The open air career of the seventeen

in its dormant and earlier form it is
said TO live underground for seventeen
years. feeding on roots.

a subterranean chamber, where il re-

pairing in some mysterious manner for
its brief enjoyment of freedom.
With perfect regularity at the end
OF the allotted period myriads of these
insects attain maturity and emerge
from their long Imprisonment. when
for month or so the winged male
sings his striking song of courtslip.
while the female busies herself with
laying eggs.
There is continuous record for
about two centuries of the recurrence
of the cicada at these seventeen year
intervals. The first note on the subject
was made in iTl5.

Much Danger in
PromiSCuOus Photographs

From the New York Mail and Express
A manual on newspaper reporting
published a dozen years ago, had a
bit of counsel to out of town corres-
D lndents which ran somewhat in this
wise: Don't send people away to-
gether. When a man and women
leave town the same day, put them
in different ntparagraphs- This advice
is just as good when it comes to get
ting ones picture taken. The man
or woman who stands up in front of a
camera with a mere acquaintance,
or who makeso one of a casual group 20

est cuts of fate. Fate wrecks itself
in the pictorial newspapers, or per
haps as Exhibit A in the divorce
courts.
The best that can be said of the man
with the promiscuous photograph
habit is that he has a beautiful con-
fidence in human nature. confidence
that constitutes a statute of limita-
ton on the part of his acquaintances,
and a p'enary n lulgen e for their
future. So you see him smirking
blandly from the show window of a
tintype gallery, with Foolish Young
Things head on his shoulder, or hold
ing down some picturesque mount ain
rock in company with a fair fellow
guest at a Catskill hotel. Later the
gods who are lying in wait for him
despite that prOverb about children
and fools-smite him through the
deeds of an acquaintance he may
have forgotten, or of third party
ne has never met, and he has some
thing to explain that will keep him
busy
If any one thinks that caution in
such matters is needle IS or unkind,
let him turn up the group photograph
he had taken in his grammar school
DAYS and call the roll of his old
schoolmates. He will be lucky il
none of them has had work house
experience or has gra- itated into the
''eminently undesirable" class. That
is no argument at all against the
group school photograph: but it il
reason why one should not give hi
acquaintances the status of intimate

That Extra Hdlf-H0ur.

President Roosevelt issued an order
the other day which carried dismay
into the ranks of 100000 employees of
the government departments. He
found they were putting in only seven
hours per day-from 9 to 4 p. m. He
ordered that they should work an ex-
ira half-hour-to 4:30.
Here is the logic of the order'
There are loo, 600 department clerks.
One-half an hour extra each day
means $4,000 additional hours per
week. equivalent to the addition of
Z, l43 more clerks, and gain in labor
to the government of seven million
dollars per year.
The order caused a tremendC us
flutter among the clerks. Many of
hem are pursuing studies to tit them
for professions-the law, medicine,
engineering, etc. The institutions
which give instruction in these have
their time schedules so arranged as
to accommodate their classes made
up of government employees. These
schedules have all been disarranged,
and have to be made to conform to the
new order. There are dozens of prac-
ticing physicians among the clerks,
who leave the departments. hurry to
their offices, and practice medicine
/ during the evening hours, and they
find things sadly disarranged by the
/ Presidents order. Suburban trains or
the various railways had their time
tables arranged to suit the army of
commuters from the departments,
and had to make sudden and radica
changes.
The clerks appealed to their fIiend
in Congress, a matter of course, anl
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, in
troduced a resolution bearing on th'
matter, Senator Gallinger. of New
Hampshire. promptly called atten
tion to the point that the law re
quires seven bours' work in the de
partments, and that the Presiden
was merely carrying out the plai
letter of the statute No doubt a

THE ANCESTRAL TREE.
ITS Branches May he Widespread For
Some Future Americans.


Speaking of hcterogeneities and the
homogeneousness of the same. if one
may say il. the American. say 800
years from now. may have some trou-
BILE in tracing the lines of his family
tree" said a thoughtful man. AT any
rate. Judging from the progress the
United States is making, there is a
chance for a few difficulties along this
line. In the erstwhile, and even now,
the job was comparatively simple. 1t
was and is simply a question of going
back to the days of the Revolution,
colonial days. the days of the white
haired grand danes. But the American
of the future will have no such simple
task. Ones family tree must branch
out and expand with the country. For
instance. the men and women of the
future will have TO trace their lines
through an ancestry thus geographical
ly given: Indian. Mexican. American,
Hawaiian. Porto Rican. Cuban. Philip
pinian. PanaInaian and Alaskan. And
yet these are only a few of the pos
sibilities which might be mentioned in
the same connection and for the same
reason. Uncle Sam is an expansive
sort OF fellow. and just where he viii
quit one may not guess even in the
wild recklessness of ones fancy The
American OF the future may be put to
the dire extremity of showing some
sort of remote ancestry association
with even the lynx eyed far eastern
ers. New Orleans Times-Democrat
