New Hampshire,s Grasshopper Bo,

New Hampshire's GrasshOpper Bounty
The state of New Hampshire pays
81 bushel to farmers for grasshop-
pers that they destroy. The insect
pests have been very troublesome
for the last twelve years. They
hatch out in the first part of June,
and the farmers have found that this
time is the best time for destroying
them by blowing them under. The
half-growing grasshoppers, that have
been Matched early, escape the pillow
by lively hopping, and to catch
these a machine has been invented
which consists of two shallow pans
of tin or galvanized iron eight feet
long and two feet wide, and having
back eighteen inches high. These
pans are supported two inches above
the surface of the ground, and are
fastened to pair of wheels. The
pans are filled with kerosene and
water, and are run over the ground
at rapid rate The half-grown
grasshoppers jump up in their terror
and alight in the kerosene. When
the pans are full the grasshoppers
are taken out to be measured for the
bounty, which in some cases amply
pays for the time and trouble ex
pended in catching the insects.

How Russia Regulates Bleyclists.

While Russia is behindhand in most
things pertaining to progress and en-
lightenment she is distinctly in ad-
vance of the remainder of the world as
far as the regulation of the bicycle
traffic is concerned. Before anyone is
permitted to ride in any public thor
oughfare he is compelled to obtain a
license at cost of ST. and to have his
name and address entered upon the
police registers of his district, in token
of which he is presented with square
piece of leather with his mum Der in
large figures of bright metal. This he
must have permanently affixed to the
back of his cycle, so that it may be
seen by the police. But prior to receiv-
ing the license the knight of the wheel
is forced to undergo an examination
as to whether he can ride sufficiently
well to avoid becoming a public dam
ger. This examination consists in the
description of the figure set around
two sticks. and he is obliged to do this
to the satisfaction of the official ex-
aminers, one of whom is usually the
president of the local bicycle club.

The Passing of Red Brick.

In no department of the human in.
dustry has there been greater evolu-
ton of late years than in the business
of making bricks. Formerly we had
nothing but old-fashioned red brick
that reached it's climax of perfection at
Philadelphia and was shipped thence
at great expense all over the country
where high grade article was in de-
mand. But the red brick has had its
day for archi tectural use, and in it's
place has come to stay the brick of
lighter hue-pink, buff, yellow and, in
fact, of nearly every shade. A brick
can be made that is as notified as a
seagull's egg or one that will show the
varying tints of an autumn leaf. 1t
is done by adding certain metallic
ingredients to the clay after the
latter has been ground into the finest
powder. It is the iron in the clay that
gives the ordinary clay it's deep red.
In future most of our city residences
are going to be constructed from brick
of these pleasing colors. They give re-
lief to the eye and variety. What can
be more monstrous than row of red
brick houses? Washington is taking
to the new style. and in this clear
atmosphere, unspoiled by the SCOT
from soft coal combustion, a house of
this beautiful material will stand fresh
for a century and be solid for years
after one built of granite had disin-
tegrated.

PRETTY GIRLS IN BETHLEHEM

More Beauties In the HII2s OF Judea
Than Anywhere Else.
A correspondent has been stdoing"
the Holy land, and is filed with admi
ration for the damsels of Bethlehem.
In recent letter hS writes: ST
don't wonder that Boaz fell in love
with Ruth. The Bethlehem girls are
among the beauties of the East, and
you will find more pretty girls in the
hills of Judea than in the same
amount of territory anywhere else
the world over. A ship1oad of these
Bethlehem maidens, if they could be
transported to the great Northwest,
would capture the bonanza farmers of
the Dakotas just as Ruth captured this
great land owner. Boaz, and when
they came back to Washington %
senator's wives they would be the
bells of the capital. These Bethlehem
maidens are fair-skinned and bright
eyed. They have straight, we'll
rounded forms, which they ciothe in
long dresses of white linen, so beau.
tifully embroidered in silk that a
single gown requires many months OF
work. This dress is much like an

the front in narrow slit as far down
as Q modest decollette dress. Over
this gown they wear sleeveless cloaks
of dark red stripes, and the head they
cover with long shawl of linen en-
b@oidered with silk. Each girl wears
her dover on her person in the shape
of necklace of coins, and the fore
head of each maiden is decorated with
crown of coins, some of which are
silver and others gold.

a vase Deal IN planonds.

Less than three months ago the en-
tire stock of the company controlling
the output of the world was sold to a
London syndicate for Sc, 900 the
price per carat being in advance of
that paid at large sale just previous
to that time. The stock of the COM
pany then advanced several per cent,
and the advance is still maintained.
1t is also untrue that shrewd buyers
can now obtain small stones at bar
gain in the European markets. The
market was stripped of well-cut stones
by American buyers last year, and the
tendency of prices is now upward, the
fine goods being bought up by Eu-
ropeans as rapidly as the cutters can
turn them out. There is no immedi-
ate prospect of a decline from present
prices Joseph Barmato represe nted
the London syndicate that purchased
this big stock of diamonds, and deal
ers say that they do not anticipate any
depreciation in the market.

sad and romantic history. NearIv
half 8 century ago she fell in love
with handsome young man and had
made arrangements to be married.
He was ambitious to make his mark in
life, and il possible, secure for
tune. She refused to accompa-
ny him 20 the West and en-
deavored TO dissuade him FROM
going. He had made up his mind to
go, however, and urged her in every
way possible to be married, but she
firmly refused, and said that unless
he surrendered his intention of leav-
ing Salem she would never GO out
doors again. Her lover went West,
made q fortune, married buxom
maiden and is now the father of an
interesting family.
For more than forty years Elizabeth
was loyal to her rash VOW and never
left the house but once, and that was
some years ago, when the old home
stead was on fire, and she was taken
by main force from her room by the
freznen. During the first years of her
voluntary confinement her family and
friends endeavored to make her
change her mind, but all efforts and
influences were futile. So far as the
public can learn she never spoke to
anyone about her lover, yet it is ap
parent by her demeanor for more thar
four decades that she never forgot
him.
