The Biblical record that John the
Baptist was fed upon 1oousts and

that locust are not on1v fit for human
food. but are IN fact. luxury. He
proposes to feast his friends upon To-
Gust soup, broi1ed and fried locust.
stewed locust and locusts served in
pies and otherwise.
There Is indisputable evidence that
the locust is not only edible, but in
some parts of the world considered a
dish calculated to please the most
exacting epicure. In France locusts
are served with kidneys and with
sweetbreads. and in various forms are
considered by the French a most de-
llghtful dish.
Prof. Philip Il. Uhier. provost of
the Peabody Institute. said that he
bad eaten locust soup and had tasted
locusts, both fried and broiled.
There is. . said DIR. Uh1er. "verv
little taste to the locusts. 1t is like
eating the soft shel1yof crab. There
is no more flavor TO the locust than
there is to the shrimp and there is
almost no nourishment ut all to it,
because OF the lack ofsmeat. On the
locust that we have here, or the CT
cada. which is its proper namu and
title. there il absolutely no meat at
all. Theseis nothing to it but the
she'll, and tits j most impossible to
derive nonrishment from it, no matter
how it is cooked or served.
''The locust which.John the Bap-
fist fed upon. was entirely different

CUTOFF AFFECTS CEDAR RAPIDS.
Cedar Rapids Gazette Sees No Harm
in Loss of Freight Traffic.

Rapid progress is being made on the
grade for the new Milwaukee cutoff
southwest of Muscatine. Upon the
completion of this piece of track it will
form part of the main line of the Mil
waukee to Kansas City and the
through Kansas City trains from Chi
cago will be run via Davenport and
Muscatine instead of through Cedar
Rapids as is the present arrangement.
Nevertheless a good passenger and
Pullman service will be maintained be-
tween Cedar Rapids and Kansas City
and with points east. 1t is not believ
ed that the division of a large per cent
of the Milwaukee's Kansas City and
southwestern business will be inimica
to the interests of the city. That a
big share of the through freight traffic
will be positive advantage to Cedar
Rapids. 1t will relieve the oftimes
congested condition of Fourth street
The long freight trains that now pass
through the city and SO frequently
block the street crossings will pass ov-
er the cutoff. 1t is understood among
local officials that the train service to
be placed on this new Kansas City
route when completed will be of the
finest character and will be duplicate
of the Milwaukee's Pioneer Limited be-
tween Chicago and st. Paul, which is
known as the velvet train
1t is hoped to finish the new stretch
of track from Muscatine to Ottumwa,
where it intersects the line out of Ce-
dar Rapids, before the year closes.
The steam shovel work on the grade is
not all finished yet, but the work done
with the wheel scrapers has been en-
ccuraging and indicates an early full
| fillment of all the contracts and com
pletion of the line. Work is now go.
ing along promisingly and there is ev,
cry probability of an excellent sum,
mer's work being done. Material is
fast being delivered and there will be
no trouble encountered on that score
when the actual building of the road
begins.--Cedar Rapids Gazette.

Something About a Check Often Used
by Sharpers.

Doubtless many readers of the Cou-
rier have never seen a note such as
is used by sharpers and confidence
men to entrap the unwary. Here is a
form which is often used for the pur-
pose, and frequently works like a
charm. The note is an innocent
enough looking instrument, when the
farmer signs it. merely supposing that
he is agreeing to pay small sum for
the privilege of selling some quick
selling patent device, at a good profit
when he has sold enough to amount to
stipulated sum of money. He signs
it in good faith and proceeds to engage
as an agent for the article to be sold
but is caused some uneasiness in a few
days when he receives notice that
some bank, perhaps in neighboring
town, holds his note for vastly great
er amount:
