How do the Indians use the worInsf"
I'm soups. Tie Piutess seem never TO tire
OF soup. They have It almost every day. A

for each dish OF soup. Sometimes gallant
Indian gives pretty or popular squaw one
or his portion. Tho worms are not eaten
until the soup has been consumed, they being
reserved as a final tid-bit. / have tasted the
WORMS and found them very palatable. They
are rich and oily like the nut upon which they
feed New York Tribune.
