THE EGGS.

sect passes the winter in the egg stage.
In the south they are laid on the edges
of leaves, frequently, a row on each
surface, says the Ohio Farmer. The in
sect has two generations in the south.
When theeggs are laid, the surface OF the
twigH is first roughened by the jaws. The
eggs are then laid, one after another, the
successive ones being pushed for a
short distance in under the preceding.
The number laid by each female varies
from 100 to $50. In the spring the egg
splits along the top and the young
katydid emerges, very pale IN color.
Mr.. Scudder, who has made a study OF
the song of the katydid, says the night
song and the day song differ.

Girls are by the way of worship
Ing teachers because of little externals
that h2vo not very much to dc with
the teachers efficiency. A teacher who
has lovely eyes and beautiful hair, ane
the suspicion of a dimple when she
smiles, or who wears pretty thingi
and is very attractive as to waists ane
stocks, has a great advantage over her
palmer associate, who is Indifferent tt
dress.
On the whole, l sympathize With
girls in admiring the teacher who is
invariably immaculate and tidy, ann
who has about her the bright attract
iveness of perfect health and the
beauty that is typical of womanly
goodness. 1t is our duty whether We
are girls in our teens or women be.
yond them always to look as charm
ing and to behave as amiable as VIZ
can. When the unpopular teacher for.
gets this fact or ignores it, when
she is willfully eccentric or lapses int?
mannerisms that are awkward and un-
calmly, she sacrifices part of her cap.
ital and makes it a %foregone conclu-
sion that she will not succeed as sha
ought.
But ! put it to every one of you. Is
1t fair to start new work with a new
teacher without being a. least willing
to give her your confidence? Or II
you are already in a class and dc
not like your teacher, is it never worth
while to be honest and candid and in
quire If you are not just a little Bit
to blame for the state of things your.
selves? In this world a lot Of trouble
springs from misunderstanding thai
might as well never come to this
front, and people who should be gooj
friends stand aloof and never get ac
quainted because they let a trifing and
non-essentia thing keep them apart.
A very thoughtful writer has sal,
that in every human soul there is ar
innermost room, and that If we could
discover 1t we should learn secrets
that we never find out when we are
only in the outer courts. This MAY
be too philosophical for you, dea,
girls, but | want you to believe thai
there is something very sweet about
the most unpopular teacher you have
ever had, if you will take pains tc
search for it.

Penelope had in her girlish wisdom
caught the thread OF a clew that had
tangled itself and led far back into
the years during which the unpopular
teacher had occupied her chair. Miss
B. was exceptionally we'll equiIped.
a student painstaking and profound,
the graduate of n college and The
successful prize-winner in post-gradu-
ate work in another, she lacked the
magnetism which in itself makes some
women adorable and adored. In truth,
che was more and more afraid of the
girls she taught; her native difiden2e
and shyness made her seem stiff and
stern; she encrusted herself as diff
dent people often do in a chain-armot
of reserve She recoiled from the
unspoken criticism of the girls who
sat before her, and though she hon.
estly tried she was seldom able to
make them feel that she cared for
them personally. They supposed thai;
in her view they were SO many pegs
IN 4 row or pawns on a chessboar3,
ana they resented the i~mpersonality
OF her near-sighted gaze. Girls are
sometimes very heartless, and instead
Of feeling pitiful when occasionally
they saw a culver of pain cross Miss
BIS countenance, such a token of son :
B%itiveness on her part only made them
dislike her the more. In her endeavor
to be just and to exact the best work
OF which the class vas capable, sh,
often went too far and marked too Sc
verely any failure. II right relations
are not existent between teacher and
scholars 1t Is very difficult for either
to accomplish much. Often it would
be for the benefit of all concerned were
the teacher to be ~transplanted to a
new environment where she could be-
gin unhampered by u%nfriendly tradi-
lions.
II a teacher In the depths of her
own soul is aware that she is no dis
ciplinarian, she probably makes ef-
forts in the direction where she is
weak, and the result is a continual
conflict between her class and herself.
The resistance may not be open, bur
1t is always ready to break out like
a smouldering fire. Nothing on earth
Is harder to vanquish than a preju-
dice. and the less reasonable 1t be the
more stubborn it probably is in main
tanning its ground.

be happy and at ease in her home

According to all accounts, Mrs.
" ronica Marek and Mrs. O%leniccak,
lose houses occupy adjoining lots
divided by a fence, got into a dispute
late in the afternoon over a chicken,
which ended in a quarrel between the
two women. The affair had been en-
tirely dropped between the women,
it is said, when Mr.. Oleniccak return
ed home from his work. His wife,
feeling agitated owe the affair, told
him about it and he Immediately flew
into a rage and, going out OF the
house, is declared to have picked up
a club and started for the gate lead
ing to Mrs. Marek's yard. Mary
Marek, Mrs. Marek's daughter, dis
corning his intentions and fearing he
would kill her mother. according to
the story, ran for the gate and closed
it. holding 1t shut. Oleniccak, 1t is
alleged, becoming more enraged than
ever and, so it is said, struck the girl
a heavy blow on the arm with the
club, nearly breaking 1t and causing
a very painful swelling. But the girl
still, with the thought of e mother
and entirely forgetting herself, held
the gate persistently and Oleniccak
is said to have again raised his cluD
and dealt the girl a brutal blow over
the head, inflicting a deep scalp
wound two inches long and knock
ing the girl senseless on the ground
He then opened the gate, according
to a statement, and rushed inside,
but by this time a crowd had collect
ed and grabbed the club from him
and prevented him from doing furth-
er harm.
Still enraged Oleniccak ran into
his own house, according to witness
es, and grabbed a hammer and an
other club and jumped over the back
fence, rushing for Mrs. Marek again,
but a carpenter, who happened to be
working near, grappled with him ana
he was overpowered.
BY this time Chief Mcdonald, who
had been notified, appeared on the
scene, and arrested Oleniccak anu
took him to the borough hall.
He was given a hearing last night
before Recorder DeGraw and placed
in a cell. He was taken to New

The building has since been re-

agreed upon has been refused by the

Accused of Stealing Hawsers From
RapOa

Accused of Stealing Hawsers From a
Barge.
Captain William Rehor, of the
barge Petrie, was arrested yesterday
afternoon on the charge of stealing
four hawsers from Captain Ulton,
of the barge Collins, while lying at
the same dock in New York, Wcdr
day.
Both men were said to be unde. ne
influence of liquor all day, and Cap
tain Ulton, after sailing, discovered
hat the hawsers were missing and
Immediately suspected Rehor.
Charles O'Donnell, agent OF the
Tracy line, to which the barge Col
Inns belonged, had a warrant sworn
out and placed in the hands of Off
Ger Michael Leonard, who searched
the Petrie and found three of the
ropes.
Rehor was taken before Recorder
DeGraw, and given a hearing yester-
day afternoon.
He said he had bought the ropes
from a junkman Wednesday after
noon before sailing, for a small sum
OF money, but that If they belonged
to the barge Collins, Captain Ulton
could take them.
Agent Charles O'Donnell was not
satisfied with this story, and wanted
Rehor sent to New Brunswick, but
was unable to produce sufficient evil
dence to convince Recorder DeGraw
that Rehor's story was not as good as
Ulton's.
Rehor was given the benefit of the
doubt and discharged.
The stealing of hawsers and other
articles of the rigging gear, from the
vessels lying along the Hudson and
East rivers has become an establish
ed business with many junkmen who
infest the docks, and become a nuis-
ance to captains and ship owners,
and 1t is reasonable to believe that
Rehor had become a subject OF one
Of these thieves.
