"Yea, bi.1i," Haiti Undo Znoli, "l'so watched It for forty years an' its I scz: Do fust day of May mi' Christ mas day of tlic same year alien comes on do same week day." Further conversation proved Undo Zich a most Incredulous person. Chancing to mention Dr. Carver's feat of breaking glass balls with a rillc, lie said: "I heerd 'bout dat sliootin' and knowed right off it wasn't sqiinr'i dat was a Yankco trick, boss, aIio'h you born." "What was tho trick t" "l)ar wii7. loadstono put into do glass balls, nu' likouiso onto tho bullets; so when tho bullet tly outcn do gun, it an de ball jes drawed tergedder, which, in course, brokes do glass data do trick 1" Later, Uncle Zach observed a ropo running along tho h'uIo of a oar "Boss, what's dat lino furl'' "To apply tho air-brake in caxo of accident.'' Then wo had further to ex plain how tho forco of tho brako was obtained, to which Undo Zach re sponded: "Look a hero boss, you sholy don't Vpcct mo to b'liovo dat foolishness! Why, do biggest harricano whatever Mowed couldn't stop dis train, runuin' forty mile a hour. An' you think I gwino to b'lcovo a littlo pipe full of wind under tho kyars can do it V No, sah-rcol" Thero aro a threat many Undo Zachs who judge everything simylv by ap pearances. Tho air-brako docs not seem to bo a very powerful thing, but power and ofliciency aro not necessarily equivalent to bigness and pretense. Phillip 15ecrs, Esi., who resides at tho United States Hotel, Now York city, and is engaged in ra'.sing subscrip tions for tho Now York World liar, tholdi pedestal fund, was onco up braided by a distinguished relative who was a physician, for commending in such enthusiastic terms, a remedy that cured him of bright's diseaso eight years ago. IIo said: "Sir, has tho medical profession with all its power and experience of thousands of years, anything that can euro this torriblo dis order V No, no, that is true, thero is no mistake about it but that Warner's safe euro is really a wonderful offectivo preparation. That remedy is an "air brake" that every man can apply and this fact explains why it has saved so many huudrcds of thousands of lives. Copyrighted. Used by permission of American Jlural jomc. The Seventeen-Year Locusts- Tho cicada1, or ''seventcen-yenr lo ousts,1' have appeared in largo numbers at Louisville, Kentucky, and in other districts throughout tho States, and as wo hsyo in former articles said some thing about tho expected arrival of these insects, a few particulars about their life history will doubtless bo in tercsting to many. So far as can be learned these insects should not bo called locusts at all, see ing that they belong to the cicada: or harvest flies. Tho insect under consid eration has the modest name cicada septendecim, or seventeen -year cicada, they havo broad, short bodies, broad heads, largo red eyes on each side of tho head, with thrco eyelets on the crown. Tho wings and their cases aro veined and transparent, tho body is brown, tho legs reddish-brown with no power of springing liko tho ijrassliop pers. Tho male supplies the music from a pair of kettlo drums, ono on each side of tho body just back of the wings. Tho insect has been known in'lhis country sinco 1633, having appeared at regular intervals of seventeen years since that date. Tho soventecn-year cicada docs no groat damage to crops, for his food is taken under ground, and when visible his mind is on lovo intent, not food. Egg-laying Tho process of egg laying is interesting, as tho only dam age done by this insect is when tho fe male lays her egg'. Tho female is provided with an in strument by which she pierces tho limbs of trees, at tho samo timo depos iting her eggs in pairs, in a sort of nest which usually contains from fifteen to twenty eggs. After laying an aggre gate of from four to five hundred eggs in nests mado in different trees, tho fe male becomes exhausted and dies. Frequently tho limb also dies and falls to tho ground, whon tho young hatch out after a month or so, and at onco burrow into tho ground and search for tho rootlets of a tree, whero they anchor themselves for a Boycnteon-year sucking match. Tho treo frequently dies alter a year or two if tho insects aro attached to its roots in largo num bers. In tho course of timo they grow larger, and when their hunger is satis fied, that is to Hay, after seventeen years of continuous teeding, they begin to think of getting up into tho air, for which purposo they mako passages to wards tho earth's surface. Thoy issue from tho earth and usually alight on tho top of a blado of grass or some trecj hero they begin to feel uncomfortable, and after a severe strugglo and con tinued wriggling, crack tho skin and issuo forth a now and perfect insect. "In this state ho remains a week or two, perphaps more, exhausting in this short timo tho strength it required sev enteen years of earnest eating to ob tain." At this stago of life tho cicada is bent on lovo alone, enjoys it for a short season, and starving, dies. Farmer's Jlevieir.

Uesldes a well-stocked farm in North Hergen, Farmer Lockhaus has a very pretty daughter, Amelia, who is just 17 years old. In tho early part of March her father hired Frederick Wagner, giving him $11 a month and his board. IIo was n manly fellow, induslrlrious and economical. On Saturday Amelia asked permission to spend a week with an old schoolmalo at Manhassct, L. I. It was granted, and Tuesday morning bIio stnrtcd out. Her father supplied her with monoy, and sho promised to write. That samo evening Wngner Bald ho was conic to Now lork, and would not bo back until lato in tho evening. Ho did not return, and yes terday Farmer Lockhaus telegraphed to Machasset, inquiring after his daiichtcr, and received a reply Baying that bIio had not been there. Then ho searched her room. A ptally-folded note lay on tho table. It lead thus: Papas I know you will not consent to my marriago with Freddie, but I lovo him dearly and will not givo him up. Wo havo arranged to get married in tho city. Forgive mo for telling you a falsehood, but I have no intention of going to Manhassct. Amelia. That explained It. Farmer Lock haus tried to keep tho matter secret, but during tho day several neighbors called and told him to mako tho best of it. They said that tho plans for tho elopement wore arranged in May, and although thoy know about it, thoy did not wish to spoil tho happiness of the young couple. Even this did not appease tho worthy Farmer Lockhaus. IIo declared that his soti in-law should never darken his doors.

An Accomplished Young Girl Hopes With a Kail road liana, Lock IIavkn, Pa, July 10, During tho construction of tlio Hcoeh Crock, Clearfield and Southwestern Kailroail, a branch of tlio Vaudcibilt system, two Italians worked in a eonsti notion gang at Wayne who were of a better class than tho average, and, being cood scholars in their native tongue, were lesiroiis of exchanging in their knowl edge for a liko accomplishment iu En glish. Living at Wayne was tlio daughter of A. S. Slabley, a well-to-do merchant and postmaster ot tho village. No pains or money had been spared upon tho young la'dy's education, nnd at tho ago of 22 sho was a briulit. pretty girl of many accomplishments. To her the ambitious Italians went and to her a mutual exchange of knowl edge was agreed upon. Tho railroad was lunched and tlio Italians took their leave Miss Stabloy afterwards re ceived letters from one of tho Italians, but this course was not thought irregu lar by her parents and no heed was taken of tho future until last week, when Miss Stabley camo to Lock Ha ven ostensibly to attend the Normal School commencement, but as she did not return that night her father camo hero and on investigation discovered that she bought a ticket at tho Penn sylvania station for Mowaik, N. J,, aud had hor satchel and other baggago which sho had smuggled away from home, ohecked for tho samo placo. Later a letter was recoived by the pa rents telling of their daughter's mar riago to tlio Italian at Newark.
