The 17 year locust has met with a Set-back.
Wheu he makes his appearanee the sparrow and
robin, his natural enemies, take a nice bite out of
him, not a big bite, just enough to kill him, and
pass on to the next one. This discourages the
locust.

Senator Quay was showered with rice by a

and insurgents are now under one roof.
President Schwab, of the United States Steel
CorjKjration, may not be the possessor of a Col
lege diploma, but he knows a thing or two about
the royal road to success. He gave the gradu
ating class of the Pennsylvania State College
something to think alioiit the other day wheu he
said: "lie energetic. Make mistakes if you must,
but keep working. People will respect you for
it. Ai t, and act first. lie interested in your work,
lie assured that success is not won by chance."
The folly of early primaries in Snyder county
wis demonstrated last week at Harrisburg again.
Fully eighty per cent of the republican voters of j
Snyder county were for Klkin. The delegate
was elected four months ago when no one knew
who would be candidates for Governor or what
issues would arise for the state convention.
The sentiment of the people counted for noth
ing and the delegate voted for Peunypacker. We
leave no criticism to make concerning Judge
Pennypacker as he is iu every day entitled to
the support of every it publican voter in the State.
Tho point we wish to make is to show the Stand
ing Committee the folly of early primaries.
Klkin and Watres certainly got gold bricks
for their financial deluge on the heads of the few
iu Snyder county. Later quotations seem to in-
dicats a bull market.

The rights of boroughs to collect from tele
graph companies license fees for the maintenance
of telegraph poles and wires was finally decided
by the supreme court in affirming the judgement
of the superior court. The suits were bought by
the loroiigh of Taylor, in the common pleas court of
Lackawanna county, and the borough of New Hope,
in the pleas common courtof liuckscounty, respec
tively, against the postal Telegraph Cable com
pany, to recover the license fees under ordinances
passed in each borough. The telegraph company
contended that the ordinances were invalid, as
they interfered with interstate commerce, and the

HENRY HARDING,
SCHNEE, PA.
Hack to till-Soil.
Our population is increasing by tre
ttenJmis well, call them Mriiles. Im
migrants are com
ing iu ly scores of
thousa ii d T h e
cities arc congested, as usual, and the
iml iir-t rial centers more than usual.
Prosperity linds places for ull the new
comers, strange as they are to the
Country ami our ways, fur they have
s,tout and willing hands, and we need
such in the ilcvclnpim nt if resources
whose extent is greater than the must
sanguine can guess. .Nearly all of the
newcomers will go to the towns. Hard
ly any will take up land orJiireout as
farmers. The lime is coming when to
feed the enormous populut ions in our
cities will lie a serious prohlem. We
have a forecast of that time already,
in the alleged shortness in the meat
supply, w it h its consequent high prices,
in the necessity of import ing potatoes
from Kurope last winter, in the disap
pearance of fish from many of our riv
ers. And the nation has just begun to
grow. It could set tie its present popu
lace in the state of Massachusetts
alone, though it would have to send to
Vermont for luitter and to Maine for
vegetables. The solution of the prob
lem which is created by this fast in
crease, declares the P.nxiKIyn Eagle
with truth, is in the return to the laud,
and the resumption of farming. And
here is a field for the American. The
newcomcrH are, not a few of them,
farmers themselves, hut they have the
"tfffeR"'' tendency which pertains
to Europeans and that drives them in
herds into the tenements. I '.veil as
farmers their methods are medieval.
As the great shops and factories 1111
it will nunc that many of these Immi
grants will be forced back to the laud,
either as farmers themselves or as
hired men on farms and in dairies.
With the swift increase in towns the
demand for tigric ulttiral and horti
cultural products must, greatly In
crease, and the subdued farmer may
once again rejoice in a prosperity thai
lie Las always deserved, but that has
too long beta deferred that others
wljjbt gain.
"Did yo ever hear of a mouse indi
cator?" asked a prominent official of
the navy department of a Washington
Star reporter the other day. "Xo?
Well, such indicators have been, used
In the navy, nnd in their way they
were very valuable. When the navy
iirst began experimenting with sub
marine boats it became necessary to
devise means to protect the men who
went down into the interior of the
bouts from the strong gases. Finally
a naval officer hit upon the plan of
placing a mouse in a cage, and having
the men who went below keep the
cage close by. We reckoned the
respective strength of man and
mouse, nnd when the escaping gases
had overpowered the little creature,
the men would know it was about
time to ascend.
Illinois has two nicknames. It was
early called "Prairie State," from the
character of its land, which in most
quurterg is a rolling prairie. It was
nicknamed the "Sucker State," from
the fact that early travelers on the,
prairie often suffered great straits
for lack of water. They soon learned
from the Indians how to satisfy their
thirst, for proceeding to a low place inj
the prairie, they would search for
crawfish holes, into which they insert
ed a long straw, and sucked up the wa
ter beneath. Such, at least. Is the story
told and explanation given of the nickname.
A farmer in Pennsylvania has start
ed a crow hatchery, lie expects to
make money from the birds he will
raise by selling their heads to milliners
'fur Ml cents each and their wings for
25 cents a pair. That will make the
value of u crow one dollar. If he is
successful perhaps somebody will try
to cultivate the weevil or the grass
hopper, or some other farm pest for
commercial purposes.
