How Insects Make Music.

The katydid has a wing that is
very curious to look at, says Laura
Roberts, in "Four Feet, Two Feet,
and No Feet" You have seen this
little insect, I have no doubt. Its
color is light green, and just where
the wing joins the body, there is a
thick ridge, and another on the wing.
On this ridge there is a thin but
strong skin which makes a sort of
drumhead.
1t is the rubbing of these two
ridges or drumheads together which
makes the queer noise you have
heard. There is no music in it, GER
tainly. The insects could keep quiet
if they wished, but they must enjoy
making the noise.
The katydid sometimes makes two
rubs on it's drumhead, and sometimes
three. You can fancy she says:
Katy did," "She did" or "She
didn't" The moment it is very dark
they begin. Soon the whole company
is at work. As they rest after each
rubbing, it seems as if they an
swered each other.
Did you know that bees hum from
under their wings? It is not the
stir of those beautiful light wings
that we hear. It is the air drawing
in and out of the air tubes, in the
bees quick flight. The faster the
bee flies, the louder the humming is.
Did you know that insects feel? In
deed they do! They have nerves all
over them, through their wings and
ont to the end of every feeler.

A Mystery.

the names of the three gentlemen

per without letting any one read the
names. but preserving the ashes On a
plate.
Take the ashes and rub them on
the back of your left arm or hand,
when the name Of the future husband
appears with startling distinctness.
The name must be previously writ

arm in milk. and held to the fire for
a moment, when the milk writing be-

4 few words ~impressing the fact
that the three names must be the

write being coincident with one of
the three; but failing this, the mys-
terry Is just as great.-Selected.

Study the Birds.


If the children might be educated
in regard to birds much of the pref
udice among farmers would be over
come.
Children are naturally interested
in birds; it is a part of their nature
to watch, to study, and to admire
these little care-free creatures; then
they need instruction = someone,
teachers or parents-to tell them
the names and habits of the different
birds.
The children can be interested to
the extent of building bird-houses,
little homes for these children of the
woods; when a child puts up a bird
house and a family of birds takes up
its residence there, he assumes a
protectorate over this family and
watches them So closely that by the
time the small members of the fam
lily are full grown, he knows so much
about their habits and general ap-
pearance that he never mistakes them
for other birds.
After this, his interest extends to
other members of the feathered
world. The wood-pecker is a good
subject for study. He is not shy;
you can go within a few feet of him
and not disturb him at his work.
1t is the prevailing idea among
farmers that all wood-peckers injure
trees, and many a downy wood-pecker
has lost his life while really doing
a good turn for his slayer. It is
the ~sap-sucker who has ruined the
reputation of the downy. 1t is he
who makes the large holes in trees.
Do not confuse him with the downy.
If the crow instead of the naPe be
red, the breast black and the throat
cardinal, it is a sap-sucker.
Many birds suffer for the wrong
doing of other birds; if the farmer
observes closely he will find out which
is the true criminal. There is really
no bird that the farmer can afford
to kill. They are every one of more
or less economic value to him.
The robin, it is true, eats a few
berries, but he also destroys enough
insects to pay for them.
The English sparrow seems to be
a useless factor in creation, and yet
we see him always hopping around
and picking up something from the
ground. So he must be destroying
insects, too.
Bugs and worms are enemies
without doubt, and these little busy
people of the air are helping us al
they can, but because we see them
eat a few cherries or find our tender
young lettuce destroyed (pOssibly by
these same insects), we get our guns
and go out and kill our best friends

Methodist Missionary Committee Awards
Sums to the Northwest

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 11.-At the open
ing session of the general missionary COM
mittee of the Methodist Episcopal church

missionary society," Dr. Homer Eaton, of
New York, was the principal business
The report was for the year ending Oct.

denomination to have surpassed those of
any former year in the history of the
church. The receipts for the year amount
to $1,654,223, passing the million and a
half mark for the first time. The in
crease for the year, aside from special
gifts, amounted to $136,974. The dis
burSementS for the year for all purposes
were 81 1865, 4S5 of which $716,411 went to
foreign missions and $475,870 to home
missions.
The general appropriations made at the
morning session left 81 ,295, 600 to be ap-
propriated to the various missions, home
and foreign. A motion prevailed which
provided for the appropriation of SIS, 900
for property interests in the foreign mis-
sions. West Wisconsin was granted 81, 200
and Wisconsin SO, 600 These sums are used
to supplement pastoral support in charges

Special to The Globe.

special TO Ine GLOBE.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 11.-After
escaping a trial for violating the oleo-
margarine law of Iowa three times on
technicalities, the Armour Packing
company will have to prove to the Polk
county law court that it has not vio-
lated the Iowa statute. Today Judge
James A. Howe ruled on a demurrer to
the Indictment returned by the grand
jury against the company. 1t was over
ruled. The company contended that
the Indictment was at fault in that 1t
did not name the substance which it
was claimed it placed in the product to
give it the appearance of butter. Judge
Howe held:
CAS- l interpret the law, it prohibits
the combining of any substance with
purpose or with the effect of imparting
butter. The statute also prohibits the
sale of such product and this is what
the indictment charges. 1t may con-
tain surplusage, but, as l understand
the law, it contains all that is necessary
to charge an offense under the law. J.
see no reason for believing the statute
is unconstitutional"
The company will fight the case bit
terly. The prosecuting witness is Dairy
Commissioner Wright, who is confident
that the Armour Packing company
has been violating that provision which
prohibits coloring imitation butter to
resemble the genuine.

DISCUSS METHODS
OF CHARITY WORK
Second Days Session of the
State Conference Is Largely
Attended.

The attendance at the twelfth an
nual state conference of Charities and
Corrections at Plymouth church yes
terday increased to 400 and included
many prominent men and women of
the Twin Cities.
The most notable speaker of the con-
ference was Edward T. Devine, general
secretary of the charity organization
of New York city, who last night spoke
on the proper administration Of chart
table relief. "Organized charity" he
said, Stands for the development and
encouragement of charitable impulses.
If the worldwide desire to help others
can be organized, associated and di-
rected, we shall see the end of one half

plea for Personal Service" She
pointed out the mistake of depending
upon theory rather than personal In
character and events.
AT the morning session Judge J. w.

compelling a husband to labor for
wages In workhouse as remedy for
desertion. The present law compels the
state to care for the deserted family and

Frank l.. Randall, of the st. Cloud
reformatory, thought that the confine-
ment in Jail of prisoners in idleness
while awaiting trial is bad thing, and
recommended that prisoners confessing

waiting for the converting of grand

neapolfs Associated Charities char
acteriZed the Hennepin county jail as
the worst school for crime in the
Northwest, as hardened criminals cor
rupt first offenders by being confined
with them.
In the afternoon Judge E. w. BazilIe,
of st. Paul, read paper on Neglected
and Dependent Children in the Pro-
bate Court" He called attention to
the fact that twenty-five years ago the
bringing of such children before the
probate court was an almost unheard-
of occurrence, and cited these reasons
for the increase-the perfecting of our
civilization; the greater and more Sc
ductive temptations leading to the
weakening Of family ties; the conges-
ton of large centers of population
where parents are unable ito properly
teach and guide their children. In his
experience he had not found the Off
GERS of the Humane society and other
charitable organizations too jealous in
trying to separate children from OBJ
Jectlonable parents, as has often been
charged. He considered that the homes
whose only want is poverty should not
be interefered with.
Mrs. H. A. Tomlinson, Mrs w. e..
Bramhall, ST. Paul; Mrs. C. G. Higbee
Mrs. Lydia p. Williams and Mrs. e.
