letter to the Rockville (Md.)
Adrorate says: My first observation
of them was in 1851. A thrifty young
sugar maple tree was apparently
ruined by their incisions, but, having
been well trimmed, it is now one oi
the finest trees in the town. Their
next visit was in 1868. On the 5Vth
Of May they were rstnoticed, ascend
ing the trees in great numbers a.
night. Early in the morning they
camo out of their shells. and, after
being warmed and turned black by the
sun. flew off. For about a week they
came up in great numbers, the grouhu

from their first appearance they hau
pierced the limbs of bushes and ten

They begin to die off rapidly, and by
last Of June but few were seen OF

compared with their countless rum
bers. Their noise was at its height
about the middle of June. The maze

or muscles. The eggs are deposited
side by side in the Sits or puhctureS
made in the limbs, about dozen IN
one place, and each female laying
about 100 eggs. Hogs and chickens
fatten on the locusts, and it was no
ticed that the corn was undiSturbed
by crows. and very few were seen. as
they found abundance of food for
themselves and their young in botD

The only damage done was by the
limbs of young trees breaking off
where they had been punctured.
Their being poisonous to beast or hui
man is myth.
The only care requisite is, that If
about to plant out young orchard,
the trees should have been long
enough out to bear having the young
er limbs trimmed back, or else should
be left until 1886. Sometimes on the
borders of two districts there will be a
visitation twice in II years, as some

Read less and Think Moro

The late Charles O'Conor, perhap,
the most profound lawyer New Yorl
city has produced, gave piece of adj
vice to a young man which is as valua
bic as any legal opinion for which tht
distinguished lawyer ever received a
fee, a lad wrote to him, giving a
long list of books which he had already
gone through, and asking advice as tc
a course of reading Mr. O'Conor re-
piled that che had not only not read.
but had not known even by name one
half Of the books his correspondent ap-
peared to have read. He would not
therefore, undertake to advise him
what to read, but hc could safely I'D
wise him to read less and think more"
This anecdote comes from recent
number of the Century.
The advice was not, however. origi-
nal with Mr.. O'Con0r. In the Phila-
delphia Leoiger some time since an OIL
der authority was quoted to the same
purport. Probably the same sound
wisdom could be traced to the time of
the invention of printing. "Read less
(of trash and think more" has a pith-
mess which makes the advice all the
more easy to keep in mind. And fol
lowing it would enable the temperate
reader not only to think but to re-
member more of what he reads.
Remembering more would give
practical value to the ideas
acquired and the facts obtained.
Perhaps Mr.. O'Conor's opinion
on reading is to be qualified little
by his practice. 1t seems that his
reading was very much confined to the
purpose of his profession. No doubt
this limit increased his wonderful
efficiency in his pursuits. But it
would be great abridgemeDt of mental
freedom to restrict the reader to his
speciality and forbid excursions outside
of that. The mind is enlarged by a
variety of topics, and there is scarcely
any subject, however foreign to a
persons daily life, from
which he may not derive some advan-
tage. There is nothing in the way of
learning which stands so much alone
that it cannot be illustrated by other
and indeed apparently dissimilar mat
-ers. Still the caution holds good
TO most readers-"read less and think
more"

Pap,r SIipners.

Paper slippers are the latest form in
which paper is introduced in new in
ventions. An Englishman has patent
ed system of manufacturing slippers,
sandals, and other coverings for the
feet out of paper. Paper pulp, or pa

which is moulded to the desired form
and size, and a sole is provided made
of paper or pasteboard, leather board
or other suitable paper material, which
is united to the upper by means of ce-
ment, glue, OF other adhesive material.
The upper is creased, embossed, or
perforated at the instep and sides,
which renders them somewhat pliable,
and prevents their cracking while in

Ayers SarSaparilla.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail
ure TO effect a radical cure.
Some years ago one Of Mr.. LELAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerabe. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr. LELANDs direc-
tion, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb TO use.

Nevada Methods Of TransnortatIon

O'""" MethOdS OF transportation.
An ingenious way is adopted in
Nevada for getting logs to market. A
chute is laid from the rivers brink ur
the steep mountain to the railroad
The logs come down the deciyity with
the speed of thunderbolt ana some
what OF its roar. A track of fire and
smoke follows them-lre struck by
thelI friction with the chute logs.
lhey descend the seventeen hundred
feet of the chute in fourteen seconds
IN doing SO they drop seven hundred
leet perpendicular. They strike the deer
water with a report that can be heard
mile distant. Logs fired from can.
non could scarcely have greater
velocity than they at the foot of the
chute. The average velocity is over
one hundred feet second throughout
the entire distance and at the instant
'hey leap from the mouth their speed
must be fully two hundred feet per
second.
