Locusts as Luxury for the Table.

Prof. Philip 3. Uhler. provost or the
Peabody Institute, Baltimore, says he has
eaten locust soup and has tasted locusts,
both fried and broiled.
s"There is" said DR.. Uhler, very little

the soft shell of a crab. There is no more
favor to the locust than there Is to the
shrimp and there Is almost no nourish-

other dishes, and they appear to enjoy
them immensely. ] cannot say that the

scene In the life of Caesar Borgia. A

FREDERICK THE GREAT.
Baron Steuben, and Our Revolution
ary Struggles.

Washington Times.
The agitation which has been aroused
by the Kaiser's proposed gift of a statue
of Frederick the Great to this country,
has brought out number of versions OF
the attitude of the Prusslan warrior To-
ward the young republic. Most OF these
tended to show that Frederick and the
ends toward which Frederick strove were
entirely incompatible with the spirit OF
America, and that a statue OF MN IN the
capital of a free country would De- 10
say the least, inappropriate.
Some of those who have been Wrltlng
upon the subject. however, declare that
Frederick was not only friend ana ad,
mirer of Washington, but an earnest ana
efficient helper in the struggle Wnlch
Washington headed, and that the Amer
lean people owe the Prussian King an
immense debt of gratitude.
From Prussia's secret archives Is cul!ed
the following from Frederick IL. TO MS
brother Henry:
