AN OLD LADYS PROPHECY.
The Seventeen Year Locusts and Boy Babies
Sure Sign of War.

The Seventeen Year Locusts and Boy Babies
Sure Sign of War.
met an interesting old lady in one
of the Hudson river cities recently. She
was in her ninety third year and was
much interested in a telegram which re-
ported that farmers in the vicinity of
Nyack were plowing up thousands of
II year locusts in the grub form, the
first appearance of these insects, it was
stated, since 1877. Giving her specta-
cles little nudge, the old lady looked
up from her paper and exclaimed:
"Here! That means war! In 1860 flocks
of these locusts-great big, clumsy things
were found all over the country, and
on the wing of every one of them could
be plainly seen the letter w. The great
war of the rebellion followed | tell
you We'll have war either here or in
Europe if those critters come around
again.
Another sure sign," she added, sis
the fact that all the babies this year are
boys l read in an old history when 1
was little girl that in the days of
Rome's supremacy the approach of war
was always plainly indicated by the
great birth rate of male children. Look
out for stormy times" said the old
lady, as she gave her spectacles another
nudge.-New York Mail and Express.

White Hosiery and Glory.

"We will win this year sure," said
Cappun Anson, with the firmness born
of confidence 1--WE will return to white
hosiery"
In the old days, when the Chicago
baseball club used to float pennant
every season, Mr.. Anson's players were
colloquially known as ''the White Stock
ings." For years the glimpse of nine
pairs of stout legs incased in white
struck terror to the souls of opposing
teams The white sock was the @gis of
victory upon the field.
This is why Capitaine Bebe Anson
determined to revert to white hose His
logic is unmistakable. He and his team
once wore white hose; result, victory.
Then they wore another color Of hose;
result, defeat Now Is stocky calves are
in white again. Who can doubt the con-
equences?-Chicago Record

A MODERN WITCH.

She Plays Upon q Sentimental Woman's
Heartstrings to the Tune of 1000 Francs.
A very curious case of witchcraft,
which carries us back to the middle ages,
has just been examined by the correc-
tional appeal court. A middle aged la
dy, AZ years of age, living at Fontaine
bleau-Mlle. Bauchet-wished to know
whether her lover, a handsome soldier,
would ever return, so she went to con-
suit Nine. Bretheaux That reputed
witch Immediately announced to her
client that she had been placed under
spell, and that it was urgent to remove
it. To accomplish this Ga francs so GEN.
times, sheet and a chemise were nec-
essary. The money and the articles were
brought the next day by Mile. Bauchet
Nine days later Nine. Bretheaux said
that she had removed the spell which
had been thrown ON Mile. Bauchet, but
she had discovered that the witches of
the country in which her lover was liv-
ing had thrown spell on him. The
witch" declared she would succeed in
saving him, but to do so she wanted 191
francs and dozen linen pocket hand
kerchiefs.
A few days later the ingenious cheat
succeeded in getting her victim to give
her an additional sum of 500 francs on
the pretext that she had been obliged to
burn gold crucifix at the shrine of the
Virgin, and that she must go on with
her incantations if the soldiers life was
to be saved 1t was not till some time
after this-after Nine. Bretheaux had
swindled her of 975 francs 80 centimes,
to say nothing of the sheet, handker-
chiefs, etc.-that the confding victim
related her adventure to less credulous
friend and at length discovered she had
been swindled The case was tried at
Fontainebleau, where Nine. Bretheaux
was condemned to three months impris-
onment. The appeal court confirmed the
sentence. Paris Correspondent

A New Blind Worm.

Among the other interesting addresses
which were made at the meeting OF the
Academy of Natural Sciences the other
evening was one by Professor Edward
d. Cope on a peculiar species of blind
worm, new variety discovered in the
south. 1t is curious subterranean little
thing with almost invisible eyes, and it
is found in the nests of ants and ter
mites, ON which it feeds. The scientific
name for the family is chirotidae, and
Professor Cope has named the new vari-
ETY. Euchirotes biporus, as two pores near
the tail distinguish it from other spe-
cies, as does also the fact that it has an
terror but no posterior legs.
Professor Cope also talked about the
lungs of snakes Of different species,
some having two lungs, some only one,
and others, especially the venomous
kinds, showing scarcely any signs of
lungs at all lL-Philadelphi Press.

Carnot and the French Presidency.

The French presidential canvass is de-
veloping into an active campaign. Car
not's hint of withdrawal is not accepted
yet as final, and strong pressure is be-
ing brought to bear to induce him to
stand. His poor health is not the only
reason of his desire to retire. He is SEN
sible enough to realize that the difficult
ties of forming ministries will be greatly
increased during the second septennate.
Disappointed candidates will not be so
easily disposed of as seven years ago. A
presidential crisis would be always
looming in the distance. Nine. Carnot
is in feeble health and breads the re-
newal of her onerous social duties more
than her husband, and her wishes have
great weight with him. Letter.

Illuminated Feasts.

What electricity is doing and will do
for table decoration is foreshadowed in
an account Of a recent feast, where a
dish of jelly was illuminated by an cleo
trio light shining through the mass. The
effect of this dish, set in flowers and
protected by silver cover till the mo-
ment of exposure, is very striking and
original. The use of minute electric bat
teries is making most startling effects
possible. Jewels, flowers and food can
be lighted up in remarkable and very
effective ways. Even the illumination
of goldfish was possible to the wizard
Edison, who set them in little table
pond as an ornament, and having got
them to swallow tiny electric lamps
connected with dynamo by an almost
invisible wire passing from the mouths
they flashed about brilliant and resplend-
ent.-New York Times.

A Countryman's Suggestion.

A countryman who boarded the fire.
boat New Yorker at her berth at the
Battery the other day was interested to
observe the completeness of her equip
ment for fighting fire along the river
front. Her powerful pumps and ingen-
ious arrangements for directing the
streams upon burning buildings or into
the holds of vessels filled him with ad-
miration. Then he asked the engineer to
show him the workings of the search
light. He took it for granted that there
was one and was amazed to learn that
there was no electrical plant at all on
the boat. This would appear to be Gu
rious deficiency in boat otherwise per-
fectly appointed, and it is difficult to
see how so obvious a need could have
been overlooked in the building of the
New Yorker. The countryman' S discov-
cry has led to a discussion Of the need
of a searchli ght and may lead to its in
PRODUCTION on the boat. 1t is admitted
that such light would be of the great
est value to the New Yorker in finding
its way at night about among the
crowded and tangled slips. 1t would,
moreover, make it possible to direct a
powerful light upon the fronts of ware
houses, to the very great assistance Of the
firemen. Electric lights ON the boat
would also be supplied in place of the
old fashioned oil lamps that are now in
se.-New York Sun.

The matter of vaccination was dis
cussed at some length at the last meeting
of the Johnston Town Council. The law
requires that scholars in the public
schools shall be vaccinated, but the law
has not been complied with according TO
Superintendent Wright for the past two
years. The matter has been before the
council on previous occasion and Health
Officer Waters was instructed to secure
the services of some physician residing in
the town TO do the work at twenty cents
per head, or rather arm. The Health
Officer was unable to find any Johnston
physician who would undertake the job
for the rate offered. The matter was
continued until the next meeting. Now
it seems little strange, to say the. least,
that the council should have given John
ston physicians an opportunity to do the
work at any price. 1t would be follow
ing their usual mode of procedure to have
employed Providence doctors to have
done the work. A Providence news
paper does the town advertising and why
not go to the city for everything. This
example will have the effect of causing
Johnston people to 60 to the city to trade,
even if they can do equally well in Olney-
vile. This is decidedly The most metro
politan council Johnston ever had and if
II can throw anything cityward it will
doubtless do it.

A New Style of Hitching Post.

Dwight Platt of Milford, Conn, hitch
ed his OK team, loaded with lumber, to
some freight cars standing on side
track near the Milford railway station
one day last week and went into neigh
boring hostelry to recuperate. A freight
frain came along about tht time, and
coupling on the cars without noticing
the team started up. The oxen never
went so fast in their lives as they did
during the next few seconds, and their
path was strewn with lumber for sone
distance. The team was discovered by a
brakeman before the oxen were injured,
however, and Mr.. Platt now uses ordi-
nary hitching posts. Hartford Courant

THERE WAS NO STRING TO II.
But He Had AbunGant Reason Neyerthe-
less to Be Suspicious.

There was bright new 80 cent piece
lying ON the pavement ON Jefferson av-
enue, near GriswoId street, when a
bow backed man with satchel came
along from the depot. He saw the coin
while he was yet 20 feet away, and he
made sudden forward rush to get it.
The movement was almost instantly
checked, however, and he walked slow
ly forward and backed TO the curbstone
and stood there and gazed at the coin
with a foxy look on his countenance. In
about minute a pedestrian came up,
saw the coin and reached for it and put
it in his pocket. Observing the attitude
Of the old man at the same time he
turned and queried:
''It didn't belong to you, did it?''

A SMOO7A ENGLISHMAN.

4 Specimen of the Scamps Who Slip Into
American Society to Its Detriment.
A young Englishman, "of good fam
ily," of course-all Englishman are
has been detected in stealing right and
left from prominent New York families
who had received him on terms of in
timacy. The funny part of the business
is that the young Englishman was self
confessSS thief in his own country, had
received letters of introduction to New
York people and been shipped over here
in order>that he Nigh. make living.
His name is withheld OFT of considera-
tion for the families W. whom he has
associated here and whom he has rob-
bed Having been exposed, he has re-
tired with a choice collection of scarf
pins, silverware and a substantial wad
of greenbacl1s, which will keep him un-
til he finds another opportunity to re-
plenish his stock.

his names Cremorne. Seems jolly fell
low"
He's nice looking. You may bring
him to my box if you choose"
So Cremorne, the scamp, is duly
passed ON from one family to another,
no one knowing a thing about him, or
caring, for that matter, SO long as he is
presentable and a novelty. He may have
got his first introductions through acci-
dent, mistake or chance acquaintance
ON shipboard. 1t matters not. He is
soon in the swim, and being an iron pot
is very apt to get the best of the earth
enware families who have taken him
up. In this recent incident the people
who petted the pilferer are to be con-
graduated that he didn't get away with
a daughter or two as well as with their
money and bric-a-brac. c.-Chollie Knick-
