QUEER INSECT MENU.
Ants, Grasshoppers and Worms
 That Are Good to Eat.
French Naturalist Thinks They Would Be Considered Dainties If We Could Only Overcome the
 Prejudice of Ages.

NJ. Daguin, distinguished French naturalist, calls attention to the fact that insects are among the most whole some and harmless of creatures to eat, because they live almost exclusively on vegetable food. He condemns crus- taceans, headed by the lobster, because they live upon dead things.
 M Daguin is so impressed by the value of good insects as food, says the Chi cago American, that he has compiled book on the subject, telling about the ancient and modern races who have fattened themselves on these humble crea lures.
 A great many savage races to-day re- gard insects as great delicacy, and quite number of individuals in Flu rope have taken the same view. Dr. Gastier, distinguished deputy, de- lighted to eat May bugs, which he skinned like shrimps. When spring came one could not make him more welcome present than a box of live May bugs. It seems that from time immemorial the insects of the coleop- terra family have been greatly relished. Aelianus remarks that "the king of the Indians does not eat the fruit of the palm tree like Greeks, but he regales himself on worm that grows in the in terior of the tree"
 This worm, we'll known to natural. ists, is the grub of sort of weevil. It is white, very fat and grows about three inches long. It is still eaten in India, where it is known as the palm worm.
 The same worm is found in the West Indies, and, according to the natural ist, Labat, it is considered great deli cacy there. It is eaten raw, roasted or in cake. Sometimes the natives fry out the fat, which is considered the most delicious relish in the country. The Spaniards call them gusanos.
 In South Carolina, says M. Daguin, the natives hunt the chrysalises of

USE OF PRIVATE CARS.
Many Handsome Railway Coaches Are Now Owned by Men Not
 MiIIfOnaires.

Private railway cars have always been associated in the popular mind with great wealth, but plan has been developed which makes it possible for even a vaudeville actor or business man in ordinary circumstance or any, body else reasonably we'll to do, who wishes to make display or to enjoy the luxury of travel, to own private car built according to his own speci- fications, according to the World's Work. 5
 A car-reftting company in New York city buys old Pullman coaches, tears the inside furnishings out and refits them according to the wishes of its customers. Whatever kind of private car a man may wish he may order parlors, handsomely carpeted, sitting rooms, dining rooms, sleeping com partments, smoking rooms-all with equipment more or less perfect ac- cording as the price. And cars are reftted in this way and sold for prices varying from $1,500 to $15,O00.
 Very handsome and serviceable cars have been built from the old 'scasta- ways" and the man of moderate means can travel privately and comfortably in home of his own. It is an interest ing evidence of American manufactur- ing thrift and of the growth of wealth.

A CCORDING to her established GUS A tom, Miss Selina Snowbell went out upon her front porch to get a looked, before beginning her break fast preparations
 It was a crystal morning in early June, and a brisk breeze, the trailed- of end of an overnight gale Tapped Miss Selina's gingham gown, and would have tossed her tresses, had they not been wound up tightly in the shape of good-sized biscuit, and spiked in place by several large hair pins. Though spare of flesh, Miss Selina was not bony; furthermore, ahe was erect as a maple, and as neat and bright as new calico.
 What wind!" she protested, as her apron sailed up like a kite; 'it must have showered in the night, too; everything's dripping and if there ain't my sweet honeysuckle vine blown as flat as a founder"
 Miss Selina punched up her skirt fn one hand, and skipped nimb1y aown her front steps, mincing ginger ly on the tips of her neat toes through the wet grass, to where the vine had been torn loose from it's trellis, and lay trailing on the ground
 Nothing but fiimsy little picket fence separated Miss Selina's front yard from her neighbours, and on the other side of it her neighbor was standing, basking in the sunshine that came tumbling over the wet world, making all the shrubs and grass tips where the rain beads hung look as if they had been powdered with little diamond stars.
 Miss Selina half whirled about to- wards her steps, then spun back

THE KING KNOWS A HEAP.
rnited States Ambassador to Italy Calls on ItnIy's Ruler and Finds
 Him Wonderfully Intelligent.

George V. l.. Meyer, United States ambassador to Italy, stayed a few days in London before sailing for Boston. To a representative of the press MT. Meyer said:
 Before leaving Rome had an hours audience with the king. Not only did he express the most cordial friendship toward the United States, but he sur prised me by his intimate knowledge of our institutions. The conversation happened to turn to comparison of the United States constitution with those of other countries, and I soon found that the king knew almost as much about ours as do myself. He is a wonderfully intelligent sovereign.
 Naturally, I cannot say much about the potentiality' or the likelihood of the continua tion of the triple alliance. believe the treaty expired in 1903, and then it will be time enough to talk.
 "Signor Zanardelli (the premier) has certainly surprised everyone by his outspoken utterances. He appears to have met the political crisis with re- markable ability. The relations be- tween the vatican and the quirinal con tlnue as they have done for 30 years. The last time I saw the pope he looked wonderfully well.
 "The question of the Philippines ex- cites keen interest in Rome. Archbish- op pChapelle, who believe, is still there has given the vatican the benefit of his extended experience in those islands, and doubtless has done much to ex- plain the religious questions which pug gle the Catholic authorities. Arch bishop Chappelle will return to New Orleans in about month"
 Reverting to American business pros poets, Mir. Meyer said:
 "The home coalinterests are making strenuous efforts to get their product into Italian ports with apparently fair chance of success, which are now little improved by Great Britain's inn position of a coal tax though American coal is still greatly handicapped by a lack of merchant marine"

QUEER CATS IN MAINE.
One Tabby That Has Acquired the Hot Water Habit-Profit in
 Raising Coon Cats.

The cats of Maine have been making new records for queer doings lately. says an eastern paper. A Portland woman owns a striped tabby that cries for hot water and is not appeased un- til a saucer of water as hot as anyone could drink is poured out for her. The cat has been drinking hot water for six weeks, and seems to thrive upon it. How she acquired the habit no one knows.
 A Biddeford man has a two-legged cat that he raised from kitten. Tom is big and has beautiful black coat, but was born without fore paws. On the right shoulder small bone pro- trudes, and on the left there is small stub The cat walks erect and goes abont with ease, not seeming to mind his deformity.
 A Bar Harbor cat fancier says there is great profit in raising coon cats, so- called, if one has good luck to help out tireless industry in caring for the ami mals, but that it does not pay to att tempt to raise them on large scale. Until year old coon cats are very deli cate and subject to many diseases, such as pneumonia, fits, spasms and dysentery, and more die than survive. Seal brown and pure white cats are most prized, and the man who can raise to maturity any considerable number of these colors is sure of big profits.

wasps, which they consider an exquis- ite dish. The natives of Guiana eat the wasps.
 Many ants, like bees, are honey bear CTS. These insects abound in Mexico. Rev. Father Cook has written an inter esting study of one species of these ants abounding in that part of Colo rado known as the Garden of the Gods. This ant is known as Myrmecocystus melliger. Certain individuals develop an abdomen as large asa grape. These are the honey bearers. The Indians de- vour these insects eagerly.
 The termite, commonly known as the white ant, is cooked and eaten with joy by the people of Guiana. This is the most destructive of all the ants. It is not, strictly speaking, an ant. Maj. Serpa Pinto records the love of certain South African tribes for ants as diet. Sir Samuel Baker, governor of Equa- torial Africa, mentions that he tried fried white ants and found them very good.
 Prof. Koenig considers white ants very strengthening nourishment, but exciting and should be used with eau ton.
 Grasshoppers, sacred to the ancient muses, have long been favorite food. Aristotle tells us that the Greeks ate many varieties of grasshoppers.
 Prince Henry of Orleans relates that along the banks of the Mekong river, in Siam. young women hunt water grasshoppers, which they afterward sell i1 the market.
 Locdsts are as mnch relised as grass hoppers. The plague of locIsts men, toned in the Bible doubtless consists of edible insects, but there were more of them than the Egyptians could di- gest at one time.
 The Arabs of the region where the children of Israel talried so long still gorge themselves with locusts. Dio- dorus Siculus informs us that the Ethi- opians pot them and preserve their locusts with saltpetre.
 Many species of flies of the same family as our conimcn house fly are eaten. David Livingstone says that the people along the Congo make cakes out of small flies. They tasted to him like caviar.
 The Filipinos eat water beetles and worms, nor to mention bats, which happen not to be insects.
