A Locust Year.

The Department of Agriculture sent
out circulars making inquiries over a
wide extent of territory regarding the
seventeen year locusts' which have
made an appearance this year in eight
StatAsof the Union The object of the
department is to ascertain accurately
the limits of the areas occupied by the
insects. There are twenty-five known
broods of them, and they turn up in
different years in various parts of the
country. Though to some extent the
infested territories overlap, each brood
comes out sf the ground only once in
seventeen years. stricklYspeaking, the
insects are not locusts, cicad9. Some
years ago it was sought to introduce
these insects as an article of diet; but
the experiments in that direction did
not promise success Clearing Of land
has done much to diminish the number
of these creatures, but their most de-
structive foe is the English sparrow,
which drops every other kind of food
and feeds on them exclusively when it
has the oportunisy.

under pressure of six atmospheres, and
drives out the air. In this condition
the butter will remain fresh for four Or

A Marvellous Book.

From an exchange paper, We learn that the
most beautiful volume among the half-mi-
lion in the congressional library at Washing
ton is a bible, which was transcribed by a
monk in the sixteenth century. 1t could not
be matched to-day in The best printing office
in the world. The parchment is in perfect
preservation. Every one of its thousand pag-
es is a study. The general lettering is in Ger
man text each letter perfect, as liz every one,
in coal black ink, without scratch or blot
from nd to lid. At the beginning of each
chap,er the first letter is very large, usually
two or three inches long, and Is brightly IL
Illuminated in red and blue ink.
W thin each of these capitals is drawn the
figure Of some ,int, some incident of which
the following chapter tells, is illustrated.
There are two columns on a page, and no
where is lraceable the slightest rregularity
of line, space or formation Of the letters. Even
under a magniiyng glass they seem iawless.
This precious volume is kept under glass
use, which is sometimes lifted 10 show thai

A legend relates that young man who had
sinned deeply became a monk and resolved
To do pananre for his miSdeedS. He deter

had violated Every day for many years he
patiently pursued his task. E.ch letter was
wrought in reverence and love, and the pa

Sweet Picked Watermelon Rinds.

A writer in Harpers Bazaar gives the
following directions:
Peel the rind with sharp knife that
will take off the green skin evenly. Trim
off also every trace of the pink flesh of
the fruit, because it is too juicy to make
firm, crisp pickle. Then cut the
strips of rind into small pieces, two to
three inches long, and placing them in
large earthen dish, sprinkle them
lightly and evenly with salt, Cover the
dish and let it stand overnight. In the
morning drain off the water that will
have formed, rinse the rind in cold wa
ter, and cook them in steamer until a
broom splint will readily pierce them.
Cooking the rinds by steam is an easy
method, as they are less liable to burn
than when cooked in the spiced vine
gar. When the rinds are tender, take
them out carefully with skinner and
put them in q stone jar.
Take some good cider vinegar for
the.basls of the pickle. Allow pound
Of sugar to pint of vinegar, and add
also half an ounce Of stick cinnamon
broken into inch pieces, and half tea
spoonful each of whole cloves and
blades of mace. The whole amount of
vinegar, sugar, and spices used must, of
course, depend on the quantity of r1nds
to be picked, but a quart Of vinegar is
usually sufficient for the rinds Of a me-
dunn sized melon. Boil the vinegar,
sugar, and spices together vigorously
half an hour, skimming off the froth,
and pour the pickle boiling hot over
the rinds. Press the rlnds down under
the pickle by means of an earthen plate
or saucer, fasten the cover on, and tie a
cloth over the whole. These pickles
will be ready for use in two weeks.

The Joke On The Parent.

Thank said the reverend doctor,
taking the match and lightning the
cigar. '.This reminds me of another
match Did you ever travel one of
those branch line, independent 60 as
you please Southern railways ?: did
once, and the monotony was varied by
a lovely incident. AS we wal led for
the conductor at a station he had
stopped OF, to visit his family a young
couple came aboard in hurry. Before
long We learned that they had e'oped,
and were bound for a Gre:na Green
just over the state line, where the law
didn't call for a license and other de-.
lays in marrying.
They we've greatly Austera.ed because
the la parent was in pursuit But
finally the train got away without the
parent appearing, Isay got away and
mean that it left the station, but the
station, you know, wasn't any kind Of a
racer. Finally the state line was pas
sed and the long desired town reached
and as.we all alighted who do you. sup
pose appeared ? None other than the
irate parent. His patient mule had
gone ahead, beaten the train and there
he stood (the parent, not the mule) a
conquering hero, ready to intercept the
two.We found he been waiting near
ly 80 minutes.
"But, DOCTOR" interrupted listen
er, why didn't you perform the care
mony on the train when you reached
the state line -

Habits of Thought.

Habit reigns as supreme in the region of
thought as in that of action. We often see
psrsons whose lines of thought run mainly in
| the same groove, be it art, or science, or pol
| itics, the accumulation of wealth, or the de
sire of fame. Their thoughts become as tru-
| ly fixed habits as anything which they are &C
enstomed to do with their hands. There are
sume people whose minds drift hither and
| thither with every passing wind of crcum-
stance; for so long time has such been their
Others have acquired the habit of self-control,
not only in their active d; eds, but also IN
| their silent thoughts. By frequent practice
| they have attained the power Of concentrating
their minds upon one subject for time, and
| of turning it to another when they deem it ad-
visableE
Again, if we could examine the ideas which
men hold, we should perhaps be surprised to
find how many of them are due to habit rath-
er than logic. In childhood man took for
granted whatever he heard expressed by those
to whom he looked up with respect When
ever he heard any of their ideas criticised by
others he resented it, and clung firmly to them
These opinions have come to be settled habits
of mind with him. He regards them as Ger
tainties, and looks with suspicion upon those
| who do not share them. Yet, if challenged
to defend them, he is utterly at loss. They
are his only by adoption; he never earned the
right to CAL them truly his own by the hard
mental work of ofinvestiga' ion.
This is the history of many of our most
cherished notions, the foundation on which
thousands Stand in politics, in science, in the
problems Of the day, in social ob-e rvance, in
ethics, in theology. This practice of thinking
fom habit. if universal, would put an end to
all progress. Happily, there are always some
men and women who are resisting this tenden
cy-the leaders Of public opinion, the pioneers
in the march of intellectual progress. Their
effort should be, however, less TO impress their
own views upon other minds than to help eve
ry man to form his own ideas in an Intelligent
Way.
