Locusts pexouriur Locusts.

In the summer of 1888, in which the
excessive heat and drought had brought
about the nearly entire disappearance of
vegetation in good part of the country
and more particularly in the broken
country of Banda Oriental, had occa-
sion to make a journey from San Jose to
Mercedes. At one place, Las Piedras,
at which the diligence stopped, I noticed
great numbers of locusts of the species
Pezotettix vittiger, Pezotettix maculi-
pennis and Pezotettix arrogans, which
covered the ground and rocks.
My attention was attracted by the
fact of seeing around one locust mum
Der of other individuals Of the same spe.
cies, which were eating its soft parts
even while it was yet alive and protest
ing vigorously. saw different attacks,
in which the conquerors, two or three at
a tiene, got hold of the weaker members
of their own kind, throwing them over
and opening the abdomen in order to
devour the entrails, these being the soft
er and more savory portions, since they
still contained some of the vegetable
food. Cannibalism here appeared in its
lowest development, and the numerous
remains of those which had been eaten
bore witness to the extent to which the
process had been carried.
In the face of facts of this character,
it seems certain that nothing is sacred
in nature when the prolongation Of life,
for the sake of the preservation Of the
species, is concerned Carl Berg in Nat
ural Science. $

The legendary Adam and Eve.

To the Scriptural account of the crea-
Ton and fall of Adam and Eve the Jewish
writer's of the Talmud have added many
curious particulars. According tosthese
mythmongers, Adam, when first created,
was "giant of giants" as far as stature
goes, his head reaching into the heavens
and his countenance outshining the sun
in all its splendor. In one place they
tell us that ''the very angels stood in
awe of the man which God had created,
and all creatures fastened to worship
him." Then the Lord, in order to give
the angels some idea of his power, caused
a deep sleep to come over Adam, and
while he was in cofhatose condition re-
moved portion of every limb and bone!
The first man thus lost part of his CO.
lossal stature, yet he remained perfect
and complete. Next, the first ':help-
meet" for the lord of creation was Gre
ated in the person of Lilith, who forsook
Adam to become the mistress of the
air and the mother of demons"
After the departure of Lilith, Eve was
created and married to Adam in the
presence of Jehovah and the angels, the
sun, moon and stars dancing together to
the angelic music rendered. Then the
supreme happiness of the human pair
excited the envy of even the angels, and
the seraph Sammael tempted them and
finally succeeded in bringing about their
fall from innocence. Adam lived as a
penitent on the very ground now occu-
pied by the temple at Mecca, and Eve in
cave on the side of Mount Ararat,
where, after lapse of 200 years, she
was rejoined to Adam.-St. Louis Re-

Queer Tastes In Eating.

In a popular restaurant the other day
at lunch took up what supposed was
saltbox to sprinkle my roast beef and
was startled by the sudden exclamation
of the waiter, '"That's sugar." This led
to O conversation in which the waiter
said that in an establishment where he
had been employed an old gentleman
came in regularly at least three times
week and ordered sirloin steak well
broiled, upon which he always poured
liberal portion of New Orleans molasses.
Another waiter said that on one occa-
sion young man had ordered powdered
sugar and two dozen oysters and that
he had literally sprinkled the sugar on
the oysters before he ate them. A COM
panion accompanied him and watched
the performance, and the waiter said he
believed it was the result of a bet. ]

Helping the Government.

In the past it is safe to relate certain
cases Of the cutting of red tape which at
the time were winked at and kept as
quiet as possible. Military routine often
left men without what civilians would
regard as the commonest necessities of

when they were unnecessary was hard
anywhere, and especially so at Washing
ton, where supplies were abundant
enough.

The rations were poor, and two soldiers,
