cRAssHoPPERs AS A DELlcAcY,

Are Esteemed Highly by Housewives
of the Philippines.
Big grasshoppers, such as grow fat
and buzz loudly in the Orient, are
looked upon as table delicacies in the
Philippines.
There are several methods used by
the natives for catching grasshoppers.
The most effective is the net. This is
a large butterfly net, arranged with
netting placed over a hoop, and to the
latter is fixed a long handle.
The hopper is first so thoroughly
dried out in the heat of the sun or in
the bake oven that there is nothing
left that is really Objectionable, and a
nice crispy article of food results. This
tastes sweet of itself, and something
like ginger biscuits. The natives usu.
ally sweeten the grasshopper more by
using a sprinkling of brown sugar.
Then the confectioners make up grass.
hoppers with sugar, chocolate trim.
mings, and colored candies in such q
way that a very nice tasting piece OF
confectionery is obtained. The house
wife of the Philippines takes consider
able delight in placing before you a
nice grasshopper pie or cake. The
grasshopper pie is the most wonder
full dish, as the big hoppers are pre-
pared in such a way that they do not
lose their form.

Children Listen to Fables Much as Do

Japanese children are accustomed
to lots of toys. They have their games
and nursery rhymes galore. Their
Mother Goose" is centuries older than
ours; in fact, it is said that Jap moth
ers used to recite it's jingles long be-
fore Columbus discovered America.
A favorite hero of the Japanese book
is a man who rides on a frog. Long
ago he was a poor robber, but gifted
with remarkable dexterity as a swords
a Once he attacked a beautiful
lady, who suddenly turned into an
elderly gentleman. Breaking the rob-
ber's sword into half a dozen pieces,
just as if it had been a dry twig,
the old man announced that he was
the Ancient Of all Frogs and counseled
the youth to refrain in future from
stealing from the poor and to confne
his attentions exclusively to the
wealthy.
At the same time he placed him
self at the service of the young man,
who, mounted on the frogs back, was
able to leap across rivers and to travel
at great speed on land, these superior
facilities of transportation making it
practicable for him to rob usurers and
other avaricious persons of their
treasures.

Geographical Prefixes and Sufflxes
All Have a Significance.
A few definitions of Chinese geo
graphical prefxes and sufixes may be
of service in calculating the nomen-
clature of current war news. First,
prefxes: Ia, as in Taku, means great,
and siao, as in Siao-Ping-Thou, means
small. Pei OF pc, nan, tung and 81
are respectively north, south, east and
west. Thus the Pei-HO is the North
River, etc. Shang and hal are upper
and. lower. Pal, hei and whang are
white, black and yellow. Sufixes are
more and familiar. Kiang,
no tchuan, ula, muren and tchu each
and all mean river. Thus Yalu Kiang
AMI Lao Ho are simply Yalu River
and Lao River. Shut, kOu, thsuan,
XIII, gol and ussu are unfamiliar terms,
meaning a brook or small river. HUI,
nor and ONO mean lake, as in the. we'll
known Lob Nor and Kosso Col. Pc,
tse and tien lei a small lake or
swamp, or a town situated lear such
a place. Hal means sea; thus Whang-
Hal is the Yellow Sea, Tung-Hai is
the Eastern Sea and Nan-Hai is the
Southern Sea. Tao and sometime shan
ear island, but shan more often
means a mountain range. Ling is q
pass over a mountain range.

Mayoral Privilege.

A curious privilege attaches to the
Office of mayor of Limerick. From
time immemorial the mayor has
claimed the right to a quarter of a
ton Of coal out of every cargo import,
ed into the town. The coal merchants
recently objected to paying this trib-
ute, and a test case was taken to the
local quarter sessions. The magis-
trates decided in favor of the mayor.
That official receives over 100 tons of
coal from this source every year and
distributes it among the poor of the
town, although there is no legal rea-
son why he should not use it for his
OVID private purposes.

Oil Products Of Pennsylvania Exceeds

According to a report of the geo.
logical survey Of the United States
government, now nearly ready for
publication, petroleum was first dis
covered by Col. Drake less than half
a century ago in Pennsylvania near
TitusviHe. Men in those days had no
notion that petroleum was among the
necessities of existence. A tallow dip
or a wax candle illuminated sufficient
ly the nights activities and a blazing
log wood fire left no room for desire
for another kind Of heater. PetrO-
teum might have been counted a su
perfluity, but instead it sprang into
immediate favor, and now it's list OF
popular byproducts grows longer
every year.
The total production Of crude pc.
troleum from 1859 to the end of 1902
has been no less than 1,165, 2 ,727
barrels. That means that if two and
one-half feet were allowed for the
height of a barrel and if these bar
rels filed with all the domestic oil
that has been produced were laid sc

country does not contain subsistence
