Eating Worms.

All nations save the worshipers OF
Buddha eat the flesh OF animals. Even
the lowest and most disgusting to eye
and palate find 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. or equal value is the IA
nous palm worm Of the West Indies,
which forms one of the best dishes of
luxurious dinners. Its near relation,
the grugru worm of Java. is said to be
richer still and more delicate. Nor do
costly silkworms escape the fate Of all
that is eatable. Freed from their CO
coons and daintily dressed they are
