too sombre to make an agreeable pic

Concerning Loousts.

In the newspaper accounts OF the in-
vasions of locusts, in different parts of
the country, the insect is spoken of as
''the Locust" The writers are evidently
not aware, that there are two very dis
tinct insects. to which the name locust,
is popularly applied. One of these, on
account of its appearing at regular in.
tervals, is often called "The Seventeen
year Locust" 1t occurs in nearly all,
if not all, of the states east of the
Mississippi. The other, the "Rocky
Mountain Locust has its chief range
in the country between the Rocky
Mountains, and the Mississippi River.
The seventeen,year Locust, is a Cicada,
and own brother to the well known
"Harvest fly the rafting note of
which is 80 common in midsummer.
The laryal state of this locust is passed
under ground, where it lives upon
roots, and grows very slowly for seven
teen Gn SONS broods, thirteen) yeas.
AT its appointed time, the insect comes
to the surface, casts off its pupa skin,
and devotes itself to continuing its
kind. After mating, the female depos-
its her eggs, and in doing this; the
chief damage inflicted by this insect is
accomplished. The female makes
grooves in the young twigs of trees,
in which she deposits her eggs in pars.
When the eggs are deposited in forest
trees, the injury is not much not &
ed, but in a young orchard, or in
nursery, the damage is often very Sc.
we're. The eggs hatch in about six
weeks after being deposited; the new
ly hatched larva droIs to the grould
below the surface of which il soon
burrows, not to see the light again mn
I'll seventeen year have PASSED, when
II punctnally re-appears, TO rpclt the
same round The only remedy tha,
has been sugg' sted, WHEN it attacks
nurseri y, is TO whip the locust from
the trees, early in the morning while
they are dormant, aud allow pigs and
poultry to devour them. The Rocky
Mountain Locust, is really grasshop-
per. Its eggs, laid in a hole in the
ground, in late summer, or early au.
tumn, hatch the next spring, and the
young insects are ready for business.
In their early life they have no wings,
and do not acquire them until six or
eight weeks after Matching. 1t casts
its skin five times, and at its last molt,
comes forth winged insect Before
it can fly, i. has to walk and hop, The
young insects move off in sear;h of
food, as soon as the vegetation of the
spot where they were hatched, is ex-
hausted. They move in body, often
a mile wide, destroying every green
thing in their path. AT length the To-
Gusts take their flight, and sad is the
tate OF the place on which they alight
they leave the fields as if they had
been burned.-American Agricultuist

HOW TO MAKE THEM SO-KEEP THEN IN
HEALTH AND THEY WILL TAKE
CARE OF THE REST.
The Joy OF every well-regulated household comes
chiefly from the children. Thousands OF affection
ate parents do not take care OF their children
Through ignorance more than culpable neglect
they suffer them TO fall sick and die, when knowl-
edge might have saved them to love and home. Dr.
David Kennedy offers his "Favofte Remedy as
in its action, containing no harmful ingredients
whatever, going straight to the blood, which,
when impure, Is the seat and source OF disease.
"Fav0rite Remedy is the friend OF childhood and
should be found In every nursery In the land.
Keep II In your house for your children's sake, as
well as for your own. Try Il and you will be glad
that you saw this article. Make no mistakes.

A Word for the GIRL Of the Period.

David Irving in The Current (Chi-
cago), speaks cordially in defense OF
the girls of the day, who, he intends,
are with rare exceptions industrious
and with breadth of invention and
execution. The ironical and often
mean essays on the women of the pres
ent picture her as good for little excel /
for accommodating a Saratoga trunk
on its wanderings in summer and for
filling fashionable engagements in win
ter. Much of this sai casm is deserved
by the few, but when the millions ef
girls are thought of as they are orna.
menting their mothers homes in the
villages and cities, the honest heart can.
not but confess that the word "girl''
never meant more than il means 10
day. This being, when found in her
best estate, can go gracefully from her
silk dress and piano 10 plain garb,
and to work among plants, or to the
kitchen, or to mission school class.
Nothing any longer is beyond her In
the city she can easily walk three miles.
Langnor has ceased TO be fashionable ;
sleep in the daytime not to be endured
The soul is thought to be in action,
not repose.

THE STATE-HOUSE STATUES.
The Catholics Propose to Contribute Statue
IF Father Pierre Gibault.

There is to be number of pieces Of statuary
to adorn the exterior of the new State house, and
these pieces will represent various epochs in the
history Of the State In accordance with this
idea, Father August Bessonies called upon the
commissioners yesterday with the proposition
that the diocese Of Vincennes should be allowed
to contribute one Of statue of Father Pierre
Gibault who was connected with the earliest
history of the Northwest Territory, and was
long stationed at Vincennes and Kaskas
kia. In February, ITO, Pierre Gibault,
vicar general of the diocese of Quebec,
''for Illinois and the adjoining counties" made
his first visit to Vincennes. In March Of that
year he returned to Kaskaska, the usual place
Of his residence, and for several years continued
to pay occasional visits to 1.-The post" as Vim
cennes was then called. He was for time the
only priest in Indiana. His zeal and energy were
wonderful, his labors almost surprising belief.
In July 1778, he was at Vincennes exerting him
self successfully in inducing the French inhabi-
tants to declare in favor of the colonies against
Great Britain In the wooden chapel of the
church of ST. Francis Xavier he administered
to them the oath Of allegiance to the colonies
IN the most solemn manner. Being
from Canada, he was an English subject and
risked everything in thus taking part with the
Americans He concliated the Indian tribes,
and did much to render them friendly to the
Americans He, with Col Francis Vigo, did
much to aid Gen. George Rogers Clark in ac
curing the Northwest Territory, beginning with
the overthrow and capture of the fort at Vim
cennes, with Gen. Henry Hamilton and its
garrison. 1t was through the influence of Father
Gibault that fifty young Frenchmen at Kaskas
kia formed themselves into d company under
Captain Charlevox and joined General
Clark in his expedition against Vincennes.
He expended his money as we'll as his time in
the cause of the Americans and was powerful
friend at the time when friends were sorely
needed In May, 1885, this good Jesuit priest
came to Eincennes to reside as pastor, remaining
until October. 1889
Father Bessonies is of the opinion that his
picture may be obtained at Quebec, and if this
can be done, the statue will be valuable addi-
tion to the proposed collection and link in the
history Of the State.

Of the law, he promptly withdrew the proposition
The Brush Companys proceeding in erecting
the towers without authority clearly lille gal;
but now that they proceed according to law, and
ask for the proper authority as provided by law,
and propose to do public lighting without expense
to the city for the present, it is as clearly the
duty of every member of the city government to
vote to grant the request. The motion carried
Ordinances were passed to pave the sidewalks
of Eighth street, from Central avenue to the
Wabash railroad; to curb with stone the side
walks OF North street, from Pennsylvania street
to Delaware street: authorizing the c., H. & d.
Railroad Company to lay and maintain two addi-
tional tracks across New Jersey street. to gravel
the first alley west of Arsenal avenue, from
Washington street to Market street; to provide
for the construction of sewer in and along
Massachusetts avenue, from Alabama street to
Bellefontaine street; authorizing the use Of the
vapor light on streets where there is no gas.
The action of the Council, providing that the
street commissioner should notify all railroad
companies that are required to maintain and
operate safety gates that there will be strict
enforcement of the law, was concurred in.
The president appointed Messrs. Pritchard
McHugh and Endly committee to meet with
the Council special committee to consider the
telephone matter
The board then adjourned.

piano according to your means, and the serv-
ice expected Of the instrument
Fifty dollars will buy piano of about six
octaves, with a light tone and action, the in
strument being Of old style.
Seventy-five dollars will buy or IL
octave piano. somewhat better than the above.
One hundred dollars will buy very good
6 IL or s 23 octave piano that has been used
long, but is still very serviceable, or maybe
some octave piano of old style.
One hundred and twenty-five dollars will
buy fairly serviceable Z octave piano, of
plain legs and case, but with fair tone and &C
ton.
One hundred and fifty dollars will buy a
good { octave piano of modern style with
good case and a very serviceable instrument
in the family One that will give much pleas
ure for many years.
One hundred and seventy-fve dollars will
buy very good piano Of modern style, with
carved legs, an instrument almost practically
as good as a new one, costing 1918 or $500.
The tone and action will be good; the case
handsome and in fair condition.

condition will, Of course, bring higher prices,
those named above applying to the general
run Of secondhand pianos
Pianos at the above prices may be pur-
chased on instalments, by paying one-ffth Of

equal monthly payments.
In buying piano or organ many persons
have the idea that they must pay all cash
There are thousands of families who have an
income of fifty to one hundred dollars per
month who can easily spare from five to ten
dollars of it and scarcely miss it. TO all such
we would say, do not wait to lay up enough
to pay for an instrument before buying, but
see or write US at once for our terms. No
matter if you cannot pay but five dollars a
month towards an organ, or only ten dollars
towards piano, let us hear from you without
delay and we will satisfy you that we are Civ
ing easier terms than any music house in the
United States We furnish hundreds Of
homes every year with pianos and organs and
take our pay in small installments each
month or quarter, that were the purchasers
obliged to pay the full price of an instrument
in cash they could not buy one All letters
of inquiry cheerfully answered. We have
men for that purpose alone, so do not hesitate
to write and tell us just how you can afford to

The board met last night in regular session
Mr.. Pritchard handed in petition, signed by
E. T. Gobe asking for non concurrence in the
action of the Council letting the contract for the
erection of the City Hall to Salisbury & Stanley
and for the reference of the matter to new
committee. The petition stated that Mr.. Gobel
had made his proposal with view to employing
labor and purchasing material in this city, under
the terms of his bid. The matter was discussed
at some length. The president stated that one
of the requirements of the advertisement for
bids was the filing Of list of
sub contractors. the reason being that no
man could superintend the entire WORK and Go a
good JOB Mr. Prier said he had reason to
believe that Mr.. Gobel knew he would have to
furnish the names of his sub-contractors in
order to come within the requirements of tho
bid. Mr.. King moved to concur in the action Of
the Council. which was done.
The proposition of Luther Mehring to lease
the Sellers farm at $500 yearly for two years
with the privilege of five, was referred to the
committee on public property.

their contract to improve Hanna street was con-
Cured in.
The resolution passed at last weeks session of
the council on the telephone matter came up for
consideration. Mr.. Pritchard thought the peo-
pie, who seemed highly excited, should keep
cool and not be too hasty. He wanted further
conference with the company, for the purpose, if
possible of securing the appointment of trus-
tee to take charge of the money asked by the
company TO be paid, over and above the legal
rate until the matter can be legally or amicaby
settled He moved that the matter be referred
Mr.. McHugh hoped some compromise would
yet be reached between the company and the
citizens. The matter was then referred to the
judiciary committee.
Mr.. Rorison moved that the board concur in
the action of the Council granting the erection of

Minister Magee in Stockholm.

A letter received yesterday by State Auditor
Rice from Minister Magee, written from Stock
holm, on June % state that he was given cor
dia! reception by the people there, and had been
shown much attention. He was delighted with
the climate, and was well pleased generally with
the country, although he had felt some longing
to again be on Indiana soil, and doubted if he
would willingly leave, with the knowledge that
he now has, upon similar temptations. He
stated that he was to be formally received by
the King on June 30
