England's Newspaper Tax.

On June 10, 1855, England's newspa-
per stamp duty was abolished and the
reign Of the cheap daily began. This
tax on knowledge" was first imposed
In 1712 and was made most severe by
the act Of 1920. which fixed it at 8
cents a sheet, with 81 cents duty on
each advertisement. The Wings re-
duced the duty to n penny in 1886, but
when the Crimean war broke out and
every n wanted the news even a
penny duty was found to be intolera-
BILE. Its repeal Is called the Magma
Charta of the British press.

THE MALE CRICKET.
Curious Treat He Develops For h
Indy of HIS Choice.

In the American Naturalist j. l..
Hancock gives an interesting descrip.
tlon Of some Of the habits of the
striped meadow cricket. The most
striking part Of the account deals
with the a~llurements 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 a little depression or well in
which a small quantity Of semihuid
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 a lady's love is not
confined to the allurements Of ice
cream and soda water. - Golfers

NEBRASKA CROP CONDITIONS.
Corn Promises a Good Yield and Other
Grains Make Fair Showing.

Lincoln, Aug. 1.-The rain Of the
last week in central and southern
counties delayed stacking and thresh-
ing, but the work Is well advanced for
this time of the year. The harvest Of
oats and spring wheat has progressed
nicely in northern counties. Oats are
a fair to good crop, and spring wheat
a light crop. Haying has been gem
eral and has been retarded somewhat
by rain. The second crop Of alfalfa
Is being cut. 1t Is a good crop. A
part OF the crop was damaged by rain
in southwestern counties. Corn has
grown well and is caring nicely in
southern counties. All but very late
corr Is now generally in tassel. The
crop is ten days to two weeks late in
northern counties, but nearly as far
advanced as usual in southern coun.
ties at this time Of the year. The
crop Is in a very promising condition
in most counties. Fall blowing has
begun quite generally with the ground
in good condition.
