She wan a very protul yirl ipiite a stamlotVish wirt of jrirl ami xhe eame on laiartl with a lixcl intention not t Kpeak to anyone. I not i. in I her while we were yet in the iloeli at Tillmry. You ilon't hi I iniliviilii.tls, a rule, for everj'laMly liaikswi like everlaaly else on a first inivtiiifr, espoeially when it is almost (lurk, ainl a crowd of its Heiijrer hanj; alamt the nhip'sside, tak ing their last Iiaik at things ashore, lint I notieitl this laily at the very first. I wan on tleek, pn-pannl to po with the steam.hip Atlanta to New York city. audi saw her alight from the train rme huiitlretl yarils ilistant. I lost her until she teppil upon the tran- way, uinl then I was eoiillnm-tl in my iuires.sioit that she was a remarkaMy hamlsome girl. She came on Umnl like a princes, ami for some minutes ilLsappearetL Pres- eiitlv I felt a Mra n ire sensation. Klie was positively stamlin la.-s'ule me. Th-re was no reason why slie should have preferred any other locality, but t!:e fact that she came anil stood hy the side of me tvrtainly tliviieintl the es traonlinary impn-ssion she had made. Without presuniin-; to stare at her, I not a glimpse ofluT fine profile and d:irk, haughty eyes. Tin- usual stvites wt-re goiu on aUnit us. I ventured a remark foolish and trilling, no dotilit, hut hardly des-rvin the cout-.-mptuotLs silemv witli which it was receiv.sd. The last U-ll soumlisl ; the jranjrway was withdrawn, ami we U-g:in to haul out of dock ; hut still she stotal there and made 0:1 sign. I plucked up spirit, aud asked her if she was point; to America an altsurd ipu-stiou, sti-ing that America was the sole destination of the ship. She turned and looked ut me, said nothing, and walked away. It was a lovely night, and as we drop ped down the river the passengers stood aUiut in grotiin ami enjoyed it. S.-veral sjioke to me and la-came quite s.k iahle. She wits on deck also until 11 o'clock, hut sitting alone, and, so fur as I could tell, making 110 comment upon the mystery of shadows sparkling w it ii lights alloat and ashore w hich the Vessel glided p:ist. I kept at a respectable distance ; but I saw the captain sv-ak to her, ami I'm sure he got smiliU-d fur his audaci ty. So I ut it down to pride. I think she made an exception of the steward ess ; in fact, I'm sure she did later on. There is a winning charm alamt the stewardis to which most ladic yield when a ship gets out to sea. The next morning Miss Kradlcy (for that, as I discovered, afterwards, was her name) ami I met at breakfast. I think all the passengers met at break fast at the lirst breakfast. She was here, anyway, aud fortune seated her at my elbow. I made some progress with Miss Rradley in furnishing her plate. Oh, she was all right at that breakfast. The nest was like glass, and the sweet morning air in the channel was very nppcti.ing. liut the ueighUirly chat with which I tried to garnish the eggs and 1 met 111 met with little encouragement and she committed herself no further than the endorsement of any hope that we should have this sort of thing all the way. Hy "this sort of thing" I meant fri gidity ; I Hit I don't think she took the trouble to analyze my conceptions. All the day she wandered aliout the deck, with her dark eyes they were dark gray in the sunshine surveying the panorama of the cliir-lvltod south ern coast, or sat up 111 a bjufh by the saloon dome, reading a hook under the shadow of the nwning which had been rigged up on the "promenade." The splendid lines of her figure show ed to advantage in a neat gown of homespun. Noone spoke to her, and she spoke to nolaaly. At dinner I got a trifle forward by the aid of baked potato-, but nothing to lantst of. There were several jolly women among the passengers; and particularly jolly they were on the score of the calm sea. Our time in the channel was as good as a picnic, und it seemed as if the prevailing merriment must tantalize Miss Hradlcyoutof her proud reserve. Hut it didn't. The next morning, when the steward called me at for my bath, a breeze had sprung up, ami the ship was lift ing aud rolling in it considerably. The breakfast table was but thinly attended. Miss Hradlcy, however, oiiine in ami took lier place lieside me. Come I thought, she's a good sailor. I'll amuse her with some anecdotes about those who are sick at sea. I supplied her pluteand launched into a funny story. To my dismay, she suddenly arose ami left the table like w ise the sal. am, ramming her handker chief into her mouth, as I assume to prevent the laughter which must un-U-nd her dignity, and break dawn the icy IwrrkT l-tweH us. For five days her pride or some oth er Indisition buried her in the sa cred seclusion of her stateroom. It was toolmd! During those five days we staggered through a lively ensss-sca, which made walking on deck a very awkward business; and I spent most of my time reclining in my comfortable deck-chair. It now occurred to a nunilier of jeis sengers that a deck-chair was the thing of all others which they ought to have brought on Uanl. The wanty atvtnu mtalation of benches was iuadtipiate for those who w anted to He down at erset ESTABLISHED 1827. PA., WEDNESDAY, full length and "sleep it ott;" ami the deck was not only non-sybaritic, Init offered iiidiflcreiit anchorage; those who made their ta-d on the floor expe rienced a constant tendency to slip and slide ami roll as the Atlanta wrestled with the waves. It would not do. Envious glances were east at iny snug chair, which I hail moored in a sheltered corner. Piratical attacks were made upon that chair whenever I ventured to quit it for a moment. If I took a turn to stretch my limbs, or went lielow for a book or an extra rug, I never failed to find on my return some interloping loafer ensconced in my seat aud pretending to ha fast asleep. I st.asl a great deal of this, aud in a no ble transport of self-sacrifice wandered alsut like a lost dog. Hut I wouldn't stand it any longer. And I didn't. I began to evict the intruders; at first, with great delicacy: "Please, excuse me! I fancy you have mistaken your chair." Then with less compunction, I regret that I must disturb you; I'm not feeling very well." And later without tvreiu-jny or rem-ir.se, 'Now, sir, my chair, if you please !" It Mtirj to this, that I got quite "rus ty," and acquired the habit of folding up my chair whenever I left it, affixing thereon a notice: "Thin chair was brought on Ixianl for the owner's use. All others keep away." This manifes to brought upon me a great deal of chair. A petition was got up request ing me to "take the chair" at a meet ing to U- held for the purjawe of de nouncing monopolies. A hand of young fools serenaded me with a chorus of Chair, boys, chair? He'll sleep until I to-morrow !" and there were other at tempts at fun almost as fei-l .If. Tiny kept this up so persistently that, being out of sorts through the rough went Iter, and also on account of the prolonged aWnc of the girl with the dark grey eyes, I became as surly as a l-ar. On the sixth day the sea had gone down a good deal, and the saloon Intii quets were better ratrouizcd. I re turned to the deck aftera capital lunch eon, with one of Clark Russell's stories under my arm ; aud I til lis I my big pipe as I incamlt-reil in the direction of my chair, intending to enjoy myself thoroughly. Imagine my rage when I found the chair alisolutely gone! I rushed up and down the deck until I observed that cvcrvliodv was bursting with laughter. Suddenly, under the lee of the captain's cabin, I came upon Millicent Hradlcy. Her protul gray eyes were dim and lusterlcss, the full, firm contour of the faee was gone, and li'.-r rich complexion had changed to putty-color. The self-reliant mouth sank at the corners, and was partly open, as if she lacked the vital energy to press her pallid lips together. As I btopiKsl before her and stared with astonishment ami distress, she opened her eyelids just another six teenth of an inch, aud murmured in the most die away tone : "Oh, Mr. Franklin, I'm afraid I've g.it your chair. D take it. Pleas., take it !" Of c.iurse I was instantly at her side, imploring her to ke:'p the bli-sscd chair forever, to wear it for my sake not that she showed the slightest disp.ni- I tion to give it up. For three days I waited upon her hand and foot, help-.tl her up and down the eomintuioii stairs, tempted her with iL-licacies, told her funny stories not alt nit sea-sickness recited jt.a.-try to her my own, unpublished ! aud yes, I flirted with her. And she? Oil, it did her g.md brightened her up amazingly. She talked better than a phonograph, and wo were all in all to each other. The doctor was a bit of a nuisance, p:v-a:n-ing upon his nK-ilic-.il privileges, you understand, and the captain p.-stcred u-t; but I got my grip, as we used to say when I rowed in the college eight, and I pulled right through, giving them my "wash" all the time. And v wo drew nearer t t Sandy Hitok ; ami although I had to sit up u a camp stool while I watched over her in my lawful capacity of landlord of the deck-chair. I never enjoyed er.ts-t-ing so m-Jcli in my life, an-1 I've b:Mi over the Atlantic ab.tat 2)tiiii'so!i busi ness. Hat w ithin a day's sail of New York a disaster fell upon the ship, s.t terrify- in so lurid, so indescriliably horrible that you will think in.1 inciinistent in declaring that it increas'.l my happi ness a hundredfold aud gave in.' in 011 hideous mnm.-nt all the concent rated Joy of a lifetime. It had come on to blow again. A g.vnt bank of bubbling purple clouds hi l arisen in the northwest as the night clo-i.sl in ; and while I was helping Miss Hradlcy down the eompanionway driven from the deck by the ugly, threatening aspect of the sky, a blast of wind struck the msssjI, kj.-lin? herover with a suddenness that fore.il liu t ) ling with all my might to t'.i? b mis ter, and Mis. Bradley with all hers to my neck. For nearly a minute my chin rep:x".l against tJu tip of her head, but that ecstasy was vouchsafed to me no longer. As the ship righted Millicent parted from nu-, sprang down the few rem lining stairs, grabh.'.l at a hand-rail and whisked away t'.t Ikt cabin satis adieux. I struggled baek to the deck for the rug-t and cushions, and fun 1 tru ves sel envelope! in a fariou-i st inn. Al ready it was dark, and th Atlanta wan plunging like a restive h'trs.', ths sea C Mtiing in floods over the bulwarks aud the wind tearing and shrieking among the cordage and blustering against the big roaring funncL The rain came down in slanting sheets of water, ami the sailor were shouting to each other and warning the passengers who had delayed getting below. I ltst one of iny rugs, and how I saved my life I can hardly telL -My d.-ck chair I left strappil to its m'toriugs, and took refuge in the sm ike-r.atni with half a lozen other whitc-faivd fellows. With the greatest difficulty we got to our staterooms, aud I clamlvreil into my tort It, simply shedding my top coat on the floor and kicking oil my sopping shoes. I lay on my luck with my elliows, wedged against the sides of the bunk, to prevent myself ln-ing pitch ed out by the violent rolling of the ship, and listened to the smashing of glass and crockery, the crash of hat Imxes, bags ami other unsecured trifles, which were flying about like pipn in a dice- JTJXE 27, 1894. box, and to the shuddering w hirl of the screw as the wat-r dropp'l away from our sl-rn, and left th-" griat flanges to beat the air. The steward came and put the lights out, a red-tape proceed ing which added to the awfulness of things in general. Then I U-gan to get Insufferably warm. It was summer time, aud with Krtholes dosed, the at mosphere Ih-Iow deck was always stuffy, but never ln-fore had I felt such an op pression. I concluded that we had got into the gulf stream, .or something of tliat sort, and they had dosed ail the ventilators for the sake of keeping the boat water-tight. I hud to lie there in a bath of perspi ration, for I could not get relief by tak ing oil" my clothes. To un wedge my self in order to make the attempt would have resulbil in my rolling out ou the flitor, where my shoes and a watter Isittle, and a careless companion's razor case were having a perfect frolic togeth er. I grew parched with thirst. Every moment the air became more uubreath able. Ten minutes more, and I ga.-ed aloud : "I must get out of this, or die!" I flung myself down, taking my clianee of the razors, and groped out of the door. A stifling fog hung in the saloon. The dim light of a swinging lantern si lowed it to me. Peering alaiut me with almost blinded eyes, I perceived that from every stateroom abutting on the sal. am one or more assengers had crept out like myself, ami were stand ing ut each opening like sjicct res hold ing ou desja-mtely to anything. The saloon seemed to la doing its Ix-st to subvert itself. At times the lhair was almost jierjtcndicular. Now I was ly ing flat iiaii the outer wall of my calt- in;the next instant I was hanging from the rail that ran Itdiiml it, as if I were a trapeze performer. All altout there was a ianilcmoniuiii of tumbling things. Tlie sin thundered against the vessel fearfully, and again and again there was that horrible shudder of the screw. Near me clung an old gentleman in light attire. "A nice thing this!" he la-Howcd in my ear. To save discus sion, I agreed with him that it was very nice indeed. Across the room was the cabin dedi cated to Miss Hradlcy. I detected a ghostly figure there, ami made my way over, holding fast to the chairs and the table. Yes, it was she, white as the dressing gown that swathed her grace ful figure. She grastH-d my hand. IJer dark eyes g;izcd into my face with a terrible expression. "Thank (Jod, you have come to me !' she cried with passionate earnestness. We had grown very giatd friends during those few blissful days of her convalesivntv, but only by maintain ing a rigid harrier of the liutst respect ful ceremony. How I blessed the ac commodating tema-st which made her sjK-ak to me like that ! I kept her hand in mineau-.I brought my face close to hers I hail to do this to make my consolation intelligible, there was such a racket ! "It'sall right V I shouted. "Only a gale of w ind. Hit of sea on. You're quite right to turn out if you feel nervous." She shook her head. "Oh, the storm is nothing !" she replied. "Nothing at all !" I assented seoffing ly, as if I had la-en used to "high seas and howling winds" from infancy. Hut in my heart I did not agree with her. She must surely to jesting making light of it in panic-stricken bravado, else why was she so unmistakably over mastered by fear? Her face was set like marble ; her eyes glar.il to the right ami left ; her la-autifully chiselled nostrils suiticd the down draught from the engine-room. As we sttxal there ill the duskiness, clinging to the side of the cabin and to each other, she asked, "Are you sure there is nothing wrong with the ship nothing ?" Her tone was so changed that I star ed at her for a mun.-nt through the smother to fore asking the counter question : "What should there to ?" "What is this smoke?" she whisper ed hoarsely in my car. H;-fore I could answer, there was a conhustion ah.tve as if the very heavens had fallen up in the ship, and we were both dash ed otfour feet. I fell witii my hand uihiii some metal work which the car pet did not cover. It was s-t hot it a! m tst blistered me. I quickly scram bled up, and lilting the aim tst fainting girl in both my arms, staggcr.-d with her to a cushioned 110.1k dose by. As I did so then? cam.- a rush ofwat r into the saloon, sweeping over the floor in waves as the osciliation of the vessel flung it from one side to the other. Ami as the fln.1 1 receded to muss itself in another quarter, a cloud of steam arose, adding to the dctiscuess of the prevail ing gloom. The last shock had evoked a wail of alarm from the surrouudingcabius, ami the saloon became crowded with people rushing out of their tl-tors. Hut when they found the floor surging w ith water anil that white vapor floating upward, tliere was a perfect shriek of dismay": "The boilers have burst ! the boilers !" Suppttsing the water to toscalding, I instinctly placed Millicent Hradlcy at full length upon the couch. There was no time to save myself, and I let out an unmanly yell as the wave lapped me right up to the knee. It seem-.il to bite the flesh from my lames. I van stand pain I used to play footliall in Eng land. But you just put your stx-king-ed feet into toiling water and try that ! In ajifly I was perched upon the top of a small table, and clapp.il my hand to my injured extremities ; but, strange to say, I was not scalded at all. The water was cohL Others found this out simultaneously. And yet the steam was rising. The meaning of it flashed ujaui Milli cent first of all or perhaps this phe nomenon only confirmed a fear ; ' Jod help us !" she crioL "The vessel is ou fire !" The word flew like lightning. All rushed pell nu ll out of the saloon and up the stairs to the .In k. "Save me, Horace V gasped Milli cent in that moment she called meby that name "Save me, Horace for the love of heaven T I caught her to my breast like a child he was a very full-grown wo man, and must have weighed 11 stone I kissed her check, her eyes her lips, and nho uever murmured. I utisKle Herald with unswerving steps to the conipan ioiiway with that lovely burden sort aud supple in my anus. I sprang up the stairs with a e nriil-iuv Iliad not possessed in the calmest of weather, aud presently stood with her oil deck, the wind tearing at us like a legion of devils, and the rushing massesof water dashing over us from head to f.ait. It would have liecn t-t much for me ex posed to the full force of it, had not a handy sailor coiled a ropealsuit us, and hitched us up securely. He bund us heart to heart, and I stood with her so through the flying hours that dragged so tediously with most people. There and theii and thus I told my love to her and she listemil to me. She made me swear that if the ship's company had to take to the toats, I would go with her. If that could not to, she begged me let her stay and drown with me. Oh, what a glorious time that was with the storm touting me almost seiis less, the ship a furnace toncath my feet, the utter hopelessness of touts liv ing in such a sea, should the lire break through the liattened-downcd hatches ami drive us from the vessel !

We steamed into Sandv lhaik. Thcv steered the totter ed hulk of the Atlanta into the grand harlair of New York under as giaally a sun as ever smiled on lovers. Millicent Hradlcy once again stood by my side and spoke 110 w ord. Her dark eyes surveyed the shore and took stock of the monster excursion steam ers, the statue of Litorty and the Brok lyn bride, but she made no comment. She had not referred to that sweet night of terrors since I found her standing on the prouuilade deck neatly dressed for going ashore. We passed the Battery ami drew near to the coui)any's landing stage. Pres ently we were U-ing hauled into the dock. In five minutes the gangways would to run up and we should have to go ashore. And up to this time al though I had told her all atout myself, my family, iny pi;ion and my pros ccts in life, all unimpeachable, she hal not 0 .11 tides I to me any of her own affairs not even her destination. Hut now she turned to me and looked me squarely in the eye. "You were very kind to me last night, Mr. Frank lin," she said, in tones that I fancied t rem 1 iled a little. "Mister?" I stammered, aghast at her coldness. ''I am very grateful I shall always to-. Don't think badly of me for being o weak and foolish.

Hut slie went on firmly; "Of course we mast not take seriously anything which circumstances so exceptional so very, very dreadful, indeed we must not bind ourselves by what such circumstances forced upon us. We will say 'giaslby' now ; and and if if we never meet again " "Millicent !" I cried, catching toth her hands quite heedless of onlookers "don't coquet with me after what wo have toth gone through?

The authorities of the Auricultura! lK'artmeut arc anxiously awaiting the full -tress of the cicada or locust plague breaking out all over tin country. The destructive insects are already hum ming a dirge to the Smthcni fanners' plant trees' and In-fore this month is ever, will have started their plunder in the Non hand West. The present will to an uncommonly severe Wust year. toing the advent of toth the seventecn ycar, or Northern, and the thirteen- year, or Siut hern, br.aals which ap- tea red last in 1"77 and Kil respective ly. The fliaxls in the West and the untimely cold weather in the East have tended to defer the tinning of their buzzing armies but in almost all of the States they are toginningto fonn their lines for battle and the c hi 11 try people apprehend the toginning of the sieire. The year Isjk, when two other great broods from the North ami the South came together, was said to to- the most notable locust season since 1'47 and the lug prophets have fixed the next equal ly severe itulbreak a late a :51s.'.', hut they agree that ls4 will not to far ! hind in its record of the mischief ex pected. All of the places overrun w ith these two unities in ls77 and lssl will to' alive with their songs in a week or so, since all along the route of their Iat invasion they planted their egg in the branches of the trees. The govern mciitcntomologist's reports of the lia-Ust'.s ileprei kit ions during those seasons are usi a horosn-ia-s in w hich to read this year's probabilities. Acwrdingly, the seven teen-year brood will invade the whole northern par: of the country, especially in certain sections li-ginning in the vicinity of Schuylcrville and Fort Miller, N. Y., along toth siil.- of the Hudson, extend ing into Connecticut, across New Jer--ey into Pennsylvania, striking In diana, Michigan, Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia ami North and Smith Carlina. The records of lsji;, ls4 !, lsiiil, and especially of ls77, are abundant in correspomlc nv and news-paK-r articles stating the severity of the plague in all of these localities, and old farmers can remcmia-r their trials in these years. The dividing line K tween the two armies is alamt latitude .is degrees, except in Illinois where it takes a turn north, including that State in the territory which the thirteen-year brood will visit. Southern Illinois Missouri, Iouisiana, Arkansas, Indian Territory, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alalia ma, t ieorgia. North and South Carolina and Texas will all feel the southern briasl severely, amirdtng to the prophet. That thi is the largest thirtecti-yearbrotd is known from the ; numerous l.s-iliti.-s iif which it was observed in lsr.Sand at previous seasons while its apja-iramv in ls.il was equal ly recorded. The repirts show that it is thicker than a'.l of tin- other uinctii'ii broods in the locust family put together. In Pciinyslvania the northern brood has done its share of mischief, Imt seventeeu-years ago its ravages were iptt nearly so severe as in ls'.H). Both of these year saw multitudes of them in Pike ami oth.-r counties extending from the Susquehanna to the IX-laware, in a territory toumlcd by Peter Moun tain on the south. Ill New Jersey many pint. i:i Hudson, Bergen, Essex and Middlesex 11 untie sulf-red es-H--;a!ly, while they were seen also in other parts of the State, exivpt in Cam dell county, which sivmed to to the only one which escap.iL New York city's sulnirlis Br.aklyn and Jersey City also rank high in the scale of destruction. ProA-ssor Howard, head of the ciitoiuologii-d branch of the Agricul tural Department says : "The cijila, cumin ml y called the lis-ast, is the victim of much false re port. In fact, the cicaikt appearing this year is no more a In u-t than a bison is a buffalo. There is a gras.-.hot-H-r in this country strangely similar to the locust of the Fast, and this is in variably confused with our American broods of eicada. Thse grashopN-rs, which may rightly to- called locusts, create great destruction, devouring the leaves of plants while thecicatkt's only mischief is done w hen they deposit their egg. The cicaikt is of iK-riialictil growth, while the grass! lopjier lia-iists hatch out every spring, although, by accident, they get together sometimes in great armies and commit plunder, cspii-ially in foreign countries." Many people hearing of the coming invasion wiil have in mind description of the famous locusts of the Orient, which resemble the American grasshopiter or the harvest-fly. These insects are found in Western Asia, Northern Africa and S ait hem Furope. They strip all plants of their green growth and travel in such tremendous lands that they have la-en known to darken the sky by their cloud and to stop the flow of rivers by damming them up in their low flights. H;i! the ja-riialii-al cicada of Amerii-a, it sii-ms is a distinct snecies which has continued to apa-nr in its allotted sea son since long la-fore Columbus ever thought of the Western Continent. Tlx-rc is no memU-r of the lower ani mal kiug.ioin more interesting to stu.ly t han these two sjafies appearing this year, after having lived umicrgotmd for the lat thirteen or seventeen years. Between the two annics tin-re is no siiecilic difference displayed by the individual insect. 15ot!i are divided into two distinct races one large and the other smalL The larger of bpnnls which are exactly alike, measure one ami a half inches from tlie end of head to the tip of dosed wing and three inches over the full expanse of wings the under siile of the laaly is orangc hrou n in eolor, the male alone la-hi f edited with the same on his tock. Tlie smaller of lth 1 maids are alamt twit thirds the full size, resembling the larger in every respect except that they have no color. Tliese two subdivisions of the same family have common habits, .ravel together, eat the name food and lay their eggs in the sam-e Inis, which, has given rise to tiie ignorant belief of many that the large ones are malts and the smaller their mates. The singing is all done by the male, which grattss bis rough legs over two souoriMts drums under his wings. As is the case ill many other iiiMi't families, he make hi apivaraiice several days in advamt l his m ite : o in the lal'i r iart of the s imin -r vt h--:i ihe w l- abound w it? finales hi- sun.; hut il-l m h.-ur.l. Beginning w ith the laviiig of the mother's ,:.-, the evolution of the cicada 1 thought t-t to' one of the raritie-of nature, and eittomologi-t agree that there is no other iuscct so complex in its development. It life is dividul into three stages, two of which are spent in the open air, and the third under ground. In the latter part of the summer the female lays her small white eggs in the sappy branches) of any tree which has the misfortune, to grow In her wth. After toing n.turished but six weeks by the sap the eggs hatch and the active little inserts cover the branches. Hut finally there comes a time w hen the tow la nds ami the tobies all fall otf, blown by a stray zephyr, sailing likeso many little feath ers to the ground. Then they burrow deep into the earth and there remain, eating the juiivs of the treenails for thirteen or eventn-n years. In this underground state they have no wings, ii-r d-aes the toautiful shining skin apja-ar until they mine out into the sunlight. Ihiring the latter years of their dark liv they gradually work nearer and nearer to the surfatv, until at last a glimp-s- is had of the tipjicr world, when, that the digging may continue in darkness little towers of dirt, resembling inverted icicles, alamt four inches high, are thrown up ahead of them. After laii.ming u.-setl to the light which shines into tliese hollow towers through a peep hole bored into tiie side, the males get in the lead, and when they have all plucktil up courage the line lainmes reincarnated. Then a sum as the first sun i set on their new ly-summoncd hordes tot ween and 9 o'clock, they attach thems-lveJ generally to the same tree, w hich they have not seen for so many years, and strip off their old digging clothes leav ing the tran.siirent shells so often seen dinging to the bark. Then wings are suddenly grown, and tofore an hour the new white skin receives its tints and tlie aerial journey is commciitvd. Tints the old family tree, if it tliasi H,,t die out in the first generation, is un-d over and over again, devoured from underneath for a long peri. x I ami used a a cradle and nursery during tlie hatching season. Because of its iai-uliar habit the lis-ust, or cicada, has provokul much sua-rs(ition. The ancient Hebrews and other Oriental nations call. si its bands the avenging armies of the deitv, and the Arals of to-day find a statement to thatett'ect written in thecrosi-veins of the wings. The American fanner also fimLs the letter W 011 each w ing and say it forewarns the coming of war, but, as the agricultural reja.rts say, "warm wi-ather" is the Ix-st interpreta tion. There has Ui-n much argument mining naturalists a to whether tiie cicada ha power of stinging generally attributed to it. The long bill through which it sucks the juices of tnvs con tains no poisonous glands, mo it is thought that most of the injury for which it is blamed is done by wasps, which prey mam it and which may often to seen holding fast to its Ixaly in flight. Professor Riley, curator of the department of insect in the Nation al Museum, Washington, discourage the ide-a that the cicada Is at all pugnac ious. He says he has handled hun dreds toth m iles and females and ha known children to play with them, with. Hit experiencing any unpleasant result. Tills same scientist ha also experimented with frying their bodies ill oil after detaching the leg and wings, in vogue with the time-honored custom of the East, where wild In-ust and honey were considered fit final for the g-al. But the American broods are not found to to particularly relish.-tble, althiHigh in Arabia the lis-ust is consid ered the statTof life, toing pHinded in tt flour fur making bread, while throughout the East the habit of eating them Ls carrinl s-t fa a to warrant the m 'reliant' selling them by measure. Although the cicada puncture. the r-t t of tre while it 'riving it nourlsh 111 -nt during it. underground stag", it rarely pr nluev serious mischief, on ac count of its slow development and limit si eajuicity for f.aal. The female in full growth dia-s all of the injury la mented by the farmer when she ho ks the twig and poison the sap in laying her eggs. She plow the tender bark in long furrows pecking it with four hook, which she work like two pair of nipa-r.. From letters w hich farm er have sent to the Secretary of Agri culture in back lis-ust year it apia-nr that nothing ha ever proven a remedy for the evil. Lye, whitewash, sulphur, carb tlie acid and a hundred other chemical have all been tr'nil in vain. Tlie only rem -dy which the Agricultur al I)ear;mi-ut suggests i in the form of an ounce of preventive. Tiie farm -r should turn all of hi h g and poultry into his orchards that tlu-y will devour the young w ingle iuscct as fast a they c ime out of the ground. Hut one old farmer writes that even a hog was known to die from over-eating them, there beiu; h j'i lredsc imingout of the ground at a tint . C'.iicti -a have also been kn iw.i tt p i t;i their eggs by over-induigcnce. Anthsn7 The Wanlerei.
