Little Pexts Booked Fer Six Weeks
stand I'm Mountain seafe-Make RARE
Dish For Indians.
New York, May 27.-Nothing In
terests entomologists just now so
much as discovery that the seven
teen year locust has again made his
appearance to worry farmers
wherever 1t appears.
Already every p,ecaution Is ia :
ken to kill these insects. They live
butsix weeks, make lite hideous with
their noises, and then their bodies
cover the ground.
The plague of locusts In 1855 ap-
peared In Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Ohio, Iodiana, Illinois and In some
OF the southern states. They cause
much injury to the tender shrubs
and trees.
The female locust deposits her
eggs on twigs and leaves. She eats.
The male does not. Both perish In
five or six weeks. When the eggs
hatch out six weeks later, aud the
young locrsts drop to the ground
and burrow into the earth, to rest
and grow for seventeen years.
The male sings" His musical
apparatus consists of two small
drums of membrane at the sides of
the abdomen. There are made to
vibrate by small muscles.
One locust makes a great noise.
Thousands of them make a din that
cannot be described.
The / ldiaus eat locusts They
make a rare dish-served every II
years. Scientists have tested the
edibility of the insect: They found
that If they are fried In butter, they
are rather palatable.
The locust will surely appear In
New Jersey. Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky.
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan
and Wisconsin. In Virginia the
locusts are already destroying the
fruit trees. They prefer the young
trees.

prices of cattle were low. They
bought at 3 or 4 cents a pound and
are now selling 1t to retailers at
cents pound. Many of the latter,
it is suspected. have so much taken
advantage of the situation as to
sell it at prime meat prices. Others,
content with a more moderate

The Indian Duck Trick

A little tin or earthen pan or some
times half a cocoanut shell supported
ON three stones Is filed with water on
which is sprinkled a red powder, rem
dering 1t practically opaque. A little
duck of wood or porcelain is placed
upon the surface, where it at first
floats, but at the command Of the per-
former suddenly dives. remaining sub
merged until again ordered to rise.
This very ingenious trick depends
upon the fact that In the bottom of the
vessel there is a minute hole through
which passes a hair. One end of this
is attached to the duck; the other re-
mains at the disposal Of the performer
and Is attached, by means Of a pellet
of wax, to his tomtOm or TO one Of the
hands with which he beats 1t. When
he wishes the duck to dive, he pulls
the hair. When he desires 1t to rise.
he relaxes the pull.
There is naturally some amount of
leakage through the plnhOle, and to
cover this the performer takes care,
when filing the pan, to accidentally %
spill little water The ground being
thus already wetted, the fact that IT
gets little more is not noticed

His Three Good Deeds.

A certain business man noted for his
grasping methods came into his Office
one day and told his partner that he
was very happy because he had done
three good deeds that morning. 'Tn
the first place." he said, 81 met a poor
woman who was weeping bitterly be-
cause she had lost the 81 with which
she had intended to pay for the bap-

dollar bill, telling her to have the child
baptized and give me the change as l
came from my club. Charity was one
good deed. Saving the child's soul was
the second"
"And what was the third?" asked
the partner.

Wealth is a relative term. One man

to me the other day, when, driving past

who claimed friendship on the strength
OF Giving next door when we were

Calling the Hours.


There Is one place in London. and
bnly one, where the ancient custom OF
keeping a Waterman TO call out the
hours is still maintained. This Is at
New inn, which In spite Of its name is
one Of the Oldest inns of court. The
servants there are quite proud OF the
age Of the place. and 1t was one OF
them who said one day:
"Why, sir. this inn was here In the
time of Charles l."
After a long pause, to allow TINS STUN
ming fact to percolate through the brain
of the hearer, he extended his arm ana
added with emphasis:
"And It was here in the time OF
Charles H."
Some vague notion Of the disturb
ances which interviewed between the
two reigns had probably been floating
through the mans mind, but how an
existing institution could possibly have
dated from the reign of Charles l. with
out coming down through the reign or
Charles ii. he failed to explain.
Beginning at the stroke OF 10 O'CLOCK
every night, the Waterman In the yard
Of New Inn calls the hour" in STEM
torian but musical voice:
'Ten O'Clock, and alrs well!'
The words are heard In the adjoin-
ing chambers and offices. Tenants In
Clements inn, whose rooms look into
the pretty yard and garden of New Inn.
may hear these words every hour
through the night If awake. - New
