Millions of Crickets.

For the past three years about the
middle of August Dallas was visited by
a fight Of small hardshell beetles, which
at night would strew themselves over
the sidewalks and occasionally crawl
down the backs of passersby.. This year
there has been a change in the pro-
gramme, and instead Of beetles there
has come visitation of crickets of the
singing variety, which has been immor-
talized by the poet who wrote 1.-THE
Cricket on the Hearth" A single cricket
hidden away behind large friedrich
occasionally touches tender chord, but
when the horny looking things cluster
by millions, frying in the electric lights
and crawling over the sidewalks, the
idea of the poetic gives way to that of
the hideous. The creatures seemed to
descend from the clouds, as if attracted
by the electric lights while migrating in
the upper regions Of the atmosphere.
The dip of their descent was toward the
south, indicating that they came from
the north.-Dallas News.

The Waste at a Summer Hotel.

In accordance with the long estab-
lished and destructive idea which has
prevailed in the best hotels of the United
States from time immemorial, at least
twice as much food is served as the
guest can eat. The result is that at least
fifty barrels Of waste are carted away
from this hotel each day by man en-
ployed for that purpose. In the rush
consequent upon the feeding of so many
persons silverware and other articles in
use in the dining rooms are constantly
being thrown into the receptacles for
this waste material, and consequently
the services of one man are required to
search and rescue these utensils.
At certain seaside hotel 5000 per-
sons can be fed at one time. One
Saturday and Sunday nearly 10000
persons were catered to between the
hours of 11:30 a. m. and p. m. Judg-
ing from the amount Of food de-
voured, every man, woman and child
visiting the beach that day must have
been hungry. The value of the silver
ware and crockery used by this immense
crowd amounted in the aggregate to
$50, 900. Each one required three nap
hns, one for personal use and the other
two for the walters USE Five plates
were used with each order, no matter
how trivial, which ran the total number
of pieces of crockery up to 70, 000.-New

Lay Your Foundation FirsG

Here comes youngster with the ques-
ton, "How shall get into vegetable
gardening?" Well, it is very simple
thing. How would you begin to build a
smoke house? Why, Of course, begin at
the bottom. All right. So it is with a
garden; you must begin at the bottom.
Now the bottom Of a garden is never less
than one foot below the surface, and
from that depth up to the top the soil
must be at least one-quarter manure to
begin with, and must be kept up by
yearly renewals to that proportion. If
you have got multiplication table, a
slate and pencil and good, sound head
on your shoulders (you will want all
these in growing vegetables) you can
soon find out how much manure it will
take to lay the foundation. Mix in all
through that foot of depth, and then you
can build any kind Of crop on your
land you choose. Lay your foundation,
young man, and we will tell you how to
put up the structure afterward. Ger

SAN Francisco, Oct. 11.-Collector
Phelps, in answer to questions regarding
procedure under the Mckinley bill, has
received instructions from o. L. Spald-
ing, assistant secretary of the treasury,
to the following effect: Goods in bonded
warehouses on and prior to October 6,
which are reduced in duty by the new
tariff act, may now be withdrawn at re-
duced rates. Crude opium can be with
drawn only for consumption upon the
payment of the duty assessed under the
old act. Goods in bond can be withdrawn
at the old rates until February 1st,
if the duty has been lessened.
Jute cults, if not entered and if no per-
NIT of delivery has been issued prior to
October 9th, will be exempt under the
new act. Merchandise entered in other

Immediate transportation were issued

Most students and women who are
troubled with insomnia are dyspeptic,
and they should therefore eat before
going to bed. having put aside work at
least an hour before. If they are not
hungry they should simply be instructed
to eat, and if they are hungry they
should eat whatever they want. A
glass of milk and biscuit is sometimes
all that can be taken at first or mashed
potato buttered. If possible, the night
meal should be taken in another room
than the sleeping apartment, and for
men in the city it will be found advan-
tageous to go out to a restaurant. Be-
fore eating, however, a bath should be
taken, preferably cold or cool, which
should be given with a sponge or stiff
brush, and the body thoroughly rubbed
off with a coarse towel afterward.

His Arm Torn OF.

An employee in Cincinnati brewery
met with a frightful accident few days
ago. An endless belt, in which are large
hooks for holding the beer kegs, runs up
and down through the hatchway. He
was working on the first floor, and there
being no lights burning he walked into
the shaft. He fell about seven feet, and
his arm catching on one of the hooks the
member was torn open from the Shout
der to the wrist, and he was held there
for fifteen minutes before his fellow
workmen succeeded in releasing him.
He received terrible shock, but it is
thought that only for catching on the
hook he would have been dashed to death
on the cellar floor eighteen feet below

HOW voLAPuk SOUNDS.


Opinions Of . Listener at the Recent
Convention In Boston.
The convention opened with an ad-
dress in volapuk by the president of the
association. Col. Charles E. Sprague, of
New York. OF course his address was
received attentively, but it cannot be
said that he was speaking to people in
their own language. His listeners
doubtless understood part of his re-
marks; for he was applauded two or
three times, but to the majority of the
Ing came only with difficulty. Now,
how did the new invention sound? Well,
there was great predominance of the
European and Tor ee) and Of the long
o. In every sentence each one of these
v0wels seemed to outnumber all the
others put together. Consonants were
obscure as Col. Sprague spoke them,
and it was noticeable that the sibillant
was very frequent. The letter also
seemed to De hard worked member Of
the volapuk alphabet.
From the prominence of these few
vowels and consonants and from the OBJ
security Of other consonants one can get
an idea Of how volapuk sounds. The
pronunciation follows the French in
having no accent. That is, Col. Sprague
talked with just about the same stress
on each syllable, and paid close atten-
ton to this feature of the flow of sound
after noticing it. Lacking accent, vola-
puk lacks the force which is so strong
characteristic of English, and it also
shows sadly the need of the virile con-
sonants, which are the life of German.
Perhaps nothing better could be expect
ed of an invented tongue, for the English
and German are the result of genius and
struggle, of wars and disputes, of ora
tons and poems, Of business sharpness
and philosophical contemplation. They
are alive. Volapuk is wooden and dead.
That is the impression made upon me
by hearing Col. Sprague's address in his
vernacular-no, not his nor anybody's.
It was convention Of English speaking
people using neither their own vernacu-
lar nor that Of any other people under
heaven. It was just hashed up Choctaw.
Col. Sprague talked seriously, but his
WOxOI41A1u8 udu 1uo Au1uOIOuo ASPECT.
He was wonderfully proficient, and is to
be praised highly for his ability to talk
in that which has no dialect and no
every day vocabulary, and so is above
the usual perils to translators. In book
translated into English from German by
Dutchman who had to learn both the
former languages I have seen the most
curious mistakes and odd combinations,
yet not in violation of rules given in the
books. But there was no one to criticise
the colonel, who was born and bred a
Volapuk. He was not perfect, however
Hewould go wrong sometimes, and then
step back for fresh start, like boat
humping up to float bow on, and then
rebounding for second approach. But
he got through very creditably.
A delegate from the floor said some
thing in Volapuk in labored way and
soon struck into English. It was as if
he had been stumbling across lots in a
bog meadow and had come out into the
travelled road again. He certainly
seemed much relieved and got along
much easier in English. Springfield

A Boy with a Prodigious Appetite.

Whatever credit is due to the possessor
of the largest appetite on record must be
given to boy named Matthew baking,
who, after recovering from fever, ex-
hibited an extraordinary craving for
food. If not fed he would gnaw the flesh
off his bones. DR.. Mortimer, secretary
Of the Royal society, kept an account of
the food eaten by the boy, and states
that in six days he swallowed Of bread,
meat and various substances 1874 pounds

boy looked pretty well in the face and
was always cheerful. but had lost the
