THE CHEERFUL CRICKET.
He Is Satisfied with a Orumb, Pro.
wided He Can Always. Get PIen-
ty OF Water TO Drink.

Somebody started the legend that
when the cricket sings on the hearth
there win be plenty Of food in the
cupboard and good luck viii attend
the family. However that may be, the
house crieket-the kind that loves to
begin tuning up his fairy fiddle at
about the time you are trying to go
to sleeps never a grumbler against
evil fortune. He seems ever to be
cheerful and lively. His eyes are al
ways bright, and he is satisfied with a
Crumb, provided he can get plenty
Of water to drink. You may be sure
that the cricket which seems eve to'
leave the corner or the nook where.
you hear him sing daily wanders
abroad at night in search OF something
to drink, Often he is a regular topper,
and house criekets often lose their
lives through leaping into a pan Of wa
ter, or milk, or soup, or strip in their
greediness for something to drink.
Sometimes the house cricket gets rest
less and instead Of hopping around
like a level-headed insect and being
contented he spreads his stubby wings
and flies out Of the window and into
the great world Of summer night. He
doesn't whirr along like a beetle, or
futter like a butterfly, but he flies
much after the name of a goldfnch
opening and shutting his wings
l~eisurely and constantly rising and
falling as he flies. The cricket's CHEEKY
rasping is a call for Mistress Cricket
to come home. Mistress Cricket, I'M
like the ladies of the human species,
is no talker. I have often watched a
shining male cricket in a corner call
ing. He would Lift his wings and rasp
them till they made the peculiar shriI
little chirrup; then he would move his
long f~celers, or antennae, about, and
his shell-like eyes would seem to
brighten. Pretty soon, after the call
ing would have been going on for some
time, a plump i%ght-brown lady crick-
ct would come Siding up, and then
the two would rub their antennae TO-
gether ever so softly, evidently whis-
pering family secrets to each other.
If you have a cricket by your
hearth or under the bookcase, give him
a erumb or two once in awhile and
you win make him your friend for

MS MISTAKE
An American Girl Gives an English,
man a Little Light on
Ladies.

A Louisville girl, who was recently in
Germany, met a young English officer who
was in the same city, and, in fact, in the
anne house with her for two months, study
ing German for his promotion. Like most
Europeans he had the usual absurd ideaa
about the girls Of this country, who, inthe
minds of the untraveled foreigner, are rather
hoydeA c 5s who smoke and have other
masculine traits.
After dinner n day, in the early &C
quaintanca Of the couple, the officer offered
the Louisville giTla cigarette, and, upon her
refusing it, he said:
why, | thought all the girls in the
United States smoked.
''So We do replied the girl, but never
cigarettes; only pipes. If you will get that
pipe of the mantelpiece in the next room /
shall be charmed to smoke with you
Not suspecting the joke she was playing
OF him, the officer brought the pipe and
filed it, and it wal not until he saw the wry
faces his friend made in attempting to carry
out the joke that he appreciated the situa-
tion. He was continually telling the Ameri-
can ia a tone Of surprise that she was just
like the girls at home in England, and her
reioinder was:
Lieutenant, don't you think a lady is a
lady the world over?"-Louisville Courier
Journal.

something. The pens Of Christians.

upon the paper. Every moment ot
time it is being written all over the
world and every mark establishes a
fact-a great fact that 1890 years ago
there was a birth-a notable birth,
and old Father Time suddenly stopped
the old calendar and began a new
count and called it Ammo Domini.
What a wonderful event it must have
been that closed the record of the
ages and started time on a new cycle.
How in the world did it happen2 The
Greeks had their calendar and the
Romans had theirs and the Jews had
enc that was handed down by Moses.
The Greek had the olympiads and the
Romans the birth of their ancient city,
and the Mohammedans the flight Of
Mahomet, but all were overshadowed
and still are by the n set up by a
handful of friendless Christians. What
a wonderful thing is this date, these
four simple figures. We write these
everyday and read them everywhere.

An ingenious gentleman has devised
an instrument which he thinks will
be Of great assistance to white soldiers
in their combats with native tribes.
1T is a big wooden tube, with a piece
of perforated raw hide stretched over
the opening; when blown it makes a
noise which can be compared with
nothing On earth, and is calculated to
