The Filipinos in Manila have been
having an unexpected feast. 1t came
to them like the mamma to the Israeli
ties, being furnished by swarm of To-
Gusts, which recently few over the
city. To these people the locusts are a
great delicacy. The insects are served
dry or in a potpourri They are also
made into pies and cakes, and in some
instances ground into powder and
STEPPED in liquid so as to make n bev-
erage.. At times catching the insects
becomes very profitable business. In
Manila and the other large cities they
sell at 50 a sack, gold. These sacks
hold about a bushel. When dried, the
locust can be kept indefinitely. The
natives never eat the grasshoppers
green, but they eat them in every form,
dried or cooked. They even carry them
in their pockets and eat them as they
would candies and other CONNECTIONS.
When dried the locust is nice and crisp,
and tastes something like gingersnaps.
Some confectioners dress the grasshop-

occasionally with chocolate trimmings

Suppose everyone Of them should
pay up?"
THAT would be fine?"
ooh, 1t would, would it? What would
you do for living If everybody paid
promptly?"
The collector turned the thought over

Centerboard Well Was Deep.

There was new young man on
board. He didn't seem to have much
to say about the management of the
boat, but he wore a lovely yachting
suit. The girls were very much I'M
pressed. 1t seemed to give them a
sense of protection just to sit near
him. One blue-eyed girl was heard to
say to him: Il am not the least bit
afraid when there are so many good
sailors aboard You know all about
sailing, don't your"
mot quite" he answered modestly.
Just then the captain called to him:
Barry, take the pail and fill up the
centerboard we'll"
Cheerfully the young man went to
work and the girls stared.
How many does it take?" he asked
as he emptied the sixth pail then he
added; what are you lubbers laugh
ing at?'
Then the girls realized that 1t was
the first time the man in the lovely
yachting suit had ever been on a sail

cooperative association have a good

the fuel and meat, the pupils who can
afford it pay from two to four sous a
month. In most of the cities of
France, the pupils of the public schools
are now furnished with their MONDAY

Samuel Hill, who has recently re-

Remnants thrilling and interesting mar
ratives about the treatment of Russian
exiles were gross exaggerations. MI
Hill visited Siberian prisons and found
the sleeping quarters good and the food
wholesome. The Russians seem to be

they do not erect series Of Palmer
houses for their convicts, it Is quite
certain that they treat them fully as

this reason, when Mr.. KEENAN, returned

eminent Of that country to leave on
short notice. He knew enough to do
this. The ST. Petersburg Newsletteroff-

The returns Of the census of the Do
minion of Canada are disappointing to
Canadians who have been expecting
large results from the various and cost
ly efforts which have been made to at
tract immigrants and to keep the peo-
pie Of the Dominion at home. The
complete returns show an increase OF
only sos, G44, or 1916 per cent, during
the last ten years. The increase dur
ing the next preceding decade was
11.16 per cent, and during the decade
ending In 1881 1897 per cent. The
hopeful Canadians professed to believe
that the returns would show greater
ratio of increase even than that of the
decade 1871 to 1891 whereas 1t was in
fact less than In the decade 1881 to
1891. Perhaps they will now begin to
yield to the conviction that the attrac-
tons of the United States are greater
than those Of British North America.
shows an increase of about 13,50O,00O
or Pig per cent, during the decade end
ing that year. The absolute increase
in this country was more than twenty
six times as great as that in Canada,
while the percentage of increase was
more than twice as great. Prior to 1885
our custom house returns showed an
annual immigration of from 10000 to
100000 or more from Canada. The
Canadians complained that these fig
ures represented transients for the
most part-Canadian workmen enter
ing this country for employment during
n portion of each year and then return
ing to Canada. Either because he be-
lieved this claim to be well founded or
for some other reason, the Secretary of
the Treasury directed that the reports
of immigrants from Canada be discon-
tinued, and for ten years the returns
did not show any immigrants from
there, though it was well known that
many immigrants from Europe landed
in Canada and proceeded Immediately
or after an interval to the United
States. Evidently the Canadians have
counted all these as immigrants re-
naming in Canada, and they seem to
have adhered to the transient assump-
ton In making their estimates. Hence
their disappointment. They may now
be prepared to believe that many of
their people who seek employment in
this country remain here. Otherwise
they will hardly be able to account for
the very small increase of only little
more than 2la per cent In Ontario, their
most populous province. Probably the
reasons for the more rapid growth of
the United States are climatic and in.
dustrial rather than political.
