l'ASihio 1n'ei Piisc.I
A Tfuekee Meadows ranchman, who
has been studying the ways of the grass
hopper for the past two years, says they
have touch of intelligence in them that
must come from the devil. Among many
things he tells about the hoppers in proof
of their being endowed with fiendish
smartness, his description of the manner
in which the eggs of the female are plant
ed in the ground is not the least curious.
He says when the time for depositing the
eggs arrives, the hoppers select patch
of ground that is somewhat soft, yet of
firm texture. Here collect swarms of
both males and females. The males set
to work and bore hole in the ground to
the depth Of about an inch, carefully
smoothing the sides and rounding it.
Five Or six of them then seize upon a
female and stand her on end in this hole
waist deep. They then carefully tamp
in fine dirt all about the lower part Of
her body, and thus securely fasten her in
the ground from the waist up. When
this operation is completed it is impos.
sible for the female hopper to release
herself; indeed, our grasshopperologist
says he has often tried to pull them out
when so planted, and always found that
they would pull in two, leaving the alb
dominal region greatly distended with
eggs) sticking fast in the ground. Once
the female having rid herself of her load
of eggs she can get out of the ground
without the least difficulty.
Our ranchman philosopher says that
on her withdrawing herself from the hole
in which she has deposited her eggs the
female seals up the top of it with saliva
and dirt. In short time this dries and
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 a sort Of
tube closely sealed at both ends, and
able to Withstand both moisture and cold.
The male hoppers that dig the hole ir
which the eggs are to be deposited evi
IDENTIFY deposit in it the vicious matter
that is to form the lower part of the ege
case, leaving the female the task of clos
ing it up as her part of the work.
1t is only patch of ground here ane
there that seems to fill all the conditions
required by the hoppers in their egg
planting business. On these they swarm
and may be seen industriously at worl
on almost every square inch Of ground
all the males at work like beavers at dig
ging holes, boosting up and planting tn
egg-layers.

Some years ago all ingenious farmer,
casting his mental horoscope for some
means of keeping his neighbor's cattle
out of his own pasture, hit upon the plan
of inserting sharply pointed nails in
common clothes line and stretching it on
low posts. A wide awake Yankee came
along, saw the contrivance and quickly
began to calculate how fortune could
be made out of this simple device. He
had heard that hundreds Of thousands Of
cows were slaughtered annually on the
railroad tracks of the country, and that
the amount paid to the owners of the
animals in one year was enormous. He
thought the matter over, and concluded
that although a clothes line was not last
ing enough, the idea was just the thing.
He patented the farmers idea of spikes
in rope, and "the barbed wire" mon
opoly came in due time. Instead Of
hemp he used wire for his rope, and in
stead of common nails he made extra
sharp and strong spikes, but it was the
farmers idea all the same. The farmer
only wanted to guard against trouble
some nuisance that concerned himself
alone, and he was probably too busy
with his sowing and reaping to think
how many of his neighbors and how
many rich corporations were bothered in
the same way. The Yankee did, how
ever, and the very farmer from whom he
got the idea has to pay him tribute now,
for he and his associates have the ex.
elusive right, SO it is claimed, to paanu
facture wire with barbs inserted in it.
The barbed wire monopoly has grown
from small beginnings until it is almost o.
gigantic proportions, its income being mo-
less than 100000 month. Every rail
road company in the country and ma
iority of the farmers Of the'West use tn,
barbed wire for fencing purposes. o.
the prairies it is accounted as necessary
part of farmers outfit as plough, AM
it is thought that $4,000, 600 year is
moderate estimate of the amount pai'
for barbed wire by the farming interests

DOGS IN LITERATURE
TEMPLE Bari


Macaulev's definition of dog as " ali
animal that only spoiled conversation" is
quite characteristic Of that eminent and,
withal, monopolizing talker, who would
most unreservedly have endorsed the
parody, "One mans pet is another mans
nuisance" But Goethe's feelings had
passed the bounds of boredom; dogs
were an adherence to him; their bark
ing drove him to distraction. Mr.. Lewis
tells us of the poets troubles as theatrical
manager at Weimar, when the cabal
against him had craftily persuaded the
Duke Carl August, whose fondness for
dogs was as remarkable as Goethes aver
sion to them, to invite to his capital the
comedian Karsten and his poodle, which
had been performing amid the enthusi-
astic acclmations of Paris and Germany
the leading part of the melodrama of
1.-THE Dog of Montargis." s." Goethe, be-
ing apprised Of the project, haughtily
replied: "No dogs admitted on the
stage" and thus dismissed the subject.
But the invitation had already gone and
the dog arrived.
After the first rehearsal Goethe gave
his Highness the choice between the dog
and the stage manager, and the Duke
angry at this opposition, severed long
friendship by most offensive letter of
dismissal. He quickly, however, came
to his senses, and, repenting of his un-
worthy petulance, wrote to the poet in a
most conciliatory tone; but, though the
cloud passed away, no entreaty could
ever induce Goethe to resume his post
Alfred de Musset's dislike for dogs was
intensified by unfortunate experience
for twice in his life a dog had gone neal
to wreck his prospects; once, when at :
royal hunting party. He blunderingly
shot Louis Phillippe's favorite pointer
and again, when, as candidate for thu
Academy, he was paying the customar,
visit of ceremony to an influential i'm
mortal Just as he rang at the chatea,
gate, an ugly, muddy whelp rushed ou
joyously and noisly to greet him, fawn
ing upon the poets new and dainty cos
tune. Reluctant to draw any distinction
of courtesy, at such time, between tn
Academician and his dog, he had no al
tentative but to accept the slymy caresse
and the escort Of the dog into the salon
The embarrassment of his host he &C
counted for by the barely defencible be
havior of his pet, but when the dog
having followed them into the dining
room, placed his muddy paws upon tn
cloth and seized the wing of col
chicken, De Musset's suppressed wratl
found relief in the reserved suggestion
"You are fond of dogs, I see. > Fon
of dogs!" echoed the Academician, /"
hate dogs But this animal here,
ventured De Musset. "I have born
with the beast, was the reply" " onl
because it is yours" "Mine?" cried tn
poet, 81 thought it was yours, whic
was all that prevented me from KILN
him!' The two men shouted with laugh
ter; De Musset gained friend; but til
dog and his kind an enemy more bite
than before.

THE Cosr OF A BoY.-It would be a
good idea for all boys, and girls, too, to
get some idea--in real figures-of what
their parents do for them. The Rev. ?.
B. Fisk gives lecture on the cost Of a
boy. He computes that at the age of
Is good boy, receiving the advantages
of city life, will cost, counting compound
interest on the amount invested, not less
than $1,000. At 81 he will not cost any
more unless he goes to college, when he
will cost nearly twice as much. A bad
boy costs about $4,000 at 81, providing
he does not go to college. If he does 90,
he costs as much more. Mr.. Fisk thinks
that girls are nearly as expensive as boys.
The computation, however, comprises
only the pecuniary cost of raising boy.
The gray hairs are beyond the reach Of
figures to express. The money side is by
far the lesser of the two.
