The birthplace of James Buchanan, the only President Pennsylvania has given the Nation, has at last been marked by a monument. It was 116 years ago that James Buchanan was born, near the village of Flotz, in Franklin County, at a place calied Stony Batter. Before the present monument was erected there was nothing about the cabin, in which the fifteenth President first saw the light of day, to indicate that it had once sheltered the only son of this State who became the head of the Nation. By the will of Harriet Lane John son, of Washington, D. C., niece of President Buchanan and mistress of the White House during her uncle's term, agsum of money was set aside to erect\a marker at her uncle's birth place. - This monument has _ been finished.. The marker is pyramidal in shape, thirty-one feet high and thirty-eight ABYSSINIA'S RULER.

The body of the monu ment is composed of native stones, showing the weather marks, many being covered with moss. The .stones are set in cement, of which over three and one-half carloads were used. The inscription plate and seat are made of hammered American gra’ granite. The plate is six by two and one-half feect and the letters are three inches high. The inscription is as follows: “This monument marks the birth place of James Buchanan, fifteenth President of the United States. Born April 23, 1791. Died June 1, 1868.” The monument stands near the cabin in which President Buchanan was born. The country round about is wild and has not changed greatly since the time the President, as a boy, played in the mountains. The mon ument will be inclosed by a neat iron fence and the ground inside will be graded and sodded for a distance of fifty feet.—Pittsburg Dispatch. Herds of Elk in Kansas, Up to fifty or sixty vears ago big game abounded in this vicinity. Buf falo, elk, deer, antelope and bear were ias plentiful as rabbits are to-day. ' During the later years of his life the famous hunter, Daniel Boone, came annually to what is now Jefferson . County to hunt. . The noted surveyor, John MecCoy, who surveyed the Fort Leavenworth reservation and most of the Indian reservations of Kansas, says: ‘“One evening on going into camp near Stranger Creek, on our way out, less than twenty miles from Cantonment Leavenworth, a herd of elk, estimat ed to number 200 or 300, was en countered, and several killed. (This was in 18%0.) Captain Martin in 1818 camped for the winter with three companies of United States riffemen on Crow island, ten miles above Leavenworth, and during that winter killed betwen 2000 and 3000 deer, besides great numbers of bears and turkeys.”’—Potter Kansan.

Probably few persons are aware that insects, as a group, cons.itute & source of food supply for the races of mankind. Yet insects have been eaten fronr time immemorial, some times figuring as luxuries, at dtl{:m as a staple article of diet. Perhaps the chief food insect—and’a very im poriant one, too—is the locust. It furnishes the favorite food of many numerous African tribes, some na tions living almost exclusively upon its teeming hordes. Locusts have been regarded as luxuries from the earliest times of which any records remain to us. In the British Museum there is a Ninevah 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. In the law of Moses, as set forth in the book of Leviticus, we find locusts permitted as food to the Jews; and to the present day, in Palestine, these insects are fried in sesame oil and eaten. In Arabia Petrea locusts are dried in the sun and ground into a kind of flour for cake-making. In Central Africa certain tribes make‘ them into thick brown soup. In\ Madagascar they are baked in huge‘ jars, then fried in grease and mixed ‘ with rice. In Algeria they are sim i ply boiled in water and salted to} Itaste. The Arabs grind and bake | them as cakes, roast them in butter,! or crush them with camel's cheesei l and dates; but it is said that they only resort to this fare in years ot‘ famine. In Southern Russia, where locusts are still extensively eaten by the serfs, the insects are usually‘ smoked in the first instance like fish. } When rgquired for consumption, the legs and wings are bro’ken off, and the bodies are then boiled, roasted, stewed, fried or broiled. ‘ According to Mr. P. L. Simmonds, who made an exhaustive study of Istrange kinds of animal food, the. flavor of locusts, while strong and disagreeable when raw, becomes mild | and readily disguised when cooked. In fact, from his own experience, and that of several of his friends wbom‘ he induced to partake of the fare, he assures us that a broth made by boll—‘ ing the unfledged Calopteri (a Rocky Mountain species) for two hours in‘ the proper quantity of water, and seasoned only with pepper and salt, is quite palatable and scarcely to be _distinguished from beef broth. From the same authority we learn that 10-’ custs, fried in their own oil, and with the addition of a little salt, have quite a nutty flavor, and are by no means unpleasant eating. Indeed, the fla‘or very quickly becomes an “ac quired taste,” and the experienced lo cust eater grows very fond of it. That a judicious course of locust fare is wholesome and nourishing cannot be doubted, for locust-eating tribes in variably grow fat when the food is plentiful. Moreover, it has been sug gested that these insects, nicely cooked and served, would prove bene ficial in cases of wasting disease. Apart from locusts, the most pop ~ular insect food consists of grubs and caterpiliars, of avhich many Sspecies are eaten with avidily in different countries of the civilized world. Few people realize that the grub of the common cockchafer (Melolontha);, when properly dressed, forms a nu tritious and actually dainty food. Yet such is unquestionably the case. Twenty years or 'so ago a hanquet was given at the Case (ustoza in } Paris for the special purpoze of dem \ onstrating the excellent qualities of the ver blanc, as this grub is called. The insects were fried to a golden brown color in a paste of flour, milk and eggs; and of the fifty guests pres ent, the majority called for a second helping. A recipe for cooking these grubs, which is still extensively em ployed in certain parts of France, is as follows: “Roll the: vers blancs, which are short and fat, in flour and bread crumbs, with a little salt and pepper, and wrap them in a stout piece of paper, well huttered inside. Place it in the hot embers, and leave it to cook for twenty minuteg, more or less, according to the degree of heat. On opening the envelope a very appetizing odor, exhales, which dis poses one favorably to taste the deli cacy, which -vill be more appetizing than snails, and will be declared one of the finest delicacies ever tasted.” ‘ That the ancient Romans were very partial to a ‘large wood-boringi grub as a dainty is certain, but exact- ‘ ly what this insect was has néver yvet been satisfactorily explained. 'l‘hc‘ Romans called it “Cossus;” but the Cossus of our day is the grub of the large goat mot}x, at times so destruc tive to fruit trees. This insect pos sesses a very objectionable odor, which seems to indicate an equaliy Horse Must Not Shy at Motor. Horses have no business to be fright ened at motor cars. Such is the lat est decision of M} Sere de Rivieres, the “Good Judge” of Paris. A case was brought before him by the own er df two horses which had been frightened by the passing of two mo tor cycies on one ot the public high ways in the Department of the Som me. The driver, in trying to master the horses, was run over by the cart. The owner sued for damages. The Judge decided they were not due, as horses ought to be trained %o as not to shy at the noises of motor vehi cles. If peasants had no motor ears to supply the object lesson, so much the worse for the peasants.—Paris Correspondent London Telegraph, unpleasant taste, so that it seems u.- likely that epicures of the past can have found in it any attractions. Some naturalists are inclined to re gard the grub of the Stag beetle as the original “Cossus,” and certainly its larva is sufficiently large to make a juicy mouthful, while there is no reason to suppose that it would prove less appetizing than the ver blanec. On the whole, however, the larva of the large wood-boring beetle known as Prionus seems most likely to have been the Roman dainty. It is found all over Europe. in half-decayed oak trees, grows to a great size, and un questionably possesses culinary possi bilities. 3 So far as the writer is aware, the only butterfly distinguished by sup plying food to mankind is the Aus tralian species called by the natives “Bugong.” Regularly every vear this insect congregates in vast swarms on the rock slopes of the Bugong Moun tains, and it is said that the natives light great fires beneath the trees upon which the butterflies have settled for the night, thus suffocating them and bringing them to earth. When a sufficient quantity has been collected, the fire is cleared away, and the insects are spread upon the heat ed ground and raked about until their legs, wings and feelers are singed off. The bodies are then pounded into a pulp in a wooden vessel, and after ward made into cakes. Among the insects that are eaten it is necessary to include the famous grugru, or palm grub, of the West Indies, with the allied species found in Java, These grubs, when roasted on tiny spits and richly spiced, are said to surpass all other kinds of ani mal food in flavor. This, however, appears to be an acquired taste, for the traveler Leblond, who ate them in the Isle of Reunion, says that at first he thought them disgusting, but that after a little time he grew aceus tomed to them, and found them ex cellent. , . Many other insects have been, and ‘are, used as dainties. The ancient Greeks were very fond of cicadas, or harvest fliess—insects of a very wide geographical range, whose shrill note is a familiar country sound throughout the Southern States dur ing the summer season. Cicadas are also eaten to-day by certain African tribes. The Greeks also were eaters of crickets; nor are these insects neglected at the present day, for the natives of a large portion of South eastern Africa dig up a large subter ranean species, and roast it over a bright fire for food. - In China, where almost every kind of animal food, whether predisposing in aspect or the reverse, finds a ready ‘market, the chrysalids or silkworms are regarded as a luxury by the lower classes. They are sold in the streets ‘—after the valuable cocoons of yel low silk have been removed from them—and find willing buyers at a price equal to about ten cents per pound. As to their edible qualities, nothing can be said, for no civilized being has proved bold enough to taste the dish. The mere fact that the chrysalids are relished by the Chinese goes for nothing, it heing impossible to place any confidence in the nationat palate of a Tace which actually raises the grubs of bluebottle flies in heaps of putrid fish near the seacoast, and values the produce mcre highly than the facility of obtaining it would lead us to helieve, \ It is related by M. Daguin that \French peasant children are in the ‘habit of catching wild bees for the purpose of sqeezing from thém the ‘minute store of honey which each has collected. This reminds one of the use made of the Mexican honey anz, Those who have paid any attention to the natural history of this remark able insect will be aware that certain individuals in its colonies have the power of drinkicg in an enormous quantity of sweet nectar, until they become converted into veritable honey pots. They are used, in fact, as honey pots, to which the other ants bring their surplus store of sweets, and from which they draw a supply when they are pressed by hunger. Now these ants, distended with sweet juices, are sold by measure in the Mexican markets, In conclusion, it may be said that all civilized races are insect eateys unconsciously, Therg is a small beetle, known as tie corn weevil, which infests grain to an enormous extent., It has been known to damage hopelessly a cargo of wheat worth SBO,OOO during the voyage across the Atlantic; while even the cleanest and best wheat, after it has been stored for a period, is almost certain to har bor at least a few of these pests. And when this wheat is converted into flour, the heetles are ground up with it, and thus become a part of our bread, cakes and confections.—¥rom the Scientific American.

In this instance handkerchief linen is finished with frills of the same and with bands that are scalloped at their edges, but madras gcan be used for such a waist as this, the cotton lawns are in every way desirable and for an entire gown such materials as dimity, figured batiste, lawns and the like are charming.. The elbow sleeves are both becoming and comfortable dur ing the warm weather, but long ones can be suitituted if a more severe effect is required.
