Musical Insects.

4 carefully trained mind ani ear are indispensable to enable one to de. tect and 10 discriminate readily from the general insect medley any particu- lar species of musician.
 As with birds and their songs, much of the charm and pleasure to be got ten from insect music depends on the emotional coloring associated with iL We are enraptured with the notes of the peepee in spring, or the earlier piping Of the frogs, not because these sounds il themselves possess any in- trinsic sweetness, but because they recall endearing memories of many happy, hopeful springttmes. They are always the harbingers of another yer dant season. Their plaintiye notes add to our minds an emotional warmth and sunshine. The yawaken for us an inner, subjective springJime.
 In a similar way the criekets and katydids gladden. and inspire us with their music in proposition as their notes have become associated in our minds with the emotional coloring of past memories.---Country Life in America.

This k kind of fuugoid growth which attacks certain kernels of the Whent and changes the gluten and starch into n black dust, The dust ad- heres io the good kernels when the grain is thrcshed, greatly lowering iis vaiue.
 All the wheat grown within cer- tain afea of the ''hospital'' is inspected by graiu inspector, who disqnaiiies the diseased wheat and orders 1t ta be sent to the "hospitai' for treatment. Arriving here, the grain is nnloaded from the vans by means of a steam shovel, and then discharged into a scale hopper, where Il Is weighed.
 The eleanest of the smutty wheat is then eleansed by the sid of huge brash- ing machines, and the very dirty. k submitted to washing process, and aittf Afu@ uilfu dftb tithAth Attit AAN brush. The wheat, which is thick with dirt, but which has A pure kernel beneath the coating Gf "smut," Is sometimes secured between pieces Of metal passing through a revolving ms chine.
 Whichever treatment Is chosen for the patient, 1t Is nearly always sue cessfui, and the grain eventually ap- pears as clean ss though 1t had never been contaminated.

Care of Your Umbrella.

soft silk wears the best in an um- brella. A steel frame Is lighter to carry and admits Of a closer roll. When carrying your umbrella on the street not in use, keep it furled; if hanging in your closet keep its case on. In fact. 1t presents a very neat appearance if the case is on when it Is carried. To furl, grasp the stick in the right hand, shake out the folds, wrap them closely around the stick. beginning at the lower end. and smooth as they are wrapped around the stick, then fasten with the silk band on the silk cover.
 When coming in with a wet um- brella, wipe of the handle and fer rule, and furl the silk sections. If the silk gets spot on it. remove it with a silk cloth, warm water and soap. Clean gold or silver handle in warm soapsuds, rub up a wooden ham de with a very slightly oily cloth
