TiIlman and the Negro.

Senator Tillman of South Caro-
lima is a peculiar individual. The
last sensational ranceis, that the
theory of Prof. B. Z. Washington
Is dangerous to the South. Men like
Mr.. Alike Tillman should be perma-
nently retired because he is an i'm =
pediment to our modern civilization.
If the classics and higher education
are dangerous to the negro and indus
trial education will effect the white
man south, what is left for the ne
gro to do? Will Senator Tillman
please explain what is best for the
negro to learn so that he will not
disturb the equilibrium of the good
white people of the south? He
doesn't want him to vote; he ob-
iects to higher education and the
theory of Prof. Booker 7. Wash
ington is all wrong in his estima-
ton.
For the benefit Of Mr.. 1illman
The BgE viii suggest that
the negro intends to learn
everything thai the white man
learns aud inven. such things that
are impossible for tas white nan

wasps, which they consider an exquis-
ite dish. The natives of Guiana eat the
wasps.
Many ants, like bees, are honey bear
ers. 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
RADIO known as the Garden of the Gods.
This ant is known as Myrmecocystus
melliger. Certain individuals develop
an abdomen a 5 large as grape. These
are the honey bearers. The Indians de-
your 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. 1t is
not, strictly speaking, an ant. Maj
Serpa Piato records the love of certain
South African tribes for ants as a 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 a
very strengthening noUrishment, but
exciting and should be used with eau
ton.
GraSShoppers, sacred 20 the ancient
muses., have long heen a favorite food.
Aristotle tells US that the Greeks ate
many varieties of grasshopRers.
PrIucs Henry of Orleans relates that
along the banks Of the Mekong river,
in Siam. young women hunt water
grasshoppers, which they afterward
sell in the market.
Locdsts are as much relised as grass
hoppers. The plague of IOcIsts men
toned in The Bible doubtless consists
of edible insects, bIt there were more
of them than The Egyptians could di-
gesT al one time.
The Arabs Of the reg on where the
children of Israel talTied 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 FilipiEos eat water beetles and
worms. nor to mention bats. which
happen not TO be insects.

The Jim Crew Car.

There Is a great deal ofagitation
going on throughout the country
about the jilA crow car law that has
been recently enacted by state leg
islatures. The negro should not
complain about this law, because
he IS responsible for its enactment.
The negro cIEnOt hope to be
placed upon an equal footing with
his more fortunate brethren be-
cause he is doing nothing to COM
mend or entitle him to such rec
guition that is accorded to the
white man. There are negroes
who become disguised with his
3rothers. And W y? l is be-
ause the majority of them will
not keep them selves clean nor do
they care what the condition of
their garments are when they en-
ter street Car or any other place.
The more cleanly aud re5pecta
negro must suffer because Of the
carelessness Of those who don't
care about their condition. All
negroes are not alike any more
than are all white people. An e1-
ample of the frOlics and antics of
the negro may be seen on the cars
that go to Chesapeake Beach
Junction. The noisy and dirty
negro AS well as the second class
white man will Oe seen in all their
glory. You will see among the
passengers the noisy whites and
blacks You will see refined whites
and black. You will see the ig-
norant whites as well as the litter
ate blacks. You will see the dirty
whites as we'll as the dirty blacks.
Notwithstanding. the dirty whites
az well rs the illIterate whites are
permitted to go to Chesapeake
Beach where the most refined and
highly educated blacks dare not
attempt to go. And why? Be-
cause the few llliterate and dirty
blacks have no regard for them
selves. This is why ''the I'm crow

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, a 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.
NJ. Daguinis ssoimpressedb by the value
of good insects as food, says the Chi
cago American, that he has compiled a
book on the subject, telling about the
ancient and modern races who have
fattened themselves on these humble
creatures.
A great many savage races to-day re-
gard Insects as a great delicacy, and
quite a number of individuals in Eu-
rope have taken the same view. DR..
CASTER, distinguished deputy, de-
lighted to eat May bugs, which he
skinned like shrimps. When spring
came one could not make him a more
welcome present than a box of live
May bugs. 1t 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
terror of the tree"
This worm, well known to natural
lists, is the grub of sort Of weevil. 1t
is white, very fat and grows about
three inches long. 1t is still eaten in
India, where il is known as the palm
worm.
The same worm is found in the West
Indies, ard, according to the natural
ist, Labat, it is considered a great deli
cacy there. 1t is eaten raw, roasted or
in a 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 NJ. Daguin,

THE WAYS OF WOMAN
Hotel Clerk Swears They Are Alb
sOlutely Inscrutable.
Tells of a Mistake lie Made About a
Female Guest Who Had Ordered
Nineteen Cocktails Within
sixty Minutes.

"The ways of woman?" repeated
the hotel clerk to a New York Sun
reporter. Yes, you get a good in
sight into them in a hotel" Then in
a lower tone, with touch of remin-
iscence in it, ne added: DO you
know, they are much like the ways
of Providence, inscrutable and past
finding out? And you are likely to
jump the wrong way in judging a
woman's motives. Now, I'll tell you
a story to illustrate that.
"The other day a well-groomed
woman drove up to the hotel in a
hanson. She was becomingly dressed
and looked city ,red. She was par
ticular to get a .oQd suite of rooms
and paid for thea il advance. / saw
to it that She WIS shown up to her
apartment and tlen gave no further
thought to her. She was unaceom-
panied.
"Seme time later my assistant re-
marked that the guest in AZ was do
ing a land-Office business at the bar,
but | paid no attention to his COM
ment, because it is my policy TO dis
courage any seeming familiarity be-
tween employees of the hotel and its
guests. But | violated my own rule
a few minutes later, when the very
excellent and discreet mixer Of
drinks of the house, who has been
in its employ for 20 years and has
privileges that are denied ordinary
barkeeps, came to the desk with an
apolOgetic air in his face and asked
for word with me.
What is it, Charles?' 1 said.
Excuse me, SIR he said, but l.
well, thought sir, as how I'd better
call your attention to the guest in

born streets, and when he received
his weekly stipend Saturday after
noon he decided to have a frolic in
the Desplaines river at Fourteenth
street McLain piled his clothes neat
ly beneath a sheltering tree, and there
and then, with one exulting, joyous
bound into the rivers arms he leaped.
When he came to the surface a stran-
ger was standing on the bank.
"Can you swim under water?" asked
the stranger.
Sure" said McLain.
"Show me how you do it," said the
stranger. I'll count while you are
under"
When McLain came TO the surface
the stranger was gone. He looked to
the bank where his clothes had been,
but no longer could he see the bright
CLINT of his garter buckle, and the
passionate gloss or his red hosiery
had faded away. SO had his tTOu-
sers, which contained the weekly sti-
pend.
McLain heard the merry voices of
the laborers as they trudged along
and he shouted for help. He shouted
nearly all the afternoon before he
found a man Who would lend him a
pair of trousers and an old coat. The
police say that tramps lie in wait
along the river for just such Oppor-

took a notion to set. As is usual IN
such cases persuasion was vain. ana
she held to her determination to rsiss
a family. A dozen eggs were given
her and she Matched out eight chicks
Of these she was very proud. About
two weeks ago a number of friends
from out of town visited the family
Unexpectedly. The problem of what,
TO have for dinner was a serious one
as it was Sunday and no groceries
we're open. Ii was suggested thar the
hen be killed, but the children were
not willing that the chickens should
be left to shift for themselves AZ so
tender an age.
The problem was solved by The bov
who suggested that the hen be killed
and the big feather duster be subst.
tuted for the hen. The duster was gus.
pended just above the floor in the cor.
ner of the kitchen, and the chickens
placed under it in a box.
There they have remained ever since
and are growing rapidly. They seem
to take kindly 10 the innovation, and
at the first sign of danger they all re-.
treat to the duster, nesting among the
feathers.

a sound thrashing, which he would
have accomplished only for the girls
interference. The father then ordered
the girl into the house, and the neigh
bors say punished her severely with a
strap.
Young Johnston, who had gone
home, heard of this, and, enlisting the
help of his brother, started toward the
Dempsey household. After entering
the house the girls father and the two
Johnston boys discussed the matter
warmly, and the lover declared he did
not care how much Dempsey beat him,
but he must not whipthe girl. Finally
the two brothers seized Dempsey and
carried him struggling to the barn,
securely bound him with ropes and
straps in a stan and then administered
to him the same kind of a beating with
straps that he was accused Of giving
his daughter.
Dempsey hoW.ed and danced with
pain. but finally begged for mercy and
promised not TO touch his daughter
