EDITOR Bro SANDY NEWS
Many years ago, near the now
city oil CatIstisburg, heard Rich
ard Apparson, Sr,, while making a
railroad speech to I'm immense au-
dience Of ladies' and gentlemen. az
he turned his face, and pointed tow
ard the hills back Of said city, say
"Those beautiful hills, that look
down upon Your promising village,
bear upon their green Hopes the
impress Of the Father OF his Coun-
try 2 F."
/ hsd heard, before that
time, that George Washington, in
young manhood, had been in this
section, and up the Big Sandy as
far as short distace above Louisa.

ing the life Of my esteemed aud we'll
informed friend, Judge NJ. J. Fer.
guson, heard him speak Ola pine

EThere is very conclusive evil
dence that Georga Washington was

to have had in his possession the

lands. 1t was Issued 10 John Fry
in iT72 by the crcwn Of Great Brit
ain for 20S4 acres 81 land the sur
vey upon which the pa ent WAS is
sued having been mNde by George
Washington. A little less than
one.third Of the tract IT'S on the
Virginia side Of the Big Sandy riv

II is said that WASHINGTON always
marked the corners Of his survey

tails cfhis name; and there seem
to be very littlc-room 10 doubt tina

How to Utilize Grasshoppers.

The grasshopper plague in Minnesota
has assumed so serious character that
the farmers around st. Paul have decided
to pay 81 a bushel for the insects in order
TO stimulate the efforts for their destruc-
ton. In Venezuela recently prize of
81 900 was offered To anybody who would
invent a means of prohtablv converting
locusts into grease or any other useful
article. We cannot claim originality for
tho idea, but why not adopt the Indian
SYSTEM The aboriginal farmers OF the
plains, we have been told heretofore, do
not regard the grasshopper as an unquali
fled evil When their wheat crops grow
undisturbed by these insects the Indians
eat the wheat after it has been prepared
in the usual way. When the grasshop-
pers come and eat the wheat, however,
the Indians eat the grasshoppers In
this way they are always sure Of good
crop Of one kind or the other and are
happy in any event.
There is authority for the statement
that fried grasshopr 'rs are not unpalata-
BILE, the testimony OF white men who
have dined on them being that they have
rich, nutty taste, not unlike peanuts
or something of that sort, and that the
most squeamish person would enjoy them
If they were served up in batter or
under some other name. We do not
care to press the subject too far, but why
not give the frisky visitors Z chance to
redeem their reputation by transferring
them from the field to the kitchen, from
the furrow to the frying pam The Indian
holds the oyster and shrioap in scorn, and
his, we know, Is blind and unreasonable
prejudice. Why not learn from him at
the same time that we teach him to es-
teen our delicaciesl Let our friends in
Minnesota, then, name the grasshopper
the prairie shrimp" for instance and
gather him in and make the most of him.

Cormorants Wishing In China.

Sometimes several fishers form partner
ship, and start cooperative business.
They invest in shallow punt, and regi-
ment of perhaps twenty or more of these
solemn birds sit on pcrches at either end
Of the punt. each having a hempen cord
fastened round the throat Just below the
pouch. 10 prevent its swallowing any fish
It may catch. Then. at given signal. all
the cormorants glide into the water. APP
parently well aware of tina disadvantage
Of soaring the prey
Their movements below the surface are
very swift and graceful as they dart In
pursuit OF fish or al eel. and giving II q
nip with their strong. hooked beak. swal-
low it, and continue hunting. Sometimes
they do not return 10 the surface till thoy
have secured several fish. and their
capacious pouch Is quite distended.
and sometimes the tail OF fish protrudes
from their gaping bill Then they return
10 the surface. and at the bidding OF their
keepers disgorge their prey, one By one,
till the pouch Is empty. when they again
receive the signal to dive When the
birds are tired the strap Is removed from
the throat. and they are rewarded with .
share Of the fish, which they c-,ch as 1t Is
thrown to thsm.-Youth's Companion.
