THE SEVENTEEN YEARo LOCUSTS.
PROFESSOR RILEY EXPLAINS THEIR COM
ING

Prof. Riley, the entomologist of the de.
partment of agriculture, has just published
his promised pamphlet on the periodical
cicada, or the s'seventeen year locust" as it
is often enormously called, and the thirteen
year race of cicada. The professor says they
are not locusts. The first appearance of the
seventeen year brood, he says, was recorded
as long ago as 1888. That brood and the
thirteen year brood sometimes occur in the
same State, yet, in general terms, the seven
teen year broods may be said to belong to
the northern and the thirteen year broodsto
the southern States. Professor Riley states
that he published the discovery of the thir-
teen wear brood in 1868, and, four months
later, he was gratifed to find that DR.. Gid
con B. Smith, of Baltimore, had made the
same discovery, though he had never given
it to the world. 1t so happened that one of
the largest seventeen year broods, together
with one of the largest thirteen year broods
appeared simultaneously in the summer OF
1868. Such an event, however, so far as re-
CARDS these two particular broods, had not
taken place since the year 1647, nor will it
take place again till the year 2089. There
are absolutely no perceptible specific differ
ences between the two broods other than in
the time of maturing but while the insects
forming these two classes of broods are not
specifically distinct, they are good and dis
tinct races, which do not cross. The Larvae
of the ccada are often found at a great depth.
One case is reported where they had been
found at the depth of ten feet. Eggsare de-
posted more generally in oaks and hicko-
ries, though they are found in all deciduous
trees. The eggs hatch about six weeks after
they are deposited. In regard to the inju-
ry which cicadas cause, the professor cites
report where they are said to have killed
pear trees, but he also quotes from the late
DIR. Smith, of Baltimore, as follows:
"The Larvae obtains its food from the small
vegetable radicles that everywhere pervade
the fertile earth. It takes it's food from the
surface of these roots, consisting of the moist
exudation Qike animal perspiration), for
which purpose its rostrum or snout is pro-
vided with three exceedingly delicate ca
pillaries, or hairs which project from the tip
of the snout and sweep over the surface,
gathering up the minute drops of moisture.
This is it's only food"
Professor Riley adds that the truth of the
matter seemsto be that, while they do pune
ture and receive nourishment from the roots
of trees, they rarely, if ever, produce in this
way any serious injury.

THE MANNERS OF BoYs.-Boys at GER

THE MANNERS OF BoYs.-Boys at GER
tain transitory age are apt to be awkward.
Outdoor exercise and sports do much to
make them strong and straight; yet it is
very common among those who growing
fast Especially if they read or study good
deaD, to find the head thrust forward, the
shoulders round and STOPPING, and slouch-
ing, ungraceful carriage. Until these things
are corrected, no boy can be thoroughly
strong and vigorous. Biting the nails is
one of the most annoying habits, and yet
one which almost any boy will fall into un-
less his mother 'nips it in the bud" Not
only is it almost uncomfortable for nervous
person to sit in the room with one of these
nail-biting boys, but the young mans hands
are injured in appearance, and, if the hab-
it be continued to excess, they will become
almost deformed. In these days Of profess
sional manicures, mothers ought at least to
see that there are no ragged nails and raw
fingers among their children. A habit Of
snufing, or scraping the throat, of tapping
the floor with the foot, or table with the
knuckles comes on gradually, but, once fix
ed is exceedingly difficult to overcome.
External vigilance should be a mothers
watchword, for the true secret of curing
bad habits is in never allowing them to be
formed. The "ounce of prevention is worth

not take away anything of boyishness or
naturalness. A real boy is worth half a
dozen fops or dudes. But l do not see why
boys should not be as graceful and we'll
hammered as their sisters; why they can
not sit down at table without hitting it
and jarring the dishes as we'll as the tenn
pers of the whole family; why they can
not eat slowly and noiselessly; why they
cannot cross room without stumbling
against the furniture or close Il door with
out samming it; or sit quietly while read
ing or listening. 1t should be perfectly
natural for boy to lift his hat to his moth
er or sister when he meets them or the
street; to rise from comfortable chair when
older persons enter the room; to entertain a
visitor when the rest of the household is
occupied. DO you say it is too much tor
boy to think of all these things? If the
mother has trained him from babyhood
constantly and carefully, he will do them
without thinking. Good manners are a
growth, and boyhood is the time, and home
the place in which they should grow.

CULTURE AND HAPPlNESS.-NOWl lie is
not only what we make it, but it is, very
largely, what we think it is. If we hold
before ourselves constantly some dreary
"might have been;" if we think it is, in
some unexplainable way, finer and more
exalted to set ourselves to a minor key of
some miserere, we may become in reality
very unhappy. There is no law, unfortu-
nately against people making themselves
unhappy. There is no law, unfortunately,
against peoples making themselves wretch
ed. Schopenhaue's theory is that culture
makes for unhappiness that the more cul
tivated is an individual the more sensitive
is he to physical discomfort or mental troub-
les, and that he is thereby a being formed
to be Jared upon at every turn. tits very
possible that the old adage about little
learning applies to this case. A superficial
culture doubtless increases ones sensibili-
ties in various ways without producing a
corresponding increase of resources; but
the deeper culture supplies these and en-
ables it's possessor to bear thousand trials
or to discover means to surmount them as
may be, of which the more ignorant indi-
vidual would never have dreamed.-Boston

have been misinterpreted, l wish to say
that brother MacGregor, although com
PEELED for little while to stop his work
in the Lamar Street church by the bur-
den of work thrown on him as President
of Austin College, has, at the earnest re-
quest OF his people, consented to con-
tinue to supply them as far as his other
duties will allow; and that the church
is not disorganized 1t is a small organ
ization, and owing to the shifting char
acter of the population, it, like all our
churches in this region, does not show
much growth in numbers from year to
year, as the removals about balance the
additions. Brother MacGregor has la
bored here most conscientiously and
faithfully and at his own charges, and
deserves and should receive great credit
for his self-sacri6ciDg work. 1t has been
to him labor of love. His Sabbath
School is in fourishing condition; and
now that he expects to begin to supply
the pulpit as his time will allow, it is to
be earnestly hoped that success will
abundantly reward his labors. During
the short time that he has been President
of Austin College, he has been very sue
cessful in Strengthening out ito affairs !;
and l am confident that he will be still
more successful, and that in less than
two years the college will be out of debt
and on an increased career of usefulness,
if the Church in Texas will only fulfil
its pledges to him and the college given
through its representatives in Synod last
fall. Yours truly,

Foreign Missions.
BALTIMORE, April 81, 1885.

A generous friend of our Church in
Racine, Wisconsin wrote letter, which
was received here after we had begun to
prepare the circular which was published
last week. He wrote to say that in his
judgment, our Church ought to have a
mission in Japan, and he offered to give
one hundred dollars for this object. He
added that as he wished his money to do
as much as possible, he would propose to
be one of twelve to give this sum.
In publishing this offer to the Church,
we feel confidence that the end which our
friend aims at will be reached We know
not few noble men aud women in our
Church, who, we are sure, would think it
no great thing to give such a sum to so
grand cause. But We would avail our
selves of this opportunity to remind all
in the Church that in the collection for
Foreign Missions which is now at hand
each one of us is called to determine what
is the amount of our debt to the heathen
Our debt indeed is owing to our Re-
deemer, who loved us and died for u.s.
Had friend, when the flames were al
ready kindled about the chamber in
which we slept, rushed In and saved us
and our family, and in doing this had
sacrificed his own life, and had he with
his dying breath told us that while we
could not pay him for what he had done,
we might pay the debt to his wife and
children, with what gratitude, with what
tenderness, with what zeal for our own
honor, would we pay such an obligation
as this Christ who died for us reminds
US that we can pay nothing directly to
Him" My goodness ittendeth not to
thee"-but He instructs us to pay the
debt by giving the gospel, with our love
and our prayers to the world. 1t was in
view of this Paul said, am a debtor
both to the Greeks and Barbarians, both
to the wise and to the unwise." 1t is in
view of this each one of us is now a debt
or to the millions of our fellow men who
are without the gospel. At the approach
ing collection we are called to say with
what sum we shall show forth our obliga-
tion to our Saviour. With what sum shall
we pay the debt?

The churches of Atlanta, Ca, have
been very much exercised over the recent Char
ity Ball in that city. All of the preachers op-
posed it. except Rev. ]. G.. Armstrong, Rector
OF st. Philips church. On last Sunday morning
Mr.. Armstrong advocated the ball and dancing
in very strong terms, and among other things,
advanced the idea that those who were without
social standing sufficient to procure entrance to
such entertainments, needed to struggle very
hard against Pharseesm and the spirit of self
righteousness The remarks of Mr. Armstrong
aroused the other preachers of Atlanta very
much, among whom was DR.. J B. Hawthorne
of the First Baptist church. who at night preach
ed to an immense congregation, on the subject
of, "Personal Piety." In the course Of his SER
mon he met in bold and fearless manner the
statements of Mr. Armstrong, without mention
ing the name of the gentleman 1t is thought
that the contest will now become more severe
than ever If the result shall be to discourage
Christians from dancing we shall rejoice that
the subject has been so plainly discussed.
