THE LOCUST IS HERE.
Made Their Appearance in How
ard County.

The 17.year locust has arrived and in
were seen in Howard County on Mon
day and their early advent in all parts
of the State may be expected.
To those interested i'll this occurrence
the progress of the insect was watched
most carefully. Reports from all sub.
urban districts agree that the l7year
locust is out in full force.
The 17-year locust is not a pestilence,
in spite of the popular horror at its
prospective appearance. 1t never does
any damage to anything except young
nursery trees and the young shoots OF
mature trees. and rarely infiicts any
permanent injury on the latter When
the female locust is about to hatch Its
eggs it digs slight opening i'll thu
young branch of the tree on which il
has found lodging. Afterward a strong
wind will often break off this branch al
the point where the eggs were inferred
In this way many young fruit and other
trees have been harmed by earlier brood:
and even the most hopeful of the Gov
ernment's students do not expect all the
trees to escape this year.
No other crop can be injured, how
ever, in the least. The locust does not
even touch wheat, corn, rye, oats, ber
ries, vegetables or any other products Of
the field. During his residence under
ground he eats the roots which cross hi.
slight as to be almost incalculable. TIL,
only general ground for apprehending
the septendecimal appearance of this in
sect is that many persons dislike tn,
sight of them on .he trees. and cringe
at the sound of them crawling toward
the tree trunks in the evening.
By all scientific calculations this year:
brood is not likely to offend such sensi
bilities greatly. Many agencies now
oppose the brief existence of the locust
or .Cicada septcndecim, as he is
termed. His burrow is only about two
feet deep, and is consequently destroyed
by deep plowing. Wherever macadam
roads or asphalt streets have been built
since the last brood the locusts are i'm
prisoned ana cannot reach the surface
But most effective of all. the blackbirds
catbirds and sparrows have learned to
eat them, and are gobbling up the brood
rs fast as the new locusts hatch out oi
their old shells.

The Optimist.

Have you read Whitticr's rhymed
story of ''Thc Two Rabbis the Rabbi
Nathan, who sinned at fifty and sought
his old friend, Ben Isaac, that To HIM he
Echatana he met Ben Isaac, and 10 he
was journeying to Nathan to confess his
own sin So together they knelt and
each prayed for the other.
"And, when at last they rose up To
embrace, each saw Gods pardon i'll his
brothers face -
Such is the string of the story; the
tassel is in these fair lines:
Hope not the cure of sin till self is dead;
Forget il i'll loves service, add the debt
Thou ean'st not pay the angels shall forget;
Heavens gate is shut to him who comes alone;
save thou II soul, and il shall save thy own!
The Quaker poet has painted here Il
picture of beauty. but words are. at best,
only the reflections of deeds, and the
glory of the poem is its great truth.
Nor is it solely heavens gate which is
shut to him who comes alone Many of
the gates of earth which open to its best
gardens are closed and eternally locked
to selfishness, while there is no loc' to
which unselfishness is not key.
If you have sin or sorrow, forget il
in loves service. For the one it is the
truest repentance; for the other the sur
est balm. However much we have to
bear in this lower walk, we have never
to seek far for some one whose burden
is greater. or, if not SO, some one who is
less able TO bear what he has. Aud it is
the brothers burden which will most
help us with our own.
Words have no cunning to describe
the JOY of doing for others. 1t is one of
the privileges which an all-wise Maker
has deprived of expression, that none
who wished might miss the fullness of
the joy thereof. Like love, which
speaks its being only in eyes and touch
of lips and hands, in the sublime silence
of a soul come into the presence of that
other soul it has waited these years to
know, this is joy which has no speech
but bein. To feel that from out the
millions you have lightencd, even i'll the
least way, the load of some weary one
is of all medicines that invigorate the
whole being the freest and the best.
And every day is spring time, and every
life needs spring tonic and of all that
are, none is better than the forgctful.

Dainty FriyOlities.

The advent of the shirtwaist season
has brought out the ever useful and
ornamental buckle and belt-pin III man
fold variations.
There is an almost bewildering array
of designs from which to select, but
what at once impresses the eye is the
art which is so generally manifested i'll
their creation. Among the belt-pins
the form of hand painted miniatures,
the worlds famous portraits of lovely
women being reproduced on the pins
destined to fasten the ribbon girdle of
the up.to date girl. The faces of the
fascinating Mary, Queen of SCOTS; the
fair but fated Marie Antoinette. the
lovely Queen Louise. and others are
noticeable in the portrait gallery which
is formed by the exhibit of these minia
ture belt pins beneath the glass of the
jewelers. show case.
The hand painted shirtwaist sets of
porcelain artistically decorated with
lovely little studies of flowers. consist
ing of the cuff buttons and three but
tons for the front of the waist, have
now the belt.p added, this harmonic
ing in its ornamentation with the other
pieces of the set.
"Cupid's kiss is the name of belt
pin or buckle in French gray silver,
which, naturally, is very popular with
girls just at present. 1t shows the head
of lovely maiden. pillowed against
clouds, just i'll the act of loves awaken
ing at the touch of rosy Cupid's kiss.
Since so many of the summer gowns
have elbow sleeves. the jewelers. are
making much of the bracelet. A new
design is the Marguerite, flexible
link bracelet which adjusts itself to any
arm
A novel ornament for the coiffure
consists of ii short gold bar having at
each end jeweled flower or insect. To
this is fastened a pearl studded chain,
which, when the ornament is adjusted
bv means of a pin, droops over the low
coiled knot of hair.
