DIR. LANGDON's LECTURE.

He Lived In Italy and Talkel of Papscy.
The Rev. DIR. Langdon lectEed at Brown
University last evening. He said in part:
Latin Christianity as religion addresses
man through the intellect, the will and
the conscience. 1t does this in different
ways in different times and in different
persons. Latin Christianity expresses it
self in terms of Latin law. The Media
val Papacy was christianity expressing
itself in medieval terms aud law. 1t had
a basis in political history. II was the re-
sponse of Datin organizing genius.
The mediaeval papacy is feudalism in
the church as compared with feudalism in
the State. So long as it existed in the
State so long was there necessity for the
papacy in the heart of Italy.
In speaking OF the personal character
and excellence of the Popes DR.. Langdon
said that none had ever surpassed the
power and moral excellence of the present
Popt Leo XIII. DIR. Langdon was a resi-
dent in Italy during the entire Italian rev.
olution and had personal experience in
matters of public interest while there, 50
that his lecture was doubly interesting on
that account.

How Indians Eat Grasshoppers.

When California was first settled by the
whites Immediately after the discovery Of
gold, there was estimated at that time to
be over sixty thousand Indians.
There were several large campoodies on
the Consumes river, and nm invasion Of
grasshoppers, which we look upon as a
calamity, TO them was n veritable blessing.
/ remember very well the great grass.
hopper year." as IL was called. IL was in
1853 During the last of May and the first
of June the entire counties of Sacramento
and san Joaquin were covered with locusts
or "hoppers" and nothing to equal it has
been witnessed in the state since.
With the Digger Indians the grasshop-
pers are great luxury, and are used as
meat and eaten in various ways. That
year Indians swarmed into the valleys
from the mountains and had n royal feast
for several weeks Some would catch the
grasshoppers, thread them on string,
hang them over the fire until done brown,
then eat them from the string the same as
children do popcorn.
Others would set the grass on fire, which
both disabled the "hoppers" and cooked
them, when they were picked up and eaten
or slowed away for future use. The most
popular way, however, when the choppers"
were thickest, was to dig n hole SO deep
that they could not jump out, and driving
them to the center and into the receptacle
prepared for them.
In this. sircle. which sometimes covered
many acres, were all the women and chill
dren in the camp They carried brush In
each hand and would drive the choppers"
without difficulty. When the drive was
over the choppers" were put in bags aud
baskets, saturated with salt water and laid
TO one side for use in winter They are
eaten then as white people do shrimps.
They are also mixed with acorn or seed
meal after being ground into paste Sac.

banter, keep the audience amused most of
the time. "Yours forever. Mary Ellen

usual, but she made up for her shortcom-
ing by her vivacious acting. The piece,
aside from the reminding of loves spark
in the breast of Mr. McKenna, is full Of
fun and the stage pictures are always
illuminated by bright faces and pretty
costumes. The songs that enliven the
play are familiar TO many. They include
"When Our Dinner Hour Comes Round,
