Revcntrcn-Year Locusts Again Due.
NoM siasiiu the seveuteen yenr lo

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

plication. According to Information
sent out from the college the brood
of locusts of 1SS3 will be due next

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

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

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

cost of ench of these dinners rarely

regular ones, those to the Cabinet, the

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 WELL THAT 6INGS.
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.
