"One thing have found out since coming to the Philippines" writes a Kansas boy, and that is how to catch grasshoppers and prepare them for food. The Filipinos not only make grasshopper pies and cakes, but they pound them into powder and, sleeping them in water, drink 1t. "A There are sev- eral methods used by the natives for catching grasshoppers. The most ef fective is the net. This is a large but terfly net, arranged with netting placed over a hoop. and to the latter is fixed long handle. The native takes this handle. and, with the mouth of the net toward the grasshopDers, he rushes forth. bagging considerable numbers at time Then we have the paddle method, which consists in using a long stick, to the end of which is fixed a piece of flat wood about ten inches in diameter. If the grasshoppers pass over ones own property this method is used, for then all the grasshoppers killed by swinging this instrument through the clouds of grasshoppers as they pass over are dropped to the ground and can be picked up at leisure. Another method consists in exploding cartridges in the midst of the swarm After an effective explosion the ground is covered with them. But this is very expensive and is seldom used Grasshopper catching is profitable business in the Philippines. They sell at two dollars a sack. l never saw native eat green grasshopper, but have seen them eat the dried ones by the pocketful. The housewife in the Philippines takes considerable delight in placing a nice grasshopper pie before you. Great care is taken in preparing them SO that they do not lose any of their form"

Clearing and Unloading of Stock at
 Muhlfelder's Store.
 Muhlfelder, wholesale and retail mill liner on Chapel street, announces in to-days paper the opening of the July clearing and unloading sale of trimmed and untrimmed millinery, one of the most tempting sales ever presented in this city. For ten days the prices on everything will be cut to the quick, thus providing bargains in high class goods that are rarely if ever met. A special feature of this sale will be the sweep in ribbons, all fresh goods, in choicest colors and patterns, at prices which are simply phenomenal, being in many instances but one-third of for rner prices. The sacrifice is remarkable in many ways.
 The opportunities presented for hat buying are rarely equalled. As the fig ures in the advertisement show, the prices have been cut from one- half to two-thirds, and the display is fascinat- ing and attractive in every sense Fine values are offered in outing and sailor hats, trimmed and untrimmed hats flowers, fancy hats, duck caps, in short everything to be found in this large and we'll appointed store.

MORNING JOURNAL

cased in circlets of gold, set with pre-
 cious stones; every toe of each foot ringed also with flashing gems. The
 Moorlsh beauties wore strings of lus- trous pearls beginning with necklace
 of seed-pear!s, the rows increasing in size and length, until the final row.
 reaching below the waist was com- posed of pearls an inch long, the whole forming a solid breast-plate of incalcu- lable value. Diamonds, emeralds, ru-
 bies and sapphires sparkled on the
 head and all over the dress and the ef-
 feet was astonishing for it's brilliancy.
 The poor little bride, trembling with shyness and terror, made her vppear- ance shortly before midnight, having that evening left her home for the first time in her brief life of eleven years. A white bernouse completely covered her, and her face was yelled with a closely untitled hood. After being di- vested of these external wrappings by her future nother-in-law, who did the honors, she was laid on state bed, erected for the occasion in the middle of the room, and directly seemed to fall fast asleep. Then began the evening feast, A huge tray, brought in by at tendant negresses, was placed on a large jar, which served for a table. The forty or fifty guests-all women- gathered around, spreading their large scarves to serve as napkins. The first dish being handed to the mother-in- law, she dipped her jeweled fingers in it and helped herself; her example being followed by guest after guest as the tray went the rounds. Thus sixteen courses were disposed of before the bride was awakened from her pretend ed slumbers and allowed to eat. Mean- time the bridegroom, in another apart ment, entertained a select circle of his friends. Finally a peal of music an- nounces the bridegroom's approach with his male comrades; the negresses raise scream of portentious shrill- ness, and instantly every moslem face is shrouded in it's veil the mother alone being permitted to look on her son, who enters and takes his seat by her side Then the attendants bring up the painted and enameled bride, whom her husband now sees for the first time. If he does not like her looks, he is at lib- erty then and there to refuse her. It is said he rarely exercises this privilege, as to do so would be to draw upon him the wrath of all her lsinsmen, which would be appeased only with his mur- der. He rises, takes her hand and seats her between his mother and him. self This completes the marriage cer- and shortly afterwards the | frn I,A fno tive scene to their apartment. The | guests, no longer obliged to veil their l faces, continue their merriment until daybreak. For the whole of the follow ing week the bride is lat home' every | day to receive congratulations and | very tired, homesick and pathetic little | she looks.
