Hairy Caterpillar Soup a Dainty Luxury in South AmericaPeople Who Shudaer at It in North America Make No Bones of Eating the Hairy Cow. TTLE Florence read in her natural history book the othef day that some nations of South Amer ica made a very palatable and rich soup out of the hairy caterpillars that were found in that country. She took her shudder of horror to mamma and they both enjoyed a shudder together at the disgusting idea. But father, severely practical, looked up from his paper and said, to mamma: Which pTQuId you prefer to eat, a few spoonfuls of caterpillar soup-or a slice cut from the cow?" Then they did another shudder at-the thought of eating the kindly cow. There is nothing like getting used to an idea. Ve ry few people in this country object to eating the cow or the pig, but they will shudder at the idea of eating the caterpillar. But in India or China the idea of eating the pig or the cow is offensive. Somehow it -does not seem quite light when you take into considera tion the facts of killing, etc. But what are you going to do about it? Then there's that matter of hunting for sport. "Lowery's Claim," published in British Columbia, claims that hunting is a relic of the barbarism in man's nature The Claim says: "One of the most piteous sights is to see life pass out of the innocent, quivering, helpless grouse, quail, dove or other birds. Often these scenes are garnished with the cheers and laughter of the hunters, when beating out the brains of the birds that sharply cry and cling to their lives. The more humane and civilized mat),, becomes the more he will despise the killing for fun. Such amuse ment marks the low, savage instinct." How any man of genuine sympathy and kindly dis position can enjoy the killing of inoffensive innocents iB a mystery. Still other people like to wear beautiful dry goods with gold lace, etc., on it and go out and kill their fellow men. When we sit down and think these things out, we run against all sorts of trouble. If you are going to kill things or people you must not think much about it. If you think about it, it ruins your enjoyment in it. After a careful survey of the sweet pea crop our estimator finds that it has been cut about 26,000 blossoms by the frost of Sunday night. This, however, will occasion no crop shortage, as the acreage this spring was increased enough to offset the shortage i occasioned by the frost. The songmakers have not failed to grasp the situa tion and have been for some time turning out vast quantities of wh at is called the "San Francisco Pis aster Song," or in larger type, "Wait 'Till the Sun Shines, Frisco." The song tells how "on Wednesday morn, it was just at dawn, San Francisco got a shock,'' end later, how a cry of fire from the coast rose higher" and swings into this refrain: Walt till the sun shines, Frisco, tho stricken help is nigh. W will send succor, Frisco, don't you sigh Belief trains are fast speeding, Westward they will fly, Wait till the sun shines, Frisco, by and by! The telephone companies very shortly may be able to sing "hay to you, good day to you" to their strik ing linemen, for wireless telephoning is now a fact. Charles E. Alden's discovery of the secret has ooened up a new field of experiment and will doubl less do a great deal, in time, to rid the streets of di& figuring and dangerous wires and poles. It dawned upon Mr. Alden one day that if wireless telegraphy was so easy, the wireless telephone ought to be equally simple. He lost no time after this hint in construct ing a telephone along experimental lines. The instru ment was so small that he could put it in his ve3t pocket. It was attached to a wireless Marconi bat teiy. One evening a few weeks ago Mr. Alden set up his telephone in his studio on Martha's Vineyard island, and as he sat smoking his after-dinner pipe and wondering where he had better set up his sending appaiatus, he was startled by the sound of a voice in the room. Outside the storm howled along the coast and beat the waves against the rocks of the island. "Hello' Hello' Is that Mr. Smith? Yes? Come over this evening if you can." "All right. Good-by!" Mr. Allen sat bolt upright. Then he got up and went to the door. There was no one there. The little instrument on the table began to buzz again, and then came another voice, a different one this time. Mr. Allen realized the situation. His little instru ment was not waiting for his sending instrument to be set up, but was pilfering messages from the New England Telephone company's wire which ran along a road three miles away. Wild with delight, Mr. Allen rushed across lots and got some of his friends to come in and witness the success of his discovery. When they arrived this little apparatus was still busy disclosing neighborhood gossip.

"Do you remember said the balder man of the two, "the dialect stories of ten or fifteen years ago the magazine dialect stories, the work of Page and Hairis and so on, which we tried to regard as ar tistic?" "Do I remember?" said the other, and groaned. "Well," resumed the first, a new dialect torture has been invented, play dialect, and George Bernard Shaw, a man of real genius, is the criminal. Shaw's attempts to imitate the cockney and the American dialect are something incredible. Listen here." And the poet read from his notebook these exam ples of the cockney dialect of Mr. Shaw: Ahhow. Camfitncomforting. Eolthhealth. Narnow. Wrowtwrote. Yntain't. Kawdride. Evhave. Yeppnhappen. Paffickperfect. Wawwhy. Awskinkasking. "Imagine," said the poet, "coming across a page with those words jumbled up on itrawd and eolth and nar and yeppn and ev. You'd think you were reading Persian, wouldn't you? And now here is how Shaw makes his Americans talk." He read from the notebook again: Cawnsultconsult. Cawnstitootionconstitution. Sertnlycertainly. Eespawnsibleresponsible. Cawndooceconduce.

"That's a vest pocket directory of the house," Clerk McDowell re plied. The member ..examined it carefully.

WHY THEY SHAKE HANDS There are four reasons why women no longer kiss each other. First, it has be^n proven difficult for two persons wearing Gainsborough hats or their modifications to kiss. Second, the long flowing veils of the moment become a tangled mass of chiffon or net and the large velvet spots with too rough treatment easily become detached. Third, the complexion, unless ex ceedingly well made, is apt to smear, and the powder easily rubs off, pre senting a daubed effect. Fourth, the elaborate blouse and neck ruffles, with the multitudinous chains, etc., of modern dress decora tions, are easily crushed and quickly lose their pristine beauty. It is therefore considered bad taste to kiss in public, and so, since there must be some way of welcoming a friend, the manly handshake has come HAPPY PRINCESS ENA Joe Bing, he plowed four acres onct, By simply pickin' hops He done it all jest a day "With time for sev'ral stops He could as well a-kept it up A dozen days or more Where wuz it done?

Princess Ena is described as very tall, fair, of a round face, resembling the Duke of Connaught's when he was her age, and with the cheeks, chin and something of the mouth of Queen Vic toria when young. She is good-humored and inclined to hearty laughter. When the princess does not laugh she does her best to wear the air the queen preserves at drawing rooms. The eyes are not large or expressive, but not dull either, and rather agreeable. I would be hard to describe the color of her hair. Au tumn foliage as it turns from russet to pale yellow is comparable to it. ut a Parisian hairdreser would know how to cast sunbeams on it, as Augustus did on the "lively auburn" hair of the Em press Eugenie. Princess Ena is too much Queen Victoria's grand-daughter not to be as much in love (and for life) with Alfonso as he is now with her.

There is a flower, for instance, that turns into a fish. That is one of the fairylike facts of science. The flower in question is the stone lily, which grows to the size of a small tree in South American waters, tho it is very small off more northern coasts. Tho stone lily is a marine flower it lives under the sea and that is a lucky and convenient thing for the fisn it ultimately becomes. The fish it becomes is a starfish. There is a certain starfish born at the end of ft tentacle, an actual plant tentacle, that is attached to a stone or rock in the sea. This plant grows, and its starry blossom acquires size and strength. Finally, when it is capable of taking care of itself, the blossom detaches from its plant stem, and ^floats awaya flower no longer, but a fish. This is the encrinite, or stone lily, a fish-plant with a pedigree that shames the proudest human pedigree, for distinct traces of it have been found in rocks million years old. PRAYERS ON SAND GRAINS. ACKERAY could write the Lord's prayer on ft sixpense, which is the size of a dime, but it is now possible to write the prayer on a surface so small that one grain of sand would hide it completely. Microscopists sell copies of the Lord's prayer writ ten in a circle only the 500th part of an inch in diameter. To read the prayer it is necessary to us a lens magnifying 500 times. Writing so incredibly small is accomplished by means of levers six feet long. These levers are so adjusted that the motion is gradually lessened as it travels along them, till, when it reaches the delicate end, armed with a minute diamond pen that rests on a glass surface, it causes the pen to register on the glass writing so small as to be invisible.

The only remedy heretofore has been the libretto, but you don't care for this remedy because, reading the libretto, you lose the action on the stage.
