QUEER THING8 TO EAT.
What Waa Served at the Table of a
London Epicure.'
Here Is a typical insect menu, of
which no one need be afraid to par-
lake, since every item has been known
and esteemed by insect eaters for gen
erations past It was served, not long
ego,' according to Pearson's Weekly,
at the table of a rich London epicure,
who is also an enthusiastic advocate
of an insectarian dietary! Green cater
pillar soup, fried locust with wood-
louse sauce, curried cockchafers, wasp
grubs baked In the comb, stag beetle
larvae on toast, moths baked In bat-
ter, deviled wireworms, grasshoppers
"an gratln."
The green caterpillars that compose
the soup feed entirely upon vegetables,
and mostly upon particular vegetables
most relished by man, such as cab
bages and lettuce,
In appearance the soup itself is not
unlike clear turtle, while Its flavor is
delicious,
The locusts, which constitute the sec
ond course, have, as every one is
aware, been esteemed by gourmets the
world over, and from the remotest
antiquity. "Eat ye the locust after
his kind," was the biblical Injunction;
and John the Baptist is recorded as
having lived for some considerable
time upon "locusts and wild honey."
There are, of course, many ways of
preparing them. They can be fried,
after their legs and wings have been
plucked oft, which was, as a matter
of fact, the process adopted In this
particular Instance. Or they may be
powdered and baked Into cakes, or
curried, or boiled, turning' red, like
lobsters, in the process,
The woodlouse sauce, If properly
made with fresh butter, flour, milk,
pepper and salt, will be found fully
equal to shrimp, which It much re
eembles in taste. Indeed, the wood-
louse, although he lives on land, is
first cousin to that much reushed crust
acean.
Cockchafers, curried or otherwise,
are delicious If selected of a servlce-
abl size and plumpness. So, too, are

should then b at least two Inches In
length and fat In proportion, and may

WORDS AND THEIR USES.
About 5,000 Only Are Used by Edu
cated Peopl.
No oue can say how many words
there are In the English language, be
cause there are eo many words of
doubtful standing, says the Springfield
Republican, The Century dictionary
contains about '.225.000 words, and the
new edition of the Standard dictionary
lays claim to over 300.000. Of these
many are obsolete, and many others
are rarely used. Science has added
a vast vocabulary of polysyllables thnt
are scientific formula rather than real
words. They have no place In general
literature. The ordinary English vo
cabulary may be said to contain from
30,000 to 60,000 words, the latter esti
mate being large. . No single writer of
literature has used so many as the
lower number named.
Shakespeare, whose vocabulary Is
larger than that of any other English
poet unless It be Browning, used about
15,000 words, while Milton, whose
range was narrower, employed only
about half that number. The vocabu
lary of the Illiterate haa been set as
low aa 30 worda. but thla must be exceptional.-
It's more likely that the
'ordinary worklngman" uses from 2,-
000 to 3,000 words, while, of course.
he la familiar with several thousand
more, which he recognizes In print but
does not himself use. The common
estimate of the average vocabulary
of educated people la .from 5,000 to
8,000, but In thla case the number of
words which are not used Is enormous
ly Increased. A well-read college grad
uate should be familiar with perhaps
100,000 words, while In the course of
a year he might not use 5,000 of them
In his writing or conversation, short
hand reporters find about 2,500 word
signs and contractions ample for rep
resenting the words which are com
monly used In public speaking.
Dead Shots Are All Deaf.
"I see you are a rifle shot," remark
ed Philosopher Simeon Ford to a man
who after a good deal of sparring for
place at last sat down In the hotel cor
ridor by the side of New York's land
lord orator.
"How do you make that out?" asked
Mr. Ford's companion.
"Ob, easy enough. You are deaf In
your left ear. All rifle shots are deal
In their left ears. All the Creedmoor
ernprts are that way. I am deaf Id
my left ear myself and got It shoot
ing rifles. I met Gildersleeve once
and I was backing and filling and
dodging to get a position where my
right ear would bear on him and he
was maneuvering at the same time for
an opening where he could rake me
with his right ear. Then GUdersleeve
said to me, as I have Just said to you,
that be observed I was a rifle shot
It was the first time I had heard that
all rifle shots were, deaf In their left
ears, but I have noticed it ever since
and know it Is true.
"The reason of it is that all the
concussion of the rifle explosion comes
on the left ear drum. The right ear
is partly turned away and partly pro
tected by the gunstock being brought
Up to the cheek when the gun is fired."

Use for Hurplua Potatoes.
The abundance of potatoes In this
country the present year suggests tho
possibility that new uses will need to
bo found for the crop within a few
years. In Germany the manufacture
of alcohol from potatoes is one of tho
mainstays of agriculture. Before the
Industry was started potatoes were a
drug on the market, .now there Is a
regular market for the whole of the
produce and the Importance of the
potato crop has vastly Increased. The
alcohol Is treated In such a way that
It Is unfit for drinking purposes and so
not liable to special tax. It is used
for heating, lighting and motive power,
varnishes, etc., and last year two mill
ion tons of potatoes were used In this
way.
