Annie r. Catler, she young woman
who lies Ia the Philadelphia jail under
sentence Of death for the murder Of her
lover, William II. Knight, belongs In
Newport r. L, where her mother re-
sides and holds respectable position
in the community. Mrs. Cutler and her

member OF the Second Street Baptist
Church, and has The confidence and es-
teem Of all her friends and neighbors il
and out Of the church. She brought
up her father less daughter with scru-
pulous care and educated her well.
About three years ago knight came 20
Newport for the summer. A party Of
young people took q moonlight drive
around the Ocean Drive one evening,
and Annie met young Knight. From
that time during the summer the young
couple met frequently, and before
Knight left for Philadelphia they had
become engaged.
Not long after the parting knight be-
gan to write to his flanCee, urging her to
go to Philadelphia and prepare for their
wedding. His appeals we're so earnest
and 30 persistent that at last Annie con-
sented, but on her arrival there she dis
covered that they we're not In position
to marry, and accordingly she took q POI
sition in family, who became much at
tached to her. There she remained for
nearly three years, giving Knight the
bulk Of her salary, he promising that he
would add to and prepare home for
her. In March last Annie discovered
that Knight, having betrayed another
woman, had been compelled TO marry
her.
She then shot Knight In broad day

AN METEOROLOGICAL BREAKFAsr
Prot. Riley Eats the Cicada and Praises
les Flavor.

A gentleman who had an engagement
with Prof. Riley called at his house in
Washington, and found the entomolO-
gist alone in his dining-room reading
the morning papers as he finished late
breakfast. 'sCome right In here, " said
che Professor. 81 want On unprejudiced
opinion about a little matter, "(and to
the sorvant@ Bring ii some hot ones"
The visitor, despite the fact that he had
breakfasted, was induced to seat him.
self ct the table, and was served with
spoonful of dark brown objects like very
small fried oysters. He eyed them sus-
piciously moment, having discovered
beneath the crust Of bread crumbs
Illuminated back something like that Of
very small shrimp.
''What do you call it2"
'sThe cioada. They ought to have
been cooked i'm"
"What bugs r.
''Nol no not bugs, only the cicada
--miscalled the 17-yeaz locust. Don't
be afraid 81 them. They are only the
quintescence Of vegetable juices, and
everything in nature feeds upon them
ravenously."
Thereupon che host took one, bit 1t in
two, munched and swallowed 1t with an
appearance Of relish. The guest shut
his eyes, and attempted to bolt whole
Cicada. The object crushed in his
mouth and proved to be little else than
. delicate shell, but it's favor was found
to be far from disagreeable.
"AIl It's juices we're absorbed in the
batter" said the Professor explana-
torfly.
Neither the Professor nor bis visitor
was able to Hken the flavor to anything
which was familiar, but they agreed IN
the opinion that, prejudice overcome,
the cicada would be esteemed a rare
tid-bit; rare, as It requires II years to
ripen, and that it might take rank with
frogs legs, birds nests, shad roes, and
white bait.
II spent an hour last night, said the
host, gathering them, and they were
very beautiful when fresh. / took them
just as the pupa began to break. They
we're creamy white and plump, and
looked good enough 70 eat raw, but !
didn't venture. / think these should
have been stewed instead Of fried
stewed il milk. / presume they would
be nearly - good as grasshoppers.
do you eat grasshoppers p
Certainly. / once ate nothing else
for two days, and / found them delicious
when properly cooked. This is only an
experiment, O. course, but my eating Of
grasahoppeEs had . practical object in
view. The insects had eaten nearly
everything IN 3 large region Of country
and many families were on the verge Of
starvation.

A FARMERS EXPERIMENT.

on the plow-handle, and looked up to
clear space in the sky, which was Is
cerulean as sea.
''Cawl cav cav r.
There we're light clouds drifting across

''Oaw cav | cav r.

'Coms to pull up my corn this year

Not far from the field where the
farmer was blowing was swamp. In
winter, when 1t was frozen and 'ssIed
ding" was good, the farmers worked
there, cutting their summers wood.
But as soon Is spring came, IL was 3
niry bog. The great trees rise as from
countless messy islands. No one could
penetrate it after April during the warm
season, except when there was drought.
In this watery solitude, in the tops Of
the tell pines, the crows made their
nests.
Farmer Tolley glanced up from the
neat furrow the pIow was turning 10 see
where the dark object was going. The
black sails Of the pirate Of the air swept
before the warm winds toward the pines
in the deepest bogs Of the swamp.

the farmer. ssToo bad Just like your
relations waitin' round fer your property

At the end Of the furrow Che farmer

Nervousness.

The moment there is danger of impair
ment of the mind from excessive nervous
exhaustion, or where there exists torebod
jugs OF evil, desire for solitude, stunning
and avoiding company, vertigo and nervous
debility, or when insanity has already taken
place, PERUNA and MASALIN should be i'm
plicitly relied on. But it is never we'll to

he early symptoms are, loss OF strength

in others, certain powers only are lost while
they are otherwise enjoying comparatively
good health. In all these PERUNA and NAV
