The DESTROYING criclse,s In 1d,ho

The onward march Of the crickets in
Idaho is described by the correspondents
as something more terrible to the farm
ers than an army with banners. The lit
tie pests made their appearance in north
ern Idaho in May and have been moving
toward the south and east ever since,
eating every blade of grain and grass on
the way and even destroying the foliage
and fruit. The farmers have been crush
ing them with rollers, burning them with
sage brush fires and roasting them as they
swim across the rivers and bitches with
burning oil, but they still move on by
millions, undaunted by the slaughter
and nndismayed by anything except Il
lack of verdnre. Just how far They are

nIushing ,,:,d AlAnuhing.

Blushing is not an art. Neither is it
an absolute sign of i'll breeding, as some
unkind folk maintain. The fact is it is
just as natural for some people to blush
on one occasion as it is for others to turn
pale on another. The same laws of ma
ture which govern the one rule govern
the other. The capillaries or small blood
vessels which connect the arteries and
veins i'll the body form, particularly over
the cheeks, q network so fine that it is
necessary to employ microscope to dis
tinguish them.
Ordinarily the blood passes through
these vessels in normal volume, leaving
only the natural complexion. But when
some sudden emotion takes possession of
the heart its action increases, and an
electric thrill instantly leaps to the
cheeks. The thrill is nothing more than
the rush of blood through the invisible
capillaries. The color is nothing more
than the blood just beneath the delicate
surface of the skin. The causes that
lating system are called mental stimuli
They consist of JOY, anger, shame and
the many other emotions.
Sudden horror, renorse or fear, on
the contrary, influence the nerves which
control the blood vessels, and the face
becomes white. Blushing and pallor re-
suit from the sudden action of the mind
ON the nervous system. So if the mind
be forewarned and prepared for emo
lions both habits can at least be partially
overcome. But when the nervous sys-
tenn is highly strung it would be life
long if not futile task to endeavor to eff
feet perfect cure. 1t is the sensitive.
nervous girl who bushes easily, while
the girl stolid by nature or who by edu-
cation has her nerves under perfect
control seldom bushes Philadelphia
