These In Mtrunients seem much too flimsy to pro •Ince metallic and far reaching sounds. The sound producing portion of the winpa is unlike the musical iustni menu of man. But the tightened, parchmeut-llke sounding board mid th*' manner in w hich the wings are scraped . together correspond somewliat to a stringed instrument. With tin- crick •■ts proper the wings are raised almost i •<r quite vertically while stridulating I With tlie locusts the sound prodm-ing organa are elevated, so us to permit a scraping motion. Always the musical organs are attached to the fore wings. The hind • wings are used only for flying. Tht , fore wings of the cricket are for tinmost purt taken up by the sound producing. tightly stretched portion. This < part is strongly but openly veined, and i tl.e toothed vein or bow extends en tirely across this horizontal portion »»ear its base. The roughened edge, wi.ere the toothed bow scrapes. is upon the inner margin. The rigid and left fore wings are precisely alike, so that either may be used for the bow or the fiddle.—Chicago News.

Pepsin Syrup Company, Monticello, Ill.: S • Gentlemen -In justice to you, 1 feel it my duty to send an M acknowledgment of the help I have received through the use of H Dr, Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. A few months ago I had frequent H dull aches in my back, my muscles felt acre I had frequent s® headache and my<«ppetite was varying; at times I did not care S| for food for a whole day. The doctor claimed that my liver was M inactive and that this affected my kidneys somewhat; he pre- M scribed for me and I took his medicine for over two months. M Finding that this brought no relief and that I kept getting worse, ■ a lodge friend advised me to try Syrup Pepsin. I used three ■ bottles "nd felt greatly relieved, and after having taken five bottles in all I was completely cured. K ,I am very grateful for my continued health and feel it a daily K blessing, which I appreciate as never before. B f Sincerely yours, HIRAM N. BROOKS. Ei : All DRUGGISTS. 50c AND SI.OO BOTTLES. !

Country people have a great contempt for those who cannot tell what the weather is going to be till they have looked at their expemdve barometers or seen the weather Indications In the morning paper. They have so many simple ways of finding out what they wish to know alx>ut the weather and are so accttstoßied to doing tide that they make the observations alm.a«t me cbanicnlly. Ask one of them how to do this, and he w ill give you a long list of simple weather gauges. For instance. i If you are a smoker look at your cigar i tip. If it burns with a denr. red glow the day will lie fine, but If it has a I charred eml that refuses to burn brightly take your umbrella. If a slipper cr -nks it is sure to be fine; If It |« ! silent it w ill be damp. In damp weather new -papers nre easily torn, gloves ’ contract and nre difficult to put on. I matches will not light easily, silk hats ; lieeome dull, awning tords are tight. ! ixxit laces snap mid a score of Inanimate things tell to the initiated that there is rain to come.—New York Herald. The Bride's Pie. The “wedding cake" of today was formerly called the •'brides pie and in some regions was regarded aa so essential an adjunct to the marriage celelHT-tion that there was no prospect of bappim-ss without it. It was always circular in shape, i-o'ered with a strong crust and garnished with sweetmeats. It was the proper thing f>r the bridegroom to wait on the bride in serving the cake; hence the term •bridegroom.’'
