Epicurean Progrews.

St. Louis Gldbe-Democrat. There has been a great change in the sentiment of American epicures relative to crawfish and frogs as a dainty and choice diet. Ten years ago, outside of some of the metto poHtan eastern cities, the eating of crawfish was almost unknown, and even frogs were looked upon with what might be called semi-disgust. People could not be induced to handle frogs for fear they would get warts on their bauds. During re cent years, however, there has been a change all over theNJOuntrv on the subject, and it is doubtful' if the French can now beat the Americans as a frog-eating people. The same can also be said concerning crawfish.
