while Mr.. Glenn is in the mood of
publishing letters the people of the
State would be very much more in
terested if he will give them Presi-
dent Cleveland's free silver letter
which he read on his campaign in
1892 with Mary Ann Butler. Mr..
Cleveland pronounces this letter a
forgery, we are informed, and the
people now so believe it to have been.
The question yet to be settled is, who
forged it?

Insight into the strange condition of
the popular mind Of Russia at the close
of this nineteenth century is afforded
by the immense rcnOwn and influence
enjoyed at present by pcripatetie saint
who goes by the name Of Anthony the
Wanderer,n and who for more than
forty years has been perpetually on the
move, his peregrinatiOns extending all
over Siberia, Central Asia and European
Russia In the depth Of winter, just a.
in the height Of summer, he marches
barefoot and almost entirely devoid Of
clothing.
Fifty pounds weight Of iron chains
are welded about his shoulders and
body, while his waist j. encircled by an
iron belt weighing thirty pounds more,
closed with a lock, the key Of which
was east into the Arctic Ocean. Thus
equipped Anthony the Wanderer has
spent twO-seore years in tramping all
over the Russian Empire collecting
enormous sums Of money for the build

where they are needed, and without

THE SEvENTEEN-YEAR CICADAS
DUE THE PRESENT SUMMER.

The authorities Of the Agricultural
Department are anxiously awaiting the
full stress of the cieada or locust plague
breaking out all over the country The
destructive insects are already hum
ming dirge to the Southern farmers
plant trees, and before this month il
over, will have started their plumber in
the North and West. The present will
be an uncommonly severe locust year,
being the advent of both the seventeen
year, or Northern, and the thirteen
year, or Southern, broOds which ap-
peared last in 1877 and 1881 respective
~. The foods in the West and the
untimely cold weather in the East have
tended 10 defer the coming of their
buzzing armies, but i'm almost all of the
States they are beginningt to form their
lines for battle and the country people
apprehend the beginning Of the siege.
The year 1865, when two other great
brOods from the North and the South
came together, was said "a be the most
notable locust season since l647 and the
bug prophets have fixed the next equal
ly severe outbreak as late a. 3)s9, but
they agree that 1894 will not be far be-
hind in lis record of the mischief eX-
pected. All Of the places Overrun with
these two armies in 1877 and 1851 will
be alive with their songs in week OF
-, since all along the route of their last
invasion they planted their eggs in the
branches of the trees The govern
ment ~entomologist's reports of the
locust's depredatiOns during those
seasons are used as horoscopes in which

And blithe with youth the season;

Professor Howard, head Of the
chronological branch of the Agricul-
tural Department says:
'''Fhe cicada, commonly called the
locust, is the victim Of much false IT
port. In fact, the cieada appearing
this year j. no more locust than "A
bison is buffalo. There is a grsisshOp-
per in this country strangely similar 10
the locust of the East, and this is in
variably confused with cur American
broOds of cicada. These grasshOppers,
which may rightly be called lOcusts,
create great destruction, devOuring the
leaves of plants, while the eicada's only
mischief is done when they deposit
their eggs. The cicada * of periodical
growth, while the grasshOpper locusts
hatch out every spring, although, by
accident, they get together sometimes
in great armies and commit plumber,
especially in foreign countries" Many
people hearing of the coming invasion
will have i'm mind descriptions Of the
famous lOcusts Of the Orient, which
resemble the American grasshOpper or
the harvest-fiy- These insects are fOand
in Western Asia, Northern Africa and
Southern Europe. They strip all plants
of their green growth and travel in
such tremendous bands that they have
been known todarken the sky by their
clouds and to stop the flow Of rivers by
damming them up in their low flights.

continued 20 appear in it, allotted sea-
sons since long before Columbus ever
thought of the Western Continent.
There i no member of the lower ami
NAL kingdom more interesting to study
than these two species appearing this
year, after having lived underground
for the last thirteen or seventeen years
Between the two armies there Is no
specific difference displayed by the
individual insect. Both are divided
into two distinct races, one large and
the other small. The larger Of brOods,
which are exactly alike, measure one

inches over the full expanSe Of wings,

Clinger's hair, which was of jet black
color previous to this occurrence, turned
to silvery white within a short time
after. The serpent measured over eight
feet, being one OF the largest specimens

Danger From Catarrh.

The most important feature about that
very common complaint, catarrh in the
head, ib it's tendency to develop into
some other more serious and dangerous
disease. The foul matter dropping from
the head into the bronchial tubes or
lungs is very liable to lead to bronchitis
or consumption, that destroyer which
causes more deaths in this country than
any other disease. AS catarrh originates
in impurities in the blood, local appli.
cations can do but little good. The
common sense method of treatment is
to purify the blood, and for this pur.
pose there is no preparation superior to
Hoods Sarsaparilla. The powerful
action of this medicine upon the blood
expels every impurity. and by so doing
cures catarrh and gives health to the
entire organism.
