eRAssH0PPERs FOR FOOD.
The Sufferers From the Plague Out West
Might Get Even by Eating Them.

The Sufferers From the Plague Out West
Might Got Even BY Eating Them.
A grasshopper plague being advertised
for this summer in the West, why should
not the people who are threatened with
starvation by these insects use them for
food? Experiments have been made which
prove that grasshoppers are both palatable
and nutritious. They have been tried in
many styles of cookery and have been de.
clared delicious. Unfedged grasshoppers,
boiled for two hours, with butter, spices
and salt added, compose a broth that is
scarcely distinguishable from beef broth,
though possessing peculiar and indescriba-
BILE flavor OF its own. Fried in their own
oil, or roasted, they have most agreeable
nutty taste and crispness. Ground and
compressed, they will last fresh indefinitely.
Persons who have looked into the subject
assert that insects might furnish to man.
kind important contributions of food which
are at present unused and despised. 1t has
been ascertained that young wasp grubs
fried in butter are most agreeable deli
cacy. On every farm the nests of these in
sects are ruthlessly destroyed, whereas a
little knowledge would show the much
afflicted agriculturist how to derive from
them welcome dish for his table. Young
wasp grubs, fed as they are upon the sweet
est Juices drawn from fruits and flowers,
naturally possess most delicate flavor.
Perhaps the best way to prepare them is to
bake them in the comb.

A THEORY OF DrsHWAsHINe.

Cold Water and Kerosene Arc as Good a.
Hot Water and Soap.
What is dish washing? asks Edward At
kinson. Then he goes on thus: Mainly
the removal of grease. What do we use?
Hot water. What for? To melt or soften
the grease. The water itself will not take
1t up In solution. Then use some soap.
What is soap? A product of grease con-
verted into detergent by union with an
alkali; very foul grease, some Of it. often Is
in the soup. '.'
Is not the alkali in the loap already COM
bined almost to its full power with the
grease of viii ch the soap is made? Surely.
Then why add grease to grease, all to be
softened by hot water, in order to induce
the alkali to take up little more?
In all the bleacheries the bleachers use a
little refined oil as a detergent. All the
skilful managers of laundries put little re-
fined kerosene oil into their water for wash
ing. 1t is one of the purest detergents that
nature yields, to some extent q germicide
and an antiseptic; unpleasant only from its
bad odor.
1t then occurred to me that teaspoonful
added to pan full of slightly warm water
might not give any unpleasant odor and
might instantly attack the grease upon the
metal pans and upon the dishes, SO as to
bring it into an emulsion which the water
would hold in suspension and SO carry away.
The theory proved to be we'll founded. In
practice pans and dishes can be cleaned with
one-half of the work and in more thorough
manner by this method than by the applica-
tion of hot water and soap.
Whether or not the emulsion or combina-
ton of the grease with the mineral or kero-
sene oil, will breed bacteria or will become
foul in the sewers is a matter that subse-
quent investigation must determine Suffice
it that in washing dishes we need not add
grease to grease, and that one-half the work
Of dish washing may be done away with.

THE CIRCUS IN TOWN.
jolly Nellie McHenry in the Latest
Fad in the Amusement Way.
FANNY DAVENPORT's CLEOPATRA
Again Appeals to the Admirers of Good
Plays and Scenery.
ALL THE PLAYS IN TOWN CRITICISED

"a Night at the Circus" is good thing
whenever it comes around, everybody ad-
mits, and that which Miss Nellie McHenry
and lot of clever farceurs gave US last
night at the BUou Theater, is no exception
to the rule. 1t is bright, rollickingly
funny. and pretty nearly free from all OBJ
jectionable features Better than all. from
the average thester-goer's standpoint, it is
tolerably new in theme and treatment.
The plot is not so complicated that
surgery is needed to get at it
and yet the story has some startling trips
and turns, and treats an interesting EN-.
broilment in a broadly farcical manner
Electra, q circus rider, and her twin sister, q
demure Quaker governess, change clothes
and live for a while, and from this as
starting point q host of absurd Incidents are
erected. The play is like Grattan Donnelly's
other farce comedies in a good many ways,
the weakness of the dialogue, for instance,
but it is by far the best work he has done.
1t is acted well, and perhaps it is the actors
rather than their lines or the situations that
call for the most of the laughter.
Miss McHenry Is a joyous, 1aunty little
bundle of nerves, good looks and frisky feet.
She is never still; and even her eyes have to
pose. She plays the girl of the circus with
all her wonted dash and abandon. Ben
Lodge as a naughty old lawyer, j. H. Brad
bury as a be-diamonded circus manager
splendidly made up, were severally and
particularly capital. John Gilroy as
the regulation fresh office boy
of farce comedy was also good and his dane
ing was remarkable. Mr.. Biadbury's cork
drawing song was very funny and q new
thing; while topical song about 'paying
good money to know" was very vulgar and
offensive in one verse of which Dr.. Park
hurst was the subject, and stupid enough to
be omitted anyhow. The rest OF the COM
pany, including lively corps Of pretty girls,
ence, which was large, seemed to enjoy the
performance immensely. The last act. with
Its picturesque suggestions Of the circus
tent Is the best

A BREEZY TINE,
Another Alleged Farce Comedy without
Plot Orioinalitv sDecia,tv mr. Excpse

Another Alleged Farce Comedy without
Plot, Originality, Specially or Excuse.
"a Breezy Time" is the name OF the at.
traction offered at the Grand Opera House
last night. 1t is called q "rollicking musical
farce comedy" by the autnor, who, as far as
the programme was concerned, conceals his
identity. 1t is said Mr.. Byron ". King, the
well-known elocutionist of this city, wrote
the play, but how much Of the original at.
rangement remains at present Is not known.
Let us hope there is not much. The per-
formance is divided into three separate and
distinct "breezes." The last section is
called Hurricane" 1t was in the arrange
ment of the "breezes' that the author made
a mistake. He should have opened with q
hurricane and made it all-destroying.
Usually, this class of show makes no claim
to having any such thing as plot or scheme.
There is a mere suggestion of continuity,
the main idea being to give specially per-
formers chance to shine. But "a Breezy
Time" is unique, inasmuch as it offers
neither plot nor specially. For two hours
the IA members composing this troupe ag-
gravated an unoffending audience with
"chestnuts." There are few performances
that will not offer at least one or two original
ideas or sayings. "a Breezy Time" bears
the distinction of being wholly without
originality of any kind. There is but one
redecming feature and that is Miss Helen
Rainsley's fine singing. Miss Rainsey is
one of the best vocalists farce comedy has
known in this city. Her appearance on the
stage is an oasis on the desert. And here it
is charitable to stop.

Another War to Be Inaugurated on
Law Defying Trusts.
AFTER THEN In PHILADELPHIA.
The Biscuit Combine Compelled to Pay Roy
alties to Candy Men.
FIRES, FAILURES AND RAILROAD NEWS

PHILADELPHIA, April 25-Another
series of attacks against some of the many
trusts BY the United States authorities may
be expected before long. During the past
week c. NJ Horton, the newly appointed
special agent of the Department of Justice,
whose special duty is to Investigate illegal
combines, has been in the city gathering
Information. His presence was kept pro-
found secret, but it is understood that the
special object of his visit was to collect
evidence against the Sugar Trust and the
National Cordage Trust. While he was
here he visited several well-known lawyers,
and with them went over the
various antitrust crusades that are
pending in the Circuit courts. He was es-
pecially interested in the attack on the
Oleomargarine Trust. and before he left town
he called on Lawyer Kaufman and secured
from him copies of the bills filed against
the Chicago concern. He also called on
United States District Attorney Ingham,
but owing to the illness of that official he
was unable to have a conference with him.
From here Mr.. Horton went to New
York. where the District Attorney is to act
with him in the crusade against the Cord
age COmD1ne anu possibly tue ouStf rust
So far all efforts to break up the Cordage
Trust here have been without avail, but it is
believed that Mr.. Horton has gathered
enough evidence to warrant another attack.
To Mr.. Horton is due the credit of break
ing up the Whisky Trust, and the record he
made in that fight has made him an object
of lear to the monopolists. In the few
weeks he worked against the whisky ring
he collected enough evidence to warrant the
arrest OF the principals, besides checking
the business by an injunction. The officials
of the ring are now under bail in Chicago.
Mr.. Horton Is directly attached to the
central office at Washington, and he works
under the immediate direction of the Attor
ney General His proceedings are brought
under the Sherman act which makes the
formation Of trust O criminal conspiracy.
This la W has been held to be constitutional,
and the crusades against the combines are
therefore warranted II evidence can be Sc
cured. Since Mr.. Horton's appointment,
however, every obstacle has been thrown in
his way and It Is only after the greatest
labor that he can gain possession of the de-
sired facts.
