How Certain Malays Obtain q Curl
Gus Delicacy.
Certain natives of the Malay peninsu-
la catch cicadas and eat them and that
as a considerable luxury. To eat a CT
cada seems distinctly curious, says the
London Daily Mail, when we reflect
that this insect is in reality glorified
member of that insect group which
contains as it's most prominent repre-
sentative the diminutive and swarthy
creature which shall be nameless here
for evermore.
The way in which the Siamese pro-
ceeds was related to the Geological So
ciety the other day by a naturalist who
has spent some time in the Malay pen
insula observing men as well as in
sects. At night. when these insects fly,
the native sallies forth armed with a
torch and but little raiment. The torch
is deposited in a convenient place, and
the swarm of natives proceed to clap
their hands in perfectly regular fash
ion so as to produce a considerable
sound.
1t is the combination of light and
sound that allures the cicada from it's
haunts to its destruction. The insects
come also in swarms and settle upon
the bodies of the applauding natives.
whence they are easily detached, pre-
served, cooked and eaten.
The Greek sage remarked that happy
are the cicadas in that they have voice
less wives. 1t is apparently the lady
cicadas who are attracted by what
they fondly believe to be the love cry
of the male and are thus lured to their
fate by that most dangerous of pas

Victoria and Dickens,

Literary celebrities, as rule, were
not those who attained to any high
degree of personal favor at the hands
of Queen Victoria. but she paid Charles
Dickens Il delicate compliment. Dick
ems, who, by the way. in his youthful
days was devoured by grand passion
for the youthful queen, was invited
when at the climax of his fame to
dine at Windsor castle. He was after
dinner presented by the queen with a
copy of her book ''Tour In the High
lands" and on the fly leaf was in
scribed in her own hand this sentence:
From the humblest to the most dis
tinguished author in England" The
queen afterward showed many favors
to Lord Tennyson, but even in making
him a peer of the realm she did not
bestow as great a compliment.

A few years ago the adulteration Of
food became so general as to cause
wide alarm, and crusade was insti-
|tuted against the practice which inn
periled the health of the nation. Leg
islatures were apprised of the dangers,
and stringent laws for the suppression
Of food adulteration were passed.
Great good was accomplished, but the
evil has not yet been entirely wiped
out, and the agitation must continue.
There must be wider spread of
knowledge regarding the food we eat
before the beginning of the end of the
practice of adulteration comes in sight.
