WHY NOT EAT INSECTS ?
Grubs, Caterplllass. Moths, Butterflies
and Kish worms Transformed Into Epi
curean Dishes.
From the London Standard.
“Why nit eat insects?” This is not,
as might be suppostrd. a humorous, but,
on the contrary, a perfectly serious ques
tion propounded by Mr. Vincent M. Holt
in a little brochure just issued. and the
writer answers it affirmatively, in the
alleged interest alike of the gourmand*
the agriculturist, and the starving poor.
It should be premised that under the con
venient term “insect” are included not
only the vegetable-eating grubs, caterpil
lars, moths, butterflies, and beetles, with
their chrysalids, but some small molluscs
and crustaceans, such as snails and their
kindred. 31 r. Holt is not attempting to
Imitate the stroke of humor that led Dean
Swift ironically to advocate eating babies
as a means ol simultaneously increasing
the tood supply anil diminishing the pop
ulation, hut he sets to work quite gravely
in crisp and vivacious English, to demon
strate how advantageously we might play
a return match against the farmers' ene
ffties by ourselves devouring—with appro
priate condiments—the destroyers of our
crops. It is not to lie expected that we
should do this simply as aduty, irrespec
tive of inclination, but we are informed
that those who have not personally made
a trial of insect food can baldly imagine
what a treat they have missed, Grass
hoppers. deprived of head, wings and legs,
flavored with pepper and salt, and fried
iu butter, are “a truly tasty morsel," and
even raw they are pleasant to the taste,
being in this respect unlike snails, which,
when raw, are “tasteless, though nourish
ing ’ but “niqaly cooked, are excellent.”
As for the grubs ol the cockchafer, which
the rooks pick up in foljowing the plow—
'•‘try them; they are delicious" if fried in
butter and served with a garnish ot pars
ley and wireworm sauce. This latter
sauce, again, is not quite so good as that
made out of the common wood louse,
which is described as “equal if not dis
tinctly superior tosbrir. p.” YVith respect
to the’ t< pidopUra —creatures ••beauttlul
without and sweet within; nourished on
nectar, the fabled food of the gods”—only
by trial can one realize the “delightsboth
in taste and smell of a Pht moth nicely
baked. Try them, ye epicures!” Of the
common buff-tip butterfly we read : “It is
handsome; what is upore, let me whisper
the ogreish suggestion, that its body, an
inchin length, is plump, rouud and sweet.”
We might add indefinitely to these testi
monies, but one more must suffice. Re
ferring to the wasp grub, which some
lisbes find so irresistible, Mr. Holt savs:
“l have myself spread the baked grubs
upon lit bread, and found their excellent
flavor quite sufficient to account for the
fondness ol the trout for this particular
bait.” Only on the subject of caterpillars
do we observe a certain hesitation and
faltering. Certain sorts are named and
recommended; but it does notappeartbat
any one has ever made trial of them. The
street boy picks up, plays with, and fin
ally squashes them; blit the extraordi
nary part of it is that it never strikes hint
to taste them, though, as is well known,
boys taste almost everything. This strange
antipathy to insect food seems almost to
drive our philosopher to despair.
BUGS AND WORMS FOR EPICURES.
It is no doubt true that it the question
were one to he se'tleri bv abstract argu
ment, there could be little doubt to which
aide victor) would incline. Chemically,
of course, all tue creeping things now rec
ommended to us are composed of the same
fle-h-fornunsi constituents as those things
which we already eat without offense.
The test ot “clean fetding,” which we
apply to otlmr animals, is one which t.bv
can p>ass triumphantly, whilst as regards
flavor, it we only had Hie courage to try
well, we have the ample evidence quoted
above, the bona tides of winch there is no
reason for doubting. The argument ura
ad hominem— if more rhetorical than logi
cal value—can be brought to bear heavily
but effectually upon our prejudices. It is
only the other day that the gourmets of
England made the acquaintance ofhird's
nest soup, and pronounced it a distinct
acquisition. Yet, as every one knows.it
is nothing but the nest of a small swallow,
constructed hy the bird principally of
threads of a viscid fluid secrejed from its
mouth. The “Visigo ala Tortus” in the
much-esteemed Chinese dinner was made
from the loathsome cuttle-fish. Beehe
de-mer is a sea slug, and was relished hy
hundreds of people who would ha made
absolutely ill at the mere idea ot eating a
common garden slug. And, to come’to
our habitual dishes, lobsters and smelts
are great devourers of carrion and filth:
out bacon is trom the “uaclean animal”
of the East; whilst for the eel, the scav
enger of the waters, no possible gastro
nomic apology can lie four.d. But by far
the strongest abstract argument tor insect
eating ito lie found in a survey of the
manners and customs of other nations.
Locusts—first cousins totlie grasshopper
—have been eaten time out of niind. In
Morocco they are a luxury to ibis day,
fried in butter, and Herodotus tells bow
the N'asamone* powdered them to make
them into cakes. Throughout Africa and
Western Asia they are cooked in various
wavs, turning red like lobsters w hen
boiled. Cicada' are eaten In America and
Australia, and Aristotle speaks ol their
chrysalids as a luxury. The Homans
fattem-d for the table a great white grub,
probably that of the stag lieetle, and con
sidered it a delicacy, whilst, according to
.Elian, a dish of roasted grubs was a
dainty dish to set liefor*'an Indian King,
in the West Indies at time
palm-tree grubs are gr< aW prized by the
natives. Cock chafers are r>dished Tc
.lava; Turkish women -at meal worms to
produce an admirable plumpness ol form;
the Chinese, after robbing a cocoon of its I
silk, fry the chrysalis in butter or lard,
add yelk of egg, and season with pepper,
salt and vinegar. Only the Hottentot*
care lor caterpillars; imt travelers de
scribe them when cooked as “delicate,
nourishing and Wholesome, resembling iti
taste sugared crearn or alumnd paste.”
It Is hardly necessary to speulc of snails.
The Romans cultivated snails, and civi
llzed Europe has by no means abandoned
the taste tor them.’ The British isles are
the exception; blit even In England the
habitat eating them is not wholly extinct
—the periwinkle is first cousin to the edi
ble snail of llignon or the Cafe Anglais—
and certainly has a tietter chance ol revi
val than most Innovations in food have of
establishing themselves.
POINTS FGK THE INSECTARIAN.
We have so many reform* on hand just
now, either In progress or suggedted, in
food, drink, 'dotbinjc, bouin*f and deport
ment, that a rPcontTnendation to become
Inoectariano—“lnsectarian” U a* Rood a*
vegetarian—will not, we imagine, be
likely in find many persons with lelsti-e
to take it tip.oven it there were no other
Objection*. It aeenisa pity that such a
formidable array of facts, such earnest
assurance*, and such unanswerable logic
aiiouM make no more itiiprpMtion on the
world than the breath of un idle wind.
Rut tfio truth must be told, llie appetite
Is unassailable by reason, and th most
cogent argument* will not remove an
antipathy. Our Saxon forefathers e
teetned the horse sacred to Tuor, and
horse broth was a special delicacy at the
festival* of the deity. When Christian
ity prevailed, to partake of thi* broth
savored of impiety, and canto very near to
participating in bcathun rile*. no
effectually was the horse tabooed as food
that, with absolutely no reasonable objec.
tlon to be heard agulnst it. It ha* no more
chance of being eaten by the Eutl!*h poor
’J *h)' except u fetv ati)ierlor pei sous
e 1 1,11 11, r* H ,, l''* ‘‘pretty, clemt-feedlng

for the kitchen or else lose their servants.
It is all wry well to say that in these*
matters the example ought to come from
the higher classes, but, in the matter ot
insects, even the upper classes have their
own prejudices to overcome, and will
hardly be willing to cultivate a taste for
plump roasted moth on the chance of the
gardener’s children takingto spread wasp
grubs on their bread and blitter. Again,
even if it could be done, it is very doubt
ful whether the game would be worth the
candle. We must not reckon on the
supply of insects being aa inexhaustible
as tiis widow's barrel of meal. You can
not eat your caterpillar and have your
moth. More than one wasp's nest would
he wanted for a single good entree of
“Larves de Guepes frites an Rayon.”
and with each of them goes the hope of
next season's grubs. Many moths would
be required for a plat of "l’halenes an
Parmesan,” and if there is- any run upon
“Bceuf aux Chenilles'' we snail after
wards have to go without our “Fricassee
de Pottlets aux Chrysalides.” The birds,
too, are to t>e thought of. If we drive
away the rook from the plow tail in order
to secure ourselves a dish of Larves de
Hanuetons Grillees," where are the poor
birds to find compensation? Avery small
pecuniary stimulus has sufficed to ex
terminate the locusts from Cyprus in
three years: but should we in England
care to exterminate the insects at the
cost of losing the birds? Thus far it is
lawful to answer the pleasant apostle of
insectarianism according to his unwis
dom; but the best answer, after all, is a
bold avowal of unconquerable prejudice.
“I do not love you. Dr. F-U. The reason
why I cannot tell.” This may be despised
as a woman’s argument, or dismissed
as no argument at all. But it suffices;
and its frank simplicity makes it unan
swerable. It may he the last refuge of the
logically defeated—but is an imoregnable
citadel. '
AX AMERICAN PIRATE.
The Brigantine That Our Navy Cap
tured off Aspinwall.
From the Xew York S'in.
A weather-beaten brigantine with the
American flag flying from her taffratl
anchored off Clifton early yesterday
morning. Many folks ashore took her for
one of our representative naval vessels,
but she is not. She is the prize that the
man-of-war Alliance captured off Aspin
wall. She is not the long, rakish piratical
looking craft pictured in the fiction
of boyhood; on the contrary, she is rather
short and dumpy, and stands high out of
the water. Her crew consists of eight
blue jackets and an ensign, under Lieut.
Wright. There are five prisoners aboard— j
('.apt. Gasper Rodriguez, First Mate
Johan and Seamen William Gale. John
flattens (a Frenchman and Thomas
Jones (an Englishman). They helped to
work the vessel from Aspinwall, and were
allowed th< same privileges as the blue
jackets.
According to a veracious tar who
talked with a reporter, everybody aboard
the brigantine, except the prisoners, is
writing up his experience at Aspinwall.
The veracious tar said that a blank cart
ridge was first fired at the Ambrose
Light. Then a shot was sent 15 feet from
her jibboom, and she hove to. Lieut.
Wright and twelve sailors armed with
cutlasses and revolvers went over td the
brigantine in a small tjoat. The only
man who resisted was the gunner.
He threatened to blow up the
hoarders with the old-lashioDed cast
ir m cannon with which the vessel was
a m-d. A sailor struck hint on the buck
<>t the neck witn the fiat of a cutlass, and
he shouted for quarter and surrendered.
After transferring the sixty armed men,
mostly natives, to the Alliance, the prize
crew ionk charge of the brigantine and
examined her thoroughly. Besides the
cannon, winch 'was mounted on wheels
and la-tened on deck between the main
and foremasts, they found 350 rounds of
ammunition in a tog box marked “dyna
mite,” and several hundred 21-pound
shells. The cannon was unloaded. It had
been tired quee by the belligerent gunner
jut to see if it would go ott.
Tdb 60 soldiers captured aboard of the
brigantine were turned over to Colombian
authorities. Tney were well armed with
Remington, Wheeler and Hotchkiss rifles,
and had plenty of ammunition.
Capt. Rodriguez says the insurgents
paid $7,000 for the vessel and put him in
command.
Abraham Lincoln’!* Boyhood.
From the Charleston -Veto and Courier.
“Well, he was at this time not growD,
only #ix feet two inches high.” said Den
nis F. Hank*, coutin of Abranam Lincoln.
“He was six feet four and one-half inches
when growu—tali, lathy and gangling—
not much appearance, not handsome, not
ugly, but peculiar. This kind of a fellow .
if a man rode ut> horseback, Abe would
be the first one out, up on the fence and
asking question*, tilt his lather would
give him a knock side o’the head; then
he'd go and throw at snowbirds or suthin’,
but ponderin' all tue while.”
“YVa* he active and s'rong?”
“He was that. I was ten year older,
but I couldn’t russle him down. Hi 6 legs
was too long for me to throw him. He
would fling one foot upon nt.v shoulder and
make me swing corners swift, and his
arms so long and strong! My, hoV he
would chop! Hi* ax would flash and bite
into a sugar tree or sycamote. and down
it would come. If you heard him failin’
tree* in a" clearin' you would say there
were three men at work by the way trees
fell. Hut he never was sa*y or quarrel
some. I've seen him walk into a crowd
ot sawin’ rowdies, and tell some droll yarn
and bust them all up. It was the same
when he was a lawyer; all eyes whenever
be riz were on hint; there was a suthin'
peculiarsome about him.”
“What did you teach him to write
with?”
‘•Sometimes be would write with a piece
of charcoal, or the p’int of a burnt stick,
on the fence or floor. YVe got a little pa
per at the country town, and I made ink
out of the blackberry briar root and put a
little copperas in It. It was black, but
the copperas would eat the paper after
awhile. 1 made bis first pen out of a tur
key buzzard's feather; them's good lor
pen*. YY'e had no ge • them days. aTgt
in teamed to write be was scrawlin’ hie
name everywhere: sometime* he would
write It on the white sand down by the
criek bank, and leave it till the fresh
would idol It out.”
Ah, Dennis, thst name Is written now,
not iu vuud; high on the beroicVoll in Lib
erty's proud temple, above the names of
all save one. Next to the name of the Im
mortal YVasblugton blazes the signature
of the blameless ruler arid matchless man,
Abraham Lincoln. Tbat plant name it
now a kingller title than 1* worn on earth.
Y'es, that’* so, and rightly, too. Not f,r
bis greatness; no was nil the inatest
matt that ever lived, but lie was the bon
estest. 1 reckon lie never did a mean act.
I could see bo didn’t know how. an’ he
never learned.
“Did you have any idea of his luture
greatness?”
“No; It was anew country and be was
a raw boy; rather a bright and likely lad,
but the big world seemed lor ahead of
him. YVe were all slow-goin’ folks, hut
be had It in hint, thouxb we never sus
peeled It.”
"Did he take to hook* eagerly?”
"Xo; we had to hire hint first'. But when
he got a taste It was the old story—we had
to pull the sow's ears to g>-t'her tu the
trough and pull her tail to get her away.
He read u great deal and bad a wonder,
