why He stopped Killing Locusts.

Some time ago the authorities OF the
Caucasian region made arrangements
TO destroy the eggs Of locusts in their
respective districts; they ordered all
peasants and farmers To busy them
selves with the work. placed naphtha
Mt their disposal TO pour on nests OF
locust eggs which could not be de-
stroyed by hand aud offered prizes to
those destroying the largest number OF
the pests. At first the people took to
this work with alacrity but now they
have become discouraged. They des-
pair OF success because. rs Novoye

lowing curious legend was spread
among them: To n farmer engaged 10

answered the farmer.

old man. Il ann the locusts' king and
I will bring my hosts into these regions

'.But they will not believe me, my
master" demonstrated the farmer.

man.
He touched the forehead of the
farmer with his staff and disappeared.
The form OF locust appeared on tho
spot touched by the old man. The
farmer now goes about preaching
against the destruction OF locusts aud
displaying the sign that was given
him.

JAPANESE PLAYING CARDS.
Forty Nine Make n Deck" and They Are
Queerly Marked.

The history OF playing cards, their
introduction into Europe from The east
by the gypsies or by the home-return-
ing crusaders. the change and develop
ment they underwent while being
adapted from tho cards of the orient
and altered into those that are familiar
10 our eyes. have been dwelt upon 10y
numbers Of writer's says Science but
the cards used in Japan have not been
mentioned in any of the best-known
histories. although they are more dis
tinclly original than any others. and
they show no marks of the common
origin which the Italian. Spanish. Ger
man, French. Hindoo, and Chinese
cards display.
The Japanese cards. We learn from
a paper by Mrs. j. King van Renssc-
laer. in the Proceeding Of the Ma
tional Museum" (vol. Is. No. S36). are
oblong and are made of pasteboard.
The backs are painted black. with
mono of the chcckered. dotted marks
which usually decorate European cards.
The designs seem TO be stencilcd, and
are brightly and appropriately colored.
aud then covered with an enamel or
yarnish which makes them quite rs
slippery as our own. They are very
much smaller than our cards, being a
little more than two inches long by
one broad.
Forty-nine in number. they are di-
yidcd Into twelve suits Of four cards in
each suit. One card Is trille smaller
than tho rest of the pack. and has a
plain white face not embellishcd with
any distinctive emblem. aud this one Is
used as Joker" The other cards
arc covered with designs that repre-
sent twelve flowers or other things APP
propriate to the week OF the year.
Each card is distinct aud different
from its fellows. even il bearing the
same emblem. aud they can be easily
distinguished and classified. not only
by the symbolic flowers they bear. but
also by character or letter that
marks nearly every card. and which
seems TO denote tho vegetable that
represents the month. The only month
that has has no floral emblem Is An-
gust. aud that suit Is marked by noun
tains and wurn,-looking skies.
January Is represented by pine trees.

The Energy OF Children.

There is sometimes an element OF
fierceness in the energy OF children.
They are not only lively and active
and noisy, but they are aggressively
so. They are not satisfied without
constant attention and sympathy.
The elders must look at that, know
this, and praise the other; and their
placldity being continually stirred. the
elders get weary OF schooling their
souls to patience.
This aggressive energy Is a terrible
strain on rasped nerves and tired body.
1t is in such moments of stress of
spirit that the mother makes the hasty
impatient speech, and then. with self.
reproach, does for the child tenfold
more than she ought, to punish herself
for the brief sin.
Ii is true, however some may ex-
claim against il, that all mothers do
not merge their whole being In mother
hood. Sometimes the spirit is willing
but the flesh is weak, and sometimes
the spirit itself rebels.
A woman who was the mother of
twelve children brought up her sons

saying: Think how badly you would

All that is true enough, though, like
some other truths. no present relief.
But when the iniiction is worst. it
might afford little help to consider
what wonderful mercy 1t is that

What help 1t is in the chances and

the energetic. enthusiastic man who
keeps Il bold front and steadfast soul
in the worlds battle-helds. 1t Is the
energetic, brave-spirited woman who
preserves happy youthful heart, and
meets trials and tribulations with

will need through life all the energy
they can command. Let US try to be
thankful they have such good supply
