widespread wretcheiness.

The horrors OF the Johnstown disas-
ter have blinded the worlds eyes to
the suffering iu other flooded districts
OF Pennsylvania which are almost
equally in need Of assistance. At
Williamsport from fifty to hundred
lives were lost and $1,000, 900 worth OF
property swept away. and three thou
sand people are wandering about
homeless. These people are mostly of
the laboring class, whose houses were
near the Susquehauna and whose all
has been destroyed. Along every
creek pouring into the river houses
have been washed away and the home
less people are constantly wandering
into the town with their piteous
stories OF distress and need. The
business men of the place have suffer
ed terrible losses. millions Of feet OF
lumber having been swept down the
Susquehanna. The people are in dire
need OF aid. clamoring for bread, and
from the whole district comes appeals
which must move the hardest hearts.
Farming lands have been stripped of
their soil and growing crops destroyed
along the Juniata aud Susluehaana rlv-
ers. The news OF desolatlOn and ruin in
the country districts is appalling, and
it is probable that no estimate can ever
be made Of the loss OF life aud prop
erty caused by the destructive spring
freshets of 1889. If people all over
the land open their hearts and purses

with a soft border Of white lace rucbing.
The neck is cut out IN front in small v,

Two or three visiting dressing dresses
are exquisitely French examples Of the use

hangs straight from throat TO feet, slightly
caught up on both sides TO show the velvet

The FllRht OF INSECTS.

Some insects use all four wings in flight,
such, for example, as the dragon-fiiCs,
bees, wasps and maytiies, Some, like the
beetles, locust and the Hemiptera, or
half-winged insects, only use the hind pair
of wings for flight, the first pair being
greatly thickened, and forming covers
called 'elyira, beneath which the flying
wings can be sheltered when not in use
In many insects, such as the common blue
bottle ay and the gnat tribe, one pair Of
wings appears to have vanished altogether;
but in reality they are only undeveloped,
and sim exist in rudimentary form. In
case of the blue-bottle they form tiny
''alule," or wlnglets, while in the case of
the gnat they are shriyeled up into pair OF
little slender spikes, the tips of which are
knobbed.
