QUEER PLANTS USED AS FOOD.
Little Known Vegetables and Edible
Insects Found in Prairie Sections.

Insects Found in Prairie Sections.
At the department of agriculture in
Washington hidden away in an obscure
corner, is an odd sort of exhibit of
queer foods eaten by out-of-the-way
people, says the Star. There is loaf
of bread made from the roasted leaves
of plant allied to the century plant.
Another kind Of bread is from a dough
Of juniper berries. These are relished
by some tribes Of Indians, while others
manufacture cakes out Of different
kinds of bulbs The prairie Indians
relish a dish Of wild turnips, which
civilized people would not be likely to
enjoy at all. In the great American
desert the ''screw beans," which grow
on mesquite bushes, are utilized for
food. Soap berries furnish an agree
able diet for some savages in this coun-
try, while in California the copper
colored aborigines do not disdain the
seeds of salt grass. Also in California
the Digger Indians collect pine nuts,
which are the seeds of certain spe-
cies of pine-sometimes called "pinions"
by kindling fires against the trees,
thus causing the nuts to fall out of the
cones. At the same time a sweetgum
exudes from the bark, serving the pur-
pose Of sugar. The seeds of gourds
arc consumed in the shape of mush by
Indians in Arizona.
In addition to all these things, the
exhibit referred to includes a jar Of
pulyerized crickets, which are eaten
in that form by the Indians of Oregon.
They are roasted, as are likewise grass
hoppers, and even slugs. These deli
cacies are cooked in a pit, being ar
ranged in alternate layers with hot
stones. After being thus prepared, they
are dried and ground to powder. They
are mixed with pounded acorns or
berries, the flour made in this way be-
ing kneaded into cakes and dried in
the sun. The Assiniboines used a kind
of seed to stop bleeding at the nose.
Among other curious things used for
food are acorns, sunf1ower seeds, grape
seeds, flowers of cattails, moss fron the
spruce fir tree and the blossoms of
wild clover. The exhibit embraces a
number Of models representing grape
seeds enormously enlarged. 1t is ac-
tually possible to tell the species of
grape by the shape Of the seed. There
is jar Of red willow bark, which In
| dians mix with tobacco for the sake
Of economy. This, however, is only
one of a thousand plants that are uti-
lized in similar fashion.

Filling in 'sBlOwhOles' in Steel.

H. A. Royce has described an interest
ing adoption Of electric welding to the
filling in of "blowholes'' in steel. The
placing of 4 plug Of steel into the blow
hole so as to secure as perfect a union
between the plug and the mass-a plan
formerly practiced-was often found TO
be attended by a good deal of incer-
tairty. The next idea. was to place
small steel scrap or filings in the hole
and to melt them by the electric cur
rent; but the chilling effect of the walls
was too great and the metals would
not weld. The difficulty was at last
conquered by heating the mass in an
oil or gas furnace and then utilizing
the electric arc for melting steel filings
introduced into the hole. In this way
in few minutes so perfect union is
established between the plug and the
walls of the existing metals that in line
of demarcation was apparent when the
piece was planed down.

Suffering From Curious Persecutio On.

Thomas f. Cunningham, prominent
in society at Manchester, N. H., is
the victim of strange persecution at the
hands Of some unknown woman, who
is making life a burden to him. A
year ago she flooded him with letters.
This continued six months. Then her
deviltry assumed another phase. One
day last week all the hacknen in the
city called at his house at the same
hour in response to orders. A patent
medicine concern wrote to thank him
for his photograph and testimonial,
and another concern answered his sup
posed letter Of inquiry as to a cure for
drunkenness. The state insane asylum
authorities wrote to say that he would
be admitted to that institution, and the
officials Of the poor farm that he would
be cared for at the expense Of the
county. The same mysterious woman
was responsible for all these com'nuni-
cations, for she had written over his
signature asking for information, and
the replies were genuine.-Boston Her

Women Dealers i'm Real Estate.
"Luclzy real estate speculations are
not confined to men in Pittsburg," said
a real estate agent yesterday. There
Is one lady in this city who has built
and sold more houses in the last three
or four years than any one else in the
business. She seems most fortunate in
her speculations, and often when 9TH
ers, who consider themselves better
versed in property, have advised her
not to make a venture, she has gone
against them, following her own judg-
ment, and, strangely enough, has al
ways succeeded. She has never been
known to make a losing deal, and her
reputation for good sound judgment
has caused many persons anxious to in
vest in dirt and bricks about the city
to consult her. I know Of another very
lucky woman who is making much
money in real estate deals. She is a
typewriter on Fourth avenue, and
started specializing by selling some lots
which were left her by relative. With
this money she bought other property.
This she sold at an increase, and SO
she went on buying and selling until
to-day she has nearly $4,000 to her
credit. This sum she has amassed in
three years, with no capital to start
with but two lots worth, possibly,
5000. There are many other like in
stances of lucky women in Pittsburg.'

take great pleasure in recommending the
Kickapoo Remedies, and have known Of them

am at present a Sioux Indian interpreter for

My personal experience with Sagwa-which in
Indian tongue means 1.-THE BEST'-has been
considerable, but one of the most wonderful
effects from personal knowledge in my own case
was the curing of Chronic Catarrh with which
became afflicted, owing to the great altitude of
hhe country in which had been living.
1t did not at first occur to NE to take Kickapoo
Tndian Sagwa for this trouble; and it was not Ir-
til had visited the Hot Springs, and failed to
obtain relief, and the disease had become very
alarming that I was afraid 1t would get the
best of me and develope into consumption that
concluded to take Sagwa. got one bottle Of it
and a bottle. of Indian Oil. The effect was 90
marked tia 1immeda; ely ordered twelve bottles
of each, end now bes; the day that the thought
occurred to me, for 1 am entirely cured of that
most dtsagreeable and distressing of all diseases
1 am satisfied was cured owing to the perfect
manner in which ''Sagwa' purifes the blood; and
I clam that Sagwa, taken in connection with
Indian Oil, will positively cure the worst cases Of
.Hatarrh ever known; and so far as the use Of
kickapoo Indian Remedies as general family
medicines are concerned, there is nothing on
earth which c. equal them.
