these you must conc te your gaze.
They will perceptibly Sell and ex-
pand, and before yor will have real
lied the miracle they will spread out
into long, transparent, flowing wings,
with beautiful white veins. Thus
they will shoot out, like the petals
of the moon flower. until they extend
beyond the rapidly transforming
insects tail. In the moonlight such
tree looks for all the world as
though it were full of beautiful
white blossoms in various stages of
expansion.
Only twenty minutes will have
elapsed between the splitting of the
brown shell worn so many years
below the ground and the full ex-
pansion of the wings. If you will
rise early the next morning and ex-
anime these cicadas before dawn YOU
will discover that during the night
they have assumed the dark colors
characterizing them in the aerial
stage.
This stage will last but five or six
weeks--a brief paradise after so long
a probation in Hades. During this
short period both sexes will attend
actively to the needs of perpetuating
their kind; will be sluggish, helpless
and with an absence of fear, doubt
less due to their long life of undis-
turbed isolation. They will rarely fly
and seldom if ever take food. The
male will be shorter lived than his
mate. For four or five weeks only
will he sing his song of love and
courtship, while she for little longer
period will busy herself plowiug the
young branches of trees to deposit
her eggs, which are to produce the
subsequent generation, due in 1919.
BY the middle of July all of the
winged cicadas will have fallen to
the ground again, perhaps, within
few feet of the holes from which
they bad issued In May. Here they
will be dismembered and scattered
about to carpet the ground with their
wings and body fragments. Mean
while, the Lext generation will have
descended into the earth to begin it's
seventeen years of subterraneau cell
bacy and seclusion.

STUNNED BROTHER IN BLUE.
Romantic Meeting Between Two
kinsmen on Streets OF Ph9bus.

An incident replete with romance,
bitterness and pathos occurred on
the streets of Phebus, Va, last
week when an ex-Confederate Mary
land soldier ignored a brother whom
be had not seen since the breaking
out of the civil war, because he had
on the blue garb Of Union veteran.
They were brothers, Marylanders,
and soldiers in the civil war.
The family of Kings in the town
of Princess Anne, Somerset county,
Md, were divided likewise. The
father and his son Albert King cast
their lot and joined the First Mary
land regiment of the Western Shore,
Col. Herbert commanding. His
brother John, sYmpathizing with the
North, joined the First Maryland
regiment of the Eastern Shore, COM
manded by Col. James Wallace. At
the battle of Gettysburg both were
engaged, and at one time the one
clashed against the other.
At this engagement the father
was killed. His son, the Confed-
crate soldier, bore the body of his
dead parent from the field and took
the remains to Eastern Shore and
buried them there. After the war
the family of Kings disowned the
brother who had been in the North
ern army.
Albert King, the Confederate, hav-
ing lost all his property by the war,
left Maryland for the Pacific Slope.
After thirty odd years in the west
he returned to this part of the coun-
try and came to Old Point to visit
the scene of the war.
While walking in the streets of
Ph9bus he entered into q conversa-
tion with some old soldiers. After a
few remarks one of the veterans
gave brief account of his career.
King, to his astonishment, found be
was his brother, clad in the blue of
the veteran, and was an inmate of
the Soldiers Home. Without utter
ing word he hurriedly walked away
and returned to Old Point. Here, in
giving the account, ne broke down
and cried like a child. He seemed
filled with bitterness. The fact that
he had found his brother an inmate
of the home seemed to strike MIN
as worse than his brother fighting
AGAINST him,

Shark Swallowed Message.

Mrs. George Cummings, of West
Cape May, n. j., has received let
ter which she highly prizes. A little
over a year agv, when she was Miss
Beulah Bate, she wrote a message,
put it in a rubber-corked beer bottle
and threw it into Delaware Bay. A
few days ago she received a letter
written by the captain of the British
warship Thunder in answer to the
message placed in the bottle. The
commander of the Thunder stated
in his letter that while off the coast
of Portugal shark was caught and
the bottle was found inside the fish.

THE FATE OF THE MAN WHO
DISREGARDED TINES CALL.

Mr.. Lszybones sat, in the summer of
youth,
Meath the shade OF sturdy oak tree,
And the minions of Time gathered round
him and sang,
"Tell US why you will so idle be?
Come along with us now, while you're
brave, young aud strong
Father Time will assist to succeed;
Come along, while you've vigor! Don't
sit there and smile.
When you're old, Time no longer will
heed"
Mr.. Lszybones, blissful, In idleness sat,
While the years sped along on their
way;
DE was startled, one morn, for his eyes
bad grown dim.
And his hair was fast turning TO gray.
Then be sprang after Time, crying, "Give
me a chancel
am willing 20 workl-sure j canr'
But few of Times tail feathers only he
got
Time was after Jealous young man.

know: At the first indication of
diphtheria In the throat make the
room close, then take teacup aud
pour into it an equal quantity of tur-
pentine and tar; then hold the cup
over the fire so as to fill the room
with the fumes. The patient inhal-
ing the fumes will cough out the
membraneous matter and diphtheria
will pass off. The fumes of tar and
turpentine loosen the throat and
thus afford the relief that has baffled
the skill of the physicians.

AS TO GARDENS.

Garden-Craft Old and New" by
John ID. Seeding, is book to read in

wath scent of lavender and haw-
thorn.
Mr. Seeding believes in the old
'ashoned garden, as opposed to mod
erh landscape gardening; and he has
brought out truth which most peo-
PIE nave overlooked or never thought
OF, that the old-time garden was gen.
orally the result of deliberate design
and much thought on the part of the
gardener, and was calculated to have
a subtle fitness of proportion and ar
rangement. A note of introduction
informs readers that he was an ar
chitect, and that he died before the
book was published: that he had
great love for flowers and studied
them patiently, for their own sake
and also in relation to their artistic
value in art. In his own profession
he won high praise from William
Morris and Z. Burne-Jones, and this
introductory sketch confirms the inn
preston which any sensitive person
will get from the book, that its au-
