I Der you are to use the room four years
so you can afford to be little extrava-
CANT. You don't need very many things,
and good deal you can bring from
home. You can wait for some Of your
pictures and cushions and ornaments. 1t
is pleasure to add something every
year. and you don't want to be crowded
at the end. But get what you need for
comfort. Above all, get rid of the col
lege furniture as quickly as you can.
This chair is all I have left, except the
bureau behind the screen. If l gould
have afforded 1t, I would have had a
chiffonier or a chest of drawers, and
good mirror instead of the pictures over
the bookcase. good many girls do
something of that sort
"How would you dress?"
II keep q washbowl and pitcher for
emergencies on shelf In the closet,
but ordinarily I go down the hall to
the bathroom, just as I would at home,
1 dress behind the screen, but the girls
who do away with their bureaus get on
very we'll. When you live in single
room, you have to get used to putting
your clothes and toilet articles away as
soon as you are done using them, and
little extra putting away makes no diff
ference"
Perhaps I can have room like this

father said he would give me money

thought just college and college life
would be enough the first year"

EAT LOCUsTs.
How the PassamaQ uoddy Indians
Turn the Pests to Account.


Turn the Pests to Account.
New York Sun.
The migratory locust, which occasional
ly eats UP the crops of Kansas and Ne
braska, is not a resident of Maine In
its place are two leather-winged species
that commit nearly as much damage. One
variety comes in June and stays until
October. The other and more dreaded
sort matches out late In May and makes
little trouble until after laying when it's
new wings are completed and 1t goes
sailing across the landscape under spin
maker and mainsail The farmers throw
most Of their bad words at this latter
species 1t is a russet-brown insect about
three inches long. having four short legs
| for walking purposes and two long mus
cular legs which are used in leaping. 1t
has four wide and powerful wings, two
inside as soft and sheeny as Watered silk,
and two cover wings which are as tough
| as tanned sheepskin From the hour it
is Matched until it perishes from frost or
is eaten up by one of its many foes,
Maine locust will eat about four times its
own weight In green stuff every day. The
PaSSamaQuoddy Indians, who live on Pc
ter Dana's point, preserve bushels of To-
Gusts for winter consumption. 1t is an
old custom which the tribe has observed
for centuries. The big locusts are caught
by the squaws and children and plunged
for a few minutes in hot water, so that
the legs and wings can be pulled off
easily.
After this the long, coffin-like bodies are
sailed and packed in skin bottles or
| earthen jars, when melted deer tdlloW or
| bears grease is poured upon the mass
| and allowed to cool Prepared in this
way locust pemmican will keep for years.
| 1t is rather too fat for civilized tastes,
| but very nutritious, and as the Indians
| like it better than any of the canned stuff
| they can get at the stores they continue
| to follow the habits Of their ancestors.
| Since the European fryingpan has found
| it's way to the Wigwam several Indian
| families fry locusts in batter of eggs
| and Indian meal or cracker crumbs, pur-
| suing the same methods the hotel cooks
| 90 with clans and oysters. When care
| has been taken to remove all the legs
| and wings, fat locusts fried in batter
| make palatable and nouriShing dish.
| Indians who are too poor or too lazy TO
| get the needful fat for the pemmlcan dry
| the bodies Ct lCcust5 in the sun and pound
| them to powder in rude-stone mortars.
| 1t is then sifted through a coarse cloth
| and stored in Ee gs and boxes until want
| ed. The manner of cooking locust flour
is very simple. 1t is mixed up with hot
| water and melted fat and placed in
/ deep pan to be cooked over a slow fire.
| When thoroughly done grasshopper bread
| is as hard and nearly as dark as asphalt.
A loaf of this bread three inches deep and
six inches lCare will last an Indian two
| days Il would last an average white
! man much longer
