eggs into
soup. Their traditions teach that they are
indebted to some great conJurer for the COM
ing of the locusts. He lives a long way
northward, they say, and removes a huge
stone from the mouth of a deep pit so that
the locusts may escape and fly to them for
food The Aoors of Barbsry prefer locusts
to pigeons.
| The Chinese. who cannot afford to waste
any edible thing, cook and eat the chrysalis
OF the silk worm, and the larva of the hawk
mUth. The caterpillars of butterflies are
eaten by the natives of New Holland, aud
also the body of butterfly called Bugong.
Ants have their place with articles of hu-
man diet. Hottentots eat them both raw
and boiled. The East Indians mix them
with -four and convert them into a popular
pastry. In Sweden ants are used to flavor
brandy.
In Ceylon bees are used for food. In New
Caledonia the people eat large spider, es-
teeming it u luxury. 1t is recorded that
Anda Maria Schuremen used TO eat them
like nuts, and declare they were not unlike
that fruit in its taste. Lalande. the celebra-
ted astronomer, was equally fond of these
delicaeies and Rosel knew German who
spread them on his bread like butter. Hum
bOldt claps the climax of these edible mon
strositIes assuring US that be has seen Indian
children drag centipedes eighteen inches
long and more than half an inch broad from
their holes and devour them.
While these curious facts illustrate the
adage that there is no accounting for tastes
they also show that insects are useful as food
for man, and that, in great extremities be
might be saved from destruction by placing
them among his articles of diet.-Dr. Wise,
IN lions Herald.

A gentleman was one day opening box
of dry goods His little son was standing
near, and, as his father took the packages
from the box, he laid some of them on the
arm of the boy. A young friend and play
mate of the merchants son was standing
by looking on. As parcel after parcel was
laid upon the arm of the boy, his friend
began to fear that his load was becoming
too heavy, and said

Mr.. Butler is middle-aged gentleman.
member of the famous New York law
firm of Butler, Barney and Parsons, and
too busy to devote time to literature. He
was not known as poet at all until he
astonished the world with that splendid
brochoure Nothing to Wear. Yale col
lege alumni laid hands upon him at once.
and forced a commencement poem from
him. This was Two Millions the reci-
tai of which caused such an excitement in
Yale literary circles as had never been
known there before. The audience that
listened to it was thrilled as audiences
seldom are. MIR. Buffers poetic reputa-
tion was established. He returned to his
law business, and from that day no publish
er has been able to induce him to write a
line. He says he cannot afford to write
poetry-the law pays better So he re-
mains utterly silent, content with his two
efforts. Every temptation has been
placed before him, but he is firm as rock.
He has done with poetry, and is content
with the laurels already won. He is a

TIE DISCIPLINE OF THE PRUss1AS ARMY.

The DISCIPLINE OF THE PRUssIAN ARMY.
A Berlin letter writer thus describes
the drill of the Prussian army 4:
The discipline and daily routine of ex-
ercise for this Prussian army is to all for
eigners a source of never-ending wonder.
The early morning is devoted to cleansing
e policing } the quarters and correcting
any irregularities which may have arisen
out of the previous days duties. Later
In the forenoon the hours are given to study
arithmetic, geography, geometry, theory
and practice of military science land even
singing is not neglected. Great Importance
is attached to the studies of the soldiers,
and by attaining certain advancement in
knowledge, each one. after satisfactory ex-
animation, can shorten his term of service
from one to two years. In the afternoon
of each day the bodily culture is attended
to, and this consists not only of purely
military drill, but also of every variety of,
physical exercise calculated to add either
strength or suppleness to the human form
