J Our town and its vicinity have been () considerably shaken up during ine t| past week because of the report and H existence of small pox, alias Cuban n itch, alias elephant itch, alias chicken j pox. On the strength of It a meeting i>f council was held Thursday night, a no decided action waa taken, aod a p citizens' meeting was called for the a uext day, which was alteu*ied by a a number of our leading men. The mat- lf ter was discmwedand a decision reach* H( ed as to what was best to be done. The w tbiug, what ever it is, has Damn M| Booug i to kill it. It, or the fear of it, 4 baa already brought about a big revival in vaccination, some two or tbree al hundred having already been vaccinal- 8t ed. While those who have had it, (si* (t moat entirely negroes) it has been very a light, many not going to bed at all ri What it is, ia hard to say. Because of the above our County Au- ? iitor was asked by the council to" post- f)" pone coining to this place (he was to bave been here Wednesday and Thure- p Jay to take tax return**), as his being j, bere would bring* good many white u and colored, people from the country, j( &nd this might do much towards a spreading it.

The Mass is called by tb? < nnntrv neoole the "Ma<? for the ani* aals." A writer describing it, nays: "The churches in those comparative- < y wild regions are generally few and ir between , and are built often ou ligh rockn overlooking plains, where here are many poor villagers, one iburch and one humble priettt doing uty for several of these hamlets.

Tbe inner decoratious, thoroughly u keeping with tbe outside of this ountain chapel, consisted of crude, aluost primitive paintings, and of,a set f high woo<leu candlesticks, and some arthen va?es filled with pine branch? whicb stood on the altar. The buildng was crowded with stalwart mounaineers, clad iu their fentive attire, ach of them holding a lighted caudle if coarse, yellow wax, glimmering like iuy stars, and every man and womuu ingiug au old Cevenol hymn.

"None" is i contraction of "no one," and thereore of singular number. Don't separate the infinitive by sayng, "He tried to quickly go." Hay 'He triod quickly to go." or "He tried ;o go quickly," whichever you may nean Don't mix tenses, such as "He said he play will ba produced to-morrow." lVrite"He said the play would be proiuced to-morrow" or "He says the (day will be produced to-morrow."

I Yoar correspondent baring had the rivilrge of investigating the kinds of I jod eaten by tbc native people of tb?? i 'hilippine Islands some interesting infor- < mtioii may Ik* given concerning the way . i which tbc Filipino make* up a good , inner at low cost. i'robably the inoxt amnion article of food, that would not e desired by Americans or others than tie Filipinos. is the grasshopper. In liese islands the grassbopi>ers not only < row in greut number*, but the size of lie insect is large. There arc those who | lake a business of catching the grass* | oppcr during the best season for them, rhicb is in May, June, July and later. There are several methods used by the stives for catching grasshoppers. The | lost effective is the net. 'fhis is a large atterfly net. arranged with netting placd over a hoop, and to the latter is fixed long handle. The native takes this , andlc and with the mouth of the net torard the grasshoppers be rashes forth, 'figging considerable mini Iters at etch un. Tbc grasshoppers always go in warm*, except tbe adrance guard and he stragglers, and if anything occurs to listurb their flight they get confused and omhle into bags readily or fall into tbe >pen mouths of nets. lTi<y fly so closely hat they cannot well escape, as wbcu hey turn slightly out of their course they ome into contact witk other grasshoppers next to them. Grasshopper catching is a profitable Kiainess in the Philippines. Grasshoppers aell at $2 per sack, gold, in t?? argrr cities of tbe islands, where the people do not hare a chance to get at the inlects in the field. Tbe sacks of the inands bold about a bushel. Tbe grasstopper in a regular article in the markets [or the entire year, as, after drying out, he hopper can be kept indefinitely. It rn In tko nnnratinn of rlrvinir that th# grasshopper is made eatable. I never taw a native eat a green grasshopper, >ot I have seen them eot the dried oae? jy the pocketful on the Ktreet or in company at entertainments and by the diih'ul at the table at their homes. Your rorrespondent has tried the prepared grasshopper and has experienced no serf>ua results. The hopper is first so thoroughly dried Kit in the heat of tbe sun or in the bake>ven that there is nothing left that is really objectionable, and a nice, crispy irticie of food results. This tastes sweet if Itself and something like ginger snaps, rbe natives usually sweeten the grasshoppers more by using a sprinkling of Drown sugar. Then the confectioners nake op grasshoppers with sugar, chocolate trimmings and colored candies In inch a way that a very nice tasting piece ?f confectionery is obtained. The housewife of tbe Philippines takes considerable delight in placing before fou a nice grasshopper pie or cake. The grasshopper pie is the most wonderful dish, as the big hoppers are prepared in such a way that they do not lose their form or anv of their Darts. Another article of food which is relished by the natives is procured by collecting large quantities of moths from the rocks of the mountainous regions. In Kveral spots in the mountains in Panay ind other islands of the southern portion of the Philippine group I saw moths existing so thickly in the rocky tissues that they could be scraped off into buckets by the quart. The moths seemed to mass in the crevices and there hsng. One could Bet a barrel of the moths in a very short while. The natives have not failed to invest!rate the worth of the moth as an article of food. Their mode of catching consists in going to the hills in parties of a doxen or more with the proper bags and articles for collecting the moths. The scraping process is used in some sections of the Islands, while in Xegros isle I noticed that they adopted a different scheme. Here they spread a bamboo net on the ground beneath an overhanging colony of the moths and then proceeded to disturb the insects with the point of a spear or piece of bamboo. The little insects Iom their bold and drop to the mat They are slow of action, and before they can crawl away the game is bagged. The dainty natives will not eat the wings or the beads of the littlo moths, and so they now take steps to remove these objectionable parts. This operation consists in creating heat to such an extent that the tissues in the heads and * * AfMimhln nff wings WCOTDf Iiuacvi auu vi uui??. ?. Often the moths in their present stage of preparation are eaten with.some sugar or with other articles of food. Again, the moths are used in conjunction with other mixes of food in the form of pudding and prepared dishes. Tbe cocoanut is liberally used in mixtures with the moth and cocoanut cake ajid pie, and moth fillings are common. Tbe horrible bat of the islands, which here grows in many cases to tbe size of tbe American chicken hawk, is also eateo in some sections of the Philippines. The best classes of natives, however, do not eat the bats. The mode of catching the bats is peculiar. The cities, town* and barrios of all of the islands of the Philippine group are quite overrun with bats, which fly through tbe streets at night in large numbers. They fly slowly and seem incapable of dodging articles in their path. Therefore the native takes a long pole, puts a sort of combination hooked arrangement at the top and takes position in a street, and with the pole held - -'?? tint? to come alons and I trrvvi noiu> 4v. _ bump into the hooked portion. As the I native sees a bat coming be plans to hare the book in its path, and as be mores the pole, so as to bring the hook into contact with the head of tbe*bat, the latter usually strikes it with a bang and drops to the earth stunned, when the native proceeds to promptly put the bat to death. After standing in this position for nn hour or j more the native has a little pile of bats at bis feet. These he takes to the market! the next day and receives about 2 coats each for them. The bats are eaten only in small part. The wines, bead and. in fact, all but a small portion of each side are thrown to waste.?Scientific American. "Whip Dog Vaya." There is a curious old custom still extant in the city of York. England. St. Luke's day, Oct. 18, is known as "Whip I Dog day," when it is allowed to whip any j dog thug la fouud on the street.

Positively avoid a habitual diet composed too exclusively of one kind of food, Huch as meats or cereali. Such el diet lea<ls luevitably to disease. Many caw* of slcknera, palpitation*, leurvy, skin diseases and headache are directly due to tbis improper diet. Bear in mind that augar and all sugared or nirupy substance*, unless iparingly used, are the most injurious of the foods in ordinary use. They render digestion imperfect and by their seductive taste are liable to induce overeating. Eat sparingly of fruit, preserve*, real, pork, youug lamb, kid, bam, baron, susar. vinegar, spices, fata, oils, fried foods, pastries, cakes, rich desserts, strong gravies, hot freshly baked bread and foods which form adherent pastes. Avoid cold drinks at mealtime, except in hot days Avoid uncomfortably hot drinks. Avoid eating at irreg alar hours. Never overrule your appetite, which Is the best Index of the amount of food yon need, except la the course of diaeoaes that require a special diet Satisfy your appetite, not your gluttony; satisfy your thirst, not your craving. Salt your food sufficiently, because salt is an aid to digestion, but not more than needed to suit the taste. Eat less rapidly and chew your food more. The stomach wants only well chewed food. The teeth were made for that special purpose. If they are poor or miming, seek the dentist's aid. Avoid violent exercise and severe mental exertion just after meal, but a moderate exercise, as walking, will aid digestion. * Wash your hands with soap and water before each meal, even if the? do not appear unclean. Brush your teeth Inside and outside at least once a day, and rinse your mouth after each meal. When your stomach Is out of order, give it a rest by fasting half a day or by taking only a Utile fluid food. Remember that the whoiesomest meats are beef, mutton and poultry and that beef and mutton are most easily digested and wholesome when broiled, roasted or stewed, not fried. Remember that pure water is the most natural and wholesome beverage. glass of pure water every morning before breakfast will go far toward preventing sickness and extending life toward the century mark. , How to Make Tarlter Shortcake. Blake a biscuit dough and bake It in a shallow square tin, as for fruit short- * cake. Take one cupful of cold turkej, minced; best with one cupful of gravy and season with one-half teaspoonful of salt and one saJtspoonfnl of pepper. When the crust Is done, split and pat the meat between the layers, poor the noce over It aiul garold. wlU How t? Make Potato Vests. Lattice potatoes are an excellent accompaniment to the fish course and after a few trial efforts are easily prepared. Wash and pare the potatoes and let them stand for a time In ice water. Cut them into very narrow strips, throwing them into ice water as they .'.1 are cut Then drain and thoroughly dry enough to pack into a strainer which is about the sise of a teacup and force into the middle of the potatoes a smaller strainer. Pry this in deep, ery hot fat When a golden brown, remove the two strainers and stand the potato nest on soft brown paper. Repeat the process until there is a nest for each person. Before serving place them on a tin in the oven to heat. Fill the nests with fish a la relne and serve on a bed of cress. ~ . 9 Daw to lbk? Tooth Powaor. Take half an ounce each of powdered orris root and prepared chalk and add to them one teaspoonful of blear- _ ^ bonate of soda. Mix thoroughly. Thesoda sets as an antladd and neutralizes the acids of the mouth, while the chalk ?nd orris are gritty enough to remove any particles of food which may cling to the teeth. 1 How Co TrMt tho Lip*.
