My Lady's Satchel.

By T.K.

When told that; " absetioa makes the heart grow fonder," 1 uaed to believe Ir, and may qnote my favourite poets to you, but you tatee no notice, nevur even thank me for the trouble I have been at in! writing to you at all! It wss quite a solace to be remarked by iraeb a kind contributor as " Watch man " You, my dear boy, I suppose did not even read the appropriate lines he inserted In your evening p>iper, They have a J R Lowell tone about them, It ia certainly apropos of the seaeon to remind us that it ia good to spring-clean the head and heart us well R6 the house 1 *' To brush the cobweb from your head and sweep the mow bank from yonr heart." A mental and moral renovation is recommended in bright, homnly, American fashion. 1 Hka " Plant flowers in the soul's front yard." " Sat out new shade and blos som tree?," because, of course, if you never will plane trees, you never can gather fruit. I read lately in a Book of Wisdom "The fruit of the spirit (or soul's orchard) is love, joy, peace, lon«~ Buffering, gentleness, goodueas, faith, tneekoesF, temperance." Pleasant fruit to gather in oue'a own garden, but they neted cultivation, and I fear that 'modern culture'does not consider them to come within its field ; by the way, I was very much amused and interested to find in ' The Spectator'—that is Addison'a 'Spec tator '—the expression ' modern cul ture,' which, I fancy some of m imagined was a term of Matthew Arnold's own coining

We are ao accustomed to telephoning to oar green grccer for our fruit that we forget that there aro tuch places as orchards—forget that they are possible. Wo aeqaire a taste for acrid oranges and mouldy bananas-— we prefer to Import oor fruit it is so cheap and— nasty, In like manner when we feel the need of ' Love, joy, peace,' n.nd all those other sweet fruits-— and who does not? We goto the theatre io have our emotions stirred. We rrad the latest, weakest, shall I say its more corrupting fiction. We, who have I a healthy,, wbolesomp, taete for borne-grown fruit, vitiate It byj consuming these musty, mildewed, Injurious importations ; fictitious fruit, even when a good, clean, wholesome representation of the real, c m only be compared to a ba-sket of wax fruit—or of eoap ! You should see Pear's, (the name ia appropriate isn't it ?) exhibit of soap fruit, goodly to look upon, but not pleasant to the taste, yet it is clean. If we would really enjoy fruit, we must * raise' it ourselve?. Buy our own ground, fence it, dig it, trench it, plant it, clean it, care for it ourselves, then we can have plenty for ourselves and onr households and our friend?, and our neigh boa re. Any more than that yon can put an apple or two in your pocket for your horse, and need cot grudge the birds their share. An old fashioned writer saya •' I hold that any householder worthy of the namp, will prr-pars a email plot; of ground for his wife and daughters, and that he will, oat at love to them, make it all they can wish or desire. It is these little things that make home pleasant and attractive ; and it is the lack of theso that has driven many a loving heart out into the world, and away from a sterile, barren home." . . The fatuity is seldom unhappy whose dwelling is surrounded with shady tree?, acd whose garden ia gay with cultivated plants. Bo not;, then, I beseech you, forget the little flower garden and orchard out of the bright, breezy lines contributed by *' Watchman." I get two admonitions. * Buy a broom' and * Raise your own fruit 1'

Some Dainty French Dishes.

A French entomologist,M Dagin,recom mends insects ac an article of food. Ha ■peaks with authority, having not only read through the whole literature of insect eating, bub hating himself tatted several hundreds of species raw, boihd, fried, broiled roasted, and hashed. He has even eaten spiders pre pared according to the following recipe : 1 Take » plump spicier, remove the lorp, and bkin. Rob over with butter, and swallow.' However, he does iiot reoom' taend them, bat (his m>y be prejudice on his part. He states two obj.ciicns to spiders. They are not inatcts, and they feed on animal food. Cockroaches are » foundation for a delicious soup. M Dagin follows the recipe given by Senator Tesce* lin in a speech delivered in the Senate on Feb. 12, 1898 : ' Pound your cockroaches In a snoftiit; put in a sieve, and pour in boiling water or beef stock.' Connols' ■ears prefer this to real blsquo. M Wilfred oe Fonveil'e, the French Bcien isb prefers the cockroaches in the larval sttfte. The pec.feet fnseot may be shelled and ea'en like a fchrimp ; tbab way Doctor Gaßtier,member of the National Assembly In 1818 need to eat them. Caterpillars are a light food of easy digestion. Not only African and American native races but Frenchmen appreciate thtm, Mdc Lalande, astronomer, had dinner every Saturday with tfle zoologist, Quatremere dl jnavalle. Madam© d'lsjonvalle, who knew bis taste, collected in the afternoon all the caterpillars she could find in her garden and served them on a plate to her gaepb The most popular insect food ia the locust Ie is ea'eii fried, dried In the sub, ground in flour, broiled (among the Bidom), boiled in milk (a Morocco recipe] or fried and served with rice aa in Mid* gascar. The Jesuit Father O*mbone thinks that locust flour might become In Europe as a condiment. Travollera' opinions on locusts differ. Amicis finds they taste like shrimps, Klebuhr like eardinea, Livingstone like caviare.
