Ihe st. Louis Academy of Sciences
proposes to supplement the weather
Probabilities with u Department OF
sGrasshopper Probabilities. Professor
Riley, OF that body, thinks there will
be no difficulty in prophesying the
years when these will come, their num-
hers. and the direction their march
will take. The professors predictions
for the coming year are decidedly
gloomy:
The swarms OF Rocky Mountain To-
Gusts, though they came too late to
seriously affect maturing crops last
year, have laid eggs over la -ge parts of
Minnesota, Nebraska. Kansas and Col
-0rado, and in restricted portions Of
Iowa, Missouri, Texas and Arkansas.
Should nine-tenths OF these eggs be de-
a&royed, the remainder would hatch
enough young insects to destroy every
thing green In the regions named.
unlessgstep should be taken to prevent
su b q result.
He suggests, also. that next year they
would move on into Louisiana. Let US
prepare to meet them.

Packard's tax collector in Lafourche
tried the same game as his master, the
other day, with the same lack OF success.
When 1t was known that Grant had
sent d communication to Augur relative
to Packard, and that the latter with this
as o basis had Issued proclamation to
the Legislature TO dispense, this tax
collector followed suit and came out
with O. bold declaration that unless all
the merchants OF Thibodaux paid up
their licenses at once, their stores, with
y out exception, would be closed. The
tax collector then telegraphed to Pack
ard to hold the fort while, that he
would soon be able to furnish him with
money. But at the appointed hour, II
m, not merchant stepped forward,
nota dollar was paid, and not store
/ closed.
=. And now the tax collector has retired
into obscurity, convinced that he was
betting on bob-tail flush just as Pack
ard was, when he brought forth his
proclamation. -

The people Of Rockport, iD Texas, had
" case for the Returning Board work
the other day in the matter Of the cleo
tion on the whisky local option" they
call 1t. The vote cast at two Of the
polls were informal, irregular and, to o
certain extent, formal If these polls
were thrown out, the party of temper
anee would have triumphed by ma
jority of fourteen. The County Com
missioners debated the question long
time, as some OF the temperance people
advocated little Returning Board
and throwing out Of votes, but finally
decided In the following extraordinary
manner:
The citizens Of tho county--lt least
all those WHO cared TO express an opin.
ion by their yotes--had declared, by q
majority CT twenty-siX, that they were
opposed to prohibition. therefore it was
not right to prevent their voice from
being heard merely because OF some
technical omissions by their returning
officers. No mater how much we might
desire n measure to be carried, we
would scoru to accept u victory unless
won by The clear majority of free, un-
biased votes.
How strange.

Home-LIfe a Hundred Years Ago

One hundred years ago not a pond of coal nor cubic foot of Illuminating gas had been burned in the country No iron stoves were used, and no con trivances for economizing heat were employed until Dr. Franklin invented the iron-framed fireplace which still bears his name. All the cooking and warming in town and country were done by the aid of fire kindled on the brick oven. Pineknots or tallow can dies furnished the light for the long Winter nights, and sanded floors SUD- piled the place of rugs and carpets. The water used for household purposes was drawn from deep wells by the sweep. No form of pump was used in this country until after the commence ment of the present century. There were no friction matches in those early be easily kindled and if there fire went out upon the hearth over night, and the finder was damp so that the spark would not catch, the alternative re- mained of wading through the snow a mile or so to borrow brand of a neigh Dor. Only one room in any house was warm unless one of the family was i'll in all the rest the temperature was at zero during many nights in the Winter. The men and women of hundred years ago undressed and went to their beds in a temperature colder than that of our modern barns and woodsheds, and they never complained.

The Eye of Man.

Science gives us interesting details about what the human eye has been and what it may become. The Vedas of India, which are the most ancient writ ten documents, attest that in time the most remote, but still recorded in his tory, only two colors were known, black and red. A very long time elapsed be- fore the eye arrived at the perception of the color yellow, and still longer time before green was distinguished; and it is remarkable that in the most ancient languages the terms which designated yellow insensible passed to the significa- tion of green. The Greeks had, accord ing to the received opinion now, the perception of colors very well devel- oped and yet authors of more recent data assures us that in the time of Alexander, Greek painters had for fun damental colors only white, black, red and yellow. The words to designate blue and violet were wanting to the Greeks in the most ancient times of their history; they called these colors gray and black. It is thus that the colors of the rainbow were only distin- guished gradually, and the great Aristotle only knew four of them. It is a we'll known fact that when the colors of the prism are photographed there remains outside the limit of the blue and violet in the spectrum dis tinct impression, which our eyes do not
 recognize as color. According to phy- siologists, a time will come when the
 human eye will be perfect, so as to dis
 cern this color as well as the others.

A Brave Captain.

A good story of Prince Paskievitch: During the war of Warsaw he had or dered certain Polish battery to be silenced by his own artillery and be- came perfectly wild with rage on ob- serving that the artillery fire produced no appreciable effect. Galloping to the battery he asked: "What idiot is in charge here ?" "I, sir," answered the officer. "Then down you go to the ranks this very day." said Paskievitch :; ''you don't begin to know your trade !; your shells do not explode" ''I know they don't," answered the captain !; ''for the best of all reasons that they can't explode.,' "That's lie," said the Prince. els it? See for yourself, then," replied the officer, coolly pick ing up shell from the pile and light ing the fuse, and holding it up between himself and the Marshal. The Marshal tranquilly crossed his arms and watched till the fuse sputtered and went out. ''There sir," said the artilleryman, tri- umphantly, as he threw the shell one the ground. "You were right, after all," growled the Marshall" and rode away to another point of the line, but at night the Captain received at his tent the cross of St. Vladimir for bravery in the field.

Try Again.

Everybody makes mistakes. Things will not always come out just as we want them, because some little wrong thing is done, or something that needs to be done is overlooked.
 We'll, what then? Shall we get dls- couraged, and let things go as they will? Some people do; but such peo- pie have hard life of it. They think themselves very unlucky, and com- plain of their hard fate.
 The little fellow who is at work on his example in multiplication finds he has made a mistake. What does he do Drop his slate and go off fretting, and wishing there were no such things as bothers ome figures? No: he is puz- zled, but he knows there is a mistake somewhere, and he means to find 1t. "Try again." is his motto. He will be- gin again and go slowly and carefully through all the work. If he does not find the mistake then. he will do the same again, running through the lines of the multiplication table in his mind or making them by additions on his slate. He will hit upon the wrong and get the right, you may be sure. ....
