The hands of the clock pointed TO
three forty-hve and school would not
be dismissed until four. So the school
ma'sm, who was a strict moralist,
thought she would give the young
ideas short lecture on goodness and
morality. After explaining TO the lit
tie folks the various grades of punish
ment for infractions of the law,
she resolved to ask few questions to
ascertain IL her words had been COM
pretended.
Now, children" she said, 1--WE told
you what becomes of bad men, and
how good meu get bad by lettering
around saloons and associating with
bad men. Now, let me see how many
of you have profited by my remark.

your papas hope TO 60"
Nobody answered. II was plain the
schoolms'am was in too deep water for
the youngsters. She seemed to think
so, too, so she said:
"I'll make that little easier. Tell
me where your papas don't want to
go?" expecting such answers as pris-
on, penitentiary and jail.)
There was a painful wait, but finally
little fellow in one of the rear seats
slowly raised his hand.
"Ah, there's one boy that can answer
that question. Tell us, Tommy, where
your papa doesn't want to go?'
ITO church." replied Tommy. "He
says so every Sunday morning"
Whereupon the school was dismissed.

am not one of those people who
fancy it a dreadful thing for boys and
girls 10 be friends, says a wise woman.
Why should there be any question on
the matter? l am sorry when notice,
as / do once in while, tendency on
the part of the girl TO blush and sim
per and look conscious when boys are
around. This is very silly indeed, and
no sensible girl does it. Boys and girls
should be comrades, and should meet
and know each other in n simple, nat
ural manner, as brothers and sisters
do. Now that winter is here, with
its chances for outdoor sport
skating, sleighing, tobogganing, and
whatever else winter brings in its
train--the young people of neighbor-
hood ought TO have many delightful
outings in common. And IL, as is often
the case, the sons and daughters of
certain families are in school together,
side by side, in recitations. there is all
the more chance of their having fun
when school is over. Jack is apt to be
polite to Jill II she has helped him ont
in his arithmetic. DO you remember
Whittier's pretty stanzas about the
schoolhouse and the little scene he re-
calls?-

Paralyred Edith's Young Man and Made
Mamma wish She Were Dead.
There is one young matron living on
the Sonth side who failed 10 enjoy her
Thanksgiving turkey. though she add.
ed TO IL the cranberry of commerce and
the toothsome pumpkin pie and invited
her friends TO share IL with her. II
happens that she is the mother of n
small girl whose angelic appearance Is
constantly remarked, and who is in
variably borrowed by an artist friend
when he is commissioned TO paint a
cherub.
Handsome is however, as handsome
behaves itself and those who know
Miss Ethel best admire her least.
The guests had all assembled and
the hostess serene in the quality Of the
soup and Ethel's promise of good be-
havior was all smiles.
Ethel had wedged herself between
her young aunt and a potential adj
mirer on the sofa.
"well, Miss Ethel" said the uncon-
scious youth, smiling at her over his
chrysanthemum, ''are you glad TO see
me?"
80, yes, Mr.. De lay" was the smil-
ing reply, "rm glad mamma asked you;
she said she hated to do II, for you
we're so fussy that she would be in
agony lest anything would go wrong,
but she thought that maybe when you
saw how happy and comfortable she

Edith--why, Aunt Edith, what is the

In the awful pause which followed
dinner was announced. by the time
that dessert was brought on the hostess
was sufficiently composed to say TO her
right-hand neighbour.
"Only think, forgot that to-day was
legal holiday and all my best silver
is in the safety vault and couldn't
get IL out"
Then above the murmur of sym
pathy rose a sweet, childish voice, say
ing:
"But, mamma, don't you remember?
You said that after all it was a good
thing, for now you could borrow
grandma's service and those horrid Sill
vertons would think that II that was
only your second best the other must
be very handsome indeed"
And then with one accord the guests
began to speak concerning the wealth

A CICADA CITY.
Curisus Huts Built by the sevsnteen-Ycar
Locusts.

Curieus Huts Built by the Seventeen-Year
Locusts.
The temperance of the seventeen
year locusts, or cicadas, during the
past summer, was accompanied in some
localities by a very singular phenom-
enon. 1t is we'll known that these
wonderful insects, after lying for sew
enteen years in the earth, issue at the
end of that period, in the form of
pupn from long burrows in tie
ground. Ordinarily these burrows end
at the surface of the ground, and the
pupe, aft0r crawling out of them, un-
dergo their transformation into winged
insects. But occasionally the cicada,
before issuing from It's burrow, con-
structs an extension of it above the
surface Of the ground. like little hut,
and when its period of Transformation
is at hand tho insect breaks open the
top, or roof, OF its mud hat, and
emerges into the sunshine.
Heretofore but few specimens of
these huts have been described by nat
uBalists, but last spring great numbers
Of thsa apYsarsd ~ ssms places, and
As agslt8ss sts srBsa. f1H were they
eopstrustsd? Mr.. Benjamin Lander
discovered an immense city of such
huts on South Mountain, near Nyack-
on-the- Hudson, and he thinks he
knows why the insects built them.
These huts were from one to four
inches in height, and some Of the more
symmetrical of them, being composed
OF clay stained with red oxide of iron,
were beautiful objects They were
scattered by thousands over an area Of
about sixty acres, and in some spots
were crowded close together, ten or
even twenty appearing on a single
square foot of ground. The popula-
tion of this strange city was, of course,
enormous
As 70 the explanation of the building
OF the cicada city, according to Mr..
Lander il was due to the uncommon
heat which prevailed in the month OF
April. The heat penetrated the earth
and stirred the pppa, which lay there
awaiting their final change, 10 prema-
ture activity. They then ascended to
the surface Of the ground, and while
yet awaiting transformation, added
the huts as extensions 10 their burrows
for protection from the heat.
Other persons have thought that the
huts might be intended 10 protect the
burrows from the inflow of water, but
the city just described was situated on
high, dry ground In favor Of the ex.
plapation Of Mr.. Lander are the factC
that the soil where the huts existed
was thin, and much Of the ground had
been covered with woods and under
growth recently burned off. This
stripping of the soil Of its covering en-.
abled the heat Of the sun 10 penetrate
4 the more readily, and thus TO reach
