The Birth of the Cicada.

Even when warm weather comes
again and other cicadas sing gayly
from their trees the subterranean exile
remains within the ground, daily grow
ing larger and stronger until second
winter has come and. gone. Then a
stranger restiessness possesses him,
and, burrowing steadily upward, he at
last emerges from his long retirement
on some warm, moist August morning.
A rough. horny, earth colored creature
he is, with strong hooked feet and
bulky body. Clumsy is he also, and,
staggering along, he gropes blindly
about for some perpendicular object,
up which he laboriously begins to
climb.
Presently slight CULVER shakes his
form, and little crack opens a-down
his back. 1t seems almost as If his un-
wonted exertions had actually burst
his horny shell as the gaping wound
reveals a mass of damp material with
in. Slowly the split widens, and
broad and massive head equipped with
two great shining eyes pushes upward
through the opening, and we realize
that the birth Of a cicada is taking
place.-Frank Leslie's Monthly.

Old Saws md Sayings.

A few old sayings on the subject of
food come to us rather as a surprise
in our age of daintiness and refine
ment, yet they have their raison d'etre
Notwithstanding. "Meat is much; man.
ners are more;;" cease your chatter
and mind your platter "The ass that
brays most eats least;;" THE wing with
the liver to him who's the giver;' HE
can give little to his servant who licks
his own trencher"
Apropos of this remark, it is anus
ing to note that manners" was the
name given to the remnants of a meal
These came to the servants as official
perquisites; hence, our well worn ex-
preston before emptying dish,
Leave the last slice Tor whatever it
may be) for manners" though if votes
were collected on this point it is hardly
likely that any of us would have taken
it as it stands in the original.

The Saving sense of Humor.

Some of the worlds greatest humor-
lists unite with that sprightly gift a
deep tenderness and broad sympathy.
Their lips smile at a spectacle of the
absurd at the same instant that their
eyes overflow in recognizing the pathos
that is its so frequent accompaniment.
1t is this quick perception of a situa-
ton as whole, this power to see all
its aspects at once, that gives us just
judgments tempered by mercy, severity
lined with leniency, that acts as saw
ing grace to culprits.
The world would be better and hap
pier if every one in it who is invested
with authority over his fellows had
this peculiar sympathy with wit, which
makes it impossible for one to be a
bigot and tyrant. Humor and cruel
ty do not go together, although there
Is kind of counterfeit humor some
times mistaken for the real thing,
which Is essentially oppressive, be-
cause it finds enjoyment in looking
upon that which is at the same time
grotesque and horrible. But this is
far removed from the gentle humor
which mellows their judgments and
humaniZes actions. = Florence Hull

Cut Both Ways.

A farmers boy in Scotland was
charged with attempting to steal an
article from shop door. In pleading
his case he said he didn't steal the
thing-"he was only gaun tae dae it."
Whereupon the Judge informed him
that to do 1t and going to do it were all
the same and that he would have to
pay fine Of 10 shillings or 60 to Jail
for ten days.
The boy, not having the money, was
allowed to go and get 1t from friend.
In little while he was seen standing
in the court, and when asked II he had
got the money to pay his fine he an
swered:
INA, but was gaen tae dae 1t, and
ye said that gaen tae dae 1t and dae it

"Stumng a Cold"

The man who originated the oft
quoted maxim. "Stuff cold and starve
a fever either did not understand
what he was writing about or he has
been widely misunderstood. to the
great injury of multitudes who have
acted upon the absurd maxim.
Presuming that the author of 1t was
physician who knew something of
the nature Of colds and the action of
remedies, he must have spoken sub
junctively and not imperatively. and
then it would read thus: "If you stun
a cold, the consequence will be that
you will be thrown into a fever as a
result of the stuffing treatment Of the
cold, and then you will have to starve
the fever"
This is true and sensible interpreta-
tion of this commonly received maxim,
which has done as much harm as any
of the thousand and one popular er-
rors which prevail on medical subjects.
Without dwelling on the nature or
causes of colds or on what physicians
call the pathology of these disorders,
we will say that low or even starva-
tion diet for few days, with the free
drinking of warm. mildly stimulating
teas, is better for a cold than any drug
or combination of drugs.-London Fam
lily Doctor.
