cricket and heard its chirp among the
foliage in the fall, as it is quite com
mon at that season. The crickctS be-
come frl grown at this time and it is
her that the female. in order to propa-
gate her kind. instinctively becomes an
enemy to the raspberry producer. With
a long ovipositor which she knows
how to use. an incision half way through
the zane is made and in this is
placed a yellowish white egg about
onc-eighth of an inch long. Then
others are placed by the side of this till
there are often fifteen or more in n row
as seer in the figure. The wood dies
around the puncturcs and the cane often
dies above the wound or is weakened
enough to break off. 1t may survive
the winter and not break till some
windy day when the foliage has issued.
but a zane badly punctured is almost
worthless.
Strange as it may seem. the cricket
feeds on the raspberry at no time in its
life. When the eggs hatch in carly
summer. the young cricketS leave the
canes and live upon plant lice at first
and later upon ripe fruits and s%ucculent
foods. The eggs are probably placed
inside the canes for better protection
from the depredations of predacious
and parasitic insects that would other
wise devour them.
Every cane that contains the eggs of
this cricket should b, cut off below the
wound and burned. If care is taken in
doing this, the crickcts for this year
will nearly all be destroyed while yet
in the egg state and the canes next fall
will be nearly exempt from such at
tack.-G. c. Davis, in Farm, Field and
StOckman.

Scatter your flowers alike today,
Over the graves OF the blue and gray.
Time has healed all the nations scars,
Peace has hushed all the noise OF wars,
And north and south, and east and west
There beats but one heart in the nations
breast;
The grass is green and the flowers bloom
Alike upon soldier and sailors tomb;
So scatter your flowers alike to-day.
Over the graves OF the blue and gray.
All! each was gallant and brave and true,
Whether he wore the gray or the blue;
Alike each sought for a soldiers fame,
Alike each won him q soldiers name
Yet what the guerdon each soldier foundf
A dreamless sleep meath a grassy moundi
o let us forget what coat each wore,
Let us scatter our lowers freely DER
The sacred spots where sleep to-day
The dead who orce wore the blue and gray
Alas! for the tear drops shed like dew
Over the gray and over the blue;
Alas, for the eyes that sought in vain
For the soldier dead on the battle plain
Came death alike TO friend and to foe,
To wives and mothers like grief and woei
And the bitter sorrow our sad hearts knew
Was felt for the loss OF both gray and blue;
Then scatter your flowers alike to-day,
Over the graves OF the blue and gray.
Obi by the bitter tears VIC shed
Alike DER our lov'd ones lying dead,
Oil by the common grief We knew
Whether we mourned the gray or blue;
BY the drops scarce dry on the widows cheek.
By the common language our children speak,
We have bid all malice forever cease,
We have blessed the land with a lasting peace
And scatter our flowers alike to-day
Over the graves Of the blue and gray.

BODIES.
How DIR. variot EIectroplates tho Hon
ored Dead.

How DR.. variot EIectroplates the Hon.
ored Dead.
DR.. Variot, one Of the most distin-
guished physicians of the Paris hospi-
tails, makes a striking proposition for
the transformation of human bodies into
indestructible mummies by means of a
process Of electroplating. BY this
the entire form is surrounded by an en-
velope Of metal which preserves each
feature in the semblance Of life, says
the Scientific American.
The process is somewhat complicated
in practice although simple In princi-
pie. The skin Of the cadaver is first
painted or sprayed with a solution of
nitrate of silver, which turns the skin
an Opaque black. The body is then
placed under a bell receiver in a partial
vacuum, into which vapor Of white
phosphorus dissolved In bisulphate Of
carbon is allowed to enter. This re-
duces the nitrate of silver and leaves
the skin a grayish white, like n plaster
cast.
The next step is the application Of
the metallic coating. The frame sup
porting the body is immersed in a bath
Of sulphate of copper, electrical con-
nection having been made with the top
of the skull, the bottoms of the feet, the
hands and several other portions of the
body and limbs.
DIR. Variot uses three small Chnudron
thermo-electric batteries to supply the
necessary current, the passage of which
causes the uninterrupted deposition OF
the metal. A continuous layer is soon
formed over the body, and the metallic
skin may be made Of any thickness de-
sired, but a coating of one-twenty-fifth
to one-fiftieth Of an inch is sufficient to
resist blows and shocks and still pre-
serve the features in every delicate de-
tail.

POULTRY PICkINGS.

PrILErs that are hatchcd early and

early.
THE young poultry should have a
good range as soon as their growth will
permit.
SOME ventilation is necessary, but in
giving it good care must be taken to
avoid direct draughts-
BrMBI.E foot is nearly always caused
by having the roosts toe high. The best
remedy is to lower the roosts and use
vascline.
If well fed from the start ducks
ought to be ready for market at ten
weeks old. and at that age should aver

As THE weather gets warmer more
ARE is necessary to pick up the eggs

they should not be allowed a free range,

tions set steadily to work to heal the
wounds of war. Among these peace
makers were Col. Wallace of Tennes-
see, and Judge Reynolds of Indiana
The Judge had been deferred by of.
fetal duties from visiting the south,
and removing his sons remains until
the summer of 1865. He started about
the first of July, accompanied by Lila,
upon this sad errand. He arrived in
the middle of an oppressively hot after
noon. Lila insisted upon proceeding
Immediately to the grave. Getting
directions from the hotel keeper, they
passed down the shady streets and out
to the cemetery. Entering the in
closure, they saw a little girl about
'Lila's age arise from a grave, from
which she had been pulling the weeds.
Lila whispered:
30, papa, that little girl looks like
my rebel"
As Cora gazed at them she thought:
How much like my Yankee that lit
tie girl looks"
MY child, can you show me the
grave of a northern soldier named Har-
ry Reynolds"
Yes. sir; this is it," was the low
sweet reply.
The strong man and the little girl
knelt reverently by the grassy mound.
Cora drew back a few PAGES, and
viewed the scene. She understood the
case, and was in thorough sympathy
with it. After the judge could control
his emotion, he asked:
''Who has cared so tenderly for my
boys grave?"
II, SIR" again came Cora's low sweet
voice.
And what is your name my, child?"
he asked, arising, and taking her hands
in his.
'Cora Wallace, sir"
Here Lila eagerly inquired:

the Morgan raid through Indiana?"
Eyes, he was killed on that raid"

a long embrace of subdued Joy, while
Judge Reynolds shook and swayed with
uncontrolled emotion. He and his lit

THE r c IN MEXICO.
An American Institution Which Is Very

Crude entertainment as it is, the cir
Gus is gradually replacing in Mexico the
wanton brutality of the bull fight In
many of the states the bull fight is pro-
hibited by law, and in Mexico City and
the largest state capitals the revolving
exhibitions are becoming more and
more i%nfrequent. The reputation Of
the circus, meanwhile, is stcadi-
" increasing. 1t is the most
popular American institution in
Mexico. There may be a deep
rooted dislike of the invading host Of
American railway operatives, mining
engineers, contractors, spectators and
tramps, but the prejudice does not ex-
tend to the American clown who can
crack jokes in tolerable Spanish. Let
him be careful to avoid wounding ma
tional susceptibilities and he will be the
most popular American in Mexico, but
if he once gives occasion for offense he
will be Missed whenever he reappears
in the town and never forgotten. Mex
leans have tenacious memories when

cent unnecessary and wanton affronts.
The successful American clown of the
evening could give diplomatists, if he
would, useful hints for regulating their

keen wit leaves no sting behind it. His
merry jests keep the audience in a
tumultuous state of merriment from
nine until midnight Then the cafes are
filled with loungers for another hour
