The Music of Insects.


The katydid has a wing that is very
curious to look ut. 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 a thin and strong skin. which
makes a sort of drumhead. .
It's the rubbing OF these two ridges
or drumheads that make the queer noise
you have heard. There is no music in
it, surely. The insects could keep quiet
as 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
did" and ''She did," or ''She didn't"
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 I'M
der wings? 1t is not the stir of those
beautiful light wings we hear tits the air
drawing in and out of the air-tubes, in
the bees quick flight. The faster q
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
hurt. You must remember this, and be
kind to all the little insects God has
made. our Little Ones.

A grand duchy of Russia, Finland
proper, has kind of local government.
The great privileges conceded by the
Emperor Alexander L., in the conquest
of the country, in 1903, have been fur
ther guaranteed by Nicholas and Alex
ander H., so that no Finlander can be
arbitrarily imprisoned, and when
charged with crime must be brought
to trial at the earliest opportunity. The
national representation, or diet, has
legislative power in common with the
Emperor, and is composed of about 200
members belonging to the four orders
mobility, clergy, bourgeoisie and peas
ants. The unanimity of these four or
ders is necessary for everything relat-
ing to the constitution; to privileges and
taxes, and no body of troops can be
raised without their consent. The pro-
fessors vote among the clergy.
The traveller in Finland can not fail
to be impressed with the bearing of the
people, and the hideous contrast every
where evident between them and the
Russians proper On the writer's sug-
costing to Finlander that he was un-
der the Government of Russia, he re-
piled with dignity: eve are under our
own Government; the Gar is the grand
duke of Finland, and appoints Gov
ernor, but even he must be acceptable
to us; we have our own army, which
can not be ordered out of Finland"
ETC., etc. Verify, thought, an oasis
in desert, liberty in the midst of des-
potism, civilization neighbor to semi
barbarism.
The Finish language is quite differ
ent from all other European languages.
Its peculiar characteristic is, "that all
derivation, declination and coniugation
is effected by means of sufiXes, and
thus the root invariably forms the be-
ginning of every word" There are
plenty of coniunctions, few preposi-
tons, but the language is rich in. de-
rived verbs. A noticeable popularity
is, that not one purely Finish word be-
gins with two consonants. Pronuncia-
ton is easy every syllable being pro-
nounced just as it is spelled. The ac-
cent is always on the first syllable. The
Oldest Finish book, a prayer-book, was
printed in the year 1914. The New
Testament and Psalter was published
in 154S, but the whole Bible did not APP
pear until the year 1642.-Cor. Boston

THE LESSONS OF THE YEAR.

You are larger now than year ago,
And the stories and the lessons they, too, must
grow
And come to your minds with fresh, new
look
On the unlearned page of this old, old book.
But have you, my dears, learned everything
The brave old year in its arms could bringl
Oh, all the lessons the schoolbooks brought,
Perhaps - but the other ones! Have you
thought
That never a blossom looks up but tells
Some story of how its sweet heart Swells
With grateful love to Him who made
Its beauty of sunshine and rain and shade?
That never a butterfly sips, or bee,
The nectar too little for us to see,
But out of the picture lesson goes
OF Him who made clover and bee and rose?
That never ripened apple falls,
Nor grape vine puppies on dull old walls,
Nor nut comes Tustling through the leaves,
Nor vain goes laden with harvest sheaves,
But in each and all bright eyes may find
How wise and changeless and Heavenly kind
Is He who fashions the endless store
Which blesses the New Year more and more?
And not alone while the warm skies glow
Are written the lessons for us to know,
But the snow and the ice have truthful word
OF Him whom we worship and call the Lord
They hide the roots of the honey flowers,
And the trees whose fruits fall thick as show
erS
And in all the earth and air and sea,
There are stories and lessons for you and me.

TWO-Sided.

Some people are composed of two
selves, which they as easily put on or
shift off as you or would coat AS
for example, know a person OF a most
gracious, frank and amusing character,
person with whom | have been init
mate for years, and whom | thought |
knew and understood perfectly. Hap
pening one dav to be present while she
was entertaining company, Twas aston
ished to find her entirely changed. The
smile that habitually played over her
countenance was repressed, and an air
of most profound importance peryaded
her whole countenance. Her manners
were constrained, and every word she
uttered seemed to have been weighed at
least seven or eight times. The CONVEX
sation Jagged, or was rather one-sided,
for she agreed with every one and every
one seemed to agree with her. l was
greatly amused, and when the guests
had departed could not help having
laugh at her expense and Joking her
about her other self "For, really,' |
said, ''you are hundred degrees more
charming and agreeable when you t,lk
/ and act in your natural way" She
stared at me in wonder, and said: Il
really did not think you were SO green
as that. For you know that as charity
covers a multitude of sins before God,
so does politeness before man. ''Po-
| litenessn' | said edo you cab that pc.
liteness?" But she silenced me with a
laugh, saying: eff you want to be in
/ fashion you want to put on airs"
Now, don't mean to say that if you
meet person with crooked nose it is
necessary to fling the fact at his or her
head. For, above all things, no matter
! how frank you are, there IS one thing
/ you must sacrifice to your frankness,
and that is personal feeling. In every
house there is a skeleton in the cup
board, and in some houses more than
one. 1t will not always do to say what
you think, but you should always think
what you say. If you do not, then
keep silent. Silence is golden. can
not forbear to quote right here what
Carlyle says in reference to silence:
"Were man ordered, for q length Of
time. but to hold his peace, it were in
most cases an incaleulable benefit to his
insight. Thought works in silence; so
does virtue. What folly would one
avoid did the tongue be quiet till the
mind had finished and was calling for
utterancc."
Wealth is one of the things that eYer-
cises the most harmful influence on
frankness. No matter where you 90, il
you h&ve money, the greatest defer.
eRce is paid you; no matter whether
you be bright or stupid, good or bad,
your money is your password, and il
opens almost every door to you. ]
