Eating Worms.

All nations save the WorshlperS of
Ruddha eat the flesh of animals. Even
the lowest and most disgusting to eye
and palate find a home where they are
welcomed Worms and insects must
furnish food and grace the tables not
only OF the poor, but Of the rich. Think
Of the gourmet who praises the luscious
woodsnipe, and still more the black
mass from the inside that he carefully
places on his toast and eats with a
feeling akin to veneration! He is eat
ing the worms that live in the snipe's
intestines. OF equal value is the ia
nous palm worm of the West Indies.
which forms one of the best dishes OF
luxurious dinners. Its near reia ton,
the grugru worm Of Java, is said to be
richer still ana more delicate. Nor 90
costly silkworms escape the fate OF all
that is eatable. Freed from their CO.
coons and daintily dressed they are
highly priced and largely swallowed
by the people of Madagascar.

Young man, rather than himself, pro-
vide the entertainments given to the
object of his regard. Teas, dinners

riage the young woman lives in a
whirl of pleasurable excitement, which
is all the more Intoxicating in that
it is evoked in her honor.
Modern American couples do much
OF their courting on the golf links and
the bride path There is also the
ballroom and drawing room cOurtship,
but these are apt to be too severely
chaperoned for the individuality OF
either of the couple to assert itself
home of the American courtship. The
southern girl has this almost all the
year around. That is why. perhaps,
that courting is so much more fine
art there than elsewhere in the United
States She calls it "the gallery,

One of the first things a so54thern girl
who comes to New York always asks

But in the summer the piazza is a
universal possibility. All the Ameri

important accessory. The American
girl from all parts of tho country takes
possession of this paradise of court.
ship.
The piazza may account for the
recklessness of the American girl in
regard to summer engagements. En-.
gagements beginning in the summer
are an especial brand. They are not
expected to last and the summer en-
gagement' is known from the Allan
tic to the Pacific as an excessively
fragile arrangement. Many girls
take on two or three engagements for
the heated period, cutting them off
with equal nonchalance on their re-
turn to town in the fall The south
ern girl is supposed to be particularly
addicted to the double and even triple
engagement habit.

A CHRISTOPHER RACE.

John w. Mackay was an early riser.
a hard worker and, although exceed
ingly hospitabe, was himself abstcmi.
Gus and could seldom be induced to
play cards for money. and then for
only nominal stakes. Tile only game
that seemed to attract him was the
"grasshopper races with which the
mining superintendents on the Com
stock beguiled a portion of the noon
hour while waiting for luncheon at the
Savage company hosting house. Boys
| caught grasshoppers and sold them to
the players at % to so cents each. Each
player paid a fixed stake, ranging from
81 to $2O, into the pool, and the man
whose hopper made the longest jump
captured the pool. On the day before
Christmas it was agreed to celebrate
that holiday with pool the stakes in
which were to be 500 for each player
The terms were play or pay" and at
the instance Of German professor
who was superintendent of a leading
mine each man was allowed to use any
means that he might devise to stimu
late his grassh0pper. The professor
was SO full of his scheme to scien-
tifically capture the $1,000 pool-for
there were ten entries--that he cOlnmu-
nicated it to a young asSayer who was
not a grasshopper plunger. The pro-
fessor had experimental and ascertain
ed that a grasshopper that was touch
ed by fea ather dipped in weak solu-
ton Of aqua ammonia would jump for
his life. The young man also expert
mented, and as q result he filled bot
tie of the same size and appeara nee
with cyanide of potassium and man
aged to substitute it for the other in
the professors laboratory. The next
day, when the professor after much
boasting about his scientific attain
ments dipped feather in the substi-
tuted bottle and touched his insect with
it, the grasshopper rolled over as dead
as salt mackerel. amid the roars OF
the crowd. Mackay's hopper won the
big pool, and two widows. whose hus-
bands had been killed in the Yellow
Jacket mine, received gift Of $500
each from an unknown source.-San

ASK FOR A GRAND JURY
CHARGES AGAINST OFFICIALS AT
HELENA WILL BE INVESTI-
GATED BY THE COURT.
speoia,. to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Helena, Mont, April 19.-The city
council last night, by a vote of to g.,
decided to petition the district court
to call a grand jury to investigate
certain bills for special policemen
which had been approved by the chief
of police, but which were disallowed
by the council on the ground that
the services had not been performed
and that the men had been hired for
political purposes.
The session was an unusually bitter
one and resulted in several disputes
in which Mayor Edwards and nearly
all the aldermen participated. The
mayor declared she had information
that the sheriff's office was notified
that it would be depended upon to
carry the election, and that he took
measures to prevent it.
Serious charges Of bribery We're also
made against republican city officials,
and it was decided to let the grand
jury investigate the whole affair.

In hundreds Of homes there is pre-
scented this same bitter spectacle, the
mother who feels no joy in having her
children about her, whose quivering
nerves vince at the happy chatter, as if
from the sting of whip.
Too many a discouraged woman, or
man, has recourse to the coffee pot-or to
a still more insidtous stimulant-and the
result is nervous and physical wreck, and
q saddened home.
This tired, nerve-racked mother-Mrs.
A. F. Ellen-was wise enough to build up
her system and her nerve forces quickly.
instead Of taking a stimulant like coffee
to burn them up She writes:
II am the mother Of a large family,
and household duties completely wore mo
out. -
II became nervous and run down and
had no appetite. I was so nervous that
my childrens talk, which always amused
me. became a source Of irritation.
