The Utility OF Locasts.

Everywhere the eappearanceo of locusts
is regarded as the precursor Of famine
and misery, especially among the
populations of Asia and Africa, which
have so often suffered from this terri
BILE scourge. Nothing has hitherto
been found to effectually avert the
periodical invasions of iocusts, which
do such havoc, rendering completely

viously rich and fiourishing. But see
how different the case Is in the provin-
ce of Yemen. SAWS the Yemen S6sa1-

here is good omen; it means abund-
ance. and on the appearance Of these
insects rejoicings take place through
out the country. For several seasons
the locusts have not visited the Yemen.
but this year they have commenced to
arrive, and already the first swarms
have settled down. The Turkish au-
thorities were greatly exercised at the
sight of these unwelcome guests. and
were preparing to fight the scourgs
until they saw that the natives showed
themselves immensely pleased with
the locusts, indulging in manifesta-
tions of joy. as if blessing had been
conferred upon them. LOcusts. the
natives declared. are not in their conn
try the destructive insects they are
known TO be elsewhere; they neither
attack the crops. nor the trees. nor the
grass; and besides being a favorite
dish among the population of Arabia
Felix, where they are sometimes pre-
served for one and two years, these in
sects constitute splendid manure. The
people have even discovered in them
medical qualities: thus it is currently
believed that they form panacea for
organic diseases, for purifying the
blood. etc. As soon, therefore. as the
locusts took possession of the fields the
Arabs, men, women. and children,

this purpose that is. the wood of the
previous seasons growth. 1t should
be cut in November or December. be-
fore any extreme weather occurs. and

Keep fresh by putting it away in sand

during stormy weather in the winter.
They are made by simply cutting the
wocd with sharp knife, into sections
OF about eight inches in length; then
pack away in sand or earth. in shallow
boxes, SO that the upper ends will be
exposed to the air. Keep in this way
tin spring when the callus forms on
the lower end. and they will start more
quickly into growth than if cut in
spring, just before setting them in tie
ground.
1lkspianting them out, it is important
that the lower ends should have the
earth packed tightly against them. and
to do this successfully it is necessary, if
planting them in a nursery. to open a
trench by stake and line, or if in the
forest to throw out spadeful of earth
at each place where the cuttings are to
be inserted. They should be set deep

ing sleep the brain is normally congest-
ed. There is, no doubt, such a thing
as congestive sleep, but during normal
sleep the bra fn is anamic. When a
person has tai ken farely abundant
lunch OR dinner the stomach demands a
special influx bf blood wherewith to ac-
complish its work of digestion;nO organ

mand than the brain, which, when in
