THE grasshopper scare has blown over,
but ere the flying hosts pass away forever,
our American practically is asserting itself
in an attempt at utilizing the pests. A
president of deaf and dumb asylum and
minister have had SEINE of the animals
cooked, and pronounce them good eating,
tasting like small fish. There may be moth
ing significant in the fact .hst q clergyman
is trying to make living of of them, but
We await with considerable anxiety the re-
sult of the investigation. A new dish of
grasshoppers would be grand discovery for
the 18th century. Then again We are anx
ious to know how they will be COOKED, fried
roasted or stewed; whether they will be
used f5f stufing or preserved as sauce.
"Grasshopper on toast" would look well on
a bill of fare, and when they get to adding
tie French Examinations a la big hotels, we
may then realize what san be done by the
culinary art.

THERE are probably few more touching

to SEQ three or forr ladies meet each other

therefrom the pedal extremity. Why wo-
men should do thusly is q question which
has long puzzled the student of osculology,
but suffice it for ctr purpose that this al

dies away even as the fash of lightning
dies away in the sky, but like tits followed
by another sound more ominous and long
Continued. 1t is the sound of human
voices telling each other of their undyiug
affection, of how long they have beer dying
to see each other, and how glad they are to
have the mortuary process stopped by this
