An omcIet of white Ants.

Africa seems to be the great country for
insect eating. Largo quantities of locusts,
caterpillars and beetle grubs are consumed
by the natives, and in certain parts white
ants or termitcs are esteemed a welcome
addition to the bill OF fare. These ants
may be prepared in various ways. One is
TO boil them down in Tlter to the consist
ency Of porCidgc, or they may be eaten
simply dried over tho fire. Cooked with
beaten up eggs they make q not unsavory
umcler. or they may be used IN meat pies
instead Of flesh. \ European traveller in
Africa remarks that white ants taste
something like meat stufiing. He received
about so loads Of them for the use of his
people.
The same traveller tells US how or his
marches he used small ants nests, mush-
room shaped and about the size of u mans
head, a. hearthstones, three of them being

HvnnctIs.Ia was employed recently by
New York hospital surgeon in subduing
man in "A fit whom five pOliceslen could
not overcome. DR.. Wheeler, the surgeon,
was on an ambulance which had been
sent to Third avenue and Sixteenth street
10 the aid of sailor who had fallen in the
street. He found the man in charge of
policeman.
The sailor rose 10 his feet and tri-i to
get away He was suffering from vio-
lent form of epilepsy, and he threw the
policeman around the pavement rs If he
were figure CT straw. The policeman
raped for assistance, and fOur other blue
coats came to his aid.
The sailor, who had developed all the
strength OF mania, handled the five police
mon Us if they we're children. The officers
were about TO use their clubs when the
ambulance surgeon arrived on the scene
Let the man go, he said. All the
I policemen relinCuished their hold, and the
sailor ran into the middle of Sixteenth
street DR. Wheeler followed him up and
caught his eve. The doctor is slight of
build, and the bluejackct, who belonged
to the Brooklyn, was nearly feet tail and
had muscles like iron.
The surgeon followed the man with his
magnetic eye. Tho sailor gaZed into the

about the mans head. The sailor, with
his eyes in1eEtly fixed upon the physician ;
face, initiated the movements.
The doctor stepped to one side, and the
jackie followed him.
Turn in. said the doctor, leading the
WY toward the ambulance and going
through motions similar 10 those of sling
ing hammock.
The sailor followed him. The walk of
the sailor grew little unsteady, and he
lurched against post. This distracted
his attention from the hypnotic eye 1t
acted much like swapping the finger and
the shrill wake up" of the stage Sven

Having lost his view OF the doctors
face, the subject partly recovered his
senses. He started to run. DIR. Wheeler
jumped upon him and bore him to the
Garth. The sailor struggled q little, and
then the doctcr again made strange and
weird passes. The sailor was helpless. He

wonderful when we consider that the | Uni-ed States was as UnpTeDaTed for the grim realities of war. in the mum bers of it's army, as it is possible to l conceive; that q volunteer force CT 250, 1 GOO volunteers was swiftly called into existence, 10 supplement the regulars, who numbered lsss than 25,000; that this great army was speedily disci- Iplined, equipped and made ready for service; that only 113 days elapsed from the declaration of war until the
 public enemy sued for peace; that our victories were won by these troops in fields 12,000 miles apart.
 These are facts thas go Lar to con- fute the superficial and ignorant critics of the war They make splendid rec ord Cf results acconlp piished that shine most glOriously in the face of accusa- tions, recrImin2fiCn and personal rival ries Of leaders. Of the controversies betWSen officers Of high rank, of the inevitable defects in the quartermas- ter and commissaTy bureaus, of the ad- mitted faults in the medical corps, it is not necessary now to speak. It is the results that count, ard after the Amer ican people have studied Secretary AL gers summary of these results, they will be ready to enter cordially into a consideration Of how to avert in the fu- tura the evils thai- were sequ6nC upon our unpTeparedness for war
 The war secretary's Teconmenda- tiCns for the future will be scrutinized at home and abroad with keen eyes. He asks that the regular army be in creased to 100, 1000 men, with the neces- sary officers. He advises, however, shat a part of this larger regular army be recruited from the population of our new possessions. This is a recom- mendation most wise. It is in the line Of the British policy Of rule in India The other feature of Secretary Alger's forward outlook that will attract most attention is that a railway be buill from end to end Of Cuba. The purpose of this is tw0-fold. Such a task of con structiOn will al once give employment to thousands Of men who have been un- settled in habit ard disturbed in their method of life because of the war The completion Of such railway, with ra- diating spurs, would immensely stim, ulate agricultural production and WOult aid the development Of regions whose virgin resources are yet intact.
 The estimates fer the war depart ment are subject for future considera- ton and for debate in detail. Buc it is to be kept in mind that if the new mil i-ary budget looks large, it is to be de frayad cut Of new sources Of public revenue and will not be burden upon domestic finance.
