How Would You Like Locusts2

the earliest times Of which any rec

scum there is Nineveh sculpture
showing men carrying different kinds
Of meat to some festival, and among
them are some who carry long sticks
to which locusts are tied IN Athens
Of old locusts and grasshoppers were
sold in the markets and they were
then preferred as dainties above the
most succulent quails or the best figs.
According to MI P L. simmonds,
who made an exhaustive study Of
strange kinds Of animal food. the ha-
vor Of locusts. while strong and disa-
greeable when raw, becomes mild and
readily disguised when cooked. IN

pensive precincts . host Of tllustrious
men have gathered and many have
left memories of their sojourn cling
ing to the spot like the vines and
flowers they have planted.
Here Jefferson entertained Lafay-
ette and the warrior planted . root
Of wisteria which had been brought
from France for the purpose. The
vine still lives and spreads its ex-
quisite flowers " all the south wall.
In later days Bledsoe. philosopher and
friend Of the confederacy, planted
some coral honeysuckle, the flowers Of
which are the pride of the present
possessors. McGuffey, abhorred by
the schoolboy because OF the scores
of readers and other text books that
he wrote. planted some dwarf cedars.
and that renowned mathematician.

trees in symmetrical lines. Oliver
Wendell Holmes buried the roots Of
an English laburnum bush, and 1t
thrives to this day. John Stage
