THE GRASsHOPrERS.-We see in our
exchanges that the grasshopperS are
taking wings and flying away, and we
note elsewhere IN instance in this coun-
ty. In this Immediate vicinity they have
not yet obtained sufficient size for this,
and it is probable will not for Il week or
ten days yet. In this place they have
made II clean sweep Of the gardens
not II is lctt-and the raising of ve~e-
tables is impossible save in hot houses,
or under glass, secure from their intru-
sion. They are now laying siege to the
the trees, the leaves Of which are fast
disappearing, and If these ravages con
tinue ten days longer, and it is suppos-
ed they will, the fruit question will re-
ceiye the same solution rs the Ycgcta-
BILE. We think we 90 not oycrstate the
matter, from what we daily hear III our
streets, when we say that the wheat,
rye, oats. corn, and timothy, OF two
thirds Of the farms in Andrew county,
and almost the entire range, have fallen
L prey to thciryoracity. The desolatcd
portion Of the county embraces the
southern two-thirds-the northern por-
ton seems to have escaped their visit.
Nodaway county, also, seems to have
escaped their visitation, save in Il few
districts.

Kind Words.

There is an island in the Atlantic
beautiful and crowned with all of the
glories of tropical climate. So null
titudinous and fragrant are its flowers
and plants that the travellers approach
to this fair land ia known, by the deli
cious odor, which reaches him while
miles away. How pleasing to the tired
sailor must this Indication be How
charming to know that although yet
far away, anchorage is at hand. To
such an one the language of these
flowers, acts as do encouraging words
sometimes, to one almost devoid of
hope.
We can estimate the power Of kind
word, smile or pressure of the hand
1t is Bayard Taylor, believe, who in
one of his interesting books, speaks of
the kindly greeting which falls from
the lips Of the peasantry in Europe to
travellers and strangers. When read
ing of this class Of people how our
hearts warm towards them, how we
wish for the return of their ''God
bless you"
Daily, we read of and eulogize olden-
time martyrs, Macarias, offerings
upon the altars of sacrifice.
Yet, daily, are greater sacrifices
made, which bring no shouts of ap-
plause no sympathetic tears. Many
an eye while reading the touching lines
of .dThe Song of the Shirt, ''or Beau
tiful Snow" is blinded with tears, yet
turns coldly aside if brought into
actual proximity with the prototype of
either piece.
We know so little of the thousands
who wander this broad earth, friend
less and alone. so little of the unend-
ing labor, which does not always bring
bread to the hungry.
We realize so little the temptations
that beset the outcasts and, alas still
less their want Of power to Withstand
these temptations. Yet how many of
us sit in Judgment How many grudge
the world of sympathy, the friendly
smile. What matter if we stand mp
right, towering far above the vast null
titude Of suffering sad humanity"
Does not the oak, gray with moss
and grand in the strength, give deep
shade to the timid violet? Does not
its trunk support the clinging vine ?
Its strong branches afford safe resting
places for woodland birds?
Surely no man has greater reason to
look with compassion upon the weak
and tempted, the unsuccessful and dis
heartened, than he who, far beyond his
fellows in the upward race Of life, can
bravely resist the storms which sweep
around him, and from the height of his
superiority treat as trifes the gales
which make shipwreck of the lives of
other men. Gather around your gleam-
ing hearthstones all that is bright and
beautiful I; but leave the windows un-
curtained. and, perhaps, the light
which floods your home with bright
ness, may chase away the darkness
from the path of some wanderer.

A Delightful Legend.

There is a charming tradition con-
nected with the site on which the
temple to Solomon was erected. 1t is
said to have been occupied in common
by two brothers, one of whom had q
family the other had none. On the
spot was a field of wheat. On the
evening succeeding the harvest, the
wheat having been gathered in shocks,
the elder brother said to his wife :
my Younger brother is unable to bear
the burden and heat Of the day. /
will arise, take of my shocks and place
them With his, without his knowledge.
The brother being actuated by the
same benevolent motives, said within
himself "My elder brother has a
family. and 1 Laye none. 1 will con-
tribute to their support /; 1 will arise,
take of my shocks and place them with
his, without his knowledge"
Judge of their mutual establishment
when on the following morning they
found their respective shocks undimin-
ished.
This course of events transpired for
several nights, when each resolved In
his own mind to stand guard, and solve
the mystery. They did SO, when on
the following night, they met each
other halfway between their respective
shocks with their arms full.
Upon ground hallowed by such ssso-
citation as this was the Temple of King
Solomon erected-so spacious, so mag
nifcent, the wonder and admiration of
the world. Alas in these days how
many would sooner steal their brothers
whole shook than add to it a single
sheaf

Husbands and Home. Made
shirts.

A day or two ago, while crossing the
ice, we overheard two ladies talking
about a new dress, and one of the ladies
remarked that, when / tried it on,
asked Rob if it was good fit about the
waist, and he replied, "When, should
say not. 1t fits about as well as a home
made shirt" There was volume in
Rob's reply. As a rule, homemade
shirts don't fit at all. They will draw
in at the back and over the shoulder to
that extent that a fellow don't know
whether he is incased in a shoulder
brace or a strait jacket.
The neck-band may not go twice
around and tuck in behind, but it
usually laps about three inches, or else
it is cut so low in the neck that twenty
four inch collar is required to reach the
collar-button. In leaning forward when
sitting, the bosom crushes in at the
sides and projects in the middle, look
ing more like badly demoralized dust
pan than anything else. The sleeves
are so short that the large, twenty five
cent pair of cuff. buttons, selected with
great care, either tickle q fellows
elbows, or dangle around his finger
nails, never arriving at the extremes
The skirts are generally of an ab-
breviated character, making the affair
resemble an overgrown roundabout.
Men do not like to find fault, knowing
that their wives meant well enough, and
worked hard in making the garments,
but, when away from the house, they
do not hesitate to say that the desire Of
their hearts is that their wives should
go out of the business.-7roy Times.

The source OF Salt.

The sea depends on the disint egra-
tion of rocks on land for salt. 1t does
originate in oceans and seas. Rains
wash it and hold it in solution as par
ticles are liberated by violence, decom-
position, and gradual action of many
natural forces. All streanlets and
rivers, therefore, are constantly trans
porting salt to the sea. If there is
more than can be held in solution then
it accumulates in masses at very deep
points. Thus the salt mines Of Port
land and the vast horizontal beds of
pure salt in Texas, as well as that noun
tain of rock salt in st. Domingo, were
collected at the bottom of ancient seas
which are now dryland remote from
water. There are places in Africa
where the process Of disintegration Of
salt from rock is regularly going on,
but there is not water power enough to
force it onward to sea. Hence the par
ticlee are spread abroad and mixed
with the soil. The negroes of North
ern Africa having discovered its distri-
button where there is no water to dis
solve in the ground, leach it. In that
way they separate the salt. Salt per-
vades the earth. 1t exists in the
grasses and most vegetable products
on which animals feed. In that way
they derive enough in most countries
to meet the demands Of their natures.
They require as much as civilized
humanity. With them salts is neces-
sary, as with ourselves, for keeping the
organs Of vision in good condition.
Stay the supply. and blindness would
ensue.

of queen regnant, while the wife OF a
king has the highest rank and dignity,
after her husband, assigned her by law !;
and while it is no doubt always in the
power of queen regnant to give her
cOnsort precedence at home over all her
subjects by placing him next her per-
son, her power stops there. The status
il due to her personal favor alone, and,
if acknowledged by other royal per-
sonaees, it is so merely by courtesy. A
bill was introducedin in Parliament giving
the Prince precedence for life next after
the Queen in Parliament or elsewhere
as her Majesty might think proper |;
but, after much debate. Parliament re-
fused to give him any distinctive title,
and left the question of precedence to
the royal prerOgative. 1t was not until
1857 that the title and dignity of Prince
COnsort were conferred upon him by
royal letters patent. This omission gave
rise to endless vexatiOns, especially
when the Queen and her husband were
abroad. The position accorded to him
at foreign courts the Queen always had
to acknowledge as q grace and favor
bestowed upon herself by the sOver-
eigns whom she visited. Several SOW
erelgns positively refused to crafty
her wishes in this respect, and the only
one who was courteous enough to do SO
without an offensive show of doing a
favor was the late Emperor of the
French Even i'm England annOyances
constantly arose from the want of par
liamentary action on this question.
The Princes right to occupy the seat
next the throne when Parliament was
opened or prorogued was questioned by
the Duke of Sussex and others; but
the Queen. supported by the Duke OF
Wellington, quietly ignored the inter-
ference. "Let the Queen put the Prince
where she likes" he said. The great
Duke had not much liberation for the
traditions of court etiquette when they
conflicted with the dictates of common
sense. The late Lord Albemarle, when
Master of the Horse, was very sensitive
about his right in that capacity to sit In
the sOvereign's carriage ON state Occa-
sions. "The Queen" said the Duke.
when appealed to for his opinion, "can
make Lord Albemarle sit at the top of
the coach, under the coach, behind the
coach, or wherever else her Majesty
pleases.n
The marriage took place at the chapel
of st. James's Palace on the 10th of
February, 1910. Ii was very popular
with the people, because it was not one
of political convenience, but of pure
affection, and thousands lined the roads
from Buckingham Palace to Windsor
Castle to see the Queen and her hus-
band as they passed. The morning of
the day had been wet, foggy and dis
NAL. but there was not wanting soon
after the ceremony the happy omen of
that sunshine which came afterwards
proverbialIy to be known as Queens
weather. Whatever annOyances came
TO the Queen and her c0nsOrt from that
day TO the hour of the Princes death
came from the outside. Their home
life was always happy. From the day
of his betrothal to the Queen, Prince
Albert held unwaveringly to the high
course of life he had marked out for
himself-a course that gained him the
and affection of the people
and the name of ALBERT the Good

Chinese Leser d e m ain In
COOKERY.

The reports of the last annual banquet
of the Chinese residents of San Fran
cisco make entertaining reading. The
perfection to which the Chinese have
carried their cooking was a matter of
surprise to the American guests present.
During the first course an orange was
laid at the plate of each guest. The
orange itself seemed like any other
orange, but, on being cut open, was
found to contain within the rind five
kinds of different jellies. One was at
first puzzled to explain how the jellies
got in, and, giving up that train of
reflection, was in a worse quandary to
know how the pulpy part of the orane e
got ont. ColOred eggs were also served,
in the inside of which were found nuts,
jellies, meats and confectionery. When
q Celestial was asked to explain this
legerdemain of cookery, he expanded
his mouth in q hearty laugh, and shook
his head and chucklingly said: "Meli-
can man heap smart; why he not findee
Outin Every luxury of the "Melican
mans market was served turkey,
chicken, quail goose, duck, pigeons,
prairie chicken, deer, antelope, and
numberless other game were served,
together with the usual allowance of
Champagne.

Gathering Samphire.

This perilOus trade is extensively
practiced in the Isle of Wight; it is
small succulent plant, found in abun-
dance in the hOllows of the cliffs, and
is much used throughout England as a
pickle. The chief inducement its coll
ectors have to follow the risky calling
is, we are told, the hopes of at the same
time securing the eggs and feathers of
the various sea birds which build their
nests on the lodges and in the crevices
of the cliffs, from the sale of which a
good profit is derived. In order to get
at either samphire or eggs, the men fas-
ten rope to an iron bar, which they have
driven firmly into the ground, and then
placing themselves on a a rude seat
formed of two pieces of wood placed
one across the other, they lower them
selves by means of second rope down.
the face of the cliff. The practice
seems 10 be extremely dangerous, and
many persons have lost their lives
while engaged in it. Myriads of elder
ducks, gnlls, cormorants, DAVIS, razor
bills, pullins, guillemoss, ETC., haunt the
cliffs, and when gun or pistol is fired
they rise suddenly from q thousand
cavities until the very air is darkened
with them
