Locusts as Food.

Locusts, says tourist in the Fast, are
now regular part of the days provi-
sions with us, and are really an excellent
article of diet. After trying them in Sc =
eral ways, we have come to the conclu-
sion that they are best plain boiled. The
long, hopping legs must be pulled of,
and the locust, held by the wings,
dipped into salt and ten. As to flavor,
this insect tastes of vegetable rather than
of fish CT flesh, not unlike green wheat,
and to us it supplies tha place Of ycgcJa-
bles, of which we are much in uecd.
For catching locusts the morning is the
time, when they are half-henumbcd by
the cold, and their wings damp with the
dew. They may then be found clustered
in hundreds under the desert bushes,
and gathered without trouble, merely
shoveled into n bag or basket They
dcvour everything vegetable, aud are de-
vourcd by everything animal larks and
bustards, ravens, hawks and bu yards.
We passed through tlocks of ravens and
buzzardS, sitting on the ground gorg d
with them. The camels MUNICH them in
with their food; the grayhounds run
swapping after them all day long, eating
as many as they can catch The Bedouins
often give them to their horses, and Just
now many tribes have nothing to eat but
locusts and eRmels' milk,

My father had determined 20 return to
Cuba. Unjustly accused of connivance
with the leaders of the insurrection,
wretched at the thought of the ruin into
which our lovely home there was falling,
he could not resist the impulse to 30
back. He took me from my girl COM
panions at the convent school at Mount
s.. Vincent, and, having turned all his
business into money, settled with me
and our trunks in the Saragossa hotel in
New York to await the departure of the
steamer. 1t was bad choice of hotel.
Low characters infested it. My life was
wretched while left alone there because
of the rudeness of the evil looking men
who idled their time away in the public
rooms. My only pleasant Iecollections
of that wretched week are of an Amcri-
can who played constantly but very
sweetly, on a cornet, in sutdued tones,
in room overhead. One air that he
played made deep impression upon me-
1t haunted me. One evening" as | was
listening to his cornet, there was a rap

walked in. They asked for my father
Their appearance and manner frightened

THE CAPTURE.

The scene is in New York. The time
is Friday night, my wife's evening at
home. 1t is raining, and we are not
likely to be called upon to entertain.
Something, who shall say what, has
brought me to the piano, an instrument
Ihave no liking for, and, indeed, only
play with one hand; with one finger, to
be accurate. Fate is in that finger. l

ARemedy for BiliOusness.

First, on getting up and going to bed,
drink plenty of cold water. Eat tor
breakfast, until the bilious attack passes,
a little stale bread, say one slice, and a
piece, half as large as your hand, Of
boiled lean beef or mutton. If the
weather is warm, tlke instead a little
cracked wheat or oatmeal porridge, For
dinner take the same thing. Go without
your supper. Exercise freely in the open
air, producing perspiration once or twice
a day. In few days your bil.ousness is
all goue. This result will come, c en-
though the biliousness is one of the spring
sort, and one with which YOU have from
year to year been much a iiicted. Herb
drinks, bitter drinks, lager beer, alo
whisky, aud half dozen other spring
medicines are simply barbarous. .--

THE INDIANS VALLEY

The fire sinks low, the drifting smoke
Dies softly in the autumn haze
And silent are the tongues that spoke
The speech of other days.
Gone, too, the husky ghosts whose feet
But now yon listening thicket stirred;
Unscared within its covert meet
The squirrel and the bird.
The story Of the past is told
But then, o Valley, sweet and lionel
Glen of the Rainbow thou shalt hold
It's romance rs thine own.
Thoughts of thine ancient forest prime
Shall sometimes haunt thy stfulrner dreams
And shape to low poetic rhyme,
Tho music of thy streams.
When Indian summer filings her cloak
OF brooding azure on the woods,
The pathos Of a vanished folk
Shall tinge thy solitudes.
1 The blue smoke Of their fires once more
| Far DER the hills shall seem to rise,
And sunsets golden clouds restore
The red mans paradise.
/ Strange sounds of a forgotten tongue
/ Shall cling to many a crag and cave,
/ In wash of falling waters sung,
Or mnrmur Of the wave
And oft in midmost hush of night,
Shrill DER the deep -mouthed cataracts roar,
Shall ring the war cry from the height
That woke the wilds of yore.
Sweet Vale, more peaceful thy skies,
Thy airs are fraught with rarer balm;
A peoples busy tumult lies
flushed in thy sylvan calm.
sweet thy peacel while fancy frames
Soft idyls of thy dwellers fed
They loved thee, called thee gentle names,
In the long summers dead
Quenched is the fire. the drifting smoke
Has vanished in the autumn haze;
Gone, too o Vale, the simple folk
Who loved thee in old days
But for their sakes-their lives serene
Their loves, perchance as sweet as ours
o, be thy woods for aye more green,
And fairer bloom thy flowersl

that she inquired how she starched them.
She said. 81 do not use boiled starch

| take four teaspoonfuls of starch and
one of powdered boraX. They will be
plenty stiff enough starched with cold
