In Praise of Insects as Food.

Admitting that it becomes argu-
mentatively impossible to eat a cut
let, humanity may still be saved from
the extremes of q vegetarian diet. A
French entomologist, NJ. Dagin, has
discovered q halfway house, which
he cordially recommends in the shape
of insect food. He speaks on the
subject with authority, having tasted
several hundred species of raw, boiled,
fried broiled. roasted and hashed in
sects." Regarding spiders as side
dish, he finds two objections-"they
are not insects, and they live on ami
NAL food" M. Dagins recipe-for cock
roach soup is as follows: Pound
your cockroaches in mortar; put in a
sieve and pour in boiling water or beef
stock. Connoisseurs prefer this to real
bisque.' The perfect insect, he con-
tinues, in most appetizing style, may
be shelled and eaten like shrimp.
Caterpillars are pronounced Light
food, of easy digestion, and may be
eaten "out of the hand,' raw II pre-
ferred. But the most popular insect
food Of all is locust flour, which the
Bedouins take boiled in milk or fried
and served with rice. We remember a
certain "Garibaldi biscuit" which al
ways suggested an inside layer Of
squashed flies.

The First Recorded yacht Race.

What is believed to be the earliest of
recorded yacht races took place IN
1861. John Evelyn, in his diary, men
tions that he sailed with his majesty,
Charles H., in one of his pleasure
boats or yachts, vessels not known
among us until the Dutch East Indie
company presented that curious piece
to the king, being very excellent sail
ing vessels. It was on a match be-
tween this and his other new boat"
continues Evelyn, built frigatelike,
and one of the Duke OF York's, the
wages G100, and the race from Green
wich to Gravesend and back. The
king lost it going down, the wind be-
ing contrary, but saved stakes in re-
turning" The word yacht" is itself
Dutch, but the vessels which the
merry monarch sailed were little sim
liar to the racers of the present day.

races, but the details are very
meager.-London Shipping World.

English Want to See Maude Adams

Unless Maude Adams is careful,
English playgoers will begin to believe
that she is a myth. For the last two
years it mas been reported from time

to be untrue. a few weeks ago it was
announced with much positiveness
that the 'consummate little genius" as
John Hare described her on his return
from America, would appear in Lon
don in Quality Street" during the
coronation, but now that report has
been contradicted.

SHE LOST NOTHING.
Omission In tho Wedding Service That


Didn't Count
A distinguished naval officer was
telling this story on himself the other
evening to gathering of his friends.
AT the time of his marriage he had
been through the civil war and had
had many narrowing experiences
aboard ship, through all of which he
kept his courage and remained as
calm as a brave man should. AS the
time for the ceremony came on, how
ever, his calmness gradually gave way.
At the altar, amid the blaze of brass
buttons and gold lace marking the
full naval wedding, the officer was all
but stampeded, and what went on
there seemed very much mixed to him.
Fearing the excitement of the moment
would temporarily take him off his
feet, the officer had learned the mar
riage ceremony letter perfect, as he
thought, and he remembered repeating
the words after the minister in a me-
chanical sort of way.
After the ceremony was all over and
all was serene again, including the Of
ficer's state of mind, the kindly cler-
gyman came up and touched him on
the shoulder.
AoA heie oiu Aiie'h' he saiu, you
didn't endow your wife with any
worldly goods"
whats that?" asked the BRIDE
groom with something of astonishment
in his voice.
why, I repeated the sentence With
all my worldly goods l thee endow'
several times and, despite my efforts,
you would not say it after me-"
The bridegroom seemed perturbed
for a moment and then beaming
light came into his face.

ure.'-Washington Star.

Terry McGOvern whipped Dave Sui
1ivan in the fifteenth round in the
fight before the Southern Athletic club
at Louisville. fiercer fight was never
seen in the prize ring. The winner
was given the. hardest and most Cruel
ing battle of his career. The loser
fought gamely and lost only after he
had slowly been beaten down to the
verge of insensibility.
Sullivan was not knocked out in the
sense that he was prone on his back
and temporarily dead to the world. He
was Knocked down, but Immediately
rose to his knees. He stayed there
while Referee Bob Fitzsim mons count
ed up to nine, and then started to rise.
He was groggy and blind, but still
courageous. He barely lifted knee
from the carpet when McGovern sprang
at him. Sullivan Immediately went to
the floor again and Fitzsimmons de-
clared McGovern the winner.
The end came after less than one
minute of fighting in the fifteenth
round. For fourteen three-minute pc
riods they had struggled about the
ring. For just that long the watching
throng. tense or frantic, had hung on

From the tirst tap OF the gong until
the end it was slam bang, hammer and

possessed.
There has seldom been seen a battle
where the issue was more in doubt.
In one round it would be Sullivan and
in the next McGovern. Then Sullivan
would come strong again and even
things up once more.
McGovern, knowing that the fight
meant his position in the front rank
as a fighter, was. after his man every
second. In the majority OF the rounds
he was on the aggressive. and Sullivan
was forced to do far more defensive
work than his opponent. He put up
a wonderful fight. however, was game
to the core and lost the fight more

The criticisms of the London news

play, which is regarded as among the
best melodramas. but for the acting,

The picturesque background, the
piquant novelty of the characters to

are all approved, the virile and skill
ful acting causes genuine delight.

MAP OF the PHILIPPINES.


Government Has Recently Published IT,
First One.
Only 400 copies of the new map OF,
the Philippines, recently prepared un-i
der the direction OF Gen. "A. w. Gree.
ley, were printed by the war depart
ment, the edition barely supplying
the demands of the army posts. The
National Geographic society, however,
obtained the plates and has printed a
large number for public distribution,
using the map as a supplement of the
National Geographical Magazine.
The size of the map is five feet two
inches by three feet; the scale fifteen
miles to the inch. Every town or ham,
let known by the Jesuits or reported
to the war department by its many
officers throughout the islands is in
dicated. In short, it is a compilation
of everything now known about the
Philippine archipelago.
A glance at the map shows how
much exploration is needed in large
sections. For instance, on the island
of Mindoro only a few names along
the coast are given. The interior of
the island is a blank.
The tremendous progress made by
the American government in the is
lands is graphically illustrated by the
red lines, indicating cables, telegraphs
and telephones, which penetrate TO
nearly all corners of the archipelago.
Nearly 1000 miles of wire are now
strung, whereas three years ago there
was not one mile in the service.
All the telegraph lines are owned
by the government and operated by
a government department-the United
States signal corps. The stations
noted as commercial stations are open
to messages of private and CONNER
cial character. while from the stations
noted as military only messages of a.
military nature can be sent.
This map is the first map of the
Philippines that has been prepared by
American officials. The spelling Of
the names is that adopted by the
United States board on geographic
names.
