The Grasshoppers Song.

A writer in an English paper tells
us some interesting facts about the
grasshapper. This insect has a wing
that is very curious to look at. You
have doubtless seen the grasshopper.
It's color is light green, and just
where the wings join the body there
is a thick ridge and another on the
wing. On this ridge there is thin
but strong skin, which makes q sort
of drum head.
1t is the rubbing of these two
ridges, or drum heads, which makes
the queer noise you have heard.
There Is no music in it certainly.
The insects could keep quiet if they
wished, but they must enjoy making
the noise.
The grasshopper sometimes makes
two rubs on his drum head and
sometimes three. The moment it is
very dark it begins. Soon the whole
company is at work. As they rest
after each rubbing it seems Ss if
they answered one another.

VOLCANOES IN MARYLAND.

Professor Philip R. Uhler returns
to the city with the report Of dis
covery which he made in the west
,ern Maryland mountains. Three
peaks, the principal one named
Buzzard's knob, crown plateau
about six miles from the city. 1t
was for Professor Uhler to discover
that the three prominenceS are in
fact volcanoes and that they are the
very oldest type of volcanic rock
that is found in the United States.
These peaks are Of q different
form from volcanoes like Vesuyius.
In the latter form of volcano molten
lava and stones are forced up by
superheated steam, leaving a deep
hole, but in these craters in western
Maryland the whole mountain was
originally in a molten condition,
and,th top crust-was forced upward
in a dome shaped form, and such
lava as did escape was forced out in
vents at various places. The vol
csnic rock of the region is metal
bearing, and specimens Of gray,
green and gold copper were found
by Dr. Uhier. The domes OF the
craters we're somewhat elliptical in
shape-Baltimore American.

Pin Drop.

Give each person six pins. Have
one person at a time take up his po-
sition on the rug or carpet and,
standing erect with his arm stretch
ed out from the shoulder, drop the
pins one at time. Each pin that
stands upright in the carpet means
a point for the player. The person
having most points is prize winner
If two or more have equal scores
they must draw for the prize, which
if there is any way of obtaining such
an article at the time might be a
pretty pin tray. A very pretty one
can be made of heavy white linen,
embroidered with tiny roses and
having the edge turned up all
around, buttonholed with colored
silk and the corners tied together
With ribbon.

Good Hint.

Although it has been said that
puns belong to the lowest order Of
wit, there are occasions when a well
timed pun serves an excellent pur-
pose. One of these occasions was
improved a good many years ago by
Boston man, honored and beloved
by all who knew him. 1t was at the
centennial anniversary of the "tea
party" which was held in Faneuil
FALL. The first speaker said that, to
him, the card of invitation, which
bore large teapot, gave delicate
intimation which he should endeav-
or to bear in mind, as he doubted
not the other speakers would also.
81 noticed" said he, with the utmost
gravity, "that the teapot, though a
large one, had very short spout"

There is a man in Enfield, Conn,
who drives carriage to and from
the station for the accommods-

ingly slow, nearly always being lit
tie behind time.
One day he was engaged to carry
q lady to a train which it was very
important she should catch. She
watched and waited, with hat and
coat on, until it was nearly train
time. AT last Mr.. c. drove up, hur-
rying not an atom.
The lady's husband flew to the
door and impatiently shouted

The savinn Of Grace.

Some of Dickens most touching
and effective word pictures were
those family gatherings where for \
moment song and mirth were hush
ed and the revered head of the
household quietly invoked a blessing
on the repast. Who does not remem-
Der the wedding feast at the Wardle
home, when even genial Mr.. Pick
wick brushed away a tear and Dick
ems voiced his feelings in that MEM
orable passage, "There are dark
spots on the earth, but its light
shines brighter in the contrast"
And through a mist of happy MEM
cries rises the home of the CHEEKY
bic brothers, those typical examples
who in the midst of their prosperity
always remembered at mealtime the
"giver of all good" 'For these and
all other blessings, brother Charles"
said Ned, lord, make US truly
grateful, brother Ned" said Charles.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
The Dish Of Nuts 10 a Clever Trick to
Play at a Party.

The Dish Of Nuts 10 a Clever Trick to
Play at a Party.
Try this trick when you have
some friends dine with you:
A boy, Tom by name, tried it, and
his friends thought him very clev-
er. Just when dinner was nearly
over Bridget quietly announced that
the grocer must have forgotten to
bring the nuts and raisins. This
company were all more or less dis
appointed. But Ten, the host,
seemed very angry at this omission.
1mpatiently he said to Bridget,
Fetch me the dish in which the
nuts and raisins should have been
served"
Pretending to be very much an
noyed, he fourished his own napkin
vigorously over the empty dish.
Then carefully lifting the napkin,
much to the surprise of all, the dish
was revealed full of nuts and raisins.
This is how Tom managed the
trick: He had got Bridget to sew
two napkins together all around the
edges and to slit one across the mid
die. The space between the nap
kins made a bag, into which Tom
had slipped the nuts and raisins.
He held the bag between his knees,
with another napkin over his lap.
While he was gesticulating in ap-
parent disappointment, he had
quickly changed napkins. The trick
was clever bit of homemade sleight
of hand, and all shouted at Toms
cleyerness.

9ha Didn't Grind.

mountains a physician who is much
interested in epilepsy in its different
forms heard of a woman with that
disease who had lived to the age of
seventy-nine years. Curious to know
the details of so unusual a case, he
interviewed the widower. Having
inquired concerning different symp-
toms, he proceeded, "Did she grind
her teeth much at nightP" The old
man considered for a minute and
then replied, "Well, 1 dunno as she

THE KATYDID.
Ne Call More Often Consists Of Tive
Notes Than Three.


A naturalist writes: "The most
pretentious musicians Of the entire
(nsect) orchestra belong to the To-
oustidae, the long horns, which
family comprises the green grass
hoppers, those species whose anten-
nae are extremely long, fragile and
hairlike. The musical apparatus Of
the males is situated at the base OF
the wing covers and consists Of a
curiously developed drumlike mem
brane. Undoubtedly the most ia
miliar member of this family is the
katydid. This little creature is a
day as well as a night singer, but il
is the night song with which we
are better acquainted, and with ex-
cellent reason, for during the latter
part of August and throughout Sep
TENDER the night is made resonant
by the sound of their garrulous,
quarrelsome voices. There is a farm
er's myth concerning this insect
that exactly six weeks from the time
the first one is heard will occur the
first frost of the year.
"This insects call more often con-
sists of but two notes instead Of
three, and these two are Of equal
and quite extraordinary emphasis.
When the three notes are given,
however, the first and second are Of
equal length and the last trife
longer. The notes are repeated at
the rate of about 200 a minute, and
when we stop to consider that this
is kept up, practically without a
stop, during the entire night and
every night of the insects life we
may realize what an enormous
amount of energy and strength
must be contained in this diminutive
body.
"Arboreal in his habits is the ka-
tydid, and his night song is delivered
from among the leaves of our tall
est trees. During the day, how
ever, he is content to mingle with
his more lowly brethren, and it is
then that we may find him among
the long grasses of the meadows,
where he may occasionally be heard
giving his daylight performance"

An Exe.p.IonaI EfFset Of NaaaInQ.

A young man was forced into
teaching of mathematics against
stronger inclinations and greater
love for another science because of
a failure to pass an examination in
arithmetic in early life. He was so
badgered and tainted by his family
that in sheer desperation he special
lied in mathematics and even
achieved some distinction therein,
although he is still reminded at
times Of his childish fasco. But not
every young man has so much grit.
Most of the nagging critics victims
are too hurt, sore and discouraged
to attempt further and holder
fights. The wings are clipped and
rarely grow again.-Indeperdent.
