THE MUSICAL INSECT or JAPAN.

| THE MUSICAL. INSECT OF JAPAN.
| Singing birds are esteemed in al
countries, but in Japan the musical
sounds emitted by certain insects are
appreciated. Listening to these mi
mute singers has been for many centu-
ries favolite pastine Of the japanese,
and has given birth to an original COM
merce. AT Toxic toward the ends of
May and the beginning of June, one
sees suspended under the verandas Of
houses little cages OF bamboo from
which breaks upon the silence of the
fresh twilight strange little Whistlin8s
of metallic modulations and light thrills
which fill the air with a delicate music.
1t is habitually in the evening, after
the hour of the bath, that the people of
Toxic seat themselves and listen to the
shrill concert. The most priced of these
singing insects is the suzumushi. It's
name means "insect bell" and the
sound which it emits resembles that of
a tiny silver bell. 1t is tiny black
beetle with a fiat body. The kutsuWam-
ushi is so named because its cry re-
sembles the sound made by a horse in
champing its bit. There are two spec
~ "a ~ liz JIG q liohI SSiiOW GNU IliC
other a pale green. Really, this insect
is kind of winged grasshopper, of fat
body and common in many countries.
Another singing insect much es-
teemed is the kirigirisu, which is also
a very large grasshopper, producing
varied, strident sounds. Then there is
the enamkoroki, a minute grasshopper,
which has a sound of remarkable clear
ness; the kantan originally from China,
which sings only at midnight; the
kanetataki. whose song resembles the
far-aWay sound of a clock. In Toxic
alone there are over forty merchants
dealing in singing insects. This COM
merce is of relatively recent origin,
though for centuries the Japanese have
been fond of the music of these insects.
Formerly they would go in parties to
places where the little musicians
abounded, pass the night there extend
ed upon mats, drinking tea or saki and
listening to the harmony of the suzu-
mushi and kutsuwamushi.
1t was only about 100 years ago that
an amateur named Chose had the idea

of capturing one Of these insects for his
own particular diversion. Then, the
singing season over, he forgot a certain
number in closed vases. Great was his
surprise, on opening it the following
yearto find it filed with newly matched
young After that he gave himself up
to the raising of various species of
singing insects, and so founded trade
which has f1ourished. Actually, the
greater number of singing insects are
artificially raised, so that their hatch
ing corresponds to the season when
their admirers love to listen to them
and to combine their sounds ,-London

Qualification of Voters.

It is not surprising that people
should be unable to grasp the
meaning Of the new registration
law; it is so cumbersome and
complex that it requires a knowl-
edge Of law to understand it;
even good lawyers disagree as to its
proper meaning. The worst fea-
ture of the law is the clauses
as to the qualification of voters
and how to qualify themselves.
OF course a careful reading of
the law will dispel some of the
uncertainties as to its meaning.
The pell tax section is generally
misunderstood, but it is construed
to apply only to the fall elections,
or the Presidential election !;
there is not much dispute about
this feature; the poll tax section
does not apply to veters in the
election to be held in April.
Under Section Five all who
listed before September, l, 1898,
will be entitled to register now,
and for all elections hereafter.
This class of voters need not
possess the educational or prep
erty qualification in order to vote !;
they constitute 8 privileged class
and can vote simply because they
were fortunate enough to have
possessed a father and grand
father.
The educational qualification is
rot hard to possess, but if you
were unfortunate in yeur youth
in not having the benefit Of
schools, you will not be permitted
+ to register and vote in the event
that you had not the industry and
| frugality to accumulate property
assessed at $500. This is a very
good law, as some good and
| worthy citizens pay taxes and cen
tribute to the schools and good

ADELgIA,

&
Adella, my dear little frierd,
promised these few lines, sweet;
To the COURIER to-day I will send
Your pretty brown eyes they'll greet.
You told me you loved me
Those words echo in my heart,
And your friend I'll always be-
Even your troubles I'll take part.
A few weeks since we have met
Only short while before we part:
1t seems impossible, and yet
They say you soon must start
They have dear missed you so much
The Donaldsonville home you've bright
ened.
Thus by your hand-a simple touch
Many heavy hearts you've lightened.
When you leave, will think of you
AS of little precious sunbeam
Across my pathway, God threw
To make life sweet golden dream.
Your dark eyes are so bright
Wl,en excitement holds them last
Within them beam radiant light
AS upon your friends tLey are c1st.
This long pleasant stay in Opelousas-
Your joyous laughter all hearts does in
wade.
It would be impossible, almost useless
To try to count the friends you've made
A kind thought, sweet gentle word
Upon the heart care often falls.
In after years the echo is heard;
Thus many happy hours memory recalls
20! if he calls me-" our little song.
When all your girl friends met
What a gay, glad joyous throng-
The remembrance fingers yet.
Before the parting words are spoken
Before we separate for many years,
Vowing our friendship will be unbroken,
Causing us to check the rising tears.
Sincerely,
LILLIAN HARDEY.

A Good Plan.

In a recent speech Mr.. w. j.
Bryan offers the best plan that
has thus far been presented for
the solution of the trust problem,
and his proposition is receiving
the endorsement ef prominent
republicans as we'll as Democrats.
Mr.. Bryan shows that it will
not be wise to depend entirely on
State legislation. If one State
enacts antitrust legislation, and
the trust allowed to operate in
other States, a grinding corper-
ton that controls the entire
output of certain article Of ne
cessity can inflict great damage
to the interests of any State that
openly declares its autagonlsm.
Mr.. Bryan suggests that the
evil can be corrected by federal
license. Every trust will be de-
MED license to do business in
the United States. Any corpo-
ration that does business in le-
gitimate way can obtain license.
Each State, however, will retain
its right to protect itself from
any corporation, Notwithstanding
the federal license.
This plan in our opinion would
destroy the trust evil. 1t cannet
be declared unconstitutional, for
a similar policy has been pursued
by this government in the Inter
nal Revenue Department for
many years without either i'm
periling either States or Fede-
raj rights.
A strong antitrust wave is
sweeping over this country, and
the opponents of trusts would do
we'll to contrast Mr.. Bryan's man
lily, statesmanlike speech with the
babyish utterances of Mr.. McKin.
ley, who, while acknowledging
the trust evil, is too weak ane
too incompetent to break away
from the donineering influences
that surround him, and offer any
suggestion that could aid the
American people in the task they
have before them.
