Pretty Lively Eating.

When one grows weary of the eternal
ices. blancmanges. charlottes and pud-
dings served to us year in and year out
for dessert. it is pleasant to hear of an
innovation. A travelled American re-
marked that she once had the felicity
of sitting down to a Japanese dinner at
which were served such dainties as
melons, ices, fruits and sea frogs. There
was in addition to these sweets COW
cred dish, into which. at the beginning
of the dinner, bottle of wine had been
poured.
When the sea frogs and other dainties
had been discussed, the cover Of this
dish was removed, and number OF
sandhoppers, hilariously intoxicated and
jumping about in the widest manner,
were presented to the gaze of the aston
ished American guests The lively des-
sert, SO the fair traveller says, wal
caught by the Japanese with little
bamboo sticks and eaten with great
gusto.
