WISDOM OF ANIMALS.
The Ape of ApuIeius-A Dog Actor.
Wise Dogs and Elephants.

Apule.Us says that in the spring
fetes of Isis, the forerunners of the
Roman carnival, he saw monkey
with a straw hat and Phrygian tunic.
But monkeys do not seem to have
been popular in Rome The clevereSt
of all the animal performers were Of
course tie dogs. and one Snowman
had the ingenious idea of making Il
dog act a part in a comedy. The eff
fects of Il drug were tried on him, the
plot turning on the suspicion that the
drug was poisonous, willie in fact, it
was only a narcotic The dog took
the piece of bread dipped ir the liquid,
swallowed it and began to reel and
stagger till he finally fell on the
ground.
At the right moment lie began to
move very slightly as if waking out
of deep sleep. Then he raised his
head, looked around, jumped up and
ran joyously to the proper person.
The remark that animals do not grow
wiser with age is contradicted by the
habit of elephants, noticed even in
ancient times, of making the young
ones cross Il ford first. The officer who
superintended the embarkation of the
elephants sent from India to Abys-
sinia for use in Lord NapieT'ss cam
paign tells how one old elephant vol
unteered to drive all the others on

but when they had all embarked and
he was invited to follow them lie firm

THE MARQUIS PAID.


How the Famous Surgeon Velpeau
Treated . Free Patient.
The famous surgeon Velpeau was
visited one day at his house during the
consultation hour by a marquis re-
nowned for his closeness. velpeau in
formed the marquis that an operation
was urgent and that the fee would
amount to 1900 francs. At this the
marquis made a wry face and left. A
fortnight later DR.. Velpeau, while max
ing his rounds in the Hospital de la
Charlie, had his attention attracted
by face that seemed familiar to him.
In answer to his inquiry it was stated
that the patient was a footman Of a
nobleman in the Faubourg st. Ger
main. The surgeon found that his
case resembled in every particular the
somewhat unusual one for which the
marquis had consulted him a fortnight
previously. He refrained, however.
from making any comments.
Three weeks after the operation.
when the patient was about to be dis
charged, DR.. Velpeau called him aside
and exclaimed: Monsieur, l an ex-
tremely fiattered and pleased to Lave

AN INSECT MENU.
every Item Thereon Long known
and Esteemed by EpicGres.

und LStee"cd ny IIptCtISS.
Here is Il typical insect i..enu OF
which no one need lie afraid to PR
take, since every item has been known
and esteemed by insect eaters for gen
erations past. 1t was served not long
ago, according to pcarson's Weekly
at the table OF a rich London cpIcurc
who is also an enthusiastic advocate
Of an insectarian dietary:
Green Caterpillar Soup.
Fried Locust with Wood Louise Sauce.
Curricd Cockchafers.
Wasp Grubs Baked in the Comb.
Stag Beetle Larvae on Toast.
Moths Baked in Batter.
Deviled Wireworms.
GrasshOppers au Gratin
The green caterpillars that COMPOSE
the soup feed entirely upon vegetables,
and mostly upon particular vegetables
most relished by man, such as cab
bage and lettuce.
In appearance the soup itself is not
unlike clear turtle, while its flavor is
delicious.
The iocusts, which constitute the sec
ond course, have, as every one is
aware, been esteemed by gormands
the world over and from the remotest
antiquity. Eat We the locust after his
kind is the Biblical injunction, and
we know that John the Baptist is re-
corded as having lived for some con-
siderable time upon ''locusts and wild
honey"
There are of course many ways of
preparing them. They can be fried aft
er their legs and wings have been
plucked off, which was, as a matter of
fact, the process adopted in this par
ticular instance, or they may be pow
dered and baked into cakes or curried
or boiled, turning red, like Holsters, in
the process.
The wood louise sauce Ii properly
made with fresh butter, flour, milk
pepper and salt will be found fully
equal to shrimp. which 1t much resem-
bles in taste. Indeed the wood louise,
although he lives on land, is first cous-
in to that much relished cruStacean.
Cockchafers, curried or otherwise,
are delicious if selected Of seryicea-
BILE size and plumpness. So, too, are
their grubs when full grown They
should then be at least two inches in
length and fat in proportion and may
be eaten uncoobed. like oysters, or
stewed In milk.
Perhaps. however, the most tooth
some of ali insect delicacies is that
which comes forth on our menu of
the day" wasp grubs baked in the
comb. These grubs have been fed by
their parents on Il saccharine fluid
composed of fruit and vegetable juices
and are simply tiny balls of sugary
fat possessing Il flavor as exquisite as
1t is unique. No one who has once
tasted them will ever again be sur
prised ut the preference shown by fish
for this particular grub when used rs
a bait.
The stag beetle larva Is Of course
Identical with the coSsus, which the
Old Roman cpicureS used to fatten for
their table upon flour and wine. The
sixth course shoulI be served steaming
hot, since there is no more appetizing
odor than that cmanating from Il
plump baked moth.
Devlled WIrewOrmS are eaten in the
form of Il paste. spread upon sippets of
toasts, and taste not unlike anchOvies
when treated in similar fashion.

Ivy and DamDReaa.

A physician tells the Washington
Post it is widespread but erroneous
notion that the growth Of ivy on the
exterior walls of residences creates a
damp habitatiOn. He is satisfied lit
tie reflection will convince any one of
the fallacy Of this proposition. The ivy
instead of contributing to dampness
has rather IN opposite influence, since
it must extract moisture from the
brick or stone that it overruns. The
dampness of these is what gives life
to the plant, so that the interior of the
house is rendered drier than it would
be otherwise

The contention of the county in the

not members OF the tribes on the res

United States holds that they are
wards of the government and under
the United states law Indians are not
subject to taxation unless they become
citizens. The attempt 70 impose taxes
on the Indians was the cause of the re-

A strange. large black cat is held re-
