Stage Ice

An amusing break once occurred
IN a production of Camille at the old
Walnut Street theater in Philadelphia.
In those days sea island cotton was
stage lee cream, just as molasses and
water was make believe wine-sherrv
or port, according to the proportion Of
molasses.
Armand and Camille were at table.
where they had been discussing such
v1ands as these, and their dialogue was
making the finest sort of an impression
on the crowded house. Enter a maid
servant with candelabra of the wab-
bliest sort imaginable. The scene was
SO e~ngrossing that the maid was hard
~ noticed by the audience, but when
she had set down the c%andelabra be-
tween the unfortunate Camille and her
and one candle toppled over and
set the ice cream in a blaze the nerv-
u strain upon the house was broken.
n the entire audience burst into a
roar OF laughter that brought down the
curtain.-Harper's Weekly.

In the constellation Scorpio, seen,

object is, according to measurement
OF its parallax by Sir David Gill.
enormously distant and must there
fore be a colossal body. One Of our
astronomers, j. E. Gore, computed
from photometric considerations that
its mass is probably $4,000 times that
OF the sun. AS a rule, the tendency
or astronomers is to doubt whether
such differences as these figures i'm
ply exist among the clestial orbs. but
undoubtedly the mass of Antares
must be exceptional. Mr.. Larkin of
the Lowe observatory, California.

AN INSECT MENU.
Every Item Thereon Long Known
and Esteemed by Epicures.

and Esteemed by Epicures.
Here is a. typical insect mem q
which no one need be afraid to pa]
take. since every item has been know.
and esteemed by insect eaters for ger
erations past. 1t was served not lon
ago, according to P~earson's Weekly
at b table of a rich London epic,lre
who is also an enthusiastic advocat
of an insectarian dietary:
Green Caterpillar Soup.
Fried Locust with Wood Louise Sauce.
Curried C~ockchafers
wasp Grubs Bake in the Comb.
Stag Beetle Larvae on Toast.
Moths Baked in Batter.
Deviled Wireworms.
G~rasshoppers 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 it's flavor is
delicious.
The ~locusts, which constitute the sec
ond course, have, as every n 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 if properly
made with fresh butter, flour, milk.
pepper and salt will be found fully
equal to shrimp, which it 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 a servicea- |
bic size and plumpness. So, too, are
their grubs when full grown. They
should then be at least two inches in
and fat in proportion and may
be eaten uncooked, like oysters, or
in milk.
Perhaps, however, the most tooth
of all insect delicacies is that

t is unique. No one who has once

The stag beetle larya is of course
.entical with the cossus, which the
ID Roman epicures used to fatten for
heir table upon flour and wine. The
lxth course should be served steaming

dor than that emanating from a

Deviled Wireworms are eaten in the
orm of a paste, spread upon sippets of
oasts, and taste not unlike anchovies
