Two Hundred Bushels Of crickets.

In Bull Run Valley, New, the crickets
have played sad hayoc with the growing
crops. The ugly pests attacked one wheat
field of thirty acres and in an hour destroy 8
ed the whole crop, eating the stalks Oft b
close to the ground, and then marched on
to other conquests. Millions of crickets
that have been killed strewed the ground
for miles around, while vast numbers
found their way into the streams, and have
impaired most disagreeable flavor tothei
water, rendering it unfit for drinking. aa
p A novel means of cleaning out crickets i

leaving small holes in the bottom one for
the egress of water. This large sack is at

He is difficult man to describe. Abra-

The English language would never recover
from the shock of detailed and accurate
description of his general appearance, and
it would take Uncle John Robinson. in his

properly emphasize his political points and
peculiarities. He is as handsome as black
india-rubber baby drawn out to its greatest
possible length and its face pinched out OF

Big Salvage.

3
The most extraordinary story as regards
salvage, in maritime annals, is that of the
Lutine, frigate. She was originally
French war ship, carrying % guns. but was
subsequently captured by Admiral Duncan.
On October 8, 1889, she sailed from Vars
mouth Roads, bound for the Texel, laden
with a mass of treasure, in the shape of
bullion belonging to a number of merchants
and that same night she. was lost on the Is
land of Vlieland, and the whole of her Off
GERS and crew were drowned, with the ex-
ception of one man, who afterwards died
before reaching England. A letter was
afterwards written by Lloyd's committee to
the Admiralty, which, stated that : a sum
| of money equal to that unfortunately lost
in the Lutine is going off this night for
Hambro'.'' So that it is rather curious
that. as the amount was clearly known at
Lloyd's, no accurate information has ever
been obtained as to the value of the prop
| erty which was lost upon the sand banks at
the mouth of the Zuyder Zee. Ali sorts oi
fabulous stories have from time to time
| been current. But mp to the end of the
year 1901 e55, 700 worth had been saved
4 from the wreck. Then came q period o.
such stirring European events, that ths
Lutine being buried among the drifting
i sands of the North Sea, was well nigh for
/ gotten and then SO lately as 1857 and '5S
4 more treasure to the amount of e39, 900
j was realized. The original cargo, it ha
lbeen estimated, was worth 81 ,175, 900, AM
) therefore it is still possible that Lloyds ma
obtain yet more salvage from the wreck

Beautiful Ieweses at the Branch.

week and made, after a fashion, a trip to
the Holy Land. The husbands and lovers
arose at half-past five, bathed with their
faces toward the East or their heels in the
air, and, taking only cup of coffee, darted
off to New York. AT 10 o'clock the He
brew mother was up looking for her boys,
who were chasing the pig or the tom cat
across the lawn. The Oriental damsel was
reading novel, or placticipg a minstrel
ballad down at the piano, OR flirting with
Christian with pocket handkerchief.
They breakfasted light and went off to
bathe in plain muslin or bunting dresser,
blue being favorite color. Emerging from
the bath house, clad in bifurcated blue

drives the nail in the temples Of Holofer-
mes, but it is now only q toe-nail for we
see her milk-white feet, turned at the tips
like the shell Of an ivory snail, planted on
the sand like the base of a recovered Sphinx.
There she is, fresh as the riddle, the Sphinx
propounded. and older than its creation in
the undiminished vigor of her race. She
stands the type Of Miriam with her tabor
and Mary with her Joseph"

Cor. Ph,ladelphia ,Builetin.


There are really about ], 800 of the islands
and they extend distance of fifty miles.
They range in size from mere rock,
crowned with single tree, to large and
fertile islands that might hold cities. The
passage through and among them, espec-
tally in the early dawn, is truly delightful.
Their number is bewildering and the pros
poets that unfold themselves as the boat
glides over the placid waters are enchant-
ing. Fishing and duck-shooting are said
to be famous sports here. We saw numer-
GUS eneampments of gentlemen and ladies
who were engaged in these pastimes, and
notably one very large encampment that
had continued for more than six weeks,
and contained people from many of the
States, even from California.
But the most exciting part of our voyage
still was in prospect-she shooting of the
rapids. There. are eight or ten of these
between the Thousand Islands and Mon
treal. Some are quite small and tame
after the first curious sensation of going
down hill on a steamboat has been expe-
rienced but some are grand and terrific in
tile extreme. Cedar Rapids especially
present sight hardly inferior in breadth
and tumult to the rapids above Niagara
Falls. # you can imagine going in
steamboat through the strongest surf that
is ever seen at Cape May, and going rap
idly down hill at that, you will have some
idea Of the passage Of Cedar Rapids. Tho
height Of the, surges is very great. In the
midst OF. the descent the river makes a
clear drop of about four feet over a ledge
of rock through which our pilot found
way invisible to me. A curious effect is
caused by the &C white caps" being all
turned up stream. ..-.
After sunset we approached the head of
the last and most dangerous of all the
rapids, Lachine. AS we drew near the
Indian village of Caughnawaga, on the
southern shore, every eye was eagerly on
the lookout for the canoe Of Baptiste, the
the old Indian pilot Of the Lachine. Rapids.
For forty years he has piloted vessels
through this dangerous passage. No
steamer ventures down unless he is at the
wheel. At last he came in sight and rap
idly boarded our craft. He was verify the
observed Of all observers. A tall, we'll
built, well-preseryed man of about sixty
years Of age, with not very decided Indian
features, but with look of intelligence
and firmuess about him that at once in
spired every one with confidence in him.
In a few minutes more we, were in the
midst of the whirl and turmoil of the
rapids. At one moment we seemed to be
inevitably dashing upon a large rock which
lay directly in our course, and which was
mercilessly lashed by the surges, but
sudden turn of the wheel brought us by
that also, and soon we were in placid water
again, and before many minutes had
elapsed we had passed beneath the mag
