Iocusts Have Come.
Scientists Regard Brood AS Harmless

"Seventcen-year locusts' have ap-
peared in the Smithsonian grounds and
already cover the lower branches of
two large trees. Altoona, Pa, and
Nashville, Tenn, have reported to the
Agricultural Department that they
have also found locusts on park trees.
These three localities stand alone as
communities which have devel 'ped
this pest at this season, but the scien-
fists of the Agricultural Department
anticipate that within a few weeks
locusts will have appeared also in
Pennsy lvania, New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Ten
nessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Hi
nois, Michigan, Wisconsin, the District
of Columbia and possibly in other
localities.
The two trees in the mall on which
the locusts have already hatched are
situated within a few yards of the en-
trance to the two Smithsonian build
ings. Near the monument to Prof.
Henry, about fifty yards west of the
north door of the Smithsonian building,
the ground is perforated with small
round aperturcs, from onc-fourth to
one half an inch in diamet r. These
indicate the number of locusts which
have already emerged and have found
lodgings on the branches OF the huge
tree near by. There are signs of them
here and there in the form of the char
acteristic brown shells which the new
locust leaves behind him, but the pres
ence of the locust can hardly be de-
tected.
MANY IN PLAIN SIGHT.
On the other tree, however, the pest
is plainly in evidence. This is about
$50 yards northeast OF tn" main en-
trance to the National Museum, at
point close to the edge Of the asphalt
walk and very near the intersection of
the main drive with gravel roadway
which runs from the 9th street entrance
to the mall to the Medical Museum
Here the grass and gravel are broken
everywhere by the little round "eXit"
holes Of the insects, and the leaves of
the largest tree in that locality ale
spotted closely with brown shells. If
there is anywhere any doubt Of the
existence of this pest single glance
at this tree will dispel it.
Scientists at work in the institutions
nearest these trees, the Smithsonian;
the National Museum and the Agri-
cultural Department, explain the early
arrival of these locusts as due to par
ticular local conditions. such as the
added moisture drained into the ground
from the asphalt walks near by and
the heat reflected from both walks and
buildings. A heavy shower and sew
eral bright, warm days are expected
to do as much for the other portions
! of the park, and reports have already
reached the city that various localities
in the adjoining counties of Maryland
have discovered locusts fully as far
developed.
In order to keep account of the pest
the Agricultural Department has sent
out over 5000 addressed postal cards

Away out in the country

For the powers that seem precious

Everywhere man may lcOk
To rush in and get his earnings
All away by hook or crook.

Where the woods are full Of JOY,
And the hens are ca' k ing loudly
At the sunhurned farmer boy,
There is never al y crowding,
There is room out there to spare,
And the p, op!e aren't breathing
Flying rubbish with their air.
Away out in the country

Away out in the country
Where the waters cool ard sweet,

And distracts the city poet
When he seeks to court the muse.

ONCE IS ENOUGH TO SEE

Gustave Dore's portrait of Dante IS worth
seeing-once. But once IS enough. Some
such look you notice on the faces of those
who have suffered, and still suffer, much
physical pain; people subject torheumatism,
gout, neuralgia, periodic headache, lumba-
90, or pain from some old lesion. This pain
habit puts its marks on them, as the custom
of handling ropes crooks q sailors fingers;
or as too much riding Of q bicycle stamps

KEEP THE BALANCE UP.

1t has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of the even balance of
health causes serious trouble. No
body can be too careful to keep this
balance UP. When people begin to
lose appetite, or to get tired easily, the
least imprudencc brings on sickness,
weakness, or debility. The system
needs tonic, Graves it, and should not
be denied it; and the best tonic of
which we have any knowledge is
Hoods Sarsaparilla. What this medi-
cine has done in keeping healthy peo-
pie healthy, in keeping up the even
balance of health, gives it the same
distinction as preventive that it en-
joys as cure. Its early use has illus
trated the wisdom of the old saying
that stitch in time saves nine Take
Hoods for appetite, strength, and eE-
durance.

"THE SUN DO MOVE"

One Sunday, about fifteen or twenty
years ago, after 4 long series of his
typical sermons, John Jasper arose in
his pulpit, looked Significantly about
him, and took his text from the book
of Exodus, Chapter XIV, verse 5, ''The
Lord is man of war; the Lord is his
name"
Beginning with Genesis and going
through to Revelations he collected to-
gether all the verses that seemed to
teach that the sun moved and that the
earth was not a ball. He felt abso-
lutely sure that the Bible was true, and
he could not see why anybody could
disagree with its plain teachings.
"Bredren," he said, "ef de Bible say de
sun rise an set den it do rise an set!
An how ken it rise an set eff hit don
mo>,!
I'm de tenth chapter O de book O
Joshwy, an de twelf, thirteenth an
fo'teenth verses, dar is proof strong
ernuff fer us all. De Lawd said, Sun
stand thou still on Gideon, and thou
moon in the valley of Ajalon. And
the sun stood still and the moon stayed
until the people avenged themselves
upon their enemies. And there was
no day like that before it or after it,. "
The old preacher stopped there and
paused a long time. Finally he said:
"Bredren, eff de sun stood still once
when twas a-movin' an den stahted
to movin' ergin, hit is a-movin' now!
"Dey say de earth am roun'. Dat
ain so, bredren; it can't be so, for de
book O. Revelations, Chapter VII, verse
Ist, reads, 'And I saw four angels
standing on the four corners of the
earth An now, bredrcn an sisters,

was for ten years one of the leading |
women there. Her husband, when liv-
ing, was first President of the Nebraska
Wesleyan University, at Lincoln, Neb.
In letter written from 401 Sixty
seventh street, W., Chicago, ILL.,, Mrs
Fleharty says the following in regard
to Peruna:
Having lived very active life as
wife and working partner of busy
minister, my health failed me few
years ago. 1 lost my husband about
the same time, and gradually seemed
to lose health and spirit. My daughter
is a confirmed invalid, and we both felt
great need of an invigorator.
lone of my neighbors advised me
to try Peruna. A bottle was fn7medi-
afeLy secured and a great change took
place In my daughters as well as In
my own health. Our appeHfes i'm
proved very greatly, tie digestion
seemed much helped, and resffuI sleep
soon improved us, so that we seemed
like new women.

What used to be called female dis
eases by the medical profession is now
called pelvic catarrh. 1t has been
found by experience that catarrhal
diseases of the pelvic organs are the
cause of most cases of female disease.
DR.. Hartman was among the first of
Americas great physicians to make
this discovery. For forty years he has
been treating diseases peculiar to
women, and long ago he reached the
conclusion that woman entirely free
from catarrhal affection of these or
! gans would not be subject to female
disease. He therefore began using Pc
runa for these cases and found it SC
admirably adapted to their permanent
cure that Peruna has now become the
most famous remedy for female dis
eases ever known. Everywhere the
women are using it and praising it
Peruna is not a palliative simply; il
cures by removing the cause of female
disease.
DR.. Hartman has probably curet
more women of female ailments thar
any other living physician. He makes
these cures simply by using and rec
ommending Peruna.
