THE MALE CRICKET.
Curious Treat He Develops For the
Lady of His Choice.

Lady Of His Choice.
In the American Naturalist J. l..
Hancock gives an interesting descrip-
tion of some of the habits of the
striped meadow cricket. The most
striking part of the account deals
with the allurements which the male
crickets possess. When he wishes to
attract the female the male cricket
raises his fore wings vertically above
his head and by rubbing them over
each other produces a high pitched
singing, or, perhaps better, shrilling.
When the females attention has been
attracted she goes to the male and
proceeds to take advantage of the re-
freshments offered. Upon the mates
back, situated well forward on the
thoraX, is little depression or well in
which small quantity of semifuid
material is secreted. Climbing up on
the males back, the female eats this
apparently delicious morsel with great
eagerness. 1t is evidently something
especially choice which is formed
there for her especial benefit. This
proceeding suggests that treating as a
means of winning lady's love is not
confined to the allurements of ice
cream and soda water. - Golfers

Practical idealism takes with the
German chiefly the form of devotion to
duty. In the Russian it is q readiness
to sacrifice everything to his inward
feeling. In the Anglo-Saxon it Is the
stalking of the whole person for con-
crete, palpable and distinctly fixed pur-
pose. In the Frenchman it is d general
idea which carries him away to great

Civilization and the Kafir.

On bare feet Of which the skin grew
so tough as to enable him to run over
the sharpest rocks without fiinching,
the old Kattir could easily walk, as
fast as horse trots, fifty miles a day.
The Kaffir who still goes barefoot can
do so today. He used likewise to be
able to get light-the "boy" who is
constantly bothering one now for
matches-by rubbing two sticks to-
gether. Now he is as helpless in the
dark as ourselves.-Pall Mall Gazette.

PERSIAN DISHONESTY.
II Fermentes Every Glass of Society
From Highest to Lowest.

Vcracity is a scarce article in Persia,
according to the Rev. Napier Malcolm.
In his give Years In the Persian
Town" he writes of conditions In Yezd
as follows "In the Yezd bazaars prob.
ably not less than one-thrd of the
speeches made by Mussulmans are
falsehoOds. One day q cook of a Euro
pean went to the bazaar and after the
usual haggling fixed the price of some
meat at u krans for thirteen pounds
But said the cook, you've got your
thumb on the scales Did you think,
rctorted the butcher, that | would
give you meat ut thirteen pounds for
II krans unless | kept my thumb on

was considered a fairly respectable
man whose sole business was the forg-
ing of seals.
But the fact is that every class,
from the highest to the lowest, is
thoroughly permeated by the leaven of
dishonesty. A MOhammedan assured
me that truth speaking and honesty
had nothing to do with religion, but
were purely matter of climate. In
that case said |, the people of Persia
ought to speak the truth very well, for
one of the Greek historians who lived
before the Mohammedan era declared
that the Persians were famous for
speaking the truth But who does
not know replied the Mohammedan,
that the climate of country changes
entirely every 1000 yearsT"

A SWIMMING POOL.
How to Make One In II Brook or Run
ming Stream.

ming Stream.
The brook or running stream of
natural outdoor water gives a variety
of chances for the man who wishes to
live his life Alright The brook can
be converted, without being diverted,
into a swimming pool for boys by
building dam at the point where the
banks do little extra shelving and
tend to form natural basin. The bot
tom should be spaded out and made
more of Il reservoir in its capacity and
shape. The dam itself can be made by
a family of boys at the cost of the
lumber and nails involved. The en-
bankments are sodded. The sides of
the spillway are made of wooden posts
driven into the ground and boarded
up. This makes box up affair, or
rather two boxes, one ON each side of
the stream. These boxes are filled
with sand, rocks and sods to make
solid cubic piece of resistance. The
sOdded embankments run across the
valley or depression of the brook hol-
low to the higher ground. BY means
of a lever-a pole playing into
wooden jawed socket and weighted
with a rock or pieces of iron)-the
water gate can be opened against a
strong headway of water The water
flows over the top of the spillway
when it is closed, and by raising the
gate the pond can be emptied or re
duced TO the normal level of the brook.

TRUE WAY TO MAKE TEA.
A Science which Includes Many Mys-
terics In the Brew.

ttficN HI tne brew.
Luwuh, poet, saw in the tea serv-
Ice the same harmony and order which
reigned through all things. In his Gel
ebrated work, the "Cha-klng" C',rhe
Holy Scripture of Tea'), he formulated
the code of tea. He has since been
worshiped as the tutelary god of the
Chinese tea merchants.
In the fifth chapter Luwuh describes
the method of making tea. He dwells
on the much discussed question of the
choice of water and the degree of boil
ing it. According to him, the noun
tain spring is the best; the river water
and the spring water come next in
the order of excellence. There are
three stages of boiling The first boil
Is when the little bubbles like the eyes
of fishes swim on the surface. The
second boil is when the bubbles are
like crystal beads rolling in a fountain.
The third boil is when the pillows
surge wildly in the kettle. The cake
tea is roasted before the fire until it
becomes soft like a baby's arm and
Is shredded into powder between
pieces of fine paper. Salt is put in
the first boil, the tea in the second. At
the third boil dipperful of cold water
Is poured into the kettle to settle the
tea and revive the youth of the wa

There must be solid, honest store news
