The icada.

The sevcnteen-year locusts are not
locusts, nor are they closely allied to
the family. They are cicadas, and un.
like the locusts they are not seriously
injurious to vegetation, nor are they
popular belief to the contrary not
withstanding-at all poisonous if
handled. Although so long in coming
to maturity, the time varying for
different varieties from one to seven
teen years, the active life of this cicada
is only about two months, and it us
ually terminates near the place of its
birth. The female lays her eggs under
the bark of branches, and about six
weeks aftefward the grubs fall to the
ground, in which they harrow at
depths varying from one to three feet.
Here they undergo six distinct
changes before after their long period
of alternating they again come to the
light.
When the locusts or cicadas appear
on the surface they are encased in n
hard shell like crab, and like a crab
this shell is cast by rent up the back
from which the creature emerges. AL
though the development has been 30
slow, there are no wings apparent
when the she'll is cast, yet SO rapid is
their growth that three hours after
ward the long gauze-like wings are
developed and the creature can fly.
The peculiar whirling noise that dis
tinguishes the cicada is made by the
male only, and is produced by rub
bing the serrated hind legs against the
resonant wings.

senator IIill's Story.

David -. Hill never allows himself
TO be caught with an interview when
1t doesn't exactly suit his convenience.
A newspaper correspondent who was
sent to interview him on the political
situation found himself bafrleG, for
the Senator kept him full half hour
without giving him word that he
could use. Finally the reporter, in
desperation, said he would like to ask
the Senator n single question.
"That reminds me of a story" said
Hill. "a genuine Yankee came to
New York state many years ago ped
ding tinwnre. He met man with
one leg and the stump of another.
The peddler's curiosity was aroused Mt
once. He determined to know how
that man lost his leg, and, after scrap
ing an acquaintance, and, pointing at
the remnant of limb:
Been in the WARP
"The one-logged man was sensitive
and reticent. His reply was simply !:
"'No.'
"The Yankee then began to talk
trade, but the lost leg was uppermost
in his mind. Presently he said:
'Mebbe you lost it in n saw mill?'
NO, again the answer.
"The peddler talked trade again, all
the time keeping his eye on the re-
mainder of another leg. At last he
said:
I'D just like to ask you one ques-
ton
Only one?' said the man with
the crutches.

A Tale of Two Capitals.

A friend Of mine, recently deceased. told
me, II my memory serves me correctly. thai
he had tho following facts from Baron Hauss.
mann himself Ordered by Napoleon III. 10
submit plans for the renovation Of Paris, the
Baron was for some time mt n loss 10 meet
the twofold requirements, as the content plat.
ed improvements for the new streets had &c

readily commanded by artillery. Suddenly
he bethought him Of modern Washington.
He secured plan OF that city, and this seem.
ed on examination so exactly TO meet the
necessities Of the case that he finally submit.
ted II to the Emperor.
The result was that the plan In the main
was accepted. and modern Paris was built
upon the lines Of modern Washington. Thus
Is explained certain similarity which strikes
every one who Is familiar with the two
capitals, although one might naturally sup
pose the American city. being the younger to
be the daughter instead OF the mother. But
General Washington more than half a cen.
tury earlier had ordered L'Rnfant 20 design
him plan for his seat OF government In
much the same manner as Napoleon Ill. had
commanded Baron Haussmann.
Now, l. Enfant was not only a Frenchman,
but n resident Of Versailles. and he undoubt.
edly derived his inspiration from his earlier
surroundings; consequently Washington was
an enlargement OF the Royal Park, with It's
alleys extended into avenues and its numer-
Gus flower-beds and parterres enlarged Into
circles and quadrants. Thus by trans.
oceanic leap Baron Haussmann took from
the New World what he could have secured
at his own gate. so much for a merely cur
ious artistic coincidence.
But In light Of recent development in our
capital, singular inquiry suggests itself
namely whether Gen. Washington, in laying
out the city, did not have In mind the same
two-fold object that Napoleon the Third had
when laying out Paris. To be sure, the pros.
ent industrial movement now bids fair TO end
In rldicule. But at some later date a more
desperate one may require to be controlled
by artillery, and then the broad avenues and
straight streets OF the capital may be appre-
ciated for other than mere aesthetic considera-
tions, and, on the contrary, serve AZ an ad-
ditional proof Of far-sightedness on the part
OF the Father OF his Country-North Ameri.

Bermnda's Brilliant COlorlng

The attention of the traveller is ut
first attracted by the colors OF the
waters as he approaches land, and in
the ilnumerable bays and inner
sounds. The blue reminds him of the
Mediterranean, when the Mediterra-
mean is Mt its best but among the
islands the blue changes to emerald as
vivid as the Pope's ring, TO Tyrian
purple and maroon in the shallow
buys, while If he looks across any wide
stretch of il there is an irridescent ap-
pearance, shimmering of shifting
colors like changeable silk, only the
colors seem more solid, and one
doubts whether they are sky rehec-
tions, and not solid coors of the bot
tom seen through the transparent
water. For the water at n great depth
is absolutely apparent. On the east
orn coast of Sicily, below Taormina,
are seen just such wonderful colors
along the shore, just such sparkling
blue in the sun. and there il is asso-
ciated with ages Of romance and ad-
venture, with suggestions Of treasure
wrecked along the coast in the gnllcys
of Phmnicia and Greek voyagers. II
is here difficult to believe that these
brilliant colors are not inherent in the
water, and the fancy is quickencd by
some of the fish that sport in these
halcyon seas. One of these is the
angol-iish, fiat anl oval in form, of a
cerulean blue, with two long steamers
edged with yellow, apparently one of
the happiest, as he is one of the most
graceful, of all marine inhabitants.
Another is the parrot-fish, larger an
imal, so called from mis- colors of green
and brown, who moves about vigor-
ously with his long fins, that initiate
in their motion the stroke and recover
of the Yale boat crew. His head is
brown, his back is vivid green in shin
ing scales, and his tail is brown again,
with shadings OF green. He knows
that he is one of the handsomest of
swimming things. -Harpers Maga-

A Persian Rug Diet.

After sleeping for two months with
Persian rug ten feet square in his
stomach, the big boa constructor in the
Adelaide (Australia) Geological gar
den, said to be the largest in captivity
has disgorged the remarkable meal and
appears none the worse for the expe-
riment. The rug does not appear to
have suffered either in texture or tone,
except that there were stains where
the gastric juices had striven to oper-
ate. 1t had, however, taken the form
of the reptile, being rounded to thin
long point aud twisted like wet blan-
ket hard wrung out. The snake cost
the garden $40, 900 and great anxiety
has been manifested for fear fatal re-
suits would follow the meal. SAP

The Danish Idea OF Order.

The Danish peasantry have nota-
BILE love of order and symmetry in
household arrangement, placing their
furniture wherever possible in pairs,
and in exactly corresponding positions.
The old peasant who had accumulated
little money, and had been prevailed
upon to buy his daughter piano, se-
riously considered buying another to
place against the opposite wall. Their
bedsteads consisted of great boxes,
generally painted red or green, and
heaped with feather beds, between
which they insinuate themselves win
ter and summer. If unable to afford
so many feathers, the under bed is Of
straw, and receives 50 little attention
that mice build their nests in it and
race back and forth, squealing shrilly
without disturbing the peasant slum-
bers. The bedding is not washed
oftener than once or twice q year.
