The eating of insects has not, hith-
erto presented itself as a vice. Now,
however, it appears that the indul-
gence OF strange taste for such food
roay be prejudicial to health and NOR
ality. Popular Science News prints
an account OF what was at first looked
upon as new disease that broke out
among colony of wood choppers in
Maine.
The boilers" men who cut the
round timbers into boards, we're the
frst to be attacked by It, For a day
or two they acted strangely, singing
and laughing about their work, maxi
ing much needless disturb e and
showing great e GiteLent. They lost
all appetite for food, going the whole
day without tasting mouthful. Later
their eyes grew bloodshot, and their
limbs shook as If they we're acted
with palsy. At more acute stage OF
the disease the men collapsed entirely.
A doctor was called in, and at once
pronounced thu ! toxicat d. The
rooms of the men we're searched, but
no liquor was found. Those about
them were questioned. but could throw
no light on the matter. Some OF the
symptoms did not indicate alcoholism.
The pulse was slower and more regu-
lar than in cases OF drunkenness,
while the pupils OF the eyes were en-
larged to twice their natural size. The
men remained in a semi-comatose
state for several days, returning to
their senses only after repeated doses
OF medicine had been administered.
When well enough to answer ques-
lions, the men all declared that thsy
had taken no liquor. When as ed 70

eating large quantities OF the great
brown and red ants which they found

A QUEER sUGG EsrIoN.

Considering the feeling that is said
to exist in Spain it seems queer to
find the Madrid newspaper Ell Naoional
proposing that the island of Cuba be
sold to the United States, on condition
that we assume the Spanish debt ap-
pertaining to it, that we allow Spain to
enjoy for a certain time her tariff priv
ileges, and that we guarantee life and
property to the Spanish inhabitants Of
the island.
OF course it is impossible to tell
whether this suggestion means any
thing. but If 1t does 1t will probably not
make much Roadway in this country.
Some in this country have proposed
that Cuba be bought, but no eagerness
to buy it Is apparent We do not be-
lieve the people want that island or
any other. They would like to see
Cuba free, and they would be willing to
do anything reasonable to help her, but
there are no indications that they
would consider it reasonable to pay a
big price for an island they do not
want.

want.

War is costly. A few years ago Ca
mile Flammarion worked out with care
an estimate of the cost of war, in men
and money, to civilized and Christian
countries during the last hundred
years. The total must seem consider
able, even to those who seem always
ready to go to war to satisfy spite
against some foreign country. The
Franco German war of 1S70-71 caused
the death, M Flammarion tells U.S. Of
250000 men. In the Crimean war Of
1S54-55 1885, 900 lives were lost. The brief
Italian war of 1859 brought about the
death of GO, 900 men In battle or in hos
pitfalls, and even the game of chess
between Russia and Austria, in 1866,
deprived $4,000 men of their lives. Our
civil war of 1861-65 meant death to $780,
900 men-an enormous host. The wars
waged by Napoleon during the First
Empire poured out the life blood of S.
600, 900 persons. The total of the slain
during the last century in the civilized
countries of Europe and the United
States is found to have been 1880, 900,
the slaughter of each man costing, ac-
cording to M. Flammarion, as much as
$1,000, in all s13S, sS6, 100000 Every year
Europe spends $1,2OOooO,Oo0 upon the
butchery of human beings, or prepare
ton for it. while France alone spends
100000 day. And the cost which our
civil war is at this day entailing upon
us is estimated at $3.50, 100000 a year.
This calculation only takes into ac-
count the money cost Of war. Who
can estimate it's cost in suffering?

The correspondent who sends the
following to 1.-THE Calcutta Asian"
states that his Information came to
him on unimpeachable authority.
During a royal hunt in one of the
Rajpoot States an exceptionally fine
tiger was caught--netted, no doubt
and lured into a cage; his captors then
proceeded to moose his feet and draw
them through holes bored in the floor
of the cage, and blacksmith was
directed to draw his claws. The tigers
legs having been secured by ropes, the
royal sportsmen had a sliding door In
the cage opened, and when the captive
put his head out they shut the door
down on his neck while the blacksmith,
with mallet and chisel, broke off his
teeth; preparations were concluded by
muzzling the poor brute with strong
wire in some inhuman fashion. The
tiger was then released, to be baited
by dogs, and, despite his manned con-
dition he killed several before the
"sportsmen" wearied Of the game and
shot him.
If this story is true, and the infor-
nation is said to have come from an
eyewitness-and there is nothing i'm
possible in the Gripping part of the
business--one would dearly like to
take each. of those Rajpoot royalties in
turn and read him lesson with cut
ting whip. Natives have singular
ideas concerning the use of Gagged
tigers. At the end Of a street in Jey-
| poor, one of the finest and most
advanced Of cities under protected"
native rule, they keeper kept ten
years ago-a number of tigers in small
cages When a European visitor APP

peared from his house close by, sa-
| Iaamed profoundly. and proceeded first
| to spit on his charges and then to stir
| them up with an iron rod kept for the
purpose. When the savage roaring
| this treatment naturally produced died
| away, that keeper salaamed more pro-
/ founoly and held out his hand. If bak-

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

There are some thoughtful people in
Massachusetts. A bill now awaiting
action by the Massachusetts legisla-
ture has for it's object the protection
from threatened determination within
the States limits of the plant known to
New Englanders as the trailing arbu-
tus. To accomplish this end the bill
provides a fine of $40 or Imprisonment
for twenty days as alternative punish
ments to be inflicted upon anybody
who, in any town of which he or she is
not a resident "disturbs, gathers and
carries or sends away" a single root,
leaf or flower of this species. At re-
cent committee hearing advocates of
the measure stated that in southern
Massachusetts, it was common for Ital-
ians and Portuguese to make invasions
on private lands and gather the arbu-
tus to send away for sale. They not
| only took the flower but the roots as
well, anu liieil uepieuotlouS were nav

New England favorite. The foreigners,
however, are not the only offenders,
for it was also asserted that in Hamp-
shire county girls from Smith and

tucked front A few tucIss, too, were
put at the wrists. The linen collar
worn with this had rolled edges, the
tie was Roman stripe silk, and the belt
was of tan leather. For house use the
waist was worn with skirt of brown,
green and scarlet woollen plaid, but
when summer comes there will be no
end of suitable matings for such waists.
Ribbon corsets are the latest fancy,
and they are pretty. They are made
of plaid ribbon, and seem to make the
most awkward figure take on curves,
while upon a pretty figure 1t seems a
shame to cover the corset at all. 1t is
pleasant to note that the soft corset
| is gaining favor at last. A corset
should, of course. hold the figure in
| absolute grip, but that grip should
| be the result Of countless bones, all soft
and all following the lines Of the figure
not crossing them. The bust of the
corset should be perfectly soft and
draw in at the top as does the top of 9
shirt, so that there can be no hare
edge showing through the gown.
1 Remember that unless you stanc
l /
straight and set the shoulders wei
back, the top of your corsets will sure.
| ly show at the back, and that will ruiz
the effect of any gown. No matter how
| we'll you stand, a corset that ends stiff
| and unyielding in the top of a lot O.
hard bones is likely to show anyhow
while a corset finished back and from
with a soft edge that can be drawn
close is less likely to mar the figure
Corsets make of soft, but heavy sill
are made unlined, the bones set ii
under ribbon. Such corset does in
deed fit like glove, and is comfortable
even while it is reducing your wais
size as much as two inches, when on
of the old-time stiff corsets would b,
simply squeezing you out of breath.
