Insect-EatIng Men.

Insect Eating Men.
The insect-eaters here referred to
are not occasional persons of deprived
tastes. but whole nations, who con-
sumo insects on so large scale as to
raise them to a regular article of trade.
Locusts are an article of food in parts
of Africa. Arabia and Persia, or such
import ace that the price Of provisions
is influenced by the quantity of the
dried insects In hand. The Tuaregs
of Africa esteem them highly, and a
single individual win eat as many as
300 Of them-Taw, roasted or stewed
at a meal. Cakes of crushed locusts
are delicacy. Boiled iocusts are APP
preciated in Burmah. Termites and
ants arethe next most important food
insects. The egg-laden bodies of fe-
males of Alta cepltGl0tes are industri-
ously collected by Indians in South
America, and the taste of their roasted
and sailed bodies has been appreciated
even by Europeans. The African ne
groes can hardly get enough Of ter
mites, which are eaten fried at the
Cape and in other regions are made
into cakes. Roasted termites taste
somewhat like marrow or sweet cream.
The seyenteen-year locust has been
eaten in North America, and is said to
have been used in soaD-malxing. Cakes
are made in Mexico with the eggs of
two kinds of water bugs. A cake
made in Fezzan of insect eggs is de-
scribed as having the taste of cavaire.
The Romans were fond of Iarva
which they called cossus. A favorite
dish is prepared in Jamaica from the
larva of a beetle that lives in the
trunks of palm trees. Another wood
insect is preserved in sugar by the
Chinese and Malays. and liquor is
made, with the addition of some water.
from beetle in Mexico. Caterpillars
are eaten In Australia and at the Cape,
at the risk of wofnl pains in the stom-
ach, and even spiders. abhorred BY
every other race, are eaten BY the Hot
tent5ts and New CaledoDians, with
the same liability. Worms are ac-
copied as food by very few people. A
kind of grub is collected and eaten in
Brazil. nereid worm in Samoa, and a
reed-worm by the Amos of Japan.
The Australians around Port Adelaide
are said to have lived exclusively on
worms and mollusks. while they abb
horred beef. Some persons in Naples
eat tape-worm, parasite of the
carp, fried in oil. and~call il by the
name Of macarOni piottS. Sea-urchins

in some Of the Mediterranean districts

A Public Laundry in Mexico.

The public laundry of Jalapa is q bit
of quaintncss to which no pen can do

adobe, resting on immense stone pillars,
and erected exactly in the center Of the
city, as If washing were the chief bust
ness of life, as, indeed, it is among the
lower classes, who make up the majority
in this country. Great squares of Pom

ranged along both sides of the running

fountain above. An aqueduct, running
through the principal streets, carries of

A Norwegian Farmhouse.

The first impression of an ordinary
Norwegian farm stealing is not very
favorable. A cluster of houses, small
and aged, crowd around a larger dwell
ing house, which generally looks some
what d%ilapidated. But this appear
ance is deceptive: for the walls being Of
wood, they look old in a few years, and
become bIotched and scared by the
weather. The roof is of the same ma
terial, or, in the case OF the principal
building, either of red tile or slab. Some
times the dwelling house is painted
white, when the effect is to relieve the
sombre aspect of the group. The walls
are usually stout and.thoroughly weather.
proof, planks about four inches thick
being used in their construction. These
planks are placed edgewise on one an
other, crossed and countersunk at the
angles, and calked in the seams with
dry moss. A skin of thin wovd is placed
over the outside, while the interior is
lined smoothly with boards. Inside
there is an air Of comfort and cleanliness.
A table stands in the centre of the chief
room, and along the wall a bench runs,
which serves for chairs, of which there
is usually u deficiency. From pots on
the floor ivy is sometimes trained up
ward to the roof, giving the room a
festive and refreshing look. Not unfre-

HANGED TOGETHER
Execution OF Three Italians In
ChicagO-Thcir Cri Me.

Execution OF Three Italians III
Chicago-Thcir Crine.
The execution of Azari, Sylvestri and Gil.
ardo took place ct noon the other day in the
Chicago county Jail. At a quarter to twelve
the condemned mon, with their
spiritual advisers, were taken to
the Jail library, where the death warrant
was read. They betrayed no emotion, hav-
ing apparently become reconciled to their
fate. At eleven minutes to twelve they were
marched to the scaffold and were at once
placed in proper position on the trap side by
side. Gilardo maintained an especially brave
demsanor. as did SylveStri, but Azari kept
his eyes closed and was apparently ON the
verge of breaking down.
They all repeated in italian the prayers for
the dying, as first pronounced by the priest.
This occupied about five minutes, and alter
the prayers were finished Jailer Fclz ad-
justed the straps, AMI the white caps and
shrouds were quickly placed on the men. A
trap was sprung. 1t was all over for Sylves.
trl and Gilario at once, their necks being
broken by the fall.
A more fearful death ensned for Azari.
The moose slipped when the rope stretched,
and the knot lodged under his chin. The
poor wretch drew up his legs, shu'1derS ran
through his flame, anu his convulsive gasps
were terrible to soc. He was slowly strang-
ling. The crowd pressed forward. The
medical men surrounded the CULVER
ing body, while expressions OF horror
came from those who coulI see it. For four
minutes the twitching lasted, while the gasps,
longer intervals gradually ensuing between
each, did not cease until five and q half min
utes had elapsed. 1t was seven minutes be-
fore tho pulse ceased TO beat.
The crime for which the three mon were
hanged was most diabOlical and cold.b FLOODED.
1t was committed April 30, at Il TIlIen
avenue, Chicago, where the culprits resided,
but was not discovered for two days alter
ward. On May 2 there arrived in Pitts
burg from Chicago u trunk, from
which proceeded such a stencil that it was
broken open, and in it was found the dead
body of a man. The trunk was re-
turned to Chicago and the body identified as
that of Fillipo Caruso, an Italian fruit pcdlar:
Chicago officers found where the trunk had
been bought and traced the mar who shipped
it to New York, where he was speedily ar
rested and brought back. He proved to be
Agostino Gilardo. His companions,
Azari and Sylvestri, were also placed
in Jail. On being separately Questioned they
admitted that the plot to kill Caruso had orl-
ginated two months before its execution. On
the day oil the murder the three invited him
into their house. They were shaving each
other and offered to shave him. After ap-
plying the lather the three men dexterously
passed a short thin rope around their victims
neck and strangled him before he had an op-
~cortuuity to :ss.st Or to sound an alarm.

A parrot that sings "My Love is Like

Prairie grass is now turned into paper.
A mill at Quincy, Mo-, has used 400, Ooo
tons of the grass for that purpose since

tate of $50, 600, OO0, and is estimated to
be worth 81, 100, 900, 900.
1t seems that the Coney Island ele-
plant, thought the largest of his kind,
is not the first. The great Napoleon had
erected a colossal elephant, some forty
feet high, in Paris, which was still

The American Indians are found by
Matthews to have a knowledge OF
mails and plants i~ncomparably superior

white man who has not made zoology or
botany a study.
The custom of taking a solemn oath
upon a sword originated during the
Crusades. In a plain, unenriched sword,
the separation between the hilt and the
blade was usually a straight, transverse
bar, which suggesting the idea OF a
cross, added to the devotion which every
true knight felt for his f~avorite weapon,
and evidently led to this practice.
A custom of the days gone by still OBJ
tains in the District of Columbia courts.
According to an old Maryland law, the
foreman of each jury is presented with
q pound of tobacco on rendering the YER
dict in each case. AS this is far in excess
of the demand for the weed, the cash
equivalent of 81 is substituted. The to-
bacco fund amounts to a considerable
sum during a term of court, and IS U.s.
ually devoted to the purchase of a cane
for the foreman, bouquets for the judge,
and minor comforts for the jurors.
Hallowmas is one of the names for
the feast OF All-lIallows, that is, ALI
Saints. 1t was formerly a custom for the
poor people to 20 from parish to parish
"a souling." as they termed it, that IS,
begging for soul cakes, at the same time
singing a song which they called the
soulers' song. 1t was, no doubt, con-
nected with the ceremony of praying for
departed souls, especially those of
friends, on the ensuing day, the feast of
All Souls. The season of Hallowmas,
having been frequently mild from time
immemorial, has been called All-Hallown
Summer.
