What People Eat.

The ancient IsraeliteS ate locusts.
fried in oil, apu many modern travellers
in Africa have pronounced Well-cooKeo
locusts to be both succulent and nour-
ishing, with something Of the taste OF
boiled eggs. The old great philosopher,
Socrates, who knew several Things,
considered a dish of well-cooked grass
hoppers to be more toothsome than
quail on toast, and the French army IN
Algiers found that grasshoppers, SIM
ply boiled in salt water, were not only
good eating, but valuable addition to
army diet, and the old campalgners
carried the custom back home with
them, SO that today grasshoppers are
valued in many French provinces as
an article of food. In POitlefs, France
the children catch grasshoppers IN the
fields and eat their legs raw. Inc
French ron vivant enjoys his dish OF
snails and in many French country DIS
tricts a cricket called the cockchafer Is
regarded as excellent food. In fact a
Iesolution once offered in the french
senate, TO provide funds for the de-
struction of the cockchafer because OF
its injury to vegetation in certain sea
sons, met with strong opposition from
many learned senators because OF its
value to the people as food product.
The palm worm of India, white, Oily
insect, about three inches in length, is
considered a delicacy by the natives
whether eaten raw or cooked in varl-
Gus ways 1t is sometimes united with
flour and made ;rCo cakes, or its oil Is
extracted and USED as the base of gravy
and sauces as al. appetizer with other
food products. The white ant of India
and Africa, fried in butter, is also
choice article ~ rood. In Australia the
larvae of the horned caterpillar are
regularly sought for food. They are
found in decaying trees and have {
value and flavor according to the spe
cies of tree they have been taken from
The natives eat them raw, but thu
civilized tribes prefer them fried. W.
can imagine the lady of the family
with her market basket, dickering 70
her fayorite brand of caterpillar eggs

begin Work in Earnest.

Wbrk has actually commenced on
the big drainage canal of Mud lake, by
which the waters of that lake are TO be
drained into Bear River, thence to flow
to The big canals of Cache valley and
tbe canal will be 100 feet wide at the
bottom and about five feet deep The
enormous width is made necessary by
reason of the fact that only small fall
k,an be had, therefore the canal cannot
be made very deep.
The stakes for the work were set a
few days ago. and John J. Jones has
several teams at work on the proposed
canal. The enterprise will cost a
great sum Of money, but it seems to be
the ONLY salvation of the northern Utah

Killing en- the PineYs.

Word comes from the Piney country
that serious clash has occurred in that
section between cattle and sheep owners,
DIS a result of which one man was killed
and several wounded. Something like
100 head OF sheep were slain. -
In that countrg.-~tha.-.saattle~ owners
have maintained, for several years, %
dead line over which no sheep weie
allowed 10 pass and several owners OF
the woolly tribe have from time to time
attempted to go oyer this line, but the
effort has always wound up disastrionsly
for them. It seems that more deter
mined effort was TO be made this year
than usual, with the resnlf above noted.
1t is not likely that the trouble has
ended yet, for both sides are determined.
1t Is said such perfect organization
exists among the cattlemen and ranchers
that 100 armed men can be brought to-
gether on few hours notice

the upper air. which favored the

something to do in helping to give
