6 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 . home year* ago, wb< a the v "tated our dairy farm*, th, 2. uiv'a'i lo °* I,J ket'plng goal*, a* •ie*iiu?r 0r o w * 101 ,I|U bailor. But vm, Uem found that thev Und to buy—at whatever price—cow's ntilk 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, ful memo;y—wonderful. Never forgot anything.” “What church did A * attend?” “ 1 lit- llapt tsl. I’ll t, || you ’ a cirelint stance slump him.
