TALK OF THE DAY. Grasshoppers are generally looked upon as au unmitigated nuisance, but Jas. Lwlgate, a farmer, of Lee. thinks he can turn them Into a source of handsome profit. He collected last summer 75.000 of them to be sold to sportsmen as bait for trout next season when the finny tribe are plentiful and the 'hoppers scarce.

As fast an the insects were captured they were placed in a corn crib, which had been made airtight by pasting paper over the cracks. The crib was then filled with hay and banked with leaves to keep It warm within. ThuH far thiH winter the grasshoppers have stood the cold, and Ludgate sees no reason why "he should lose more than 10 per cent, by spring If he can Ret i two cents each for the 'hoppers he will make about $1,200. The Kansas City Journal propounds this puzzle: Take the number of your llvlm? brothers, double the amount, add to It 3. multiply by 5.

add to It tho nurn ber of your living sisters, multiply the result by 10, add the number of deaths of brothers and subtract 150 from the result. The right figure will be the num bf of deaths, the middle will be the number of living sisters, and the left will show the number of living brothers. Try It and see.

At 8 o'clock this evening Manager Henry B. Harris will offer at the Academy "The Lion and the Mouse." The author is Charles Klein, who is also responsible for "The Music Master" and other surceases. In "The Lion and the Mouse" Mr. Klein deals with one of the widely discussedd topics of the hour the influence wielded, in American politics by money. The dominant personage in the play is John Burkett Hyder, the acknowledged leader in the financial world, in which he is known "Ready Money Rider.

The coterie of moneyed magnates of which he Is the head has been halted in its career by an adverse decision rendered by Judge Rossmore, a man of stern probity in the administration of the office to wmcn tne people nave elected him. In retaliation Ryder and his friends, secure, with the aid of corrupt politicians, Judge Rossmore's temporary suspension from the bench be cause of alleged fraudulent practices. His daughter, Shirley, summoned home from Europe, returns to find her father dishonored, bankrupt ana nroKen in health. Shirley alone is in possession of the proof of her father's innocence an4 she determines to secure it irom mm. Through an ingeniously plausible chain of circumstances she becomes member of the Ryder household, win ning tho affection of the family ana oncoming almost invaluable as a friend and advlner to Ryder.

She has conceal ed her Identity under the name of Shirley Green. Her secret is known only to Jefferson Ryder, the son of the money king. Jefferson has fallen in love with Shirley, whom he met on the voyage from Europe. He is in sympathy with her purpose even though Its consummation means the defeat of his father. The struggle between the "lion" and the "mouse is rapidly approaching a.

climax when the love story of Jefferson and Shirley suddenly assumes a vital issue in the situation that is strikingly but logically dramatic. Mr. Klein has brought about the hanoiness of Shirley romance and her triumph without straining at the possibilities but with a nneiy commena able logic. A GERMAN COMEDY. The German speaking citizens of Reading will be given a rare treat Wednesday evening, when the play.

Hans Huckebein, in the original Ger man, will be produced in the Academy of Music by the company now present ing It at the German Theatre, Philadelphia.

The play is the creation of Oscar Blu menthal and Gustav Kadelburg, twr German dramatists and critics of high standing in Berlin. Germany, where they have their own theatre.

While these trentlemen have written other suc cessful plays, "Hans Huckebein" stands easily as their masterpiece and ranks with the best American comedies. There is not a dull moment in the play and the various and ludicrous mishaps the well meaning but unfortune German are brought out in the most laughable manner. The sale of seats has surpass ed the most sanguine expectations of the German American Alliance, under whose auspices the play will be given Tickets sold by the members may be exchanged for reserved seats on and after 9 o'clock this morning without ex tra charge.

Vows are solemn things and they should be made with much care and consideration. There was Jephthah who vowed to the Lord that if He would make him victorious in a perilous, important battle he would sacrifice th'e first living thing he met on reaching home.

No doubt ne thought it might be an ox. a horse, a dog, a slave, but alas, it was his beautiful daughter. A man vowed he would never cut his hair until Henry Clay was elected Well, he never cut his hair. Many people make foolish and hasty vows like that, ana some young men make engagement vows just as rashly, only to break them when they see the next pretty face. They little think of the sin and awful cru elty of what they are doing.

Some day your sin may find you out; Don't marry in haste. Most peop'e with whom there is no. mental nor physical Hindrance ought to marry. God intended that it should be so. But people shouldn't marry in haste.

Mar riage should be made a matter of thought and prayer. It ought to 4)6 well weighed. Persons who marry in haste often marry a bigamist, or a libertine, or worse. The result is often desertion, separation, woe. Some people marry on sight; marry at the banter of a Comparative stranger, marry hastily against the wishes of their parents.

People who marry In haste generally repent at leisure. Don't do work in haste, no matter whether it is making a pin, a garment, sweeping a room, teaching a lesson, or building a house or training a child. What is worth doing is worth doing well. Make a carwheel hastilv. or set a switch histily, and you may wreck a train and destroy a hundred lives.

Construct a wall hastily and you maye have a calamity. Build a flue hastily, and you may some nitrht burn down a city. A doctor cut out a small growth hastily and failed to remove the roots. A year or two later an effort to remove the greatly lengthened roots destroyed the life of the patient. uon try to make monev in haste.

Make money slowly and surely and use it for the glory of God and the good of mankind. Most people who try to make money in haste and eet rirh nuirk. in auige in questionable methods, are guilty of robbery and crime, get tainted money and are sometimes pierced through with many sorrows. Some resort to betting and gambling, other are given to "stock watering," patronizing pool rooms and bucket ashops, and corner markets, and oppress the poor and the wage earner, and indulge in trickery and business robbery. Such money is tainted, and a curse.

The maker is likely to find out sooner or later sharpers there who advertise schemes whereby one hundred or three thousand per cent, can be made in a short time. People send on their hard earned sav ings, until millions are poured into the coffers of the sharks, and then they are off to the ends of the earth, to spend their illgotten gains, and the investors have nothing but experience.

It is almost Incredible that intelligent people are caugnt in such foolish schemes as that The fool and his monev are soon nrted. I doubt whether a man ought to become a Christian hastily. Jt is a matter that should be well pondered.

Hasty enlistments for Christ don't as a rule nom out. Xhey are not made of the mujT mac endures. My Rible says, "Count the cost." I take it that that means make haste slowly. The Hible says that when a man builds a towe he should first see whether he has enough to finish it. Else it may become a.

monument or roily, or what (reneral 8" out to war unless ne nrst sees whether he has the resources to carry It to a successful completion. Count tne cost. The Christian life is no Joke. It means self denial, cross bearingc conflict, sometimes persecution. Count the cost, and the likelihood is you will endure.

But, of course, to avoid undue haste doesn't mean delay, postponement. The matter can be and ought to be taken up. earnestly, prayerfully and brought to the earliest conclusion possible. Delay may be fatal, may mean eternal disaster. There Is one thing among others that may be done with haste.

We have Scripture for It. That is rescuing others in great peril whether physical or spiritual. We are told that in view of the doom hastening? on Sodom that the angels hostened Lot out of the city to a place of safety. Those angels we commissioned of God and Ood knows what is best. Unless you hasten your Di otner.

your sister, your neighbor out of impending spiritual peril, they may be lost. What are you going to do hm it? Will you allow them to be lost, or win you hasten that they may bo saved. May tjod heln you to decld "Me that winneth souls Is wise." "We which converteth the sinner from the error or nis way shall save a soul from death and shall hide a multitude of sins.

AFTER A DAY OF FATIGUE.

A simple and homely cure after a day Of excessive fatigu especially when the business of shopping or sightseeing has brought on a nervous headache in addition to a feeling of lassitude, is to hold the feet In tnustasd and water for the space of some 10 or 15 minutes, this having the effect of drawing flic blond away from the, brain, and, in faot, resting tho entire' body. Tho "fresh air" method Is likewise exceedingly popular among many women, and has been found most efficacious. This consists In resting with the feet up for 20 minutes or half an hour beside the open window, taking deep inhalations through the nostrils from time to time, and expelling the breath rlowly nnd evenly.
