A Senate Pages Joke.

The pages Of the Senate and House
are handsomer and brighter than
those of the Congressional Record.
They are, like all bright boys, fond of
a joke. Senator Dawes brought on
the floor of the Senate the other day
a very dignified Old gentleman of
porly demeanor, gray hair, and a
pleasant face. They sat down togeth-
er on one of the red leather sofas near
the wall. After they had talked a
while, Dawes returned to his seat to
finish letter, leaving his stately
friend all alone on the sofa. One of
the brightest of the pages, a smart
little Alabama boy, hearing the dis
tinguished looking old gentleman's
name, got out sheet of official paper
and wrote out neat note addressed
to the Massachusetts Senator's friend
in which he remarked that one of the
Senate rules required all visitors to
the floor TO make three profound
bows to the presiding officer out of
respect to the body. He signed a fic-
titiOus name, sealed the note in an
official envelope marked "United
States Senate" and hurrying up to
the fne-looking old gentleman on the
red sofa, handed it to him as though
it had been sent by old David Davis
himself. Then he and the other pages
who where in the secret got off in
corner and awaited results. The old
gentleman put his gold eyeglasses to
his nose, and slowly and solemnly
read the little note through. lie
seemed puzzled, and for a moment
hesitatcd. Then he solemnly and
slowly arose, and with great dignity
made three low bows toward the dais
where the Vice-Presidcnt sits. Old
Isaac Bassett, the doorkeepar of the
Senate and grand custodian of the
sole surviving Senatorial snuff-box
as well as one of the few men in the
United States who knows'how every
variety of princes, potentates, princi-
pahtics, and powers should be treated
was simply Mortified when he learned
the cause of the pages glee. His long
white hair threatened to stand erect
as he fastened around to apologize to
the distinguished visitor. The latter
was mortified when he realized how
completely he had been taken in but
his good nature prompted him to beg
Bassett not to be too hard on the
bright little page.-Washington Cor.

LATRoBE, Pa, June 20.-Myriads OF locusts
are now swarming all over the country.
They are of precisely the same variety that
appeared Just seventeen years ago. and are
known as the Seventeen year Locusts.'
They burrow from the ground along about
the lst OF June. When they first crawl out
OF the ground, which they always do at
night, they are always in the shape OF
large bug. After climbing a small way up
a tree, fence or bush, they remain quiet for
an lhour or two, WHEN they split open on

They have figure on their wings, which,
by strengthening the imagination, could
be made to resemble "N' or "W." To the
more superstitious who sees "W' ii is

residents say that they have this mark

They Eat Their Last Meal
Immediately before leaving the ground,
and although they live about forty days
they take no nOurishment-they probably
got this notion from Dr. Tanner. They
keep up a continual humming by means of
two delicately constructed organs, one un-
der each wing. They damage fruit trees
more or less by depositing their eggs on
small branches, which always die and fall
off. They keen on singing and laying eggs
until the are about half dried up. when
they fall to the ground and die. In the
fall the eggs hatch out and the young
