Practical Test of the Matter-A Dainty Lie
Well Told.


Yesterday afternoon Messrs Riley and Straight
determined to test the cooked locust question, in
regard TO its adaptability food for the human
stomach. Getting wind of the affair, and being
always in haste TO indulge in free feeding, we
made bold to 'intrude ourselves on onr scientific
friends. We found bounteous table spread
surrounded by the gentlemen named, accom-
panied by Mrs. Straight and Miss Maltby. With
out much waste of ceremony there were five per-
sons seated, and we were helped to soup which
plainly showed its lucust origin, and tasted like
chicken sOup-and it was good; after seasoning
was added, we could distinguish dilicate musIl-
room havor-and it was better. Then came bat
ter-cakes, through which locusts were well mix
ed. The soup had banished silly prejudice and
sharPcnea our appetite for che next Lesson, and
batter-cakes quickly disappeared also. Baked
loeusts were tried (plan hOppers, without con-
diment) and either with or without accountant
ments, 1t was pronounced an excellent dish.
The meal was closed with dessert a Ia John

enough to make the attempt, but should this in
