LOcuSt'Eating.

We read in the Bible, that the
food of John the Baptist was "locus,s
and Wild honey A great deal OF
pains has been taken by commentao ors
to prove that it was not what we call
locusts, but the fruit of the wild
carob tree, that John ate with the
honey that he found in the wilderness
where he lived.
But | do not think that any one
who has travelled in Arabia, or found
rest and shelter in an Arabs tent. and
been a guest at his hospitable board,
would thus judge of what the Bible
means by ''locusts. In Turkey, Per-
sla, Arabia, and all that region of
country, locnsts-genuine, bona fde
locusts been eaten from remote
antiquity; and to this day, they form
an important item ri the food used by
the common people The Bedouins
collect them in immense quantities,
and, after a partial drying, pack them
in sacks. Then at their convenience,
when the season for collecting is over,
they steam the insects in close vessels
over hot fire, wlnnow them in broad
baskets to remove the legs aud wings,
and then pulverize between fiat stones.
When wanted for food, they are only
moiStened with little water, Just as
the Arabs do in preparing their date
flour, and then the repast is all ready.
The Turks eat locusts in the same
way, and by very many other Orient
ais they are regarded as the choicest
of dainties.
The Moors boil or fry them, season.
ing with salt, pepper and vinegar;
and they pronounce them even superi
or to quails and pigeons. The Hot.
tentots make from the eggs delicious
soup; they also roast the locusts over
slow fire, and eat them as we do
caramels or bon-bons. Dr. Living
stone says he used them at first from
necessity, when deprived Of all other
food shut, strange to say, grew daily
more fond of them, and at last pre-
ferred them to shrimps or oysters. -

THE HARM THE INNOCENT
OLD LADY Did.

She lives down on Baker street, and
she has a daughter about eighteen
years old The old lady retains all
her simplicity and innocence, and she
doesn't go two cents on style. The
other evening, when a "SpIendld catch
called to escort the daughter to the
opera. the mother wouldn't take the
hint to keep still, and wouldn't help
carry ont the daughters idea that they
had wealth. While helping her
daughter Get ready she asked
"Mary, are you gong to wear the
shoes with one heel off, or the pa,r
with the holes in m p
Mary didn't seem to hear, and the
mother inquired ''Are you going to
wear that dollar gold chain and that
washed locket, OF will you wear the
diamond father bought at tie hard
ware store p
Mary winked al her, and the young
man blushel, but the old lady went on:
care YOU going to borrow Mrs.
Browns shawl, or will you wear mine?"
Mary hustled around the room, and
the mother said "be CAREFUL ofyour
dress, Mary /; you know it's the only
one you've got, and you can't have an
other until the mortgage on this place
is lifted"
Mary remarked to her escort that it
promised to he a beautiful evening,
and, and as she buttoned her glove
her mother asked "Those are Mrs.
Hardy's gloves, amt they? She's
been good neighbor to us, and ]
don't know how you'd go anywhere if
she didn't live near us.
Mary was hurrylng to get out of the
room, when the mother raised her
voice once more and asked "Did you
run III to Mrs. Jewett's and borrow
her bracelet and fan ? Yes, l see you
did. We'll, now, YOU look real stylish,
and hope you will haveagood timc''
Mary sits by her window in the
pale moonlight and sighs for the
splendid young man to come and beau
her around some more, but he hasn't
been seen up that way since that night.
The old lady, too, that he seemed
like nice young man, and she Lopes
he hasn't been killed by the street
cars

Chicago Parks.

Chicago has under preparation a
system of public parks, which, when
completed, will furnish, without ex-
ception, the largest connected area of
driving grounds and breathing places
in this country. Imagine a city laid
out on flat territory, without na.u-
raj elevation exceeding six feet in
height. This city is IN the form of a
parallelogram, seven miles from north
to south, and four miles from east to
west. The eastern line varies accord
ing to the irregularities Of the shores
of Lake Michigan AT the north east
corner of this ground plan, and lying
along the lake shore, is a natural
park containing 153 acres. This is
Lincoln Park, and is already complet
ed. The park system includes
"Grand boulevard with road way,
$50 feet wide, extending, from the
northern extremity of Llncoln Park,
four miles west, where it enters Hum
boldt Park, high piece Of land con
tanning 290 acres. The Grand Bou-
levard is resumed at the south end Of
this park, and, continuing two mis-
solth, enters Central Park, VIII ca
contains 236 acres. A mile south of
Central is Douglas Park, containing
232 acres. The boulevard which
started from Lincoln Park, connects
the Central and Douglas Parks, and
thence continuing south and east,
distance of six miles, where it con-
meets with North Park, i tract of 500
acres or more. A mile and a half to
the south and east Of this, located
South Park, which has something ov.
er 500 acres. 1t will be understood,
therefore, that Chicago has not merely
a park, but succession of parks, 10.
Gated at intervals of a few miles along
the northern, western, and southern
boundaries Of the city. The whole,
connected with a broad drive
planted on both sides, furnishing, ex.
elusive ofthe road-ways in the park, Il
continuous drive of twenty-five miles.
The system requires time to complete
it. The purchase Of the land has been
costly. The west parks Humboldt,
Central, and Douglas-have been
planted and fenced, and the interior
finish of Central Park has been in
part completed. Lincoln Park is
resort of thousands of all days, and
especially on Sundays,-J ". Shea

In connection with the death of An

tion Of his person, written by Charles
Dickens in 1868, is specially interes-
ting:
81 was very much surprised by the
Presidents face and manner. 1t is, in
its way, one of the most remarkable
faces | ever have seen. Not imagina-
tive, but very powerful in its firmness
(or, perhaps, obstinacy,) strength of
will and steadiness ofpurpose. There
is reticence in It, too, curiously at
variance with that first unfortunate
speech of his. A man not to be turn
ed or trifled with. A man, | should
say, who must be killed to be got out
Of the way. His manners perfect y
composed. There was an air OF chron.
ic anxiety upon him, but not crease
or ruffie in his dress, and his papers
were rs composed as himself"
