CURIOUS BILLS OF FARE.
The AbOrIgines Have Some Dishes
That Are Remarkable.
From the 81. Louls Republlc.

From the ST. Louis Republic.
Some curious things are found in the
bills of fare of the various tribes of In
dams in this country, and the data which
have been collected by the government on
this subject furnish ain interesting study
The Indians of the Columbia river coun-
try in Oregon are very fond OF pulverized
crickets, which are roasted for eating.
The Insects are cooked in pit, being ar
ranged in alternate layers with hot
stones. After thus being prepared they
are dried, ground TO powder, and mixed
with pounded acoFns or berries, the -four
thus composed being kneaded into cakes
and dried In the sun. Grasshoppers, and
even slugs are utilized In a similar man
neP Experiments have proved that
grasshoppers are both palatable and nu-
tritious. Fried in their own oil or roasted,
they have a most agreeable, nutty taste
and crispness. Ground and compressed,
they will keep fresh indefinitely. Unfiedg-
ed hoppers boiled with butter, spices and
salt compose a broth that Is scarcely dis
tinguishable from beef BROTH These In
dams also eat the inner bark of a species
of pine, compressed when fresh into cakes.
SunhoWer roots are a faVorite diet of
the Klicketas of Vancouver Island. They
are prepared by drying in the sun. The
raw fat of the reindeer IS regarded as a
luxury by the aborigines along the Yu-
kon. On the Sacramento river dwell the
KinklaS, who nave developed the remark
able Accomplishment Of diving for mus
sells. which requires no little SKILL mas
much as those mollusks are strongly at
tached by the natural byssus to the rocks
on which they grow. These Indians use
small nets about the size of a lady's reti-
Guile for catching certain little fishes
The Indians of Vancouver sink fresh
tree branches in shallow water by means
of stones, so that the green foliage Is not
submerged. Next morning they are found
covered with herring eggs, deposited upon
them during the night. The eggs are
washed off into water proof baskets,
squeezed by the hand into small balls and
dried. Thus prepared they are very pala-
table and will keep" Indefinitely. These
same natives roast the roots Of ferns for
food Along the northwest coast gener-
ally clans are cured In great quantities
by sticking the meats on skewers and dry
ing them in smoke. Afterward they are
strung like dried apples on cords of native
hemp Dried clans are an important ar
ticle of trade between the coast Indians
and the tribes Of the interior
The Indians of the Hudson Bay region
regard the fat OF young pelicans as a
great delicacy. They melt II down and
preserve 1t in bladders for winter use II
becomes very rank by keeping, but this Is
considered TO improve the flavor. The fat
of pigeons Is equally esteemed by the
aborigines, of North Carolina, who put il
away for the cold season by hundreds of
gallons. 1t is used with bread as white

that great many clergymen are much
troubled by the members OF their congre-

prophet and evangelist Is so much bewil-
dered by the quantity and quality or thtse
condolences that he now makes X rule
not to see any member OF the fair sex In

she wants to consult him about. one day,
however. when he had reached a very
eloquent sermon, a sad-eyed lady member
Of his congregation forced her way into
his house on the plea OF ur-
gent business. and, in spite Of
his most discouraging manner, in
sisted on informing him with tears and
sobs that she had fallen hopelessly in love
with certain gentleman OF her acquainI-
ance, and that she did not know what
would become OF her in life unless he
could be persuaded to return her affec-
ton.
The reverend gentleman rose impatient
ly and exclaimed that he should advise
the lady to buy a bicycle, and go out for
long ride every day until she was cured.
The damsel went away weeping, and say
ing that, alasl he did not understand tat
her love fever was incurable! The clergy
man thought no more about this inter-
view which he looked upon as one OF tho
disagreeable details of his profession; hut

Pioneer Press, Is: Senator Pettigrew
reached South Dakota yesterday to carry
on his silver fight, with the headship Of
the national delegation as his object.
The sound money republicans have &C.
copied his challenge, are very angry, and
will inaugurate a bitter warfare upon
his machine methods. Our own opinion
is that the wisest thing the sound money
Republicans of South Dakota can do is
to compromise with Pettigrew. He is
not serious on the money question. If
he were quite sure that the South Dako.
Ia Republicans were for sound money he
will be for sound money too. He will be
for anything his constituents want. So
that the best way to fix up things in
South Dakota is to send Pettigrew, the
smartest man they have, to st. Louis
under sound money instructions.

OCALA, Fla, Feb. 2O.-After 10 days

men were released on writs Of habeas

John Davis, New York; Thomas
Forbes. Pennsylvania; Jack Ryan,
Louisiana; Don Clint. Illinois; John

They Preferred to Walk.
Two weeks ago the party reached
Ocala. They were well dressed, and
said they were walking to see the coun-
try better and to hunt and fish at will.
They had a lot of novelties for sale.
They did not ask aid, but the day after
their arrival they were arrested. JUS
tice Clara sent them to the convict
farm as tramps. At the ranch they
were b~arbarously treated. They were
chained to negroes and given impossi.
BILE tasks. Every night upon reporting
the tasks unperformed, they were
stripped, tied across logs and whipped
with rawhides till the blood gushed.

ter, the guards drove them into q pond,

quest they barred their backs, which
were found raw and quivering. Five

ing the young men, Judge Hooker said
their arrest, sentence and treatment
disgraced civilization, and every one
concerned in it should be severely pun
ished. The habeas corpus proceedings
were brought by Ocala citizens. The
victims of the outrage will bring heavy
