Grdsshopper Candy, Cakes and Pies

Mr.. George D. Rice. writing from the
Philippines, gives an interesting ac-
count Of the manner in which some Of
the natives catch and prepare giant
grassnoppers for food. During May.
June and July the insects appear in
great swarms, travelling in clouds that
obscure the sun. When they settle
upon field they soon. destroy the
crops, eating not only plants, but
smaller insects as well. The Filipino
farmers keep boys posted in the church
towers throughout the islands. and
when swarm lights an alarm is rung
which brings the natives to the strick-
en- farm with bags. The grasshoppers
are caught in nets, knocked down with
paddles and stunned by explosions Of
gunpowder, dropping in large num-
bers. A few hours in the hot sun dries
them so that they will keep a long
time, and they are then shipped to
the cities, where they readily sell for
81 per half-bushel sack. They are con-
sidered choice morsels, and people eat

negro dates back 20 years or more
Few profess to know its origin and
many claim that it was born in the

ants declare that it had its inception

white women and settled there. The
aversion Of the people became so great

ually they were driven away. This
aroused the bitterest hostility among
the negroes and the white people soon
grew to SO hate the sight of one that
every negro was ultimately run out Of
the vicinity, and one has never been
known to live in these parts since.
In recent years there has been no SER
ious trouble, but it is estimated that
no less than ten or a dozen negroes
who had settled in the neighborhood
have been shot from ambush or other
wise mysteriously killed. This repre-
hensible means Of exterminating them
however, was always adopted as a last
resort, and no one was ever punished
for relieving the community OF their
presence. The colored people in this
part of the state generally are aware
OF this peculiar characteristic of Cal
vert City people, and usually avoid the

can hardly be induced to ppke a head

NEW YoRk SNAKES.
Twenty-Five Kinds In the state am
Three Are Polsnnou,.

Twenty-Five Kinds In the siats ana
Three Are Poisnnou..
Edwin c. Eckel of the New Yo h
State museum at Albany has complied
facts which show that in New York
state 25 kinds Of snakes have been
found, or can reasonably be expected
70 occur. OF these several are only
varieties, says the New York Sun.
The list OF snakes is as follows. The
worm snake, ring-necked snake.
blowing adder, green snake, black
snake, racer, pine snake. milk snake,
brown snake. De Kay's brown snake,
three species Of garter snakes, copper
head, masasauga or prairie rattlesnake
and the banded rattlesnake. 1t is Of
some interest to note that only the last
three Of the above list are poisonous.
Ot these. the copperhead is found usu-
ally in marshy or swampy land, while
the banded or common rattlesnake is
COMMONLY an inhabitant of rocky hills.
The masa sauga is a smaller species
than the banded rattlesnake and has
never been found in this state except
IN one swamp near the Genesee river.
Both the coDperhead and the rattle
snake are much rarer than is common
ly supposed, the latter being pract.c-
ally confined to the Adirondack region
and to those parts Of Orange and Rock
land counties which fall within the
highlands of the Hudson. Deaths
from their bite are very rare. probably
not exceeding, in this state, one case
in five years The copperhead, while
smaller than the rattlesnake, and
therefore less venomous, is generally
regarded as the more dangerous of the
two species. This is due to the fact
that the rattlesnake will, in general,
give warning of his intention to strike,
while the copperhead lies silently ana
until his victim is within
reach Of his fangs. Though frequently
one sees in print descriptions Of meth
DDS by which poisonous snakes can be
from harmless species, /
few Of the tests commonly given can
be applied at safe distance. and some
lf them are not applicable TO all OF |
our poisonous snakes. For example. T
i has been often stated that the pols-
'nous snakes have many small scales
covering the tops of their heads, while
he harmless varieties are covered with
few comparatively large plates. This
S true as far as the banded rattlesnake
S concerned. but both the masasauga
md the copperhead have the large
like harmless snakes. The
thickness of the body Is also, to some
egree, a sign Of a poisonous snake,
ut the harmless blowing adder also
assesses this popularity. The head
t the poisonous snakes is very mark
dly triangular. locked at from above.
fhile the neck is comparatively thin
nd well marked off from both body
nd head. In the harmless species on
he contrary, the head is more or less
nmarkad.
