FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
VI Musicai Insects.

Singing birds are esteemed in all
countries, but in Japan the musical
sounds emitted by certain insects are
appreciated. Listening TO these minute
singers has been for many centuries
favorite pastime of the japanese and
has given birth to an original COM
merce.
At Tokyo, toward the end of May and
the beginning Of June, one sees sus-
pended under the verandas of houses
little cages of bamboo from which break
upon the silence of the fresh twilight
strange little whistlings of metallic
modulations and light trills which fill
the air with a delicate music. 1t is
habitually in the evening, after tho
hour Of the bath, that the people, of
Tokyo seat themselves and listen to the
shrill concert. The most priced Of
these singing insects IS the suzumushi.
Its name means insect bell" and the
sound which it emits resembles that Of
tiny silver bell. 1t Is q tiny black
beetle with a fiat body. The kutsu-
wamushi is so named because its cry
resembles the sound made by a horse
In champing his bit. There are two
species Of It, one a light yellow and
the other a pale green. Really, this in
sect is a kind of winged grasshopper
of fat body and common in many
countries.-London Globe.

Some Beautiful Desserts.

1t Is well to go to the caterer for the
fancy cream to close an elaborate din
ner. There are beautiful shapes to be
had in single forms or IN large piece.
For a white dinner there are large
lilies nodded with pistache leaves and
stem, or for a pink dinner there are
pink roses, also with foliage. An ice
cream basket filled with nodded fruits
Of various kinds-apples, pears and
peaches-is always attractive, especial
ly If 1t is passed on a tray covered with
sprays Of fern.
A large basket made of strips of
sponge cake woven like a peach basket
and lying on its side, with a quantity
Of ice cream peaches falling from it, is
also pretty, and there are of course any
number of other forms. The cakes
served with the cream should be the
small ones iced in colors purchased at
the caterers or a good bakery, says
Harper's Bazar.
Fruit Is not necessary at a dinner,
but If it IS served it should be the
choicest to be had, and not a great
quantity should be passed. Coffee
should be offered In the drawing room
to the ladies and to the men wherever
they smoke their after dinner cigars.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
How to Ventilate IA ROOm-By n WO-
man For Women-Some Beau
tifuI Desserts

But in spite of this constant changing
by natural renewal from outside it is a
good idea to give quick and complete
change once a day to the air of living
rooms, smoking rooms, bedrooms and
dining rooms. This is best effected
by opening windows that will make
direct draft, keeping in mind that n
few minutes only are required to ac-
complish the purpose. Make this
change of air when a room Is to be va
cant for, say, 10 minutes, which will
give time for somewhat heating the
cold air taken in. For the sickroom a
fireplace is the safest ventilator, lack
ing which adrOit management or de-
vices too elaborate to be here detailed
will secure a proper atmosphere. In a
large house with few occupants this
clean sweeping out of stale air need be
resorted to but rarely, as sweeping
days, the natural renewal from the
cracks and crevices, with the opening
Of doors from gOings and comings, are
sufficient-Ella Morris Kretschmar in

What Millions Mean,

With regard to the electrical wave

16 before an appreciable signal could
be transmitted to Mars" This 16 mil
lionfold increase of intensity demanded
on the part of wireless telegraphic
powers would appear to put out of
court altogether all ideas of interplan-
etary communication of the kind in
question. Sir Robert, however, teach
es us another little lesson much needed
all round respecting the impossibility
of our conceptions being able adequate
ly to deal with big numbers. He re-
minds us that there are not 10000, 900
inches comprised in the distance. be-
tween Lancaster and London. Again,
the age of a man 100000 minutes
old amount to over thirty years, while
100000 millions of wheat grains
would weigh a ton.-London Chronicle.

Furniture Polish.

A good polish for brass, nickel plate
and pewter can be procured Of a drug
gist under the name of tripoli. 1t is an
exceedingly fine powder made from
small shells and is sold for few cents
per pound. Moistened with sweet oil
1t Is used like whiting upon silver.
With these two simple materials, whit
ing and tripoli, on hand the house
keeper will have no necessity for spe-
cial preparations. Tripoli is the best
cleansing material for brass bedsteads,
andirons and fireplace fittings as well
as for exposed plumbing and for
bronzes. To polish fine carved wood
and cabinet work mix one-half pint lin
seed oil, half pint of ale and the beat
en- white of an egg with one ounce of
alcohol and the same quantity of am
monia. Shake well, apply little at
time with a soft piece of old linen and
then polish with old silk. If well
corked, the mixture can be kept an in

A hearty appetite does not always in
dicate a healthy condition. 1t is not the
quantity of food which is eaten but the
quantity which is assimilated, which
determines the actual value of the food
consumed. If the stomach and organs
of digestion and nutrition cannot con-
vert the food into nourishment, and in
to the blood then the food is an injury
instead of a benefit. For all disorders
of the stomach and its allied organs
of digestion and nutrition, there is a
certain remedy in DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t removes clogg-
ing Obstrutions. 1t strengthens the
stomach, nourishes the nerves, enriches

Wallace Circus,

The members of the famous Stirk
family, a great feature of the Wallace
circus this year, are doing work that
borders on the marvellous. In truth.
some of their attainments are of such
complex difficulties that it frequently
passes with but little more notice from
the public than their simpler displays.
1t not infrequently happens that when
a particularly hazardous feat is accom-
plished the strongest and most pro-
nounced applause will come from the
entry wherein the other actors of the
show may invariably be found ranged as
spectators when 'the Stirks are on.
When an act can hold the attention
of actors as that of the Stirks does, it
may indeed be said to be truly great.
Will be at Bloomsbury Tuesday, May
