The peon of southern Mexico has va
riouS appctizers that are unknown to
the poems of the north. One of the
queerest is water wheat" which Is not
eXiCtly what its name suggests, but
the eggs Of Il Kind of fly. The water
wheat fields are ponds in which the
peon places bundles of reeds few feet
apart so that their tops are just above
the surface. On these reeds, or PUSHES,
the insects deposit their eggs in incred-
iblc numbers. The peon then removes
the PUSHES and shakes off the crop.
The MeXicans make the eggs, which
resemble fine fish roe, into small cakes
and sell them in the markets. The pur-
chasers cnt them either as we eat
cheese or mixed with cornmeal and the
eggs of fowls. The poems also eat the
insects which are about the size of our
houseliles. Their method OF preparing
them is to pound quantity of the flies
into paste and boil them with corn
husks

Pay of Bank Presidents.

John SHELTON Williams, comptroller
Of the currency, in an official report
says the national banks with capital
of S5,000,000 or more pay their presi.
dents an average salary Of $44, 400 a
year, while the presidents of national
banks with a capital OF $4,000 or less
receive on the average salary Of
only $l,00S year
There are 1913 national banks. Most
Of them have capitalization of less
than $4,000. 1t may be soothing to
the twenty dollar week clerk to know
that so many bank presidents get an
average Of only $l9.3S week, yet
there is no pronounced movement on
the part of bank presidents to retire
from office and enter the field of clerk
dom. Possibly the poor bank presi-
dent finds ways of adding to his mod
est salary. If he does not he must
find it hard to keep UP appearances In
