Cordon Peet [le Develops For the Lady of His Cholee. In the American Naturalist J. L Hancock gives an interesting descrip tion of of habits of the striped meadow cricket. The most striking part of the account deals with the allurements which the male crickets possess. When he wishes to attract the female the male cricket raises his fore wings vertically above his head and by rubbing them over each other produces a high pitched singing, or, perhaps better, shrilling. When the female's attention has been attracted she goes to the male and proceeds to take advantage of the re freshments offered. Upon the mate's back, situated forward on the thorax, is a little depression or well in which a small quantity of semifinid material is secreted. Cllmbing up on the male's back, the female eats this apparently delicious morsel with great eagerness. It Is evidently something especially cholece which 1s formed there for her especial benefit. This proceeding suggests that treating as a means of winning a lady's love is not confined to the allurements of flee cream and soda water. — Collier's Weekly. some the well England's Newspaper Tax.
