PrOf RILEY, chairman Of the United States

Prof. Riley, chairman of the United States
chronological commission, in a communica-
ton to the New York Tribune on ''Locusts,"
declares that there is no special cause for
alarm on account of their depredations this
year He calls attention to the popular error
in applying the term locust to the cicada,
which is comparatively harmless creature.
There are, he says, two species of the period
ical cicadas, one requiring thirteen and the
other seventeen years for its development in
the earth, The true locust comes from the
Rocky mountains, and is an annual, laying
eggs in the ground in autumn, which are
Matched in the spring. At irregular periods,
averaging once in eleven years, the meteoro-
logical conditions favor excessive multiplied.
ton of the insects in their native haunts, and
then they rise in the air and fall upon the fer
tile plains of the western states, devastating
the fields and filling the ground with eggs
which produce new generation the ensuing
year, which are often more injurious than the
last The second generation try, however, to
quit the country of their birth and get back
to the homo of their ancestors as soon as
possible. Prof. Riley suggests a system of
observation and warning to enable tho farm
ers to save their crops from an approaching
cloud of loousts

To PreSer0e Strawberries WhOle.-Take
equal weights of the largest strawberries pro-
durable and fine loaf sugar lay the fruit in
deep dishes, and sprinkle half the sugar over
it in fine powder; give the dish a gentle shake,
that the sugar may always touch the under
part of the fruit The next day make syrup
with the remainder of the sugar and the juice
drawn from the strawberries, boiling it till il
jellies; then carefully put in the strawberries,
and let them simmer nearly an hour. Next
day put them into jars or bottles and fill up
with the syrup, of which there will be more
than required, but the next day the jars will
hold nearly or quite the whole. Cover the
jars or bottles with brandy papers

The Secretary OF the Board, Tinkham,
and the Crows.

Our secretary of the board, we think. did
serious mischief in some of the meetings last
winter We did the best we could to prevent
him, and all we could to counteract his work,
but evidently to little good. He ridiculed our
ideas, and scoffed at our words, and made
merry over our efforts
We refer 10 the matter of crows. Weheld
the crow TO be thief and robber a pirat-
ical craft sailing the air and plunderinR the
weak and innocent; the merciless destroyer of
the tuneful robin and the silvery-voiced
thrush that he plucked up the corn and de-
sroyed the tender blade.
But the secretary thought him a most un-
lustly-persecuted unfortunate, whose chief
business was to find means to aid the farmer
who devoted his spring days TO digging grubs,
ana his summer hours TO catching grasshop-
pers, with an occasional visit to the corn-field,
where he was obliged to pull up hill or two,
Just to see whether the worms were working
at the roots.
Well, somehow they have become aware of
the seoretary's championship, and, evidently
encouraged by it, have grown bold in their
evil ways. Whether, in their infinite re-
sources for mischief they had oontrived to
have reporter present at the meetings, or
whether some one Of them happened TO read
the reports out of a paper spread out on some
fornheld, We cannot certainly say, but incline
