The Seventeen-year Locust.

TROY, N. Y, May 6.-Reports from
some parts of Rensselaer, County
state that the seventeen-year 10
Gusts have appeared in vast
numbers thus early in the season. In
1860 they did not come until June, but
they remained until autumn. In the
vicinity of Greenbush they are increas-
ing in number daily, and the well re-
membered din made by the wings or
vocal organs of the insects in 1860 is
heard on every side. The locust first
makes its appearance in a large grub,
coming out of the ground backward.
Its wings soon unfold. when it at once
attacks the nearest tree. The ravages
of the seventeen-year locust are confined
entirely to the trees. They make deep
grooves the entire length of the smaller
branches and twigs, which soon cause
the foliage to die and turn yellow. The
locust is over an inch long, and is for
midable looking insect. 1t has no re-
semblance to the grasshopper locust, but
looks more like a huge beetle. The back
of its head bears marks that form plain
letter w. This is the third time the
seventeen-yearl ocusts have been known
to make their appearance in this coun-
try, in 1913, 1860, and the present year.
They were so thick in the first mention
ed year that they were destroyed and
hauled away by the bushel by farmers
and others, who thrashed the trees
From all appearances they will be very
numerous this year.

Swindling English Butchers.

English people often refer to "woOd-
en- nutmegs" and " sawdust hams," in
tending thereby to insinuate that the
Yankee nation are given to tricks which
true-born Britain would hesitate to in
dulge in. Not long since mention was
made of an incident which occurred on
an English race-course. During the run
a sudden rain storm came up, and when
the leading horse had pulled up past the
post it was2 discovered THAT he was all
streaky and striped. A swindle had
been attempted, but the colors were not
waterproof, and the bright bay turned
out to be a speedy roam. An incident
of like nature, also tending to show
the true side of the British nation, has
just occurred. 1t seems that the car
cases of sheep supplied at WandswOrth
to large firm have for some time past
been sent in with their heads on, SO as
to insure that the mutton was South
down. The other day one of the sheep
thus supplied was unfortunately caught
out in the rain, and before the attend
ing messenger could put it under cover,
its painted complexion had entirely dis
appeared. A local paper, noticing the
affair, kindly informs us that " the head
of the animal was exhibited by the med
cal officer to the Guardians at their last
meeting, and excited profound indigna-
ton and disgust

The Reigning Sovereigns.

In a few weeks it will be 81 years since
Plus IN. assembled the Chair of st.
Peters, and he was then 81 years of
age. He is the oldest of all sovereigns
in the world. He is five years older
than the veteran Emperor of Germany,
who comes next in age. Between Plus
TX. and Alfonso MI. (the youngest
of European sOvereigns of the first
rank, there intervenes the enormous
space of 81 years. The Oldest Christian
sovereign in the world, if we count from
the time Of his ascension of the throne,
is the Emperor of Brazil. In April,
1881, Dom Pedro l., the first Emperor
of Brazil, abdicated in favor of his son,
the present Emperor, who was then only
years months old. OF the mOnarchs
of leading countries, the Queen of
England ranks next to the Emperor of
Brazil, having assembled the throne six
years and two months after Dom Pedro
II. had the crown of Brazil thrust upon
him. The Emperor of Austria has
reigned 20 years, and the Emperor of
Russia % years. William l., as King
of Prussia, has ruled since January,
1861, and as Emperor of Germany since
January, 1871. Victor Emmanuel be-
gan his reign as monarch of the little
Kingdom of Sardinia in 1849, and be-
came the King of United Italy, in the
fullest sense of the word, in September,
1870.

HOME INTERESTS.

WAFFLES.-1 quart of milk, IL
quarts flour, eggs, and salt. Beat milk
and eggs together; stir the flour in until
it makes a smooth batter.
STEwED TRIPE.-After the tripe is
boiled tender, cut in small pieces an
inch square; make dressing of cream
or milk, small piece of butter, pepper,
salt, dredge little flour with it, stir these
all together; put in the tripe and stew
for 90 minutes, stirring often.
CURE FOR CORNs.-AccOrding to the
Union Medicale, cOrns may be cured
with greater certainty and rapidity than
in any other way by simply applying,
morning and evening, drop of per-
chloride of iron by means of bit Of
straw. This treatment, continued for Is
days, will, in most cases, effect a cure
without involving any pain.
TOMATO SOUP.-Take the thin part
of a can of tomatoes; stew 1-2 hour !;
season with butter, salt, pepper and SUI
gar; have ready pint of milk thicken-
ed with tablespoonful of flour, or
enough to make it like drawn-butter;
salt; at dinner-time pour both through
a cOlander, stirring them in the tureen !;
be careful to have it served hot; tureen
should be heated.
PAPERING A WHITEwAsHED WALL.
First scrape off any of the lime which
may be loose or inclined to fall; then
sweep or rub off the dust; then with a
whitewash brush give the wall a coat of
glue-water-about 1-2 pound of glue to
gallons of water-(this the paper
hangers call sizing.) After this dries
put on the paper; the glue sticks to the
lime, and the paper sticks to the glue.
CREAM CAKE cup of sugar, of
milk, egg, tablespoonful butter, 1-2
teaspoOnful soda, teaspOOnful cream
tartar, 1-2 heaping cupfuls flour. In
side Filling.-1 egg, tablespoonful SUI
gar, 2 of cOrn-starch dissolved in very
little cold milk, small piece of butter,
pint of milk; beat the ingredients, and
stir into the milk while boiling. This
makes pies.
To KEEP THE HAIR FROM FALLING
OUT.-Wash the head every week in
salt water, and rub the skin Of the head
with dry coarse towel. Then apply a
dressing composed of bay rum and
sweet oil, with which a few drops of
tincture of cantharides have been min
gled. This will stimulate the skin, and
keep the hair from falling out and turn
ing gray. The dressing for the hair
may be scented with cinnamon oil or
some such warming essence.

The papers of your city last week gave
accounts of the exploits of MIR. Cotner,
who waltzed for five consecutive hours.
This performance was equaled, II not
excelled, in Buffalo forty years ago BY 81
blind girl named Lena Schmidt. At that
time a military force was stationed here
under Gen. Scott, to which was added
one regiment of militia, under Col Nc
Kaye, including six companies of City
Guards, Americans, and three companies
of Germans. The officers Of. the latter
were men of education, among them be-
ing the lamented German editor, Maj.
Zham, who was killed by the falling OF
hickory pole during the Polk campaign.
In the exchange of civilities between
the companies, the American officers
and their wives accepted an invitation to
a great ball at the armory given by
German officers. / stood in the center
of the floor while 100 couples waltzed
around me, who were succeeded by an
other 100 couples, the two sets alter
mating in this way for many hours. My
attention was attracted to a figure in a
long, plain, white dress, looking more
like a shroud than ball-dress, with a
tall white cap with long white stream
ers, a voluminous kerchief on her neck,
and white cotton gloves. This woman
waltzed in both sets. She had waltzed
three hours when l left the armory, and
my servants, who did not return until
daybreak, said she waltzed three or four
hours longer. Moreover, she had been
famous dancer in Strasburg, and had
been known to waltz the shoes off her
feet at the great yearly fairs. There was
a suspicion that her blindness was con-
sequent on the incessant whirling, but
at any rate her passion for this pastime
was almost a disease. Her friends in
obliged her in it on every available Oc-
casion.-Bufalo Correspondence New

the priests have been insufficient to
meet the needs of the famishing multi
tudes. China is so densely populated,
and the facilities for internal traffic
SO inadequate, that q failure Of crops in
any large section of the empire is sure
to cause awful distress.
THE growth Of this country is well
shown by the fact that the man is still
alive who after middle age built the first
railway engine made on this continent.
That man IS Peter Cooper. He built the
engine after his own designs in Balti.
more little more than 80 years ago, and
it was successfully operated on the Bal
timore and Ohio Railway. Mr.. Cooper
was the first person to apply with sue
cess anthracite coal to the pudding of
iron, which he did in rolling and wire
mill that he had erected in that city. He
a.terward removed the machinery to
Trenton, New Jersey, where he erected
the largest rOlling-mill at that time
(1S45) in the United States for the man
ufacture of railway iron, and at which
he was subsequently the first to roll
wrought-iron beams for fire-proof build
ings. MIR. Cooper was 76 last February,
and feels as deep an interest in the
country and all its people, particularly
the laboring classes, as when he reared
that noble monument to his memory
and their advantage, the Cooper Insti-
tute.
WHEN Won MOltke returned to Hol-
stein, after recognizing the Turkish
army, he found living there with his
sister-whO had married Mr. Butte, an
Englishman-a young girl between 10
and 16, a daughter of Mr.. Bute's first
marriage. The pretty little girl loved
already, before seeing him, the soldier
who had sent from the Orient such in
teresting letters to his sister. As for
Won Moltke, he had until then seen in a
woman only being constantly interior,
ing with the methodical life of worker.
But when a man more than 40 years old
is loved by bewitching girl of 16, he
ends by returning her affection. From
that time there was but one woman in
the world to him, as there was but one
work. He married sweet Mary Butte,
and when she died, in '6S, the great
Field Marshal could say that his life as
a social being was also ended; only the
soldier remained. The Countess was
buried in his beautiful park in Silesia,
and on the marble above her is written
"Love is the fulfilling of the law
Mary Won Moltke was very bright, very
charming, very merry; and it is told as
a pathetic truth that since her death the
Field Marshal has not been seen to

Singular MOnOmOnia.

Yesterday we were in conversation
with well known citizen of this city,
who has Just returned from trip to
Houston, and from him received the
following story, which proves that truth
is indeed stranger than fiction. He will
also vOuch for the tale, as he saw the
physician whom we refer to and wit
messed his strange conduct. Two months
ago DIR. Matchet, who lives in HOus-
ton County, near Crockett, lost his son,
a boy ten or twelve years of age. After
his death the doctor told his neighbOrs
that he had a revelation from the AL
mighty that if he would keep his boy
for three months he would be restored
ltoslife again. lie refused to let the
child be buried, and slept with it for
three weeks, until the body became Of
fensive. Although the doctor said he
could not smell any thing, the buzzards
were observed to hover around the
house. The doctor then took the body,
placed it in a box, packed charcoal
around it, and takes it everywhere he
goes, in wagon drawn by Oxen,. and
driven by darky, while the doctor
stands guard over it with a double-bar-
relied shotgun. Our informant saw the
whole outfit last week, and tried to get
some points from the darby, but he
keeps his mouth shut, and will not talk.
The doctor, up to his sons death, has
been considered a number one physi-
clan, in good standing in the county,
and no signs of mental alteration have
ever been noticed. Even now he is per-
fectly rational on all subjects save this
strange one. He is widower.. This
strange tale is almost beyond belief, but
we can assure our readers that our in
formant is gentleman whose word can
not be doubted in the matter, and we
can produce him at any moment.-Dal-
las (7eras) Herald, Nay 8.

The capital of Germany possesses "a
primary schools, to which are attached
1861 male teachers, $40 female teachers,
and 342 sewing mistresses. Last year
the teaching staff was increased by the
engagement of LOG new teachers, and,
during the same time, 68,035 scholars
received education in 1855 classes, as
against 62, AS in the previous year. In
addition, 5000 children received educa-
ton, at the cost of the commune, in the
private elementary schools at Berlin,
and 4, 900 more were being educated in
orphan and founding schools. The
amount allotted by the municipality for
educational purposes has also increased
at a very rapid rate, and the total has
increased from S5,325, 600 in 1872 to
90, $50, 600 in 1877. Each scholar cost
the municipality S12.56 in the primary
schools, and S24.20 in the real schulen
(technical schools) and industrial
schools. The head masters receive, in
addition to a house, a salary varying
from S769 to 1919, and the class teach
ears from $3.50 to $500 a year.
