The Music Of Insects.

The katydid has a wing that is very
curious to look at You have seen this
little insect, have no doubt. its color
is light green, and just where the wing
joins the body there is thick ridge,
and another on the wing. On this ridge
there is thin and strong skin. which
makes sort of drumhead.
1t Is the rubbing of these two ridges
or drumheads that make the queer noise
you have heard. There is no music in,
1t, surely. The insects could keep quiet
rs well as not, and they must enjoy
doing it.
The katydid usually makes three rubs
with its drumheads. sometimes only
two. You can fancy she says "Katy.

The moment it is dusk they begin. Soon
the whole company are at work. As
they rest after each rubbing, it seems
as If they answered each other
Did you know that bees hum from UNI
der wings? 1t is not the stir of those
beautiful light wings we hear. It's the air
drawing in and out of the air-tubes. in
the bees quick flight. The. faster u
bee flies the louder the humming is.
Don't you believe insects feel? In
deed they do! They have nerves all
over them, even through their wings.
and out to the end Of every feeler They
suffer just as much as you do when
hunt. You must remember this, and be
kind to all the little insects God has
made Our Little Ones.

Don't Lend Your Cigar.

The Pittsburgh Dispatch says that a
man of letters was smoking and chat
ting with physician on a Hudson
River ferryboat when stranger stepped
up and asked for light. "Let me
give you match" replied the man of
letters. adding, after his petitioner had
withdrawn: II don't know how you
feel about it, doctor, but for my part l
very much dislike to put the end of nv
cigar back into my mouth after it has
been fingered by Tom, Dick and Harry.
l always carry matches with me, and
make it point to offer one of them in
stead" "And quite right you are, /"
said the doctor. 81 believe that some

tact of his fingers with q borrowed

A Crank and a False Prophet.

Ell Mahdi Mcclure, of the Philadel-
phia Times, has worked himself into q
terrible state over the election of Mr..
Carlisle to the Speakership. In the
elevation to that office of the eminent
statesman of Kentucky he sees another
Democratic defeat, and assured victory
for the Republican party, whether its
candidate be Arthur. Blaine or Grant.
Indeed, SO at the mercy of the high
tariff monomania is he that he makes
most pitiful exhibition of himself. He
throws up the sponge in behalf of the
party of the people and announces that
it is beaten already. and that it has will
fully thrown away its splendid oppor-
tunity to again control the affairs Of the
Nation. Virginia goes back to Malone.
North Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana,
Tennessee and West Virginia become
doubtful States. The North is solidly
arrayed against the wicked Democracy.
Such is the situation, according to the
False Prophet of Philadelphia, and such
it has been made by the election of
John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky, to the
Speakership of the House of Repre-
sentatives over Samuel j. Randall, of
Pennsylvania. II, now, the Republic
ans should nominate Blaine they would
sweep the North and divide the South;
if they should take Mr.. Arthur, even
then they would win; but if Grant
should be their standard-bearer they
would carry the country by storm.
What the result would be If Flanagan,
of Texas, should be the Republican
candidate, Ell Mahdi does not say, but
it is fair to presume that in his judy
ment the party would pull through.
Nevertheless, we would not advise the
Democrats to give up their organization
just yet. Let them remember that
while there's life there's hope. And let
them not forget that FL Mahdi McC lure,
besides being a false prophet, comes
very near to being a crank. Boston
