found that they would pull in two,
leaving the abdominal region, greatly
distended with eggs, sticking fast in
the ground. Once the female has ria
herself of her load of eggs she can
get out of the ground without the
least difficulty.
Our ranchman philosopher says
that on Withdrawing herself from the
hole in which she has deposited her
eggs the female seals up the top OF 1t
with saliva and dirt. In a short
time this dries aud the clay becomes
as hard as cement. On digging out
one of these cells after it has had
time to dry it is found to be sort
of tube closely sealed at both ends,
and able to withstand both moisture
and cold.
The male hoppers that dig the hole
in which the eggs are to be deposited
evidently deposit in it the vicious
matter that is to form the lower part
of the egg case, leaving the female
the task OF closing it up as her part
of the work.
1t is only patch of ground here
and there that seems to fill all the
conditions Tor hoppers in their egg
planting business. On these they

The Iron Egg.
From the Christian at Work.

From the Christian at Work.
In the museum at Berlin is an iron
egg, of which the following beauti-
ful story is told:
Many years ago prince became az
famed to a lovely princess, to whom
he promised to send magnificent
gift as testimonial of his affection.
In due time the messenger ar
rived. bringing the promised gift,
which proved to be an iron egg. The
princess was so angry to think that
the prince should send her so value
less present that she thew it upon
the floor, when the iron egg opened,
disclosing a silver lining. Surprised
at such a discovery, she took the egg
In her hand, and while examining it
closely discovered secret spring,
which she touched and the silver lin>
ing opened, disclosing a golden
yolk. Examining it carefully, she
found another spring which, when
opened, disclosed within the golden
yolk ruby crown. Subjecting that
to an examination, she touched a
spring, and forth came the diamond
ring with which he atfianced her to
himself. So often come the richest
gifts of God to us. Their outward
seeming is as unattractive as The iron
egg. But within the seeming repul>
siveness lies hidden the silver Innings
OF Divine love. Within that love
lies hidden the golden treasures of
the gospel. Within that still lies
hidden the crown OF life. { Be thou
faithful unto death, and l will give
thee crown OF rlghteouness." And
within the crown the jewled ring
with which he-the Bridegroom
will Alliance his bride unto himself.
"And l saw the New Jerusalem
coming down from God ont of heav
en-, prepared as bride adorned for
her husband
