How the farmers Of Wright county,
Iowa. drove away the grasshoppers is
revealed by the local papers. The
crops in that county were abundant
and the anxious husbandmen were in
hopes that these destructive pests
would not appear until after the har.
vest. At once they came, however, in
clouds that darkened the sun. BY a
preconcerted plan the farmers set fire
to piles of dry straw on the borders Of
the wheat fields, and smothered the
blaze with green hay. That caused
volumes of smoke to roll over the
fields. The grasshoppcrs didn't relish
the procedure at all. They rose with
such a multitudinous hum Of wings as
to deepen into a roar like distant thun-
der, and fled the country. In that way
the Wright county farmers have fair
prospect of saving their crops.

Perhaps some Of the most remarka'
BILE remains Of ancient engineering are

with water. About l5O years before
Christ, as we learn from a Roman In
scription, an immense aqueduct was
built to bring water from a neighbor'
ing mountain better supplied with that
element. We are furthermore told that
this aqueduct was $40 feet high, sup
ported upon arches and provided with
strong pipes. The topography OF the
country, moreover, assures us that the
water supply could not have been con

below the point of delivery, or under
q pressure Of at least ten atmospheres.
the excavations already alluded to
show that the aqueduct must have been
of large size, as the piers OF the arches
are not less tnan FIVE feet nine inches
| in breadth, while the total length OF
the syphon must have been between
four and five miles. The question nat.
urally arises-How, and OF what mate
rial was this syphon built? As iron
pipes of large dimensions, if OF any
dimensions at all, were not known at
that era, we must either look to mason
nv or wood work for the material OF
such construction. Possibly clue has
been found to the mode of their con
struction by subsequent discovery,

nos1Nc The BABY.-We have baby;
his name is Plea Gothic Other fami-
lies have babies, named this Or that,
but there is no baby like our baby.
He is generally in the best of spirits,
but the other day in looking him over,
my wife discovered that his tongue
was coated and that helhad a bilious
look TWAS down town, and when
came home the doctor had been there,
counted the baby's pulse, looked at the
tongue, and prescribed castor oil. My
wife had the bottle and spoon already
against my coming, and | took off my
coat, tied towel around my neck. and
took the child up. He hadn't the least
suspicion of what was coming until |
laid him on his back. Then he smelt
castor oil, and | couldn't keep him
down. AS fast as pushed one end
down the other, end bobbed up, and his
legs shot out like steam pistons.
Long Primer and Small Plea began to
cry, and / had to let the baby up and
give him a bottle and flat-iron to play
with until he recovered his composure.
Then we begancto practice strategy.
We gave him sugar in the spoon, then
milk. and then held it out full of castor
oil. He opened his mouth TO take it,
got faint bite, and he drew back, ut
tered yell, and spit it in Long Prim-
er's left ear.
Then we tried to bribe him. Of
fered him ten cents at first, but as he
paid no attention kept on until the Of.

horses, house and lot, million dol
lars, and a number of steamboats,; but
his blood was up, and be wouldn't lis.

popcorn, balls and gum drops, but
when he found that his getting them
depended on his first taking castor-oil
he turned away, knit his brows, and
calmly contemplated a grease-spot on
the wall paper.
Then threw him on his back and
-tickled him, and while he was off his
guard / slipped my hand along his
head and held his mouth open until it
resembled threecornered knot-hole in
a garden fence. All this time | was
trotting him, and whistling and sing
ing, and telling him about the boy who
stood on the burning deck, and he
thought it was all good joke. My
wife poured out the oil, crept up be-
hind me, and while,the baby was strain
ing his eyes to get glimpse of Small
Plea, over by the window, the spoon
went into his mouth.
1t was an awful moment. He got
the taste, rolled his eyes, grew red as
pain, And then ne bobbed his head,
worked his legs, and sent the whole
mouthful down behind my neck-tic.
At the same momentI got cnff on
the ear, the baby was snatched from
my lap, and Mrs. Quad went dancing
around the room with him crying:
