Soma of the katydid,

Katydids belong to the g%rasslopper
family, and sometimes they have been
known to make faint noises in the day
time. but they are never so loud as
those made at night. The queer call
which sounds so very much like the
words katy did" is made by rubbing
the overlapping wing overs against
each other. This noise has been made
with the wings of a dead katydid.
\ katydid's eggs are f%attened, oval
and slate colored and are placed in a
double overlapping row on twigs and
leaves. One katydid will lay as many
as $50 eggs in Il season. Katydid eggs
hatch out the following spring. In the
southern states there are two genera
lions each year. In the northern states
there is Il single brood.

JOINING THE ODD FELLOWS.
A Game In Which You Can Take Any
of the Degrees.

Joining the Odd Fellows is a very
amusing game. First all the girls %
in one room and all the boys in anoth-
or. One boy is chosen as the master
of ceremony and goes in the room with
the girls. One boy is called from the
boys room and blindfolded.
He is asked. "l)o you want to join
the Odd Fellows" He is supposed 10
say Yes" Then he is asked, DO you
want one, two or three dcgrees:" and
he answers according to what he
wants. The next question is, (which
girl do you want to give YOU the de-
yrees:' He then gives the name of
the girl he wishes to initiate him.
The girl approaches, and the master
of ceremony kisses the boy according
to the number of degrees he has taken.
Then another boy is called in. and the
same thing is done. Each boy sees
how he is fooled. AS the other boy
m in the first boy stays in the girls
room. and 30 OH until all the boys are
in the girls room, and only the last
boy does not know he has been fooled.
