"COMMUNITY OF INTEREST"
Some of the Effects of the Great Rail-
road Changes Which Are Occurring.

road Changes Which Are Occurring.
Community of Interest" seems to be
the watchword among the great rail-
road corporations, nowadays, and GER
tain persons who are apt to decide
upon topics of general interest, especi-
ally new ones, without thinking upon
the facts, have supposed that this
meant an arrangement of interest only
TO the. railway companies participating
in the deals, traffic arrangements,
leases, ETC., which show in the stock
transactions and engage the thought
and ability Of traffic and passenger
agents. 1t is undoubtedly the financial
interest of the corporations which
moves their officers to enter into con-
tracts, but the consideration OF this
topic necessarily includes that OF the
convenience, comfort and attractions
which they can offer to their patrons.
If competition be less intense. and rate
wars be relegated to the dead past,
it means that more attention will be
paid to those inducements which will
bring business to up-to-date lines OF
transportation.
An instance of the early profit of the
public is most worthy of mention. I'm
der the plan of arrangements known
as Community of Interest" very close
relations have been established by the
Missouri Pacific System with the Den
yer and Rio Grande railway, the Rio
Grande Western Railway and the
Southern Pacific Railway and other
lines diverging from junction points.
So that now, for the first time in the
railway history of the country, a pas
senger may take train at ST. Louis and
remain therein until he has reached
San Francisco. The route is one of the
most popular because of its great
scenic beauty, and because it gives the
traveller the benefit Of variety of al
titude and climate, taking him across
the smiling plains of Kansas into the
wonderful canyons of Colorado, and
through her most noted mining locali-
ties, and by the great inland salt sea,
where great religious organization
has builded a city of magnifcence in
an oasis Of the desert, and whose po-

spite of the objections of the concen-
trated power of the United States and
in the face of all the obstacles which
have ever, from the dawn of Christi
anity, contended against its establish
ment by any sect or creed.
These places are of great interest to
the traveller of today, and since they
may be visited with such ease in the
magnificent trains of this monster sys-
tenn Of railway, the tide of tourist traf-
fic is being turned to them by natural
selection. The Missouri Pacific and
the Rio Grande reach al! points in
Colorado, Utah and the West, and thus
Community of Interest" among the
railroads already benefits the public in
such an everyday way as to convince
the thoughtless person that he must
revise his hasty judgment.

She Was Too Kind

There is one young woman living at
L'Anse. Mich, whose benevolent dis
position received a severe shock last
Sunday evening. She was at church
and sat directly behind a tall, WELL
dressed stranger, with a travelling hang
ing to his collar. Being one of those
generous-hearted, whole-souled girls
who grow up to be motherly old ladies,
a friend to everybody in town, she
thought how glad she would be If some
kind-hearted girl would do as much
for her father were he to go to church
with raveling hanging down his back,
so when the audience rose for the first
hymn she concluded to pick ii OF.
Carefully raising her hand, she gave q
little twitch, but it was longer than
she supposed. and foot or more ap-
peared. Setting her teeth, she gave Q
pull and about a yard of that horrible
thread hung down his back. This was
getting embarrassing, but determined,
she gave 1t another yank and discov-
cred that she was unraveling his un-
dershirt. Her discontinue was so
painful that chloroform would not
have alleviated her sufferings nor q
pint Of powder hidden her bushes
when the gentleman turned with an
inQuirjng look to see what was tickling
his neck.

USING INSECTS FOR FOOD.
French Entomologist Has Tasted Sew
oral Hundred of Species.


A French entomologist, NJ. Dasin,
recommends insects as an article of
food. He speaks with authority, hav-
ing not only read through the whole
literature of insect eating, but having
himself tasted several hundreds of
species raw, boiled, fried, broiled.
roasted and haShed. He has even
eaten spiders prepared according to
the following recipe. Take plump
spider. remove the legs and skin. Rub
over with butter and swallow" How
ever, he does not recommend them,
but this may be prejudice on his part.
He states two objections to spiders.
They are not insects and they feed on
animal food. Cockroaches are a foun-
dation for a delicious soup. NJ. Dagin
follows the recipe given by Sentor
Testelin in speech delivered in the
senate on February IL, 1878: Pound
your cockroaches into a mortar; put
in a sieve, and pour in boiling water or
beef stock" Connoisseurs prefer this
to the real bisque. NJ. Wilfrid de Fon-
vielle, the French scientist, prefers the
cockroaches in the larval state. The
perfect insect may be shelled and eaten
like shrimp; that way DR.. CASTER,
member Of the National assembly Of
1S4S, used to eat them. Caterpillars
are light food of easy digestion. Not
only African and American native
races, but Frenchmen appreciate them.
NJ. de Lalande, astronomer, had dinner
every Saturday with the zoologist,
Quatremere d'Isjonvalle. Madame
d'Isjonvalle, who knew his taste, col
lected in the afternoon all the cater
pillars she could find in her garden
and served them on a plate to her
guest. The most popular insect food is
the locust. 1t is eaten fried, dried In
the sun, ground in flour, broiled
(among the Bedum), boiled In milk "a
Morocco recipe), or fried and served
with rice as in Madagascar. The
Jesuit Father Cambou thinks that To-
Gust flour might become popular in
Europe as a condiment. Travellers
opinions on locusts differ. Amicis
finds they taste like shrimps, Niebuhr
like sardines, Livingstone like caviare.

SPORT IN WESTERN CANADA.
while the Farmers Grain Is Ripening

While the Farmers Grain Is Ripening
and His stock Growing Fat He May
Have Plenty of Shooting
There is probably no country ON the
American Continent where the life of
the farmer carries with it that assur-
ance Of comfort and success as does
Western Canada. Nor is there to be
found anywhere else such a pleasant
combination. Game abounds every
where and nowhere does it afford such
perfect amusement A noted sports
man writing of the favorite pastime
says: There is one particular spot
where | saw a man drop seventy NAL
lards one morning and bring them all
10 bag, too. for they dropped in open
water or on fat prairie. At the right
season of the year you can see black
lines and triangles cut sharply out
against the sky all round you. moving
very swiftly, and you begin to wonder
whether you have enough cartridges
to hold out. You can hear the prair:e
chicken growing like barn-door fowls,
and q little to the northeast is a bit
Of marshy ground cattle-poached and
dappled with cleaning pools, where
the snipe are nearly as thick as mos
Quitoes. A thin column of blue smoke
curling up in the distance shows you
where few wandering Indians nave
pitched their camp, but there is no
other indication of civilization in
sight Still, the neighborhood is we'll
settled, and short drive will bring
you to a farmhouse, where you can
buy the finest butter and the freshest
eggs for uncivilized prices.
A very short railway journey will
bring you to a country full of deer and
the lordly wap;ti the king of the deer
tribe the world over, and down on the
fat, boggy land by the lake shores the
moose will stand knee deep in water
on the summer evenings ready to lie
down when the flies get bothering.
All day you breathe the wild free air
Of the prairie, and at night you are
lulled to sleep by the surge and ripple
and splash of the waves on the beach,
broken now and then by the wierd
banshee-cry of strange waterfowl"

lands of Western Canada can be had

eminent, whose advertisement appears

FRUIT AS A FOOD.
Seasonable Changes In Food Supply Neo-

Seasonable Changes In Food Supply Neo-
essary for Good Health.
Taken in the morning, fruit is as
helpful to digestion as it is refreshing.
The newly awakened function finds in
it an object of such light labor as will
exercise without seriously taxing it's
energies, and tissues of the stomach
acquire at little cost a gain of nohrish-
ment which will sustain those energies
in later and most serious operations.
1t is an excellent plan with this object
in view, to add little bread to the
fruit eaten. While admitting its pos
session of these valuable qualities,
however, and while also agreeing with
those who maintain that in summer
when the body is, at all events, in
many cases, less actively employed
than usually-meat may be less, and
fruit and vegetables more freely used
as a food. We are not prepared to al
low that even then exclusively vege-
tartan regimen is that most generally
advisable. Meat provides us with a
means of obtaining albuminoid ma
terial. which is indispensable, in its
most easily assimilable form. 1t at
fords us in this material not only an
important constituent of tissue growth,
but potent excitant of the whole pro-
cess Of nutrition. 1t has. therefore, a
real definite and great value in the
ordinary diet of man, and the whole
someness of fruit combined with fari-
naceous food as an alternative dietary
is not so much an argument in favor
Of the vegetarian principle, as a proof
that seasonable changes in food supply
are helpful to the digestive processes
and to nutritive changes in the tissues
generally.
