II. Illll, lu Xew Kiiglanil Homestead. Revcntrcn-Year Locusts Again Due. NoM siasiiu the seveuteen yenr lo custs will bo due, nud some Instruc tions regarding the course to pursue will now bo timely. The Pennsylva nia Htnto College Issued n report re garding these locusts. In ISH'l, while Xew Jersey mid Ohio have nlso Issued bulletins. The IVim sylvan In Ktato College has also Issued n recent bulle tin, which Is sent free to all upon ap plication. According to Information sent out from the college the brood of locusts of 1SS3 will be due next season In the counties of Bedford, Fulton. Huntingdon, Ml 111 In, Junlalii, Perry, Franklin, Adams, Cumberland, York, Dauphin, Lebanon, Lancaster, llerks, Chester, Delaware, Ituiks, Montgomery, Lehigh mid Northamp ton. The dentins or seveutoen-yenr locusts, may not appear over the whole of (ho section Hunt lolled, but may be ixpeetcd wherever the conditions heretofore have been favorable for their brooding nud development. The best breeding places are the brush covered and woody pasture hinds. In asmuch as seventeen yeors Is liable to make u good deal of difference lu the utilization of laud, it Is ipiile prob able Unit In some places lands which seventeen years ago were not In culti vation, and were good breeding grounds of cicadas, are now cultivated, and upon them mid In their neighbor hood the Insects, true to their nnliiro, may bo expected to appear, nud per haps iu dangerously large numbers. In many places tlio older resideuts tiro able to locale such grounds. If young fruit trees or shrubs nre mi land subject to the appearance of the cicadas, there will be liability next year of serious injury mid mutilation by the egg-laying process, ns the habit of the cicada Is to select small twigs Into which it proceeds to cut iu order (o make suitable places for Its eggs. Those who contemplate setting out young trees should, therefore, bo on re fill to learn If they nro on or near 'locust ground" of seventeen years ago, nud If they find that thero Is risk should defer plaulkig until the danger has passed. The cicada lnys Its eggs during Juno, but may begin to lay a little earlier In tlio Southern counties than in the Northern tier; hence by July 1, nt the latest the egg-lnylng will have licon completed mid ull injury accom plished. Miould It bo considered not too great a risk to set out trees It would bo well not to prune the trees closely on setting, postponing such work until July. The pruning may then lie doue. mid the twigs burned that nre removed, so ns to destroy the eggs. As the dentin puts In its ap pearance nt regular seasons all prep arations to meet It can be made in advance. The Insects tuny appear lu reduced numbers, or may have been exterminated lu some localities, but should It fall next year it will be the first time In 1ST years. There Is ulso a thirteen-yeor locust, but it is a different insect in character istics from the other, appearing most ly lu the South. The eggs of the seventeen-year locusts nre deposited In grooves of the twigs nud hutch iu nbout six weeks. After being batched from the eggs the young locusts full to the ground nud burrow In the earth, going down to from three to twenty feet, where they remain and feed upon the roots of trees or pluuts. While In the earth they shed their skins several times, mid nt the proper time tunnel upward, ascend the trees, ngnin shed their skins, and nre then ready for the work of propagation. They begin to ntceiid about June 1, a llttlu earlier sometimes, nud nfter sunset. They do not cause as much damage as may be supposed, consid ering th&ir grent number, but, never theless, do KUltlcieiit injury to cause them to be unwelcome vjsltors. Any effort at destruction of the insects would be almost of no avail, ns such work would be laborious. The best course to pursue Is to endeavor to avoid I iieai as much as possible by retVniuliig from setting out young trees, as slated, mid leaving tlio prim ing of nuy trees that nir.y already have been set out until the 1st of July. As tliey will not agnlu appear until 11)10, they nre nut really us harmful ua some of the more injurious pests that an nually Inflict farmers mid fruit grow ers.

The orlglnnl kitchen, which was used ns Mich from the I line tlint Mine. Abigail Adams wns Its mistress until Mrs. Lin coln's regime, was lu the central part of the basement. In what Is now the engine room. The grout llreplnoos, brick ovens and lionting crannies nro sllll (here, but the room Is just under tlio shadow of the wide front porch, mid must have been a dark plneo fur work nt lis best. That was probably tlio reason why Mrs. Lincoln lind It chnugcrt to Its present sunny corner. When Mrs. Harrison enino In she found It n very different place from what It Is now. The floor was (hen sunken and broken, l hero was wooden wnlsooling, nml nil (he woodwork was Infested with (lint bane of Iho Wash ington housekeeper, loaches. The rats mid mice had literally taken possession and for it while It seemed that they wore going to retain It In spite nf all that she could do. She Irlod every ex terminator In vain, nud then she gave the entire basement n general renova tion. In the kitchens mid laundries the sunken floors were taken up nnil the remnants of the decomposed wood en plunks, with enrt loads of lllthy dirt, were removed. When a solid foundation of Potomac clay wns reached she had the present firm co incut floors put In. All of the wood work wns torn out, and the clean white tiling which now ninkos those rooms so bright wns substituted. This did away with the rut nud mice mils mice, but it was not until Colonel Itlnghmu, the present ellleleiit super inleiident of public buildings mid grounds, put In his perfect sanitary system of plumbing tlint thoy were nlilo to cope with the roneh pest. There nro two kitcheus, n sniiill one to the west nml the inn 111 one lending out of It, which Is nbout forty feet long by twonty-llve foot wide. Hot Ii rooms have the cement floors, while the wnlls nre walnseolted to (ho height of six or eight foot with white tiles. These rooms nre supplied wilh every modern kitchen appliance. Over on the south side of the large room Is n grent hood oil range covering almost (ho entire wall and provided with tiiiinberless baking mid warming ovens. In tin centre of tlio room Is n long deal table nnd suspended from the celling direct ly over It Is n mamniotli circular swing on which nro hanging the cooking utensils, brass kettles nml paus shill ing like burnished glass. Over on the north side of the room are two closets reaching from coiling (o floor. Their upper parts are shelved and tilled with tinware nnd crockery, while the lower Is divided Into (lour, meal and cereal bins, with other compartmeiilH for sti gar, salt, spices, etc. Over to the south side nro the sinks nnd nppliiiui'CH for illshwnshlug, wlillo on tlio north, un derneath the big windows wi!'; (heir groiiud-glass panes, are the side tnlilos. In the northeast corner of I lie family kitchen, which Is furnished on u small er senle lu the same mnniier us Die larger one. Is tlio dumbwaiter, where the food for the illning-room Is sent up to the butler's pantry. As may be Imagined, It Is something of nn undertaking to prepare all of the viands iu these kitchens for the stale dinners which nre given ench winter In the Kxccutlve Mansion, but that It Is done iu so faultless a manner reflects credit upon those who manage It. The state dining-room Is n stately, spacious npurtnicut, but it can only sent forty persons, nnd Is now too small for the number of guests who must be enter tained nt these oltlclul functions. For that reason during the past three years the tnbles for these dinners have been laid In the long Tiffany corridors an expediency which should make us re nllze the uoeesslty of n larger dwelling house for the President of this grent nntlou. On a night of a state dinner the en tire floor of tlio mnusiou Is turned Into a fairyland of beauty. Every nook corner and available space Is tilled with palms, tropical plants, cut flowers aud patriotic decorations. Chains of vnrl colored electric lights nre swung across tlio celling, over the mirrors, and fro quently outline the floral designs. The tablo is as handsome a3 rare buds nnd blossoms, cut glass, priceless china silver nud line nnpery can make It. The dinner usually comprises from six to eight courses, nml Is nbout two hours In being served. Thu White House cook, who Is a callable, middle aged UerinHn woman, bearing the given name of Anne, prepares ull the food, with Iho uid of her two assist ants. On the night of the dinner iho dishwashers nre reinforced by the three laundry women, ns, despite the tales which occasionally go the rouiiiU of tlio newspapers of the fabulous amount of plnte iu the Kxccutlve Man sion, tlio limbed number of spoons, knives mid forks makes It necessary to wash thosu which are used lu one course to supply the next. The Avail ers on tlieso occasions are hired from tlio establishment of one of the up town caterers, us tlio regular White House force of servuuiH Is not large euough of Itself. These dinners nre, of course, official affairs, aud are gfrcn by tlio President as a pnrt of his otllclul duties. Iu con sequence of this fact it would seem naturally to follow that tlio (iovern meat would pay for them, but such is not the case. With the exception of the music and flowers tlio entire ex penie la borne by the President. The cost of ench of these dinners rarely fnlls below $:W, nud ns there nro three regular ones, those to the Cabinet, the Runremo Court nnd tne Diplomatic Corps, besides the lesser ones which constantly hnve to be given In the honor of distinguished people whose duties bring them to the cnpllnl, nnd whose positions make It Incumbent on the President to show Ihein this atten tion, II can easily bo computed what a drain these eiiterlalntneiits nre on Iho executive snlnry.

The of Syrup of Figs is due to its pleasant form and perfect freedom from every objectionable quality or substance and to the fact that it acts gently nnd tru!y as a laxative, without ia any way disturbing the natural functions. The iccjuisite knowledge of what a laxative should be and of the best means for its production enable the California Fig Syrup Co. to supply the general demand for a laxative, simple and wholesome in its nature and truly beneficial in its effects; n laxative which acts pleasantly and leaves the internal organs in a naturally healthy condition and which does not weaken them. To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value and Syrup of Figs possesses this great advantage over all other remedies, that it does not weaken the organs on which it acts and therefore it promotes a healthful con dition of the bowels and assists one in forming regular habits. Among its many excellent qualities rany be mentioned its perfect safety, in all cases requiring a laxative, even for the babe, or its mother, the maiden, or the wife, the invalid, or the robust man. Syrup of Figs is well known to be a combination of the laxative principles of plants, which net most beneficially, with pleasant nromntic liquids and the juice of figs, agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system, when its gentle cleansing is desired. The quality of Syrup of Figs is due not only to the excellence of the combination, but also to the. original method of manufacture which ensures perfect purity and uniformity of product and it is therefore all important, in buying, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the frout of every package.

A Texas Spring That Hat an Aeolian Harp Accompaniment. A singing well Is one of the natural curiosities of Texas. In fine weather a sounding like that or an Aeolian harp is given out by the well. At times tho sound Is dear: then It recedes, as If far away, and then It roaches the ear very faintly. These changes take place every rew minutes, and with great regularity. With an east wind blowing the water In the well gets very low, and the mysterious sound Is faint. A strong west wind causes the water to rise and the sound to Increase in volume and clearness, ilefore a north wind the well plays Its wildest pranks. The water rises near ly to the top of the well, which Is about 60 feet deep, and gives out wild, weird noises. Moth er "My mother was troubled with consumption for many years.
